[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="818259" timestamp="1279210881"] Right now, I say the Katy vs. West Brook game is the best. But as the season progresses, things could change. ;) [/quote] I'd have to agree on this one right now.

[quote name="Jackthehammer" post="818136" timestamp="1279139708"] Port Neches Groves should win they play against that style of offense 2 times a year. [/quote] If they run one of the variations of the Tee, then our coaches showed a pretty stout defense last year to slow those offenses down. Livingston 39 rushes 85 yards 2.2 ypc (93 total yards) 7 pts Vidor 37 rushes 182 yards 4.9 ypc (250 total yards) 13 pts - that was against the very good three headed monster they had last year.

[quote name="tpriddy" post="818217" timestamp="1279168595"] Unfortunately I heard the GT Shockers dropped there first bracket game 6-1 to a team that should be competing in the "A" division. [/quote] Shouldn't all second year 10U's be competing in the "A" division? How is PCB? Is it crowded? Hoping it will be pretty quiet next week when we get there with all of the non-softballers staying away due to the media beach scare! ;D We will be there Saturday. If we get there early enough we will come out and support you gals.

[quote name="Tigers9" post="816666" timestamp="1278549121"] Yes, we can agree on that. but that wasnt the point you were making.......it would have been better said, no team from the GT is going to ASA Nationals. [b]Thats why Houston tourn, ASA qualifiers, and OK, and CO tournaments are the best place to play in our region.........not Bmt and West Lake.......but that is a whole DIFFERENT subject.[/b] [/quote] Now this we can agree upon 100%!

So it's a dead issue. I agree it is splitting hairs, but in the softball world PCB is not considered Nationals. Until you play against the California teams you haven't played in a National Championship. USFA is more of a Southeastern thing. [/quote] It could actually be THE issue. What if some of them would like to? "In softball world" Not sure what that means I guess. There are players in this area that would probably disagree being you just took a "National Championship" away from them. We played and beat California teams in the Colorado Fireworks 2 years in a row, in fact, we have never lost to a California team.......what does that mean? NOTHING except we played in a tournament in CO and won some games. BUT it wasnt a National Tournament........... [/quote] Would you agree that to be the best you should have to beat the best?

[quote name="tpriddy" post="816398" timestamp="1278428719"] There will be at least two teams in Panama City Beach playing in the USFA World Series that are mostly 99 birthdays at that time. [/quote] 1st...Panama City is not Nationals...Anyone can play in that tournament. All you have to do is pay and play in a state tournament.  Nationals is ASA or IFA, where you have to qualify by placing in state or regional tournaments (we are going to PCB this year). And yes I was well aware that OOC and GT Shockers are going to PCB next week. Hope they have a great time. Should be fun. We can't wait for the week after when we will be there. 2nd...The 10U World Series is next week.

PNG 2010 OLine LT - 6'2" 250 - K. Nicotre (Jr. Returning Starter) LG - 6'3" 310 - G. Langlois (Sr. Returning Starter) C  - 6'2" 250 - B. Parks (Sr. Played some last year) RG - 6'2" 265 - P. Braud (Sr. Played some last year) RT - 6'3" 270 - G. Lunceford (Sr. Returning Starter) The lines on both sides of the ball are your foundation. And PNG will be stout on both sides of the ball in the trenches, with loads of returning impact players.

The others were the opposite. PNG was up and held on to win. Crosby was a second half push to take the lead, but not a score within a minute. The one that stands out the most outside of the Central game is that 1999 victory over Schertz Clemens at Kyle Field. RC Slocum said that series made him a D. Long believer and he offered shortly after. [/quote] I seem to remember our last touchdown at the Crosby game coming at the very last second. As for Texas City, we may not have been behind in the last minute of the game, but we weren't ahead, either, and I believe that Barbers Hill was ahead until we made the final touchdown of the game and scored with the PAT, although that may not have been in the last minute of the game. Then again, I could be wrong. That was a while back and I tend to catch the last few minutes of each game intermittently due to certain responsibilities I have to the band. [/quote] Barbers Hill tied the game at 14 in the 3rd Q and PNG scored early in the 4th to take a 21-14 lead. BH scored about halfway through the 4th Q, but missed the XP. Our boys held on late on defense to get the W. TC actually scored with about 30 seconds left, then converted the 2 pts to tie that game. We won it in OT. Against Crosby two years ago PNG scored 21 pts in a 3 minute span at the begining of the 4th to take the lead 28-21. Actually Crosby scored inside of a minute, but missed the XP to tie it. All exciting games and PNG wins, but none were actual come from behind victories for PNG in the last minute. WOW...We have had some real heart thumpers the past two years. Include the Central and Brehnam games as well as the LCM game and the allways exciting Nederland game and it has been a crazy time!

Yea, I don't think the Little League folks are out to punish a kid from All-Stars because he got hurt! That would be insane. ::)

You mean OOC 96 right?

2008 1st round pick (#10 overall) Catcher Jason Castro, third baseman Chris Johnson and OFer Jason Bourgeois will be in Astro Unis on Tuesday. Castro and Johnson will be everyday players according to management. Congrats kids...Welcome to the bigs...Now take this bat and go try and hit off of Tim Lincecum! ;D All three at AAA Round Rock this year.           Avg./OBP/Slug. Castro .265/.365/.355 - 4 HR - 26 RBI (32 walks and only 34 Ks). Last year he hit .300/.380/.446 - 10 HR - 73 RBI. Started off slow this year, but has turned it up lately. Very disciplined at the plate, unlike our current lineup except Berkman. A+ Defender, B+ Hitter, C+ Power. If he hits around .290/.380/.420 with 10+ HR each year and plays defense like they say, then we have a winner. Johnson .329/.362/.570 - 8 HR - 33 RBI (Only played in 38 games due to injury). This is the guy that hit 8 HR this Spring. His biggest problem is his defense. 10 errors in 38 games at third. Bourgeois .345/.405/.477 - 5 HR - 3 3B - 18 SB. Forest Brook HS Product. Probably wont see a lot of time until they trade away either Berkman or Lee.

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="813353" timestamp="1276793017"] Both are good and both will get a chance to prove theirself in a couple of months. [/quote] Maybe not. Forney may not start at QB. Nederland has another pretty good QB who was hurt in game one (Smith). Forney may be needed at DE more if Smith is healthy. The numbers for Forney are very good over a short period, but the biggest number was 3-1 and almost beating Crosby. The team was 2-5 and probably not going to the playoffs before they put him behind center. I love Doty as our QB, but it is hard to argue against what Forney did.

[quote name="Jduncan1" post="813336" timestamp="1276788915"] Forney ????? Please give me reasons why he is the best in 20 4a [/quote] Not hard to argue when you look at the numbers he put up and wins he helped them to! Completed 55% of his passes for 941 yards, 11 TDs and only 4 Ints in only 4 games of which they went 3-1. Forney 235 yds / 2.75 tds / 1 int per game and comleted 55%. Looks pretty good to me. Doty 163 yds / 1.25 tds / 1 int per game and completed 56%. Of course PNG had a stout running game and Nederland did not. Gonzo 164 yds / 1 td / 1.1 ints per game and completed 53%. He also rushed for 400 yds and 12 tds. The better athlete yes, not best QB. I saw them play several times and as a QB he really didn't throw the ball down field much at all. Most of his passes where the WR screen to Sonnier. Hughes 164 yds / 1.3 tds / 0.6 ints per game and completed 53%. He also ran the ball well.

[quote name="Scalp'em" post="811185" timestamp="1276193713"] I think the SEC will go after Miami, Florida State and Georgia Tech. Just guessing though. That would give the SEC 16 teams. [/quote] Remember the ACC is a strong Academic Conference, maybe the strongest after the Ivy. Not sure GTech would want to join the SEC who is a poor academic conference outside of Vandy. This is one of the reasons UT has steered toward the Pac10 and not the SEC. Also many folks see Miami as a thug school due to all the issues with the Football teams over the years, but it is actually a very good school. Now FSU tends to bring down the ACC in the academic areas!

Where's Gilmer?  :o

What is there to gain? Go back and look at the past and most that have done this have regreted it big time.
