I think the folks in Sour Lake and China need to take a step back and breathe a little bit.  I will tell y'all what I told your Week 4 opponents at LC-M, that there will be opportunity the next 2 weeks to work kinks out against opponents who are also struggling out of the gate.  It will give time for Coach Sloan and staff to evaluate the spread option to determine what needs to be done, up to and including junking it and going back to the slot T.  And I am quite sure that he will have the correct personnel to operate on both offense and defense.
Also, a ray of optimism is the landscape of 4A-II, Region III where it looks like the folks out of District 9 could be big players, even the 4th place team.

I recently took my son and another young man to a jr. college to try out for the baseball team. As I watched all the parents bring their sons to try out I noticed Coach Nelson from Silsbee had taken his own time to bring 3 or 4 guys to try out also. He was a pleasure to talk to and he has a burning desire to see all of his kids make it to the next level. I guess that burning desire is contagious because Silsbee definitely has a great baseball program. It was nice to see a Coach take time out during the summer to help those seniors and underclassmen get the opportunity to make their dreams come true. I wish more Coaches would do the same!

Absolutely agree! No dog in the hunt here either. I feel sorry for the players who legitimately deserve the All-District awards, but the honor of being put on these teams was watered down by some of these picks.   These selections bring into question; Is it about your Fielding%, BA, OPS, ...etc. or something else?   It was the same way with the football All-District selections.  
 
Now I have a question and I'm just trying to figure out the selection process....Why do you have 3 1st Team pitchers and only 2 2nd Team?  Also why 5 1st Team OF and only 3 2nd Team OF?  This is a legitimate question, not trying to be a smart a**.  Does it go by BA then Fielding% for Positional Players, maybe with slugging%, OPS and OB% in the mix to break any ties?  Just curious.  
 
Also congrats to the teams from 21-3A who made the playoffs and to Silsbee who went up against a really tough College Station team!  Also, it was refreshing to see HF's Coach Morris bring some passion back to that program.

No doubt BC and Silsbee should dominate the list but I question the legitimacy of other picks. This response has no bearing on my own kids that play. This should be based on performance and nothing else! When a coach starts factoring in other components other than a kids potential, he is doing a disservice and injustice to the kids who truly deserve the recognition.  JMO but this list each year looses its credibility.

Board member Reece's comments on TEA takeover:

Reece claims the commissioner being republican was why he ruled for the takeover. :rolleyes:

What else do you need me to do "slappy" ? I just typed in word for word what the district rule states. Consider yourself enlightened. If I could post a pic I'd show the document that coaches use. When I do I'll be glad to accept your humble apology.

I think this game is going to get ugly around the 3rd or 4th inning.  The Hawks have been having a hard time in the late innings due to lackluster relief on the bump.  Injuries have left the bench really lacking, and with the shoulder injury Tuesday night to Cooley, it will be hard to find someone with his range and speed to replace him in Center Field. The only bright spot so far is AJ Broussard who was runner-up for the Texas 3A Hitter Of The Week when he went 5-6, 3-2B, BB, 2 SB, 3 R, 2 RBI (.833).  Hopefully, the Hawks can cut down on the fielding errors and stay in the game.

During the end of May, we plan our evenings around the Softball College World Series.  Even my boy's watch.....but possibly not for the same reason as the wife and I do. :D

Bobby, Mike did a heck of a job considering how many people he had to replace.  He is a Defensive line coach.  By the way, he played college basketball.

Yeah I seen this movie some time ago. It is a really good documentary. The coach really rides a fine line on being disciplined and soft hearted with these inner city kids. If he went to far on discipline he would completely lose them and if he was too soft they would have just run over him. He was the perfect fit for them. He is the epitome of coaching.

This sums up the last few days

I didn't realize how often I checked the board until it wasn't there.  The last few days were dark times indeed!
