Lol they had a dude from Georgia on their roster.

Regardless Houston was well represented.  1st place with banditos going 11-1, angels going 10-1 finishing 3rd, heat silver finished 6th with 8-1-1.    Also of note the heat black was  4-1-2 and Kyle chapman going 4-2.

Clemens jumped ship to the banditos for some reason. Petitte is on heat black who didn't make it to the playoff round. The silver with biggio lost to banditos in final 8. Angels had bad first inning and also fell to banditos in semis. Banditos won it all, my least favorite Houston team....they tend to hire guns to come into tourneys where heat and angels are local kids. Regardless just goes to show that baseball in Houston is the best in the country.

Bhs Denny and Thames are on the Columbia angels who just made the final 4 in the 17u bracket. Biggios , Clemens and pettites kid are playing in the other final 8 game, winner to face the angels in the semi finals. Pretty impressive 3 Houston area teams in final 8 with 2 in final four and one to be in the title game. There was 250 teams in the tourney with the talent being the best of the best if you have never been.  http://www.perfectgame.org/events/Default.aspx?event=1206

The posting doesnt say varsity assistant, it says varsity baseball and freshman football which is exactly what Rupp did. Ive already said Thames should get it but the posting is in no way an indication that it has happened.

Hopefully Thames takes over at GCM. He is going to be a good one IMO.

Should be interesting , when do they publish a list of applicants?

Or make one of them a 9th grade campus (LEE)

Thats the point "dude", the more free bases you give up it only takes a hit here or there for disaster. I would much rather a pitcher throw strikes and give up hits while giving your D a chance to make a play then give up 9 free passes. It didnt cost them this time but thats exactly what gets you beat against teams this deep in the playoffs....dude

Letting starter get rest for possible game 3.

lol the starter that had 6 walks and 3 Hit batters? Sounds like he was flirting with disaster all night.
[/quote]So how many runs did Brehnam score off of this "flirting with disaster dude"??

Both pitchers pitched well in this game, but the little things costed GCM.  Down 2-1 with runners on 1st and 2nd, base hit to LF fairly shallow, the runner attempted to score and fell down...got into a run down and was tagged out. I dont know if Rupp was sending him or if he was just trying to draw a throw and the runner lost his balance but huge play.

Also not sure what GCM was thinking with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs in that same inning, runner on 2nd stole 3rd while runner one 1st did not go....a couple of pitches laters the runner on 1st was stealing second and would have been safe but the batter bunted it anyway right back to the pitcher for a free out that did nothing. Bizarre...next batter hit a shot to 3rd base base who knocked it down but didnt have a play so run scored and had 1st and 2nd with one  out  which led to the play above.

Also in the last inning, mag west walked #9 hitter . Mag west made a pitching change and brought in a kid throwing slow. GCM called for a bunt and the #1 hitter fouled 2 off..but instead of letting him swing away he bunted another foul for the 1st out. Bizarre, again the kid pitching was like 6'4 but throwing BP. Next kid K'd before a basehit had runners on 2nd and 3rd. Pop to right on the 1st pitch ended the game and season...Tough way to go out for the SRs. Got robbed by going to a 1 game series and with a couple of questionable plays. If Mag west #2 was the kid they brought in for relief they would have been in big trouble in a series and even if the game had gone extra innings.

PNG only has 3 losses all year and two were to BH? and BH isnt ranked?

13-5 final Pasadena won

score?

didnt clay hit one against baytown lee last week? the baytown sun had it in the paper?

He is an asst at Houston Christian now. I havent seen or heard anything about BCA this year other than someone posting on here that silsbee beat them 17-0 a few weeks ago.

Sounds like you are in luck as this year you may be able to get revenge. That coach is gone as are all the players, as far as I know only one of the good ones stayed.

yikes thats a close one !

i was wondering if bca stil even had a team

Bot 7
ST.      8
GCM. 0

Fairchild goes 6 innings. Allows 2 walks and 1 hit (A Gonzalez).
M. Martinez started for GCM and left in the 3rd with an injury to his throwing arm.

I thought MM was already hurt ?

HAWKS JV go 4-0 at WestBrook tourney.  8)

You guys know you were playing the freshman teams from the other schools right? Does HJ not have a freshman team?

Not sure about RSS's varsity group but the CB stars along with the two studs at gentry are all playing on the frosh A team although they could all be on jv easily....probably just want to keep them together as they have a new system and first time to play together. This is a group to watch, lots of speed and talent.

What was wrong with Chance?

Reed Seely was just named first team all greater houston by the chronicle based on being 21-5a's mvp last year as a Jr.

Looking forward to the GCM vs BH and vs Lee games this year.  Is Beasley starting at C for BH?

Dang to burke fail a grade? I was 21 when I graduated college.

He could have gone to a Juco but most clubs will not pay big money to a kid that is going Juco... they can draft him next year and wait and see what he does... or see if he gets hurt they are not losing money because they have not paid him..
you can get drafted and not sign... just means if the kid decides to go pro by aug. they have the rights to him....
If you go D1 you are not eligible for the draft till you are a JR...
now Gabby has already signed with a D1 school.. Lamar... this could be a power move on his part.... a club is going to have to pay him big money or lose him for 3 years..

You are draft eligible after your junior year or when you turn 21....which ever comes first.  As in Purke's case, he will draft eligible after his soph. year @ TCU. Many kids that project high, sign with a D1 and a JUCO. Check your pms.
