All I am saying is that I was expecting alot more from him. The way you people talk about Waldrup you make him sound like hes going to be the next Ronaldinho. Kirby on the other hand does live up to the expectations set by this message board. I mean, come on, Kirby has a hat trick and is out of the game before the half is even over. He is the best player in SETX hands down.

Thank you--I really wanted to know--all I see on this site from Lumberton fans is a lot of talk--I just wanted to know if that is all it was or were they good at something

What was the biggest upset you were ever involved in? Talk about your miracle upset win, or your unexpected upset loss, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Hes talkinbg about 3 people on here talking crap and they dont even play they are putting alot on our shoulders...so if we dont turn out to be as good as they talk us up to be then the season is gonna be a dissapointment.

Rub-a-Dub said u say that nobody will talk mess to his face.... well then if he is so big and bad why is a girl sticking up for him and he isnt?? first off she isnt taking up for me she is just telling everyone how she feels about baseball and wos. Second I'm not saying anything because I don't care what people say about me. I'm not going to let it bother me because I'm not the type of person to get all upset about some immature people talking mess on me. If thats what they wanna do then fine by me. I'm just sitting back and seeing what everyone writes about me so i can build it up and take it in because its going to make me more motivated and when baseball comes i will show them what I can do on the field and off of it. So i dont have to take up for myself because i know what im capable of doing and none of yall people do so just keep talking mess. You all people will see come jan 29.

u say that nobody will talk mess to his face.... well then if he is so big and bad why is a girl sticking up for him and he isnt??

Silsbee was probably glad it got canceled. They knew what was coming, that can of whoop A$$. Whoop there it is. Just kidding all you tiger faithful. You know Its not becoming of me to talk smack. On a serious side, I can't believe they postponed this game. Its is not bad outside. I was so geared up to watch two really good teams get after one another. I guess I will have to have a drink and calm down till tomorrow. I think I can wait one more day.

Mr. Reality, For your info NO I am not a kid, I am a proud oiler fan and parent and I am just giving a prediction I know my boys can do... talk about Reality dont think Daisetta will be so high up with Big Sandy.... H-D can play but if #33 gets the fouls called on him like he should with being over the back then H-D will not have as many points as you say

All this talk about these coaches because they are at public schools . . . Gotta give Fontana the top rating on this one. Ive trained under select, Houston and other coaches. Fontana knows the game. He trains his way and runs his team the way he wants ran. If we make a mistake its because we screwed up and we pay for it know matter who you are. He believes in the team "A team that passes together is a team that will win together" Fontana - He teaches everyone must play def. Thats just his way. Building a program is what he has Done for Kelly and i am proud to play for him. He probably could go coach at any school he wanted. So i give fontana the 1 one spot

Hello all. I hope you don't mind if I offer my two cents. I agree that it really never matters how you "start" if you are able to get to that one consistant launch point that all good hitters get to at the exact moment the ball arrives in the hitting zone. Julio Franco and Craig Counsel with the unorthodox bat position to begin, Bichette and Galarraga would nearly face the pitcher with their open stances, and Arod prefers the high leg kick, as does Jeter, Shef and several others. All these "starting points" are irrelevant if you are ready to launch at the right time. But when we talk about high school kids, things are not that simple. Many kids bring little league baggage with them to the high school ranks. They got away with lots of flaws when they matured quicker than some of their counterparts on the little league diamond, but when the playing surface is more level, their flaws are obvious to the well-trained eye and sometimes to the not-so-well-trained eye. When we discuss high school hitters, many problems exist with the most common problem I've run across being the stride. Average high school kids at smaller schools, where baseball is something they only practice after football and basketball seasons are over and in between track and the weight room during the spring, have to optimize their time. The long, lunging stride collapses their front side, opens them up too early, restricts their ability to keep the hands inside the ball, causes their heads to move, thus putting their eyes on an alternate plane, and on and on and on. Incidently, when I look at Arod, I don't see a long stride. The leg kick back to the body does not necessarily mean "long stride". The stride, from starting point to landing point for most all of your successful big league hitters, is very small if not at all (Edmonds, Alou, etc). Bags had a "reverse" stride, but still managed to hit off a firm front side. But to get the types of kids to which I refer to wait, wait, wait...EXPLODE...is a very difficult proposition. Do any of you guys on here run into the same thing with stride problems? What types of things do you do to combat overstriding?

I Know this is ridiculous Bobcat I really wish you would stop trying to make an issue out of this for one minute, and understand that I completely agree with you that players change from one season to the next. I know how players work harder to get better and how some players also mature over time. I think that these forums are fun to read are hear about all the other teams in the area. You get on these things to talk about your up and comming team and what YOU feel. Not what you want other people to feel. I have not said one thing about not playing the best or who should play or not play. I have never said that the coaches could not coach, and I have full faith that they will be able to do their jobs and have success. All I did was give an opinion, and all you did was blow it up considerably. I don’t care how you feel, instead of attacking me you should follow this forum and give your opinion who you think will be big players for their team is this year. If you do not want to do then start your own forum titled “Lets Argue.†I’m sure you would love that one. I have never attacked you but it seems you always have something to say about my comments. I will be at every game this year just like I have been for the last 15 years, and I will not ever say anything negative about the bobcats only cheer them on no matter who starts. But I can say just by the way you act on this forum, you would say something if things didn’t go as you planned. Let this die and lets get on with this forum.

hahaha...who writes in pink? well, to answer that question...i am a girl, most girls like pink, dont gripe at me gripe at whoever made setx sports and put pink as a color option. my panties are not in a bunch, but i dont appriciate rude comments about people, especially since i never even said anything about Terry Veitch in the first place, all i said was alot of people are anxious to see how the mustangs come out this year with a new coach! Bignasty was classless to call Terry Veitch out like that, so sorry bignasty, no time for power naps over here, we are gettin hyped up for baseball season. and since Terry gets brought up in disrespectful way i will definately defend him, he is my boyfriend after all, and i adore him!!! in my eyes he will always be an ace, no matter what anyone else's opinion. And to everyone who has said good things about him on here, thank you, because your right, no will will talk mess to Terrys face, and he is a very good and respectful kid. he not only has natural talent, but he has heart and he works his butt off to improve himself...hes not one of those arrogant little jerks running around thinkin they are good at everything. he shows very good sportsmanship and he puts everything he has into his game. so everyone can go ahead and talk all the mess they want...Terry will be GREAT this year, theres no doubt in my mind.

I think im gonna be sick... Reading all this talk about HJ "owning all" really the tallents just not there..... As for the rest of the district it should be fun... IMO HJ should come back down to earth with the rest of us.... Ive played them in recient years and them "owning all" not likely.....

Well here is my true feeling on the subect. You baseball parents are funny. Most of these threads are stupid, from preseason picks too "who makes an impact". Let the kids figure this out and they will if you let them. Baseball season is a month away and we already have all this talk. The only talk I know is on the playing field. I am just an outsider looking in. I don't have a dog in this fight. I hear all this blah, blah, blah about so and so is the best pitcher or the best hitter. How do we really know? What they did last year means nothing. Each year you have to prove yourself again, thats just life. Even in the work force. They don't care what you did before but what have you done for me lately? The same principal applies for sports. Its sad but its true.

That would get the talk started. Our area has some outstanding lifters every year.

Basketball vs Football From ESPN: Basketball, not football, rules at this Texas school Associated Press BROCK, Texas -- As the Friday night lights shine at most high schools in this football-centric state, the campus in Brock remains silent and dark. "Around here, football is often called the f-word." -- Richard Tedder, schools superintendent in Brock, Texas Even the hint of football has caused some hard feelings in this small town about 40 miles west of Fort Worth. A school board member who favored adding the sport and even offered $100,000 to start the program was voted out and said he was shunned by some for months. "Around here, football is often called the f-word," said Richard Tedder, schools superintendent since 2004. Brock High School, steeped in the tradition of a basketball program nearly 100 years old, is among a handful of schools in Texas' second-smallest classification without a football program. While not alone in its gridiron void, Brock certainly isn't among the majority in a state that boasts nearly 1,200 teams. "It's a rarity," said Dave Campbell, who founded Texas Football magazine and has covered the sport since the early 1950s. Football is "kind of one of the major factors that can unite a town, unite a community." But football has a history of dividing those who live in and around Brock. Residents rejected a football proposal in 1991, but four years later, the school board voted 4-3 in favor of one. "It caused a pretty big rift in the community and led to some new people being elected to the board in the spring," Tedder said. The new board overturned the decision 6-1. Phil Lumsden, who lost his re-election bid after the 1995 vote, said when word got out that he had written a $100,000 check to help start a football program, some people didn't talk to him for months. "Basketball here is what football is to most other schools. The history of Brock really runs through the basketball program." -- Scott Drillette, Brock High School principal "The reason is that they thought it would affect their basketball program and possibly some of the recognition and some of the monies," he said. The superintendent estimated it would cost at least $1.5 million for a stadium and equipment, plus yearly expenses of between $200,000 and $300,000 for coaches' salaries and maintenance. And there might not be enough athletes to go around, Tedder said. "I think the community feels that football may stretch kids to the point that we might not be successful in all our programs," he said. "They don't want to sacrifice tradition for the uncertainty of the success of a football program, and they realize the finances of it." Since the first boys team was formed at the school in 1911, basketball has united Brock. The tradition has only grown deeper in recent years with five state championships among the boys and girls teams since 2002. "Basketball here is what football is to most other schools," said principal Scott Drillette, who moved to Brock from nearby Aledo, a 4A school with a strong football tradition. "The history of Brock really runs through the basketball program." Lumsden said a football team would get more students involved in extracurricular activities at a school that has more than doubled in size in 15 years -- from 113 students to 236. Some of the basketball players "could dribble a ball before they could walk and their families put a lot of time into it, and they wanted their kids to follow in their footsteps," he said. "I don't see anything wrong with that, but you have to do something for those other kids." "State baseball is all that matters [to me] now, because it's going to be a while before we get football." -- Kyle Combs, Brock JV baseball player Anthony Daniell, a sophomore catcher on Brock's junior varsity baseball team, is among the Brock athletes who don't play basketball. He said he and most of his teammates would play football if given the chance because it would be played during baseball's offseason. Several of his teammates used to play youth football in nearby Weatherford but soon outgrew the program, which caters to elementary and middle school students. "That's kind of what you did in Brock because Brock didn't have peewee football. You went to Weatherford and played for the Weatherford Warriors," said Kyle Combs, a junior pitcher on the JV baseball team. "Almost everyone on the team would probably play football." But if history serves as a guide, those players will have to wait. After years of pressure, meetings and petitions, the school board has no plans to add football. "State baseball is all that matters [to me] now, because it's going to be a while before we get football," Combs said. Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press

WOW! your are really dumb....next time you talk you really should think about what you are saying....no reason to be upset that yall lost....

by: OHS_1994 wrote Terry is a great kid, and I would love tou see one of you little punks say any of this to his face. That would be very funny. thanks ohs it means alot to me for you to say that im not really worried about what everyone says about me it aint bothering me it will bother them when i prove them wrong i mean im taking all this in and im gonna go out there and shut their mouths up and show everyone why i made 2nd team pitcher it dont bother me i dont care if they are gonna talk like that thats their problem i will jus show up at the game and when i pitch i will prove all of these sayings wrong so just sit back and relax but thanx for what you said to know that someone knows how i am

No I've only noticed you talking smack about Deweyville, you seriously need to move on. Praise your team, and let the players play the game on the field. Most of the time it's the adults that mess up and talk trash.

has anyone noticed deweyville will talk trash on buna whether they lost got 3rd in district or only scored a touch down its really kinda silly.

he does hit against the front side a lot but he is strong enough to do that. most of big league hitters do hip slide. however we talk about arod being the best player we have seen and will see but over the years his strikeouts are way up and his average is way down. in my opinion it is because he does to much hip sliding. watch pujols he doesnt slide at all this is why he is probably the best player we will ever see and nobody even talks about it. is it because he doesnt make 220 million. i see a lot of things wrong with arods swing and dont think we should be teaching our kids this today. we should build around pujols swing, a strong base and staying behind the ball not lurching at it like arod seems to do.

I went to the WOS at HJ game and the HJ fans are crazy. When that game ended I couldnt even hear myself talk.

i sure wish more highschool lifters would get on this forum so we could talk a little more powerlifting

I got my hands on this footage of the halftime talk in the Cowboys locker room: [Hidden Content]

Come on fellas. I dont post on here but this is ridiculous. Silsbe lost to WOS by 20! HJ has beaten them 2 times in the last two weeks. HJ had a bad night. To say they are not a number 4 ranked team in the state may be true but you cant base your opinion on 1 night. What about HJ beating Lufkin Hudson by 30+ and silsbee barely beats them. Silsbee has great athletes who had a good night. Then the stuff about Sutherland................WOW!!!!!!!!! This guy is arguably the best coach in the area and one of the best in Texas. You guys need to think before you talk! Questioning him is pretty funny............would anyone care for me to post his record?
