25-2A predictions?

[7texas]

who will take the top three??

[Piratesdad4410]

1st    Deweyville  3-1
2nd  E C            3-1
3rd    Kontze      2-2
4th    Hardin        2-2
5th    Anahuac    0-4

The way Kountze "just using that for configuration of this thought" wins a district title; goes as follows, winning against AP all three times and beating EC, DP, & HH at least twice for a guaranteed outright district title. For a playoff spot it starts the same with AP, but differs in the rest.  That team would have to beat one of the above three teams twice and the other two just once and that would guarantee the third spot...beating two of those three twice and the other just once would in turn give you the second playoff spot. I am sure there are several back door ways to get there, but this is the most straight forward. If you don't like Kountze than feel free to insert your own team in that slot and follow the same pattern and it will end with the same outcome.

No particular order...pitching is the wild card for this district, and not the lack of but just the opposite. The odds of winning my be a little better one vs the other but over all the below four are pretty tight.

Kountze ... Odds are higher having two guys like Franklin and Marshall
Deweyville ... Next best odds because of having a guy like Howell
EC ... Decent pitching but good bats raises the odds in EC's favor.
Hardin ... Near equal odds with a guy like williams and decent bats.

THIS DISTRICT WILL REMAIN TIGHT THRU THIS NEXT ROUND OF PLAY...IT WILL COME DOWN TO THE ABOVE GUYS FINAL OUTING WITH ONE ANOTHER.

This looks to be the finishing order IMO.

[wackpack]

1..Ec
2. Deweyville
3. Kountze 
Ec played a really bad game against the pirates last fri.  Look for a different team next round.

the only way EC might be able to beat D-Ville is if they throw there #2 pitcher. last friday night Howell had A bad night walked more batters than I ever seen him walk And EC was still only able to get 2 runs. D-ville finaly have there bats working a lot better and stole 10 bases 2 of them being Home JMO Deweyville will take first in this District EC will take Second Kountze and hardin battle for third.

East chambers pitching isn't very good. IMO the other teams in the district are going to take advantage of that. D-ville is most likely going to win with howel on the mound. Hardin is definitely going to contend for the first spot in the district with all of their players coming back afters grades. And as far as Kountze they are going to have a tough road if pitching doesn't show up.
1. d-ville
2. hardin
3. EC

Pitching has been showing up lol..with the exception of the EC when Marshall was hurt.. Gave up 1 run to Deweyville..1 to Hardin..1 to Anahuac.. Hitting is what needs to come around for Kountze.. and Kountze will be fine..

[big time]

Any one of the four teams could win district. E.C. would not have a record of 3-1 if there pitching wasn't very good.

[DP70]

Standings after yesterday, I think.

1. Deweyville (4-1)
2. East Chambers (3-1)
3. Kountze (3-2)
4. Hardin (2-3)
5. Anahuac (0-5)

If Deweyville can pull off A win like i think they will thursday night against Hardin that will knock hardin out of the running for first or second. JMO

McHenry has been pitching pretty well for the Pirates since District started, he has 2-wins and he closed out the EC win by pitching the last couple innings.  He pitched well against Kountze the 1st go around, the Defense didn't help him out with the errors and still held the Lions to only 4 runs, 2 being earned. So the Pirates feel confident with McHenry Pitching and he has delivered so far in District.

The only caveat...who your batters are hitting against.  Not taking anything away from McHenry. When other teams face Howell they have the same challenge. This district has some great pitching! Proud of all of them...but have to admit I'm a bit biased to Marshall and Franklin from Kountze...LOL...sorry. I can't wait till next Friday because it should bring a great match up between Deweyville and Kountze for round two...PITCHING DUEL BABY!

I agree, this District has some very good Pitchers in it.  Next Friday should be a great atmosphere with Franklin/Howell dueling. Lot's of Baseball left and it looks like it will come down to the last game or two to settle it.
