What is the purpose of not releasing all district selections prior to the last team playing in the playoffs?  All District selections have absolutely no bearing on playoffs.

 

It's just a rule of thumb to not announce the selections until all the teams in your district have completed their season. They probably do so to avoid all the distractions that usually accompany those picks. Keeps your focus on the field.

Never around here has a 9th grader been named District MVP that I can recall. But can't recall any local district to all be eliminated in the first round either. Not since three or four teams have gone to the playoffs. I remember when teams from this area roared through the playoffs, sometimes even to meet up in regional final to go to the big dance. What has changed?

Looks to me like they were all young. That could be it.

20 years from now: A man and some "ole buddies", along with their sons, sitting around the camp reliving the ole glory days........

 

Dad - Son you need to work hard, put in the hours, like we did and you can achieve success.

 

Son - I want to set some goals to work for...... What is something I can work toward at the high school level?

 

Dad - First you can set your sights on being the best you can be......  You can set a goal to make the "All District Team" like I did in High School....

 

Dad's "ole buddy" - Yeah just like every other player in our district!!!!!

 

Ended that conversation very quickly....... Now they just sit the rest of the evening ribbing each other about how bad each of them ACTUALLY were.....  By the way, dad was the H2O boy!!!!!

 

LOL, everybody wins!!!!

If I remember correctly...there are 8 District 20-4A teams and this would require 9 starters to play the game?

 

Now if my math is right...that would be AT LEAST 72 total young men starting/playing this great game of baseball but not including those who ride the pine as pinch runners,hitters,ready to play when givien the chance!

 

1st team 24 players picked and 2nd team 20 players picked...this is half of the district starters...so who cares if they are getting a little recognition.

 

Congrats to all these fine young men...GO DOGS!!

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
