Michele Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 With tryouts nearing, share any info you have on returning players, up and coming prospects, predictions for this year, etc. . . . Can't wait for this season to get started! Quote
crush16 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 As everyone knows LCM stayed in 4A. So that should make the local 5A happy. With out LCM's Pitchers of the Past. It was very welcoming to not move up. But back on subject. LCM has 4 or 5 returning starters. But a big SR class for them. So will be looking for some underclassmen to step up and play with the Big Girls. Quote
3n2 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 I am sure the local 5a teams were looking forward to LCM being a little down. Quote
7mary3 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Can't wait for some Broncos softball! Quote
OneChance Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Does anybody know what kind of softball teams GCM and Lee have? Quote
crush16 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 In the past they have been average. Nothing that's dominate. Not sure about this year. Quote
badndn Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 GCM not bad. I think Lee is down from what they had been in past. Much like the football team. I expect GCM to compete for a playoff spot. Quote
CRUSHCOACH Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 This District Championship will be between PNG and Nederland. Both will have plenty of talent to make long runs in the playoffs. PNG is going to be tough for anyone to handle the next couple of years. They will have one of the best PITCHING STAFFS around. Nederland just reloads every year. Last years Champ ( Vidor ) graduated a great group of Seniors that are going to be hard to replace. But, they still have some VERY GOOD players back for their Senior year as well as a couple of underclassmen that played some good ball last year on Varsity. Not sure about the rest of the district. Quote
Starnight Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Vidor returns 7 starters that lost 1 district game last year but that's ok go ahead and crown the mid county schools. Lumberton looks be very competive this coming season Quote
Dottie Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Vidor only lost 3 Seniors last year and only 2 that were starters and of those 2 only one in a major position.. Vidor should still be a very strong team this season. Quote
Eazy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 I would think Vidor has a great shot to win district. Don't they still have the speedster that you can't get out? Losing to K-Park last year was just ridiculous and I would expect they make up for it with a deep run this year. Quote
7mary3 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Going to be a fun season. Don't go to sleep on KWP they're scrappy good. There will be lots of teams out for a little revenge this coming up season. Ready for the Dayton v BH games. Just hope for an injury free season & a trip to Austin for my Lady Broncos.

badndn Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Vidor will be the preseason favorites this year. Lumberton also has a talented group of Seniors this year. I'd expect the top 5 to compete for the 4 playoff spots. In no order those five should be Vidor, Lumberton, PNG, Nederland and GCM. Last year was a six team race for four spots. Quote
pngfan66 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 I know PNG will have alot of players returning. They will also have some extremely talented Freshmen playing this year. I know of 2 girls who pitch over 60 MPH right now at age of 14 and 15.(freshman) Very accurate. Have watched both play for years. Should be a very good district race this year. Quote
KPFAN68 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Eazy, How was losing to KPark ridiculous? I was at the game and KPark outplayed a very good Vidor team. Vidor will be very good again this year. So will KPark. Lost 3 seniors, only one was a starter. I think KPark and Vidor will both be just fine this year. Quote
Eazy Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 No disrespect to KP. It was a winner take all game and they went and took it. They were inspired and earned the win. I just think that Vidor was too good to go out in the 1st playoff game. I'm sure both squads will be solid again this year. Quote
Dottie Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Vidor was and is too good to go out in the first round. They had a bad game that night and had some seriously bad calls made against them that hurt them both in the game and in their heads. It was a rough game. Vidor still has the "bullet" .. for the most part the team is still the same group of girls. They only lost 3 seniors last year... one of those wasn't a starter. So the team should still be strong this year and ready to go to playoffs. Quote
Softball IQ Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 No 4A talk here.....very suprising Quote
CRUSHCOACH Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 No 4A talk here.....very suprising Ummmm.... What does the move -in pitcher at Orangefield look like ? That is the question. If she's for real they should be a favorite along with HJ, who should be loaded. Bridge City wil be very good as well. Newcomer to the District, LCM, will be in the mix depending on how the pitching comes around. Just my opinion. I also think Buna may surprise some people this year. Quote
Michele Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 Bridge City has a VERY GOOD Freshman pitcher this year!!!! Quote
CRUSHCOACH Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Bridge City has a VERY GOOD Freshman pitcher this year!!!! Bridge City also has a VERY GOOD SENIOR pitcher this year !!!! Matter of fact she will be signing a LOI Thursday to play College ball. Quote
Softball IQ Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 I always love when people say pitchers are "VERY GOOD" because they throw hard. They better also be smart, have great movement and offspeed stuff to go with it or else the HS teams with select ball kids will show a pitcher just how truly good they are. BC's and PNG's senior pitchers have made great careers and future college careers on movement. (I only commented on them because others have spoken so much about the young pitchers on those teams and I can't wait to watch them over the next several years.) I am glad there are so many "Very Good" Freshman pitchers in the area because pitching means the world to HS softball. (I know form experience). Those young players will get there time in the circle to prove just how good they are but don't under estimate how important battle tested senior leadership is to a HS Softball Team. It has been a while since I have seen a player in HS that thows mid 60's with movement in the Beaumont Area and once again....I cant wait to watch them if there are a couple doing that now or in the future. Quote
crush16 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 I would still like know why everyone is so hush hush about the move in in Orangefield. Can anyone shed some light on this. I believe LCM will hold its own in the new district. They will be solid at the plate and on defense. The biggest question will be on the mound. Hope it starts soon. Quote
