After looking at the scores from the District Tomball came out of, it appears that Tomball is going to be tough. Good luck West End and Groves.

Below is a great website to keep up with Little League Baseball Tournament Scores local as well as nationally.  It has very good historical information for Allstar teams dating all the way back to the 1950s!  Just an FYI

Good Luck to West End, bring the Sectional Title back to SE Texas!

Well, West End got beat up pretty bad tonight.  Tomball can flat-out hit fastballs.  We get one more shot tomorrow, but they are solid.

It was a shame the 12's lost..they were a very talented team.

West End's 10's get a shot at revenge tonight.  They are playing Tomball's 10's for the Section 2 championship.  West End has had to come thru the losers bracket after losing their first game to Tomball 8-7.  West End's 10's beat Tomball last night 8-5 to force the championship game.  This group of 10's might be the most talented yet...especially pitching-wise.  They are very deep at pitcher (and really very solid all the way around).  Tomball must be really good to be able to beat them once and score 5 on them the second time around.  Let's hope that it won't be a Tomball sweep over West End at Sectionals!!!!!

WOW TOMBALL BEAT LAMAR NATIONAL, WHICH EVERY YEAR HAS AN INCREDIBLE TEAM AND WAS IN THE WORLD SERIES ON ESPN A COUPLE OF YEARS SO AGO... THEY MUST REALLY BE THE REAL DEAL......

[westend1]

Tomball has lots of hitters, but their pitching is only average.  I expect that they will give up a lot of runs when they run into a strong, deep hitting team.

U NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN... IF TOMBALL KEEPS IT UP THEY MIGHT BE ON TV..LOL

[Bravendndad]

Good for Tomball, but if I recall our little 12year old team from last years Groves National beat a few teams that in the past were pretty unbeliveable as well.

Wait and see at regionals as there will be some pretty tough teams there.

To bad our groves team this year couldnt have played against last years

competition.

Don't forget, as the GNLL 2006 all star team swept the competition at last years sectional tournament, they mercy-ruled the team from Northwest 45, whose league has also enjoyed a tradition of sending teams to the LL World Series and won the American Championship one year.

As history shows, teams like the GNLL 2006 East Texas State Champions don't come around all that often, maybe every 20 years or so, as evidenced by the successes of Port Neches LL in the 60's and Port Arthur OSB LL in the 80's, then Groves in 2006.

More power to whichever team is strong enough to break that cycle and bring the title back to District 32. If Tomball goes on to win State and reaches the regional quarterfinals as Groves did (or goes even further!), they will have shown themselves to be a team deserving of our accolades. It's a significant achievement attainable only by the very best, of course with the ultimate goal being the LL World Series.

Good luck to Tomball, it would be a thrill to see a team from Section 2, East Texas go all the way.

I hope Tomball advances also.  Then I could really see if the televised radar gun is accurate or not.  Our kids faced Tomball three times and I think I saw most of their pitching.  None of them throw near 70, but it seems every team in the LL Series has a couple of kids that throw that hard.  If the gun clocks the Tomball kids throwing 70, I will know for sure that it's bogus.

IDK MAN I DONT THINK ESPN WOULD DO THAT TO US.. I REALLY DO THINK SOEM OF THOSE KIDS THROW 75... THE KYLE CARTER KID FROM LAST YEAR STANDS AT LIKE 5'10 OR 5'11 SO I DONT THINK ITS THAT HARD TO BELIEVE... AND MOST OF THOSE PROBABLY STARTED THROWING A BALL AT LIEK AGE 2..LOL

[westend1]

You might be right.  Come to think of it, a couple of those 12 year olds needed a shave pretty bad last year.  I like the kid from California with the goatee.

Well I watched Teexas West vs Roswell and they say the kid from Texas West was throwing 81 and it looked like he was..

No way.  I think the guns are bogus on ESPN.  We've had some West End kids throwing unbelievable hard...big kids too.  And they are throwing 65-68.  I can't see ANY way there is a kid out there throwing 12-15 MPH harder than them.  And that kid from Groves a year or two ok...K-Rod???  He threw VERY hard as well but I think it was 'only' 68-70.  You might be able to convince me a 12 year old could throw 70-74 but beyond that...I'm not buying it.
