What happened to wb this year? i figured they would have made it to the playoffs. I guess there is always next year.

As with most things, it was a combination of things for the Bruins this year. As predicted, they hit the ball very well (.330 as a team in a very tough district) but, as predicted, their pitching was a thin. When Murphy (4-0 at the time) was unable to pitch due to shoulder problems, this caught up to WB (ERA in district of nearly 5.00).

Over a 4 day period, the turned a 9-3 lead in the 7th to a 10-9 loss to Kingwood and followed it with a 'hangover' 8-6 loss to Spring. That was simply too much for WB to overcome in the always competitive 22-5A race.

Next year should be interesting with re-districing (losing the 2 Spring schools but picking up the new Humble/KW school and Channelview). The Bruins return the nucleus of this year's team (the significant loss is 1B John Michael Falgout) including Ferguson, Serna, Murphy and Armstrong. The pitching staff returns their 'top 3' in Serna, Svoboda and Murphy. They will need to find some more pitching and hope to stay injury free.

Thanks just wondering!
