Lubbock, Tx has a real shot at the title. Check out Garrett Williams from Lubbock.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT – Garrett Williams came close to a Little League World Series record on Saturday, but the Little League’s new pitch count rule didn’t let it happen.

Williams recorded the first 17 outs by strikeout against Coon Rapids, Minnesota, but when he struck out Dominique Reff for the second out of the sixth inning, it came on his 88th pitch.

“I really wanted to stay in the game, but I knew I couldn’t because of the new rule,†Williams said.

Williams pitching performance along with two, two-run homers by Tyler Thorne led the Southwest Region champions to a 6-0 win over the Midwest Region champions.

I think almost all of thier pitchers are left handed. Man, to have your top three pitchers be left handed. That's impressive. I haven't seen every US team, but I have seen most of them and I agree Lubbock is the best one.  The Mexico team looks like the front runner on the international side, but I haven't seen all of the teams.  I know Canada has a 1st baseman that the announcers said is 6'2" tall. He was standing next to Mexico player that was like 5'2". I wish I could've put that pic on here.

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
