Will Barber's Hill fall off in 09'

[MAXIMUS]

Who is in the district this year?

[Guest rambleonus]

Kingwood Park replaces Huffman.  I hear BH lost 4 D1 pitchers.  Not sure what their JV team was like.  If anyones know their JV record, please pass it on.

Barbers Hill lost all of their starting pitchers, Kendall Thamm (Angelina), Ross Hales ( Tex A&M ), Hunter Silva ( San Jac ), and Jonathan Kelley ( Galevston ) . All of these kids drew interest from MLB scouts and D1s. They will be tough to replace. With that said, I still think BH competes for the district title. They have several arms that have waited their turn because of the guys that were in front of them. Starting catcher ( THSWA hon-mention All State ) Jake Ponder returns, starting 1B Alex Rocha ( drawing interest from D1s ), starting 2b Cody Clifton ( district new-comer of the year last year ) returns, along with starting ss Tony Carmona. 2/3's of the OF also returns. Look for pitching to come from Rocha, Jay Burditt, Carmona, Matt Peterson, and junior Michael Bounds. Strong hitting Kolby Henscey should fill up one of the outfield spots.

Hopefully Kpark will compete.  Unfortunatly I see them going 0fer.  There is no way they can play against real 4A teams with only 3 classes.

I think K Park will be competitive and surprise some teams.

Barbers Hill JV record was 19-1-1. The loss and tie came when they were experimenting with kids on varsity.

Barbers Hill lost a ton of pitching. We are in our first year, but should be able to compete. Our lack of quality depth could be our only downfall.  We have 3-4 solid starting pitchers, but only one of those has any varsity experience. I think our coaching can match anyone in the area. We have played well this Fall and everyone should be healthy for Spring.

That being said, we'll just have to wait and see.

Kingwood Park will compete but Barbers Hill will still be the team to beat.

Hey, Falcon..check your pm's and call me. I need info. on Henk.

[Guest patriot117]

Do not count out the GCM Patriots.  Lots of talent 1-9.  The only thing missing is depth.  Starting pitching will match up with anyone in the district. I'd be very surprised if they were not in the running come playoff time.

[Guest rambleonus]

KPark finished 11-1 last year in 22-3a.  Winning the district with Fresh and Sophes.  But that was in 3a.  I think they will struggle in 4a this year.

Patriot,

Who will be the starting pitchers for Goose Creek ?

[Guest patriot117]

Cody Butler, LH, Jr.  Pitched some for RSS varsity in 2008

Mason Ball, RH, Jr.  Pitched well this summer.

Oracio Rodriguez, RH, Jr.  Played for RSS JV in 2008.

Price Jacobs, RH, Soph.  Played for RSS JV in 2008.

Josh Stuart, RH, Soph. Pitched well this summer.

Chance Czerwonka, RH, Fresh. 

There are others, but these are the ones who stand out right now. I think Butler, Jacobs, and Czerwonka will be the "go to" guys when it counts.

Crosby is bringing back 7 starters which happen to be the top 7 in the batting order.

They will be stacked with bats all the way down the line up with a solid pitching staff.

They will win the district in a close race with BH.

No not at all. Last year's team underachieved tremendously with the pitching staff they had. I know they lost an unbelievable high school pitching staff from last year but the hitting as a team was not very good. I believe they do have a few quality arms that will pitch very well and 3 others that will pitch well enough to keep them in games. I do think the hitting and the defense will be much improved from last year's team. I can see this team going at least 2 to 3 rounds deep into the playoffs based on the hitting and defense alone. If they get a little more from their #4-#6 pitchers than expected, this team could go very deep into the playoffs.
