Kirbyville Baseball

Word on the street is Aaron Hazlewood is returning to the diamond for the Cats!  The year they made the 3A playoffs he was their leadoff hitter .400 and starting catching.  This could make the Cats tougher to deal with in their drop down to 2A.  Hazlewood leading off with Musgrove batting 3 hole???  What's the word in their district?

[jackhammer]

Could #1 Buna and Kirbyville square off in the playoffs???  If so, what round?  I have a feeling Kirbyville is gonna make some noise this year in baseball!!!!!

[Lefty99]

Haven't heard that.  Would be a great asset if he does play...

[aTmfan06]

[Aggie_Fan]

Kirbyville beat kountze last year actually

[aTmfan06]

Ok you may be right, but in the first place i never said that we would beat them! I just said id see how good they were.

[jackhammer]

I'm just going off of last year when Kirbyville DID beat Kountze and while Kountze may be better, Kirbyville is a WHOLE LOT BETTER than last year.  Anyway, nothing serious just a little fun forum smack talk.  8)

Why would Newton have been a problem anyway?  This ain't football or basketball!   

[aTmfan06]

Go Wildcats!!!

[McLovin]

Kirbyville won't make any disruptions past the first round.

[kvillefan1992]

Never count out those Wildcats!!! This is a new year and some of the players have even gone to private coaching to help out. I know some are in Sam Moore's program over in Bridge City. So you never know..Wildcats just might surprise you all!!!

INteresting to note that some players have gone to outside coaching and instructions.  This after 3 or 4 players were disciplined for this very same thing last year.  Don't get me wrong, I think it is a good thing as long as the instructor has a proven record.  I wouldn't want our young Cats to be getting help from an old, drunk uncle.

You gonna make the playoffs before you can win a game in the playoffs! Alot of teams better be careful they might get their rears handed to em!

Musgrove doesn't go to an outside coach.  He let's his coaches coach him.  It's called trusting the system. 

[McLovin]

There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with using outside help!  Most coaches only take so much time on certain things (batting, pitching), and to go on your own time and have someone help only betters you and your team.

I agree, but only to the point that the "outside" coach doesn't go against his high school coach's teachings.  Correct?  If that's the case, then I'm all for it!

[Lefty99]

It's in the same sense as sending your kid to a tutor to help them learn a certain subject...as long as it's in the same guidelines.

the system doesnt always work for all kids .. Musgrove would be great on any team no matter who the coach was he is a natural

[hitman009]

this team is starting to come together.  They are listening to their coaches, praticing hard, and are building confidence every day.  I thing they can go deep in playoffs if not all the way.

Depends on who the coach was.  Ol' chinese proverb.. "Many a coach can screw up even the most naturalist of players."

You're right though about the system.  That's probably why the past couple of teams at Kirbyville haven't been very productive.  Kids not working by the system.  Too many outside interferences.  The kids this year seem to be trusting the system pretty well.  I would say they have all "bought in" to what's going on.  I've watched them a couple of times this year.  It's a different team... they actually act like a T - E - A - M.  That's refreshing to see.  Don't see any egos out there in the couple of games I've seen.

I think a main reason for the success is this is finally a group of kids that have had good coaching from freshman year up.  KV Coach came in to a system that had less than

stellar coaching for a couple of years.  No batting practice to speak of at the varsity level, and none for the freshman and JV.  These kids have practiced with the varsity at hitting, throwing, fielding, every aspect of the game.  Good luck to the Cats and Coach Lane.
