[Guest JoesBros]

Lets get this thing going since District starts this week. District Champs? PNG,Nederland,or Vidor? LCM is young but still good? Lumberton the real deal? Lets do this boys!

As I mentioned in another thread, prior to Benoit, Nederland and PNG were a tossup imo for the crown. You can't take a guy that is DIV 1 at 88 and replace. Hester isn"t a one man team over at Vidor but when he's not on the bump they aren't as dominating.

The key will be how LCM and Lumberton play out. Both teams are playoff caliber. Lumberton scored 2 and had 5 hits off a guy last night with as near or even in talent as Hester and Bellow.

A lot of hype going into 20-4A district play. It will be exciting and Lumberton will be a contender to win a playoff spot.  They've shown they are a force after winning against some of the top 3A schools in Orangefield, Bridge City and Cameron Yoe.  They have depth in pitching; 9 solid pitchers.  Three aces are Erickson, Bell and Bingham.  Up and coming soph is Brunson who's pitched very well.  Hughes has also had good performances on the mound.  In the last 4 games Lumberton scored 47 runs with 4 players (Bingham, Erickson, Hughes, Cowart) hitting a total of 9 HRs.  Lumberton's overall record is 10-2 with losses to Kelly and Bridge City.  They have one of the best catchers in Bingham.  The infield is solid and turning DPs.  The outfield is probably their biggest improvement, speedy CF and lead off hitter Lance Pace just eating up everything (even walls).  There's a lot of bright spots up and down the lineup, it's just a much improved team from last year.  It will be interesting to see how they fit in the mix of 20-4A.

Well im happy to see that Lumberton has improved from the past couple of seasons. With them in the mix it should make things a little more interesting for sure. Does anyone have some kind of scouting report on Livingston?
