[nedball#1]

Anybody got any thoughts about 22-4A predicts? And who the stars will be?

[KFDM COOP]

Ozen will always be good. Nederland with the new Coach will start making some noise.

I hear they have Senior Lefty this year with a wicked curve ball and a fastball with pretty good movement.

How does HI look this year?

[TheCardinalFan]

6 of the 9 starters last year where seniors, but we had 4 Freshman that had several at bats and are ready to take a leading role this year. We lost 1 pitcher, but will be returning 3, with a couple more young guys to back them up. I think Baseball will be our best sport this year with the District re-alignments. It should be interesting.

[KFDM COOP]

Going to be fun.

Is this a basketballball or a baseball thread?

[KFDM COOP]

Basketball

[TheCardinalFan]

Sorry about that Coop, wrong thread to be talkking about baseball. The HI basketball team will have a very tough year this year. With West HArdin droping down to 1A, they will have a very good chance of winning the district. Spurger will be very tough as will Hull-Daisetta, Evadale & Sabine Pass. The Cardinals will be in a rebuilding stage this year in basketball also. It will still be fun to watch.

Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can remember back in the day HI having some great Basketball teams.

Yeah, we had some fundamentally sound teams ans a few outstanding players. We just didnt have enough to go deep into the playoffs. The Lady Cardinals made a few runs in the playoffs in the mid to late 80's & 90's, but just couldn't get to the Regional tournament. Atleast not sense the late 60's win they won 2 State Championships. In 1978 the Cardinals won Didtrict & went to the regional tournament. Then there was a 10 year dry spell for the guys until 1988 when we won District again, but lost in Bi-District. Went to the playoffs a few more times, but out in the first round.

FYI: Susan Smith played for the Lady Cardinals on the State Championship Teams and was fortunate to be able to Coach & lead the Westfield Mustang Girls to a 5A State Championship a few years ago. That is just a little High Island History.
