I just started this thread to see if anyone has heard of the Texas Ball Brats on here? The reason I ask is that I have only seen one instance of them and that was back in 2008. Y'all do know that they are one of the Colorado bound teams, right?

The Texas Ball Brats are a group that forms a 16U team in SE Texas. I am just a friend of one of the players, but from what I can find, here is this year's list of team members and where they are from:

Tarkington-                          New Caney-                       Dayton-

Destiny Kennedy                   Sadie Evans                       Brittney Morrison
Hannah Jackson                    Cassie Smith
Chelsea Burns                       Jessica Perkins
Shelbi Chambers
Shannon Green
Kendra Caswell
Megan Noel

As for the coaches, I am not sure. They are going to the National Competition this year in Colorado and also won the 8th Annual Fun In The Sun tournament at Pedigo Park in Livingston last year.

It sounds like you have a really awsome team,  Going to the national tournament in Colorado and all,

Here is what I can find for this year:

[list]
[*]Brittney Morrison was 2nd team first base.
[*]Destiny Kennedy was 2nd team short stop.
[*]Megan Noel was an honorable mention.
[/list]

So there are a few on the team who have all-district honors, not many though.

Just came back from Moss Hill. The Ball Brats were panhandling at the caution light. I was conducting some business in the parking lot of Simply Country Cooking, when I noticed them in their orange and black. I swung around and gave them their first donation for the trip to Colorado. Good luck to the Ball Brats on their Colorado adventure.

Does anyone know when the Colorado tournament takes place?
[/quote]Are you talking about the CO Indy or Fireworks tournament or some other tournament? I didn't see, nor did I expect to see, the TX Ball Brats listed on the Indy or Fireworks site. If this is a new team, it is highly unlikely they would have registered for Indy or FW in time (need to register at least 1 year prior to the next year's event) or, most importantly, that there is any credibile history for acceptance, unless you have someone involved with enough clout to pull some strings. Fireworks doesn't mind holding onto your money though after you've been declined!

      Bridgeland vs Tomball

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      Tomball takes wild 2nd game 8-6. Both teams had 3 E's. Tomball gave up a late lead but first game pitching star Sampson nailed a 3 run homer to push Tomball to victory.

      My understanding is that the falsification of records was the crime that he was convicted of… but for it to have been a felony act, it had to have occurred in the furtherance of another criminal act. The prosecution had to first prove that the criminal act of falsifying documents had occurred. IF the jury believed that records were falsified, they were given three possible criminal acts… any one of the three would allow a felony conviction. The instructions stated that for any of the 34 charges, all twelve of the jurors had to agree that records were falsified, but they also had to believe that the records were falsified in the furtherance of at least one other, different crime. Six jurors could believe that Trump was falsifying records to avoid paying taxes… the other six could believe that it was skirt around election laws. The jurors didn’t have to agree on which of the three alleged criminal acts Trump was trying to further by falsifying records, just so long as they agreed that a) the falsification occurred and that it b) occurred to help him cover up another crime (for which he wasn’t charged and never proven to have committed or to have even occurred, for that matter).     Complete pile of crap as a prosecution, in my opinion.     But, we shouldn’t cry if our nominee is the kind of man who bangs porn stars while his wife is at home with the kid, then tries to buy her silence, then breaks the law in regards to falsifying documents to hide the evidence of the coverup.    If you’re wondering why falsifying those records might be illegal, it’s this. Money paid to your attorney for services performed can be deducted from one’s taxes as a legal expense. If the money is paid to a person to settle a personal claim, then the amount would be taxable-the falsification would have been done to avoid taxation. On the other hand, if campaign funds were spent to pay hush money and the records were falsified to hide the violation of campaign laws, then the felony occurred.    The bottom line is this…. They didn’t have enough evidence to indict trump on any of those three things that allegedly happened… but they DID have evidence that the financial records were falsified, so they point at these other acts which can’t be proven to bump the charges on falsification to a felony.    And the reason Trump didn’t take the stand is that he can’t go on the record about whether or not he had sex with Daniels… I’m certain that they can prove it and hang him up on perjury too.    The most delicious irony is this… Trump gave his supporters too much credit for their integrity. He thought they’d turn on him if they found out what he’d done, when in reality they wouldn’t have given a care… Trump’s whole falsifying records and quest for secrecy wasn’t even needed… his followers don’t have moral objections to his sinful acts.
