Its seems the talk in 21 3a is about Bridge City, Orangefield, and W.O.S. in the Beaumont Enterprise. In the forums, its all about Silsbees resurgence because of the return of their pitching. HF and HJ have not been mentioned and im sure they probably like it that way. HJ lost their talented pitcher Duplant to Nederland, and HF lost its ace pitcher  Johnson because he graduated last year. Both teams are maturing but it still remains to be seen if they can make some noise for a playoff run this year. With no media attention, pressure, or high expectations, a team playing with a "nothing to lose" attitude could spell danger for the others in the district. Careful not to crown a champion just yet. ;)

good post fourseam.......hf was a couple of pitches away from the playoffs last year, and return plenty with the only signed college player in this district except q.evans of and C. Dishon bc, in kyle markum....with tommy wendling returning along with a very good ss in chapman plus the soph burrell, hf will compete with all teams.....if you know of some kids the board is overlooking at hj or hf post those names of those kids, love to promote them up.

Who will be pitching for these two teams this year

[Fourseam]

Dont know too much about HJ, but the pitching for HF will be the key. Chapman,Wendling, and Levingston will lead the way, with a few underclassmen getting their work too. Chapmans speed has moved him to center field with a very capable Miguez at short. Catcher Markum will anchor this group with a consistent bat and leadership. These above mentioned pitchers will not hit 90 mph as Silsbees squad has been reported to do, but all are from 75-85 and change speeds well. HF returns 7 starters from last year, so experience should be on their side. I will try to keep the forum updated on their records, averages, and scores to hopefully promote these quality young underdogs.  I would also like to see someone with ties to HJ to do the same.  :)
