Great job 'Jackets.  That keeps us in the hunt for the playoffs.  Great job responding to a tough district by a young team.

I know I should know the answer to this, but how many go to the playoffs from each district in 1A?  Coach Young is doing an excellent job with these young men, as I have been told they had to replace 8 of 9 starters from last years team.

top 3 advance to playoff..if I looked at standings correctly we should be in 5th spot at moment.  Not out of hunt yet,  but we will need to make up for our losses in first round to brookeland and broaddus..will also need a little help in other district games as well.. Guess that's what makes hi school baseball so much fun .. It's like a box of chocolates!!  :)

Also we still have 4 starters from last years team, two Srs, two Jrs.   Our freshman boys have stepped up and filled in some gaps. Our new boys have stepped up and put the ball in play and are getting on base and have made some good plays and you can't ask for more than that.  I think I may have written this before, but we have seen every team in the district and although we are at .500 right now, we are capable of beating any team when we show up to play ball.  I can promise you we are not an automatic win for our competitors by any means.  And even if we don't make the playoffs this year, we have a core building block for the years to come.  As long as we stay competitive in our hearts and put it out there on the diamond, we should be ok.  I sure would like to make the playoffs though!!  ;)

And as always.....Fear the Sting!!  :)
