[quote name="trophyman" post="1379230" timestamp="1361809600"] I only caught 2 endings of the Evadale - Newton game but what I saw was some good pitching from the Evadale squad and some hitting and base running . Evadale will top the district again this year and next! Evadale 18- Newton 0 [/quote] Well it was against Newton...i mean c'mon. I've seen Evadale once this year and they are pretty bad. I watched them get clobbered by a lumberton team that isn't so great either. BS will win district pretty easily..

Hoping for a 21-3A final!

Dang both Franklin's doing work at the plate. Nice

Do you have an obsession with kountzemania or what? The way you know that sport1971 started posting when mania stopped is just plain creepy  :o

Anybody have the tournament schedule? I'd like to get out and watch some games if its not to rainy.

The scoop I just got was that there were tons of dropped third strikes and past balls. Lord we gotta find a catcher!

What happened? An off night for Ethan?

Buna by 10

Is this tonight

[quote name="BigRedMachine" post="1374113" timestamp="1360856149"] Coby Roddy - LCM, probably the best Sophomore pitcher in the area. [/quote] Kid is very good. I used to watch him play all the time when he played with the Machine. He's right up there with the best

[/quote] I did not mean it in an ugly way...if it was taken that way. I am very impressed with these two young pitchers. Hope to have em both play summer ball for us.  It was meant more as positive statement of how impressed I am with these kids. [/quote]oh okay my bad.  Sorry about that 

I realize you're being sarcastic Eagle, but they really don't.

Does it really matter Keith? SMH  ::)

Lol did you have a gun on em? I didn't see one last night. Why don't you go on over to the basketball forum where you belong.

If kountze can find a catcher they'll be just fine. Silsbee scored most of their runs because our catchers can't block or catch  a dadburn thing

[/quote] How do you figure Buna will be over HF? HF beat them all 3 times they played last year and from what I've heard the ole freshman from last year no longer goes to buna (maybe it was just a rumor i could be wrong) and they also lost their number 2 pitcher. HF will have every pitcher from last year returning and an even stronger infield. The top 3 teams for 21-3A will be BC Silsbee and HF as for the order of who gets first second and third that is a toss up. [/quote] That is correct, buna lost the freshman and his older brother to Kountze. They also lost about 3 or 4 other key players due to graduation with not much new talent to fill those spots. I don't think Buna will even be in contention this year. But heck you never know

1. Big Sandy 2. Sabine Pass 3. Evadale/HD

Should be a good scrimmage. Looking forward to it. See y'all there!

Lol sorry bro but this isn't little league anymore. You've got to be able to catch 85+. Unless its over your head or too wide out of reach there is no excuse to let a ball past you, especially if somebody is on base. They've got to learn to block better and have better throws to 2nd. I wasn't knocking anybody, I was just stating an observation I made and its something I'd like to see them work on

Both teams did pitch very well. But for kountze to have two sophomores throwing that well is incredible. Kountze hitting wasn't as good as I'd like to see though. Other than TB the bats were dead. Defensively I feel like catcher is our only weak spot. Im hoping they will work on that a little. But I think it will be a great year for Kountze baseball! Im feeling a possible district championship

86 was last summer. Now he throws 88-89

[quote name="basketball2012" post="1368223" timestamp="1359565872"] ok so he prob hit 85 a couple of time and people wanna say its he is consistent  at 85??? he prob is around 81-83!! When I hear about all of these pitchers throwing in the mid 80's I go watch them and they are sitting at 80-82. LAst year I went to go watch howell because everyone is telling me he was sitting at 88 and I go watch 2 games last yr and he was at 83-85 whole game. If its a jugs gun u take 5-6 mph off, stalker is the most consistent gun. [/quote] I promise you that Ethan Franklin tops out at 88-89 and throws consistent 85-86. Perfect game had him at 86 during the summer and he has been working harder than ever for the past few months and it has paid off. I was a catcher in college and I catch Ethan quite often. I know what upper 80's looks like
