The UIL needs to grant a two-week fall baseball workout, so the boys can stay sharp. 

We need a countdown clock, I am ready for baseball season.

Used to think I'd build the Chesterdome, now the boys go to Evadale so I'd have to build it there. 

How are they looking this year? 

Outstanding!!!!  Congratulations to those young men and their coaches.

I don't know what I had done that was wrong, but I posted this when we got back from the tourney, and it has since been removed.  The boys had a great week battling rain the entire week.  They were the only undefeated team, and it was a bitter pill to have the tourney cancelled with clear skies and in the semi-finals.  Thanks to Coach Morgan Walker, Wes Koch and James Bergeron for a great season.

In the 2A/Below -  Jrs/Below, the red team won 12 - 0.

Not really HS baseball applicable, but funny stuff. [url=[Hidden Content]]

Great win; keep focused and finish them out.

Best of luck to the Rebels.  Hope to get up there and see at least one of the games.

Best of luck to Nederland.  We will be there this weekend for a select tourney and will try to get over there and catch some of the game.

GSF will be on Fox 4 Sports Extra Sunday night at 930.

Congratulations, and I know those boys will always play hard.  Best of luck and continued success.

Boys are looking forward to it.  We have a very young team, and I sure hope to get more involved in playing during the summer.  Looking forward to Thursday and hope the boys pack their bats with them, and leave their errors at home.  2 games left, and gotta keep their minds right and motivated toward the goal.  Best of luck to all our local playoff teams.

Great piece, and best of luck in the playoffs.
