GSF wins 7 - 6 over SWLA in Lake Charles.  Senior Matthew Moore pitched a complete game for the win.  Junior Luke Lozoya had a great night at the plate, going 4 - 4, with a triple, 2 doubles and a single.  The win puts the Hornets at 12 - 7, and 7 - 1 in ACE play.

So very happy for him and his family.  HJ is getting a phenomenal man, great coach and a strong Christian.

[quote name="Count Coog" post="1391306" timestamp="1365088542"] This is so dumb.  There will be so many schools cheating and students being "homeschooled" that will ruin sports for everyone.  Chester86, I understand that it would be good for small communities like yourself, but for the 3A + it is going to be people trying to play sports and not go to school. [/quote] We live in Bridge City.  Several of my players live in Beaumont, and then the majority live around Silsbee.  If people want to cheat they are going to find a way to do it regardless of the rules.  I will just say everyone on our team are bona-fide home-schooled athletes.  We have come across the "students" who are avoiding grades, or schools because of disciplinary issues.  We simply have standards that are high, and are not willing to lower them to win by cheating so those players have to find somewhere else to go.  I really think this will be a non-issue for public schools and is a lot to do about nothing.

Does the homeschool kids count towards enrollment even though they don't attend that "school"? [/quote] I would think (more like hope) that the UIL would not "punish" the school in this scenerio by moving them to a small 5A. I know when you have students enrolled at alternative school, those students count toward your UIL attendance numbers. It would be very difficult to include Homeschooled students in that count. [/quote] So what makes a 3a/4a borderline school from getting its kids to go home school during the week of snapshot for realignment purposes? [/quote] If your district wants to "cook" the numbers, they are already doing so. Allowing homeschooled students to participate in UIL events will not suddenly legislate morality. Cheaters cheat. [/quote] Excellent point!

We always live with the fear of losing kids.  We are really no different than a small school, and the numbers are always close.  We play with kids from 7th to 12th, and I routinely start 2 - 3 7th/8th graders out of necessity.  Most people will think this is cheesy, but we truly leave it up to the Lord.  As a coach it gets worrisome hoping we have enough kids to participate.  I am not real sure about losing them to ISD's, because I do not quite know what all of the parents will think.  Our organization has grown exponentially over the past several years, and I know there are a lot of home-schoolers out there who do not know about the opportunity.  Hope this answered the question.

Got a message from PhatMac about this thread.  We have schooled our kids the whole way.  Our oldest is now in college, so we have been doing this for about 13 years.  There are two types of home-schooled students: 1)  The dedicated, "called-to it" parents who take it serious, and 2)  The parents who are frustrated with public schooling due to grades, standards, and/or expectations. I had read a bunch about this bill, and have heard from a lot of parents about troubles with school districts.  One mother from the Houston area has petitioned the school, gone before the school board and even hired a lawyer.  This has all been to no avail.  We have formed our own home school athletic organization.  These organizations are really big in the larger metroplexes, as Houston has several large sports teams.  We have even joined a league out of Louisiana that caters to home-school groups and smaller Christian schools.  This gives our kids something to play for, although it would be weird to be Louisiana state champs from Texas.  I am here to answer any questions.  From what I understand the bill has not passed.  I am not sure we would put our boys into school sports, but having that option would definitely be nice.  If there is a question I can't answer I know my wife will be able to.

GSF traveled to Lafayette and lost 5 - 3.  I think we had 7 called 3rd strikes, killing any chance at a come-back. 

Junior Luke Lozoya hit his second HR tonight against Bethel - Jennings, La.

GSF 16 - Bethel Jennings 0.

Good Samaritan Fellowship beat Bethel - Jennings 16 - 0 in five innings.  Daniel Bean (8th) pitched a complete game no-hitter with 10 K's (33 for the season).  Luke Lozoya (11th) hit an in the park HR.  That makes GSF 11 - 5 overall, and 6 - 0 in district. 

Not sure of the dimensions, but I have always liked the field at Evadale.  The big green monster in left field, and it's always in great shape.

GSF traveled to Baton Rouge to play the Baton Rouge Home School Eagles.  The GSF Hornets won 22 - 4, with Junior Conner Stevens getting the win.  He pitched four plus strong innings, giving up 2 hits and striking out 5.  The Hornets play at home Thursday against Bethel Baptist - Jennings at Silsbee LL, with a start time of 5.

Great job Eagles.  Coach Ratcliff is working hard up there.  They have great facilities, host a top-notch tourney and it's nice to see them having some success.  Keep it rolling!

Tidbits helps me with my A-D-D.  A capsule of the week in one place; great stuff.

GSF came back from 15 - 7 to tie it in the seventh inning.  They won it on a walk off hit from senior TC Anderson, scoring David Marsh.  Freshman Shane Standley came in to pitch the final 3 innings and get the win.  That puts GSF 9 - 5 overall, and 4 - 0 in conference.
