The Mason Punchers

Rebs lose game 1, 5-3.  Take 2 Saturday!!!  I saw where Mason and Shiner each have won a game in their series.  Love Mason’s mascot - anyone (without googling)?????

Great season Bobcats!!!

Bottom of the 6th, still 4-3.  Time to get ‘em on - get ‘em over and get ‘em in!!!!

End of the 5th, 4-3 Sabinal.

Well dangit- get after ‘em and take 2.

Congrats Barbers Hill - keep it rolling!

End of 3, good guys have pulled ahead 2-1 (according to my source).  Let’s go Rebs!!!

Update I got was end of 2nd, bad guys up 1-0.

Hoping someone is at the game and can provide some updates.

Let’s go Rebs!!!!  

What the hell is wrong with just a good ol’ American flag?  I saw one of the huge ones flapping in the wind today and thought what a beautiful sight.  The freedom provided by that flag is what allows you to fly whatever flag you want to - ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY.  I just do not get this at all and take it as a slap in the face!

Yes sir, we lived there as did the other family because we were working in Beaumont.  I think Woodville has a starter from Chester, as did Colmesneil.  I retired (and went back to work) and moved back - but all my kids are grown.

Our Woodville boys have played up to expectations. We knew coming into season we should make it this far. We face a uphill challenge in Malakov 5 D1 signees . A challenge the boys look forward to. We are a young team only 3 seniors.  Hopefully coaching will earn their pay and get us to the 5th round. Orange field has the best chance advancing. We beat Rusk earlier in the season. They are average without their ace pitcher. Buna also stands a very good chance of advancing against Cameron.

Dang.....5 D-1’s off any team is tough, let alone a 3-A.   I think y’all have been playing well and anything can happen.  Just gotta get hot at the plate, and get the pitching to do their job.

What happened to those dominant Chester Yellowjacket baseball teams from years past?

Sadly a lot of Chester kids play elsewhere.  There just isn’t a lot of industry or jobs to keep the young couple around who have the kids.  When my boys were at Evadale there were 4 boys on the team who’s parents were from Chester.  They are telling me that we have a good group of boys in junior high, so maybe the numbers will come back.  I think we’ve been to the regional finals 3 times but never made it over the hump.

Round 4 and only 5 schools remain.  Let us know how your match-ups are looking?  How have your teams been traveling (loud and proud)?  You gotta have some thoughts going in......brag on your boys a little bit.  This is a pretty special accomplishment that y’all will never forget.  Oh, and Go Rebs!!!!!

Welcome back Jacob, and the rest of the family.  Happy to have you back in the area.

Barbers Hills, Orangefield, Woodville and Evadale remain - as does Buna (the only team I didn’t mention when I originally posted).  When the season started Buna was on fire, but then cooled down a little bit.  Man did they pick the right time to catch fire.  Best of luck to all our teams remaining in the playoffs.  Pitching is great, and it keeps you in games but you will never win a 0-0 game.  You gotta score runs so spend time working on scenarios, hit-hit and then hit again, and you gotta lay the bunt down when coach calls for it.  Enjoy every minute players AND parents!

Great job Coach Williams and all the Rebels!!!  

How ‘bout them Rebels!!!

Anyone have an update?

Let’s go Rebs!!!!!!

How about Baylor?  I believe, according to one of our posters, they had a snowflake cry-in there after Trump won.

 

Dad, a Baptist preacher, always called Baylor - “Sodom on the Brazos.”  He’s gone now, but that always cracked me up.  The Christian principles that used to dominate the university are hard to find now days.

I read an article yesterday from a “national” news source.  We were always taught growing up that news was supposed to be objective and simply to lay out the FACTS.  This article was dripping with opinions, propaganda and was unabashedly one-sided.  Then I looked at the author’s name and it was of middle-eastern origin.  This was a National article that slammed Israel for defending their God-given country.  Amazing!!!
