It’s homecoming week for the Yellowjackets in beautiful downtown Chester, Texas!  I believe the parade Saturday starts at 10, and the game will be at 5.  Aubrey Bradley Stadium will be rocking, and covered in purple and gold.  Better show up early if you want a seat.  Looking forward to a great game.

The game is in Evadale 

What’s the score?  Just got in from Chester and saw there was a big crowd.

How ‘bout them Rebels!!!!  Man I read this thread as it developed and it was fun.  I’m all about school pride, and wish the Pirates best of luck the rest of the season.    Sure proud of those Rebels!

Nice win Rebs!!!  A lot of trash-talking and nay-sayers out there.  You just went out there, went to work and took care of things on the field - where it matters!  River Bowl stays put on the Neches and on FM 105.

Cruel sir - cruel.  Oh well, it was sweet while it lasted.

Saw on the scoreboard that the Yellowjackets tossed a shutout!  Way to go Chester!!!!

Nice.....now build a nice turfed baseball stadium out there on the property.

Congratulations to Coach L!  He’ll do a fantastic job, and the boys will love playing for him.

Best of luck in the future Coach.  

Congrats Coach!  BU needs a new, state-of-the-art stadium out there on IH-10.  

Brings me out of retirement to say.....CONGRATS to the Big Sandy Wildcats.  I know Coach Hooker and the intensity, preparation, love and desire he brings to the field everyday.  He brings that attitude everyday and challenges his players to outwork him.  Fantastic season and just could not be more happy for the coaches, team and the entire community.  I have two of my best, lifelong friends who work for Big Sandy and know this is really special for all involved.

I've enjoyed following the forums. Best of luck to all.  Time to log-off and I guess attempt to concentrate on grown-up stuff.  May the site have continued growth.  So long from Chester86 aka Tim Bean.

Let's go Rebs!!!

Let me say I despise the UIL pitch-count.  We had that game 1-0, and with 2 outs in the 7th had to change pitchers because of a stupid rule.  That arbitrary number caused a complete stop in momentum, caused a new pitcher to come in and changed that game.  Now, do not read me wrong - our sophomore that came in is a great young man who does a phenomenal job.  He is a very good pitcher so please don't misconstrue that I am saying the loss is attributable to him.  You win as a team - you lose as a team.  This loss stings because I know we win if we allow our starter to get that final out.  He was cruising, and held them scoreless for 6 2/3rd's.

Haven't talked to the coach specifically - but I'm guessing we're staying with our regular rotation.  Daniel - game 1 / Parker - game 2, and Alex & Tyler in relief and on stand-by for game 3.  But you never know - Coach Williams could always throw a curve and switch things up.

This just in..........

Stand by - we have breaking news........

"Yes, I am being told it IS officially game day for the Evadale Rebels. You are going to want to stay tuned to this site, as SETX Sports will have exclusive updates as they develop."

2 nights and a wake-up!  Let's go Rebs!!!!!

Great news, if you will be unable to attend, but you would like to listen to the games, the series will be broadcast.  You can listen on:

Found this interesting from the THSB pre-season forecasts:

Region IV Top 10 2A Teams
1. Weimar – 9 starters return from a 16-8 Area Finalist Team
2. Refugio – 6 starters return from 26-3 Regional Semi-Finalist Team
3. Thorndale – 8 players return from a 22-8-1 Regional Quarter-Finalist Team
4. Evadale – 6 Players return from 19-6 Area Finalist Team
5. Center Point – 8 players return from 19-7 Regional Quarter-Finalist Team
6. Charlotte – 7 players return from 21-5 Area Finalist Team
7. Flatonia – 5 players return from 29-6 State Champion Team
8. Big Sandy – 4 Starters return from a 28-7-1 Regional Finalist Team
9. Burton – 8 teams return from 13-11 Bi-District Finalist Team
10. Harper – 5 starters return from 17-8-1 Area Finalist team.

Into the Regional Quarter-Final Round, there are eight (8) teams remaining.  THSB did a pretty good job on their pre-season predictions:

Refugio - #1 (THSBCA) / #2 (THSB)

Thorndale - #3 (THSB)

Big Sandy - #4 (THSBCA) / #6 (THSB)

Evadale - #14 (THSB)

Center Point

Flatonia

The only two (2) not predicted, but still in it were:

Mason

Ozona

3 nights and a wake-up before game day!!!!  Let's go Rebs!

Taking it back to the last time Evadale played Thorndale:

Great picture of Coach Williams back in 2010 in there.

4 nights and a wake-up to game day!  Let's go Rebs!!!!

Best of luck to Evadale but I'm taking Thorndale 

In no way do you have to answer, just curious why you have Thorndale?  Do you have some knowledge about their team that leads you to believe they have it?  Again, just curious about the pick. The boys are playing well, and relish the underdog status.  I know they're going to put the work in this week, and Coach Williams & Luna will have them ready.
