i was told that Proctor is starting on the mound for Kelly tonight.  It should be fun to watch.  And yes, this Thursday Coach Biggio and his son will be at Kelly at 7.  Cavin is commited to Norte Dame.  There were a lot of MLB scouts at the game in Houston and Proctor created a buzz with his opposite field homerun.  I was told the scouts were there to see Cavin and the pitcher for St. Thomas.

If Houston is considered the area, St. Pius is playing at Kelly tonight at 6.  Kohl Stewart, A&M quarterback signee, is pitching for Pius.  As of this morning, he is projected to be the number 8 pick in the next major league draft.  I've heard some have him as a top 5 pick.  Reportedly, his fastball was clocked at 99 mph in a bullpen workout for scouts last week. We have been told he is pitching tonight and there will be a lot of major league scouts in attendence.  Come check him out if you got nothing else going on.

Kelly defeated Concordia Lutheran 8-5.  Michael Hayes pitched a complete game for the victory.  Kelly is now 1-2 in district.

Kelly plays San Antonio St. Anthony tonight at 8:30 and if they win will play the winner between El Paso Cathedral and Plano John Paul II tomorrow at 1:30.  All games are at College Station HS.  Thanks.

I have never been a big fan of the spread offense, but we run it every time we have a lead in the 4th quarter. Kelly finished 2nd in district based on point differential with St. Thomas.  Kelly's first playoff game will be Friday night at 8:30 against Austin St. Michaels at College Station HS.  If Kelly wins they will play at 1:30 Saturday afternoon at College Station HS.

Kelly was ahead from start to finish in this one, holding a 26-20 lead at the half and extending that to 40-27 by the end of the 3rd.  Thomas only made 2 3's the entire game in contrast to the game in Houston where it seemed like every 3 they shot went in in the 2nd half.  Good team defense by Kelly and bad shoting by Thomas.  Leading scorers for Kelly were Cam Frank (12), Thomas Falgout (11) and Shad Wise (10).  Falgout was also huge on the defensive boards.  Kelly finishes district 3-3 and tied with Thomas.  Both teams make the playoffs starting next Friday in College Station.  There were rumors after the game that the two teams would play again next Tuesday to break the tie for 2nd and 3rd place in district.  Hopefully they decided to flip a coin, but supposedly the Thomas coach wanted to play.

St. Pius defeated Concordia 48-41 last night.  So Pius wins the district at 4-2.  If Kelly win tonight against St. Thomas by +6, Kelly finishes 2nd at 3-3.  If Kelly win by -6, Kelly finishes 3rd due to losing the tie breaker with Thomas who would also be 3-3.  A loss by Kelly and they are out of the playoffs.  Should be a very good game.  Come support a local team as they fight to make the playoffs.

Yes.  The Kelly vs. St. Thomas game has been moved to Friday at 7 at Kelly.  There shouldn't be to many boys games Friday night so come out and support a local team.

The bigger the crowd the better.  And this should be a really good game between two very good teams that don't like each other.  Kelly will be fighting for their playoffs lives and need all the support they can get.  Come early, be loud and help support a local team trying to secure a playoff spot.

St. Pius beat St. Thomas 69-51 today.  Pius and Thomas are 3-2 and Kelly and Concordia are 2-3.  If Pius beats Concordia Tuesday, they will win district.  If Concordia beats Pius and Kelly beats Thomas then all four teams will be 3-3.  So far no one has won a road game in district, but I think Pius will beat Concordia.  That means if Kelly can beat Thomas by +6 Kelly will get 2nd in district.  If Kelly wins but by -6 they get 3rd.  A Kelly loss and they finish out of the playoffs.

The teams Kelly has lost to (The Village, St. Thomas, St. Pius and Concordia) would probably beat them all except Kountze and even Kountze would have their hands full with The Village.  I have never commented about the rankings other than to say that the teams we play are very good.

If Kelly loses to Thomas, the only way they make the playoffs as the 3rd place team would be if Pius loses their two remaining games and both teams end up 2-4.  Kelly has the tie breaker on Pius.  But I think Pius will beat Thomas tonight.  Kelly has to win against Thomas and I can't think of a scenario where Kelly would win district.  Kelly most likely ends up second or third.  If Pius beats Thomas and Kelly beats Thomas and then Concordia beats Pius I think Concordia would win district because they already have the tie breakers on Kelly and Thomas and could get it on Pius if they win by +5.  All 4 teams would be 3-3 and Concordia would have tie breakers on everyone.  Kelly would get second by having the tie breaker on Pius and Thomas if they beat Thomas +6.  Kelly gets third if they beat Thomas but by less than 6.  Clear as mud.

Kelly was down 23-15 at halftime, cut the lead to 1 with the ball in the 3rd qtr but could never take the lead.  Kelly got back down by about 7 or 8 and could never really get much closer than that.  Kelly now is 2-3 in district with a home game against St. Thomas next Tuesday. Leading scorers for Kelly were Thomas Falgout with 12 and Nigel Barber with 11.

People don't understand that the teams in our district are producing D1 talent every year.  Last year a kid from St. Thomas signed with Stanford.  A kid from St. Pius went to either San Diago or San Diago State, I can't remember which.  And the big kid from Houston Christian I had heard was offered by Pepperdine, but I'm not sure where he went.  There may have been one or two others that went D1 as well.  I'm not really sure about this years group, although I think the D1 talent in the district this year is mainly underclassmen. We might have had more players in our district sign with D1 schools than this area produced last year.  We are not playing teams full of scrubs.  We are playing kids that play basketball year round and a lot of them play year round together as a team.  This is the first team we have had in three years that is able to compete.

Justsaying - Kelly has not played HJ this year, so I'm not sure where you got that.  colliecw - As far as falling in the rankings, I never even mentioned the rankings and I understand when you lose you are going to fall.  I am responding to the comment that there will now be a common opponent between Kelly and EC.  I was just pointing out that there are already common opponents.  One thing I am sure of is that the teams we play in our district are much better than the competition EC faces in their district.  Every team in our district is good.  There are no easy games.
