From what I have seen so far this season, the Bears are stacked 1 thru 9 and have a solid bench of back-up seniors that would be starters on any other team around. Ive seen this happen before, where a kid or two suffers because the class in front of them is loaded with talent; with this being said, to quit is the wrong thing to do :cry: , you only play Highschool ball once in your life "MAKE THE MOST OF IT" !!!!!

Back in 1986 when I first started calling games we were training at a WOS preseason game. I watched Rod Robertson hit a bomb and thought it was huge until Jason Woods hit a ball over the train and into the pasture, the ball is probably still out there because it sunk into the ground and couldn't be found.... :shock:

Sitting behind the plate they all look huge, but there is one that stands out in my mind. Back in 2000 or so there was a big kid that played catcher for LCM, Brandon ''''' and Im to old to remember, anyway he punched a ball over the trees @ LCM, it had to go atleast 500ft.

I will agree, but the teams that are fortunate enough to make the post season might not go too far. I give them maybe two rounds until they have to meet up with Texas City, Brenham or Montgomery.

Ken Loeffler: "There are only two kinds of coaches -- those who have been fired, and those who will be fired." Blanton Collier: "You can accomplish anything you want as long as you don't care who gets the credit for it." Casey Stengel: "Most games are lost, not won."

Looks like Bryan was the class of this Tournament beating #2 Mongomery and #5 Brenham, now thats one hell of a tournament...

I was mainly talking of the Pitchers who can also play other positions at a high level. I agree about the ones you speak of and the LCM kid is Rowlle, I think thats how you spell it, he has one of the best swings in the game and is sure to be a D1 pick next year.

I think having such a talent base can cause a coach to become complacent. I watched my cousin and his TJ team bring home the trophy. I have not seen that combination of talent and coaching since. I have called games in every district and all divisions.

1. Angelle 2. Elhert 3. Harwood 4. Dugas 5. M. Smith 6. Cassidy 7. Ayers 8. Mire 9. Sparks 10. Haymon

How did Mongomery do on the other side ???

I believe that area coaches have enjoyed the luxury of having some of the best talent in the state. We might sit back and ask why hasn't anyone brought home a State Championship in a long time ???

(CBS) As the head baseball coach at Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, Calif., John Emme tries to motivate his players from the side lines. But lately his coaching has put him in the legal spotlight -- he's been sued by an angry parent who claims Emme spoiled his son's chances for big league play. The case centers around student J.D. Martinez, reports CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes. His father claims Emme made Martinez pitch too much. Dr. Marc Martinez says when he threatened to go to the school district with his complaints, “(Emme responded) ‘if you do that I'm going to keep your son from playing college baseball’ -- he actually said ‘I'm going to close the door on J.D. playing baseball in college.’†Martinez sued and pulled his son off the team. The father explains, “We just wanted to hold him accountable for what he was threatening to do: keep J.D. from playing college baseball.†So-called "disappointment lawsuits" have been on the rise for years. From cheerleading and football to basketball and baseball, more and more parents are taking their kids’ coaches to court. Prof. Bob Jarvis of Nova Southeastern University says, “When you look at someone like Lebron James getting $90 million before he's played a single professional game, you can't help as a parent to start to think about, ‘Well, maybe my child can get in on this gravy train.’†Legal experts say the cases normaly succeed in court. But they are having an effect: high schools are finding it harder to recruit coaches, who fear they may be targeted by a disgruntled parent. And coaches like Ryan Curry, a basketball coach at Corona Del Mar, say his job description has already changed. “I think it makes you question whether or not your job is to help high school kids be successful and have a great high school career or it's to help high school kids get into college and have a great college career," he says. J.D. Martinez went on to college, but not as a baseball player. Emme says, “His classmates won a league championship and that's something you cherish forever and unfortunately in this whole deal, really the only victim's him.â€

This is unbelievable Parents suing coaches !!!!
