Hardin 15 Warren 6 Final/Friday Round (2)
whsalum replied to GoatHerder's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
A lot of errors would be an understatement.Hardin played a good ball game.With the Warriors you never know which group will show up.Tonight it looked more like the JV.I knew they would have to hit the ball and tonight they never got untracked.Maybe the other squad will show up Tuesday.I hope so or a playoff will slip away. -
Hardin 15 Warren 6 Final/Friday Round (2)
whsalum replied to GoatHerder's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
I see where Hardin beat Deweyville 2-1 on Wednesday.While Swinney pitched a complete game for Warren on Tuesday so both clubs will probably go to their 2nd and 3rd pitchers.Warren will have to crush the ball to win this one.They are capable of doing that.If Parker is well enough to play that will help.I'll pick Warren in this one in another 12-10 battle.Go Warriors -
The best player on Liberty's team couldn't play for HJ this year.I hate to say it but after watching HJ 's returning kids Burrell,Jarvis,Weldon,Payne,Sungren and Fontenot he probably won't play much next year either.At least he will be on a better club,not much emphasis on basketball at Liberty.

***Larry Tidwell Becomes Lamar Ladies HC**
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
This is exactly what you said"you got at least 10 girls around here that could help Lamar".I really like the 2 young ladies from Lumberton they are good high school players.They can go the JUCO route and probably contribute one day at a mid major.We are talking about building Lamar into a tourney class team.I have watched high school girls basketball in this area for more years than I care to admit and we have some good players in this area but we havent had 10 that could contribute at that level in the last 10 years must less this year.Fact is it takes players like Brandi McCain and Teresa Weatherspoon to build those type programs and they don't come along everyday.It will amaze you the way the Montagne will fill up when you put a quality program on the floor whethet they are local or not.Ancelot is a great coach but she would not have used 5 scholarships to get local players.She knows what it takes to win at that level.Give the new guy a chance and we'll see how he does.Set down this weekend and watch LSU and Tenn and you'll see how far he has to go.Go big red!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

After Coach Tidwell get's his club together he has educate the fans.It's clear you don't have a clue.10 local girls make a good high school team,not a D1 contender. -
24AA Predictions for next year.
whsalum replied to D-villefan's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
AISD that was records from this year not predictions for next year.I hope Buna does well but I don't see it.Warren beat them this year by 15 in Buna and by 26 in Warren.EC and Kountze were harder on them than that.Buna is solid in baseball but there basketball club has a long way to go. -

LU should thank their lucky stars that a coach of this caliber would want the job.You dont work as an associate head coach on a staff like the TCU one and not know your business.Everyone thinks Ancelot would have fiiled the coffers with local players and won at the national level.While she is a great coach that wouldn't have happened.There will be some local girls who will play D1 college ball but they are few and far between.Everyone needs to check out LSU,Tenn and North Carolina this week in the tourney and you will see the talent it takes to play at that level.The resume this guy has in recruiting speaks for itself,we need to support him and let him get the ladies program back on track.There is nothing like 10,000 screaming fans in the Montagne whether it be for the men or the women.While I don't know the man personally,I think this was a very good hire.Good luck coach.Go big red. -
24AA Predictions for next year.
whsalum replied to D-villefan's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
I still think this district is gonna be a war every night.Kountze will be good no doubt just not as dominate as this year.EC will be super with Tramain and Vance but they will have to replace Prestons scoring and Eugenes defense and that won't be easy.Warren will be returning a very solid core of players(3 second team all district players and 2 hon mentions).Hardin will have Marsh and Deweyville will have Bland and Jackson.I like my Warriors chances. -
Warren @ Kountze....Who Takes It?

Great job Caleb.Solid outing from everyone.Hope Brody's shoulder isn't serious.Congrats Warriors -
24AA Predictions for next year.
whsalum replied to D-villefan's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
1.EC 11-1 (WON THE TIEBREAKER) 2. KOUNTZE 11-1 (WON THE REGIONAL FINAL AGAINST EC AND STATE) 3.WARREN 7-5 4.HARDIN 5-7 (I THINK THEY SPLIT WITH DVILLE AND BEAT BUNA AND ANAHUAC) 5.NOT SURE THE ORDER OF DEWEYVILLE,ANAHUAC AND BUNA.I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE THREE WON OVER 4 DISTRICT GAMES. -
Warren @ Kountze....Who Takes It?
whsalum replied to WarriorSports's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
If Caleb pitches a complete game Warren wins this one in a close game.If not the same old problems surface again.Does Kountze have lights?Shorter games and darkness help the Warriors.Go Warriors -
High school umps and little leauge umps are 2 completely different things.For years the umps in Tyler county are kids off the local high school teams.There is an occasional grown up that works a game if it's a contest between 2 of the better teams.For the most part the kids do a good job of calling.It always amazed me that the parents that complained the loudest never coached,umped or worked in the concession stands.

24-2A Predictions for next year??
whsalum replied to Bobcatfan4life's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
DP#1 Warren went in to the last game of the year against Buna with a playoff spot on the line.They played EC tough,beat Kountze and gave Deweyville all they could handle.Don't underestimate the Warriors.I'll stick to my earlier statement.EC is the favorite Warren and Deweyville have huge holes to fill at running back.Second and third will be wide open. -
Lazeek,I wasn't implying WOS would cut McCarter loose.I thought he may be ready to coach elsewhere.I don't pretend to know anything about his situation over there.I do know he is an excellent coach.If he is at the helm they will be in the mix.
-
HJ won't rebuild,they'll reload.There is a reason that that good teams show up under the same coaches year after year. 1.HJ 2.Silsbee 3.WOS (if McCarter is still runnin the show)

How do you leave Stephen Moten off this team.The kid made several all tourney teams before district.Playing time went down a little in district,but was a huge factor in Austin.I know this is an all district club but Moten is as good or better than 99% of these players.

**24-2A All-District Team**
whsalum replied to Bobcatfan4life's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Bland made 2nd team.He is a solid player but was inelgible for half the season.I know Bland was the heart and soul of the Deweyville club.I think Rivon also missed some district games and made the first team..Don't know if I've ever seen that before.I dont think these teams were picked as much by stats as they were by grade classifications.I know Sims and McDonald both had stats that were as impressive as several first teamers.That being said I think its good to give senior players recognition.Lord knows the kids from Kountze and EC deserved it.No disgrace in being 2nd team when you have a 1st team like that. -
If you recognize those names you know they could hit their spots.

**24-2A All-District Team**
whsalum replied to Bobcatfan4life's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Sims and McDonald definitely played well enough and had the stats to be 1st teamers.Most of the 1st team selections went to Seniors which is good.Those guys deserve the recognition in there last year.Not a bad player on this list.Congrats guys. -
No I haven't seen Buna's pitchers this year.When I think of dominant pitchers in 1-a and 2-a ball I think of kids like Douglas from Colmesneil,McCabe from Spurger and Beck from Woodville.These kids could throw it in the mid 90's.I know Buna is good and should be the district favorite but if they have anyone throwing in the 90's they have kept him quiet.I was going strictly by scores from previous game and I haven't seen where they have shut anyone out.I think Warren will hit the ball just don't know which group will show up on the defensive side.I still think it will be closer than some folks think.

Anahuac 8 Warren 6 Final/Monday
whsalum replied to warrior_pride18's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Yea Tucker batted for Caleb.I would have led off with Caleb and had Tucker pinch hit for Kirkpatrick or James.But that's easy to say now.The coach is doing a pretty good job he's just a little short handed.I don't think there is a dominate pitcher in the district this year.The bats will have us in every game if the defense plays like they did Monday. -
next years warren warriors
whsalum replied to texasbasketballfan's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
No problem,we're good. -
Caleb probably won't be availabe to pitch so it could be interesting.If Colt can get out of the first several innings it will be close.The defense is pretty strong with Caleb at short.Buna hasn't been blowing people away and I don't think they have dominate pitching.Still they are at home so they will be the favorite but not by much. Buna-7 Warren-5

Anahuac 8 Warren 6 Final/Monday
whsalum replied to warrior_pride18's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
The major difference between the 2005 club and this one isn't attitude it's pitching plain and simple.Wallace and Flores were a good 1-2 punch and they had Reese and Granger in the bull pen.This club doesn't have that luxury.I didn't see the errors the other day just glanced at the book.Lovin Sports must not know much about baseball,Parker and West were already in the game they had just batted.I personally wouldn't have taken Caleb completely out of the lineup with his spot due up 1st in the 7th,he is to good a hitter and is his best middle infielder when not pitching.There are some pretty good young players on this club but they aren't quite ready for varsity ball if your gonna contend for a playoff spot.They will miss Carnley both with the stick and the glove,he could have helped them.I hope they keep hitting the ball,if they do they can make some folks nervous.Go Warriors
