whsalum

I don't see how you can return 7 of your top 8 players and not be a lot better.I think the top 3 in this district is gonna be a whole lot closer this coming year.Brey will really have to step the scoring.Kountze will be good but they just had 60+ points a game walk out the door.EC will still be solid with Tramain and Vance but they lost a huge part of their game with Preston and Eugene.Caleb is a good shooting guard but Jacob was a big part of his offensive production and Bland is very good.Not sure what Marsh has coming back to help him so one thing is for sure,this district will be a lot of fun to watch.I still like the Warriors chances.

This one will really hurt the playoff chances and it's one the Warriors definitely should have won.6-0 going in to the 7th you gotta like your chances.It's still all about pitching and defense for the Warriors.Levi West made some super plays in Center and Trey was once again money behind the plate.Kids went to sleep in the 7th and it cost em.Gotta protect the lines in the late innings.Very well played game thru 6 and a lot of fun to watch.

You don't mind if we let em play the games next year before you give em the trophy,do ya 55.

I think Warren will battle EC and Kountze very close next year.Kountze lost Powell,Busby,Haynes and Boykin.EC lost preston and Leday.Warren has almost everyone back.I don't think they will be shooting for 3rd.Hardin and Deweyville will also be pretty solid,this district will once again be very tough.I just think several teams have closed the gap.

It will be tough to get 24 in the district their gonna be in.He will make Deweyville a lot better.There will be a couple of pretty good teams in this district next year that won't make the playoffs.

Travis McBee and Brody Parker from Warren.Both are solid.Parker played well last year(even with a seperated shoulder he suffered on the 1st day of practice).McBee is a returning all district backer

Deweyville will have a hard time replacing Justin Williams.As Warren will replacing Esway.EC gets the top spot,everything else is wide open ;)

They might not should have done that to Dville or beat Hardin but the fact is they did.The most dangerous thing you can do is let a young club get a little confidence.This club has the potential to be very good defensively and they can hit.Buna hasn't been as overpowering as I thought they would be.I am surprised the Warriors are 2-1 in district,but they are so just congratulate em and move on.Go Warriors

Tyler will be solid,but lord it's tough when you lose that many seniors.Big Sandy,HD and Spurger will all be looking for revenge.The oilers have a good coach but its gonna be tough to get over the 500 mark next year.

They have all been playing basketball.Haven't been practicing but about 2 weeks.

He will make them better,no doubt.This district will be brutal again next year.EC returns Tramain and Vance,Kountze will have a new group,Warren returns almost everyone,Hardin will still have Marsh.There won't be any off nights next year.

Gotta give props to my boys from Warren.They have 7 of their top 8 players coming back from a 24-8 club.These kids will stay in the gym this summer and will be a pretty solid club next year.

They'll be fine.Weldon and Payne will step up and Jarvis,Burrell and Sungren are all ready to assume the role.The staff makes a huge difference.

Warren wins this one final was 14-1.Sloan Wilson pitched a complete game.Congrats guys :)

Warren-14 Deweyville-1 Freshman Wilson pitches a 7 inning complete game for the Warriors.Congrats guys ;D ;D ;D

If the knee holds up this will be interesting.Esway can fly.The track team at Warren is a thing of the past unfortunately.They used to field a team every year that could compete with the best of em.It has died a slow and painful death.

Warren sent a busload to the regional tournament last year with Word and B Sims advancing to the the state meet.Word and Carnley are better as a team at this point this year.McBee and P Sims qualified for the regional tourney last year and won a couple of rounds before being eliminated.These 2 are very good athletes that haven't been playing tennis long.They could compete for the other regional berth.Jacobsen and Mitchell and Granger along with Casey Word will make this a pretty solid team.

If he brings his dad there an instant contender ;)

972,Thanks for that post.That's exactly what I was thinking.You just said it in a way that didn't offend anyone.I don't agree with getting the kids ready for college probably 1 in 500 will actually get the chance to play at the next level.

If McCarter is a clown,there are a lot of schools around here that could use a good laugh.The man knows basketball AND fans.I saw the hecklers in action several times this year and the school should be proud.The only fans close at Austin were the bunch from Jarrell,with a clinic or two from the HJ kids they could be legit. ;)

Didn't mean to be rude,just thought it was an odd post.I would rather win playing any style than lose .I thought these forums were all about opinions.I know once you get out of lil dribblers its more about winning than looking good or playing upbeat tempo.

Congrats Lions.After watching all the 2-a games it was clear you were in a class by yourself in Austin.

That may be the dumbest post I have ever read.I am no fan of the stall but I would sure rather have my team win than lose playing an upbeat style.It spreads the floor and forces teams to play man to man defenses which is a lost art these days.Dean Smith ran this at NC for years and I don't think confidence was an issue with MJ.The shot clock would weigh heavily in the favor of the clubs with the best athletes not necesarily the best teams.It would however make for some upbeat games.I just don't think it would be good for the high school game.

Not sure why the staggered district start,but it will benefit EC.They will have their#1 pitcher available.Swinney pitched deep into Tuesdays game and probably won't be available.He will shore up the middle infield but it could get very interesting from a pitching standpoint.Warren will hit the ball and they are at home so they pick up win #2. Warren-14 EC-12

1. Buna 2. Anahuac 3. Deweyville or Warren 4. EC
