[/quote] Congrats to your son. Why did is decide to change from UH to TT? [/quote] If I were the parent of a child in this situation, I am not sure I'd make those public.  So I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get an answer on that.  Whatever the reasons were, good for Matt and his family to continue to look and make sure they have the right fit for Matt. [/quote] Ok no big deal I was just curious. I understand why some would not not wanna talk about it tho.

Gabby returning.... undfeated in district last year...only loss was to brenham which were 4A state champs.... with another off season... just too much... he will pitch in every hard district game....with their relief back as well... will be tough to beat... [/quote] last time i checked crosby got beat by ce king,barbers hill and got shutout by [size=18pt]GALENA PARK[/size]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote]last time i checked crosby beat barbers hill twice, ce king twice and split with galena park. they finished 2nd in district and kingwood parks only losses in district were to CROSBY. which they swept them.. and was the only team out of 19-4A to advance to area..... and by the way... those losses happened when Gabby did NOT pitch.   the way the schedule is this year... gabby might pitch in every big game.. Gabbys record last year 10-1... only loss was to brenham which won state.... [/quote] last time i checked crosby split with barbers hill and ce king  ;) [/quote]then your check was wrong!!! Crosby beat CE King and BH  in the  BH Tourn !!! Record in 2-1 in favor of Crosby :) [/quote] So now your saying Crosby wasnt undefeated in district like you said before  ;) [/quote] No he said Gabby the returning pitcher was undefeated in district last year.

[quote name="Nephew" post="951694" timestamp="1295539872"] [Hidden Content] He has only been to one perfect game event and that was in june at mckinney [/quote] Sorry they have going to two. The showcase in Brennan in June and the PG WWBA South Qualifier in Round Rock in October where he was clocked at 83. [Hidden Content] The link you posted took me to a blank page. I think the problem is my computer. I will check it when I get home. I never said he couldn't throw 90 I said it is very rare to find a LHP throwing 90 as a JR in highschool. I tend to trust perfect game tho since in my experience it has been pretty accurate when it comes to player evaluations.

I was not talking smack on a kid. Like I said before perfect game has him throwing 83 in October. Now someone has said he jumped to 89 in November. I find that very hard to belive. I don't know where I would go to find the sfa camp results. Can you post a link to the website? BTW JR RHP Dustin Cook from Huffman is verbally committed to Houston. You can commit to a college when you are a jr, and if he is really a LHP throwing 91 he will be picked up very fast.

[quote name="Diamond-J" post="951608" timestamp="1295526746"] While these are not studies a quick "google" pulled up these tidbits: 1. CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL GOVERNING BODY-- "requires tougher standards on composite bats to reduce injuries from hard hit balls--- August 12 2010 2. Little League bans composite bats--DECEMBER 30 2010 3. Composite bats can be dangerous due to one or both of the following conditions: a bat manufactured exceeding specified performance criteria set by respective rule-making bodies is dangerous and, in an issue that is almost unique to composite bats, a bat is dangerous if it is structurally damaged through use or abuse showing cracks or rough edges that may become hazardous. While damaged bats can be a hazard, the central safety concern with composite bats is the speed of balls hit with them. In tests with composite bats and other bats, similarly pitched balls came off composite bats at least 15 percent faster, greatly decreasing reaction times for fielders. I find the last line interesting IF TRUE then 15 % is quite a jump in speed. Read more: Dangerous Composite Bats | eHow.com [Hidden Content] [/quote] [Hidden Content] That is the link to the studies. At the bottom of the page it talks about other reasons the ball goes further off the bat such as weight distribution, differences in swing speed. However the highest speed difference from metal to wood that I have found is 8 mph.

He stay consistant at 90-91 he's gonna dominate if he stays healthy. He has a nasty curve and change up. [/quote] Lefty throwing 91 huh? Don't see that a lot in highschool. What is his full name and where has he decided to play college? [/quote] Funny perfect game has a  Colby Jenkins  from silsbee throwing 83 as of October 2010 and 82 as of June 2010.  Wow so you are saying he gained 7 mph in 4 months  :o.

There have been several studies on the wood versus metal bats issue 1 from 77 1 from 89 and 2 from the 90s all of the bats used in these studies are now illegal in the NCAA ( even before they went to bbcore requirements) mostly because the NCAA went to the besr and the minus 3 rule in an effort to limit the performance of metal bats . The 77 study concluded that on average the ball came off 3.85 mph faster from a metal bat than it did from a wood bat. The 89 study concluded that metal bats did not outperform wood bats. The most recent study whose results were released in 2002 showed that the ball comes off a metal or composite bat anywhere from 2 to 8 mph (depending on which metal or composite bat was used) harder than it does from a wood bat. All of the bats used in these studies are now illegal in an effort to diminish the performance of the bats. So it is safe to say that bats that are legal according to last years standards would have an even smaller difference between wood and metal. The main difference between wood and metal bats is the size of the sweet spot. On a wood bat the sweet spot is a little bigger than a baseball on a besr bat it is about 3 times larger. That is the main reason that metal bats lead to more home runs and a higher batting average. The difference in speed off the bat is not as big as some people think as shown in the studies. The new bbcore standards try to match the performance of a wood bat by shrinking the sweet spot. I have used these new bats and the sweet spot is about the same as it is on a wood bat. However a ball that is squared up on a bbcore bat, besr bat, or wood bat there is little difference. I do not believe it is necessary for high schools to go to wood bats. Every year in the majors pitchers are hit with balls some are seriously injured.  It does not matter if its a metal or wood bat pitchers will still get hit with line drives. Plus you have to think what moving to wood bats would do to high school baseball. The majority of players will not move on to the next level because they simply do not have the talent. These players batting averages would probably drop 100 points. The game will drastically change epically when you consider the dominate pitching that Texas is known for. Also moving to wood bat would increase cost. This may not be that big a problem for some schools, but what about the poor inner city schools. They typically do not have the talent of the suburbs and will most likely break more wood bats. Making the cost higher for the schools that can least afford it. P.S. before someone comes on here and says I don't what its like to have a ball hit at me. I am a pitcher who has been hit so hard with a line drive that I was knocked out.

[quote name="Trigger" post="951289" timestamp="1295472347"] Great!  But all I find is info stating he has changed his verbal commitment; nothing indicates he has signed his letter of intent, yet... [/quote] No one can sign until singing day which is in February. Until then nothing is a done deal, and any player can change their verbal comment as many times as they want.

22-3A 1 Huffman 2/3 Liberty/splendora/tarkington/coldspring

Cole Deberry, Dustin Cook committed to Houston, Tyler West, Austin Listi, and Austin Key from Huffman. The entire Huffman team is pretty much loaded this year.

People keep saying that recruiting is an advantage that open enrollment schools have. Maybe I am wrong but I thought the rule was that no students can participate in extra curricular activities unless they physically live in that diatrict.  So even if a school does have open enrollment the kids still have to live in the district before they can play.

I don't think anyone that would disagree that the quality of education is typically better in private schools than in public. So why if you had the chance to get a scholarship to a private school would you stay at the public level. I hate the private schools that get their players of all over the place are included in national polls. High school sports is about the town and the home grown talent. Its about which area has the best players not who can bring in the most. Letting private schools join the uil will forever destroy the greatness that is Texas high school football. I love that we are one of the only states who's best teams are not private schools. Also the rule for the open enrollment schools is that the players still have to live in the district to play. P.S. since we did we start copying what loserana does anyway.  ;D

The projected district when they were supposed to drop last realingment had them with Huffman, brookshire royal, stradford, and some other teams.

Sorry, I stand corrected.

Wow that new open enrollment thing must be workin out pretty good for LCM. Lol

I don't think anybody said it was a bad year for dfw. They were talking about how the dfw area choked. I guess the teams from that area just can't handle the pressure of a championship game. Lol

I do not belive there was a black started on LT. Idk why, but only .5% are black and 90% are white. Its just the demographics of the school population. On a side note LT indoor pracrice field and the largest high school wieght room in the country.

The same could be said for any 4a team in the area including dayton.

Dfield wins! East TX - 3 West TX - 1 Those west texas boys must have got lost on the way to jerry world. They just don't know which way to go when there are more than two roads to choose from. Lol
