We (BH ) appreciate that VOP. Ponder has had a rough season with injuries..no doubt about it. He's a gamer though, I imagine that he will make it back. Fortunately, for the kids' sake, they are both juniors and not seniors.

Oops. Sorry my bad. I was told (obviously told incorrectly ) by a parent at the field that CE King won by one.

WOW an All-Star player as a teenager--you must really know your stuff--I did not realize that you were an expert----GO BACK AND READ AND YOU WILL FIND THAT IT WAS NOT THE BASEBALL GUYS THAT BROUGHT UP THE SUBJECT ON THIS BOARD--- IT WAS YOU! That's what I was thinking... :

There were some schedule changes due to Marshall dropping out. In early action, Coldspring defeated LaMarque and C. E. King defeated Dayton. Barbers Hill and Smiley was rained out after 1/2 inning of of play. :(

Jake Ponder broken finger in a cast... out appr. 6 weeks. Jay Burditt had the tip of his finger sliced almost off attempting to bunt. Jay could be back in 3-4 weeks maybe sooner. BH will be fine. Carmona might be the best of the catchers defensively. Garner is solid @ short and Cody Clifton is solid @ second. Ponder's bat will be missed and Burditt's overall athleticism will be missed. BH needs both to back in time to get some work in before the playoffs begin.

I'm with you Diamond-J...strategy on every pitch. I guess you have to know the game to love the game. Even though the strike zone is the same, I would much rather throw to the 8 foot tall guy than the three foot. ;D Baseball= ho-hum. I was an all-star first baseman in Houston as a teenager, so I knew a little about the game. My interest led me to focus more on basketball= exciting, challenging, and more girls came to basketball games............enough said! I take it you are not left-handed... ;D ;D ;D

BK--Fazio, Celeste BH-Hales, Thamm, Silva, Kelley PNG-Harrington......I'm tempted to count Harrington as 2 . ;D WB- Svoda(?)spelling Ned.--Bellows, Sampere Vidor--Hester...before it's done my $$$ is on this kid. Ozen--Lott LCM--?????undecided B. Sterling---Marshall,Marshall,Marshall, Cervanka,Brooks,Mott B.LEE--Mahan May have missed a few..SETexas loaded... Oops..BC..Hicks

That's funny...I was just seeing if we could turn this thread into baseball....Guess it worked. Until now.

That's a nice list. However, PNG was ousted from last years playoffs by Listi and Arnold from Huffman. BH beat Vidor two of three in round 1.

Well said...very nice post.

actually its because i dont see the point of playing a game for 15 min. smart a$$ and since you dont get sarcasim let me say it for you...it was.... No doubt..

Trae Hester of Vidor is certainly one to watch this year.

Barbers Hill Hunter Silva 3 Ross Hales 2 or 3 Alex Rocha 2 Kendall Thamm 1 Tony Carmona 1 Jake Ponder 1

As a pitcher's dad myself, that's certainly the theory he/we have learned..it's pretty effective.

I nominate this post for the classics. LMAO. I'm BH baseball, got rained out , and stumbled upon the basketball forum. Man, did I find did I find a "doozy". IKNOWTHEGAME....I think not. Anyone bashing the HJ basketball staff and program needs to get out more.....or at least start reading the papers.

LOL... Like the username.

Me too. ;D

Great job....Dishon. Keep it up.

BH @ PNG has been cancelled.

Just got word from a BH player that the game has been cancelled.

I agree COOP, it's a great matchup. Unfortunatley, tonight's game will not very indicative of either squad.

For BH, unlikely to see Hales, Thamm, Silva, or Kelley pitch. They all threw complete or very near complete games in the Ewell Jackson tournament over the weekend.....and the BH tournament starts on Thursday. If this one is rained out, I personnaly don't think many from BH would be too heartbroken. ;D

Barbers Hill 11 Kempner 10...Final score. BH goes 4-1 to finish in 3rd place in the Ewell Jackson tournament. Ross Hales and Hunter Silva named to the All-Tournament team.

That is correct, Bellaire 6 Barbers Hill 1 Absolutely no hitting from BH except for the Hales home run. Thamm (0-1) goes the distance for BH. BH is playing the loser of Kempner and Clements @ 4:00.
