Hickman pitched for Woodville Twine pitched for Hemphille Hickman had 15Ks  Twine had 11Ks  Awsome pitchers Duel , Both were bringing the GAS.

congrats to BC on the win wether you guys realize it or not, you set the standard for how baseball is to be played. you are where everyone else wants to be. Keep turning out great teams and players.

woodvilles pitchers name is Torin Hickman

Woodville is still not healthy starting pitcher only gave a glimps of how good he really is. throws quite a bit harder than tonight.  and his bat is even better than his arm. playing with a fracture in his back. 

woodville is hurting right now 2 shoulder surgeries 1 hamstring and 1 back injury.

injury bug has bitten woodville again. will not be at their best but should compete well.

This is Warrens year. These kids have been preparing for this year since they were 5 yrs old. Buna will be lucky if they are not run ruled. Warren is legit,dont know why they arent playing a tougher schedule.Kids can play on a much higher level than 2A.Coach shouldnt be scared because the kids sure arent.

I know there is lots of second guessing in Kountze. could anything have been done to prevent a second round loss. did football get in the way? This was one of the better teams to come through Kountze in a while. what happened.

The score was getting out of hand when they pulled him in the third.

The main thing working for Kelley is they have a Top notch Coach in Jimmy Neal

Lets be clear there are 3 things college coaches and scouts are looking for #1 is velocity #2 is Bat  speed #3 is Base path speed 7.0 60 or less. You will be recruited on these factors alone. most of the kids that have these tools simply are not seen by anyone other than their highschool coaches.

Yates 100  Kountze 60  Yes size and speed matter.

Both kids were sitting at 88-90 last year and I hear both have increased their long toss from goal line to goal line to goal post to goal post.

Congrats great player.

Both Twine and Hickman was getting it up near that last year another year makes a difference.

gonna be fun this year. Will get to see a couple of pitchers throw in the low to mid 90s some nasty junk ballers and some unexpected up and comers. 

I think a lot of people are over looking Hemphill. They will contend for the district championship. They only lost 2 seniors from last years squad. Twine will probably share MVP with Hickman. Heard also Twine is sitting above 90 with his fastball. Everyone in this dist struggles with velocity. Pitching will win this district.   

Newton made a great run at state, But once again how many teams from east texas are in the title game. This area used to be the most highly recruited area for college and professional atheletes. What has happened. I believe the athletes are still here, see to many in the professional ranks. What is the problem? As one poster noted earlier he would like to see certain teams fail. Why? Sadly that is the attitude of many highschool coaches. Is this the type of coach you want on your field. If you do what everyone else does you get what everyone else gets.

Money does play a roll in a schools ability to win, but mostly it is attitude. The community the school administration coaches and the parents of the kids. You can go to the UIL Football archives and look up the past state champions as far back as you like most all are from central northeast texas and west texas. When you do get one from east texas it is the same team every time. newton, yes their are a few exceptions. What is the problem when schools turn out college bound athletes and cant win.       

I think reality has set in in woodville. will be very few fans in the stands.

Woodville will struggle to many injuries that require surgery Daniels and Hickman Shoulder Surgery.

Great job by the Warren coaching staff. A lot of people from Woodville saw this coming. 5-3 defence is perfect for shutting wdv down. The defensive line was great for warren they knew exactly what to do to cause the fumbles. warren also ran the wishbone to perfection against a weak defensive front. great game plan kids played hard and coaches are making a difference in Warren. Congratulations to everyone!

Why run the score up? What do you get from beating up your little Brother? Should have done that earlier in the season. :-\

Congrats to Kirbyville on the win. They were prepared. Major disappointment in Woodville.

I am not saying that it will get ugly. I am just saying that woodville is loaded with athletic kids. All spring long week after week college coaches were watching 3 to 4 kids work out in spring drills. From both small and large schools. IF players play and coaches coach to their potential it could get ugly. Big IF.
