[quote name="sportsfan2020" post="1424314" timestamp="1376525042"] Keith Stone, you should try the Sundevils.  They must be desperate for kids because their coaches are calling kids that are already on teams.  Stay Classy. [/quote] No thanks. I would hate for my kid to get a scholarship one day, and then have the credit taken by them. The guy that runs that organization is known for showing up to other teams tryouts and trying to take players. Would not surprise me one bit if he was calling kids that are committed to other teams. We will be playing with a very reputable organization out of Houston, got the phone call yesterday. My boy is excited to play for the Banditos.

My son has had lots of interest from several 14u teams. However, I would like to keep him in this age group.  IMO this is the team for him.  He could make this team better than it already is.  Pitches at 62mph, with a nasty split finger, and drop ball (with great control, he's been throwin them since he was 9).  He didn't hit any home runs this year, but he was focusing on hitting line drives in the gaps. I know he has power, cause he drops bombs when we go to the field and hit. He is sound defensively at 1st base.  He has been doing the Tom Emanski videos since he was 6, and they are really starting to pay off.  Great all around player, and from what I have seen, prob a top 5 player in the area for his age.

Did you get my email?  I would like to set up a tryout if possible.

Can you explain the 3 year varsity project?

[/quote] Nice!!  If that were the case, I wouldn't worry about then. Heck I wouldn't even want to play, if we weren't there to win.

Leave coaching to the coaches, and they'll leave being a momma to the mommas. The first problem is, every momma thinks there kid is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's all stars, coaches are gonna do what is best for the team to advance. In the words of the great Herm Edwards, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME".

[/quote] If your kids sucks then Winning at 10 and getting that 1st trophy in LL trumps all including your kids arm. If your kid is going to the next level as in Div I / Pro baseball then winning at 17 isn't really that important. [/quote] Wow!

[quote name="Numberoneonly" post="1399537" timestamp="1367361468"] 1or2 I must have misread something ,I've looked and looked never seen a claim either to that statement......just must be a negative statement on his part.oh!may I be invited for coffee too?and afterwards I know someone will be typing with his elbows....lol... ;) jk. [/quote] Ok tough guy  :o

[quote name="Sport1971!" post="1399493" timestamp="1367353267"] Ok kieth...let's be friends, lol...I have meant no disrespect to anyone with any comment...so for the record I think my son the lefty and coach franklins son the righty are special kids and have a bright future. If I have offended anyone due to my excitement than I apologize and if my support was taken as self promoting than please forgive me...was not intended to be taken that way! But I would appreciate it if you would not come across with derogatory statements about any player on this forum. If its a problem with me than address me...we can always go have a cup of coffee somewhere and talk about it in detail. Once again sorry if I offended you or anyone else. Oh and thanks for recognizing they do have ability.  GO KOUNTZE LIONS! [/quote] Derogatory statement?  Where?

Not a hater of Kountze. Maybe a hater of people who self promote their kid all year long.  I do actually think Kountze is pretty good, and should make a run next year, or the year after, when the "lefty and righty" are seniors. I think it's a couple years early for people to say they are the best 1, 2 punch in the area.

Kountze easily wins this. In fact, I think they win state.  I mean, they have the righty and the lefty, and it doesn't matter who you choose.  ;)

Which one did y'all get, the righty or the lefty?

[quote name="Bulldog Dad" post="1397555" timestamp="1366817948"] Normal starters are as follows: D. Faulk - P - Sr.- Bridge City (Marion Military Academy, AL) S. Finn - C - Jr. - Port Neches D. Swisher - 1B - Sr. - Beaumont H. Sims - 2B - So. - Beaumont J. Rice - 3B - Sr. - Nederland T. Brimberry - SS - Sr. - HJ C. Carr - OF - Sr. - Beaumont K. Walker - OF - Jr. - HJ T. Fobbs - OF - Jr. - Beaumont Most of these guys play multiple positions... Depending on who is pitching determines where these guys will play on any given day... But this is their #1 lineup. [/quote] I thought Blake McKillip played on this team also?

[quote name="CATS80" post="1394682" timestamp="1366111109"] I would think Silsbee to go at this game more as a game to work on things needing to be worked on . Rather than a game to try and win. I would also think that LH could possibly be doing the same. I wouldnt look to much in who comes out the winner in this game. Rather look at what Silsbee gains from this game [/quote] Are you trying to make excuses already?
