RSS will be the 4th place team.

Started at 4. GCM's Prom is tonight.

Pretty sure they started at 4. Maybe 5. Sterling's Prom is tonight.

One point not addressed was the ability of the university to change the amount (%) of the scholarship year to year, as well as withdraw the scholarship completely. [/quote] Pretty Sure the Article did: [quote]And once that player is in his freshman year of college, the pressure does not ease. Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis, meaning that each season becomes an audition to get tuition money for the following year. Landry, who played at Texas Tech before coaching at Bridge City, said a mixture of grades, behavior and performance factor into whether a scholarship will be renewed, and be renewed at the same amount. "My roommate (at Tech) Shaun Larkin, who was an All-American, got his scholarship taken away going into his senior year and he transferred. He had no leverage, the school has all the leverage," Landry said. [/quote] [/quote] Yes, I guess it did. I must have over-looked that part. My apologies.

Nice article. One point not addressed was the ability of the university to change the amount (%) of the scholarship year to year, as well as withdraw the scholarship completely. In most cases your scholarship tends to go down the longer you are in school. In other words, they need the $$ for the new recruits. It's a cut-throat business. I highly recommend that any aspiring college athlete get their academic house in order. There is much more money available to you in that area.

[quote name="espn2" post="1397089" timestamp="1366721812"] What are the tie breaker scenarios with these two teams? Isn't WB a game back? [/quote] Yes. RSS won the first game 11-1. WB would have to win to force a one game Play-in game. You should always want to play baseball on prom night. It usually means you're still in the hunt for a State Championship. You can dance and party any time.

Rangers. They have enough pitching to win what basically becomes a one game playoff.

You just can not pitch in spikes on the turtle mounds. In that case, any "flats" will work. Baseball Express has several styles of baseball "flats".

With the field play turf, I do not think turf shoes are useful. Probably the opposite.

Holy shot. Too funny. :D

Final (8) CV.  2 LP.  3

Final KP.    9 CHS.  7

Met them at a UIL Accounting contest. Not shocked at all with them going to Rice. Congrats to all involved. Two fine young men.

Ags lose in 11 last night to Sam Houston. Sam Houston playing pretty well of late. Rice may be ranked, but they are way down from previous years. They just do not have the front line pitching. It will be interesting to see how much longer Graham stays on board. The guy at Sam will probably be next in line. Baseball in the state in general is down this year. With so many programs, I think the talent is being spread too thin.

Deer Park clinches at least a co-championship. If they beat Channelview on Friday, they are outright champs. Happy for Coach Rupp on his program. He's a great coach and a good friend. He has been a very good sounding board and is very supportative.

Final Ball.  3 GCM.  2 GCM falls into 2nd place and has lost 2 of their last 3 games.

[quote name="knows2much" post="1394802" timestamp="1366134087"] [quote author=BigCountry66 link=topic=111173.msg1394786#msg1394786 date=1366130990] I personally like having 4 teams from a district make the playoffs. I like that they get to experience the playoff environment and get to match up with a really good team from another district.  Seeing a smaller school barely get in the playoffs and then have the opportunity to upset a really good team in the first round is brings some extra excitement to that program. [b] BUT, I don't think you should get in with a sub-.500 record.  IMO, if a district only had 3 teams with a winning record, then you should just give the #1 seed from the neighboring district a first round bye.  Just a thought[/b]. [/quote] Ok.  Let's say that you have a 5 team district, and the district champion wins every district game but lost every preseason game.  That would make you 4-6 and the district champion.  So that team doesn't deserve to get in because they are sub-500? It is possible for that to happen you know [/quote] Then this sub .500 team would not be excluded because they are the District Champion. For the most part, this example is the exception and not the norm. I like the top 2 teams in each district advancing.

Maybe, but at least they feel better about themselves. Isn't that what athletics is about? Feeling good.

No wonder none of you people have responded to my friend requests.

I believe it's determined by:  Paper, Rock, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

[quote name="MrUmp1" post="1394478" timestamp="1366044959"] They flip a coin to determine who gets to call the toss......... think about it...........  wait..........  yeah [/quote] That's what I was thinking, but who calls that one? I could not remember.

Coin flip in the early rounds if coaches can not agree. State Tournament is single game. [Hidden Content]
