They may say it only affects the "contact speed off the bat", but this coincides with ball travel. You won't see nearly the amount of collegiate homeruns this year, that I can guarantee you AJ.

Quite a harsh statement from a fellow bear eh? I believe Jake DH'd and played the field quite a bit last year for a good team. So yes, I take it he can throw now. From what I heard, he signed to play 3rd for Little Rock. It seems like people have never gotten off this kid's back. Either that, or it's jealousy. Geez

From what I heard, he chose this mid-major over some big-time programs (TCU,LSU,SHSU etc.) I wonder why he decided to ink with a smaller school?

Former "Battlin' Bear" Jake Rowell has signed to play for the University of Arkansas Little-Rock next year. Congratulations to Jake and his family. He was such a hard worker and fun player to watch in high school. I wish him the best of luck.

Could turn out to be pretty salty. They have a very experienced team, and I would expect Griff to have some underclassmen step up. I think their achilles heel will be if they decide to play as one, functional unit. If they do this, the sky could be the limit for these boys.

I thought Rowell was slated to be the starter at 3rd? What happened?

Whoa Whoa Whoa. Who disgarees that Coach Griff doesn't play his best players? And just because your son didn't play like you thought he should, need not apply.

LCM is one of the few schools that does NOT involve politics. Coach Griff puts his best 9 on the field, night in and night out. That's probably a good explanation for his teams success.

Skills. . you are the epitomy of idiocracy. What's the matter "cuz"? You don't know what that means? Get your head in a book and off these message boards because you're damaging its' reputation. A collective "thank you" from us all

What I don't understand "DaBears", is that you're always downgrading the Bears. If you REALLY are from Little-Cypress, respresent with some pride and class, otherwise. . . STICK IT! By the way, I think it's time for a new name because you're definitely no Mike Ditka. Have a clue man. .

I'm aware that these were scrimmages. Just stating the outcome. 5A vs. 4A really means nothing. The team that makes the routine plays and throws strikes will win 95% of the time at the high school level. Do you agree MIF?

I agree with Eagle, 5A vs. 4A is way overrated. In '06 LCM took the Brook behind the shed for a good 'ole country beatin' and last year, Westbrook beat up on LCM. As is with any high school game, it's who makes the routine plays and who can throw strikes.

Dayton couldn't make the playoffs with the best pitcher in the district last year. Hoping for a different outcome this year would be wishful thinking

LC-M's athletic program is not a joke. . just the football team. Check the facts before you make another ignorant statement

First of all, congrats to Clay. Like he said last night, this is something you dream about as a kid. He was mixing his stuff very well and the 'hook' to Markakis in 9th was simply unhittable. But again, Congratulations Clay. Soak it up 'cause it doesn't happen much. I think I speak for everyone when I say we all hope to see more of this

4.25 speed is world class. His speed alone would have made him a 1-5 rounder out of high school. Plus there's alot of difference between a stopwatch 4.25 and a laser 4.25

Well if I remember correctly, LCM took the Brook to the woodshed last year. Now I know this was only a scrimmage and not much can be taken from it and I do know the Brook took LCM out back this year. It's not a question of 5A vs. 3A/4A, it's just baseball, which team is better on that day. LCM was better last year and the Brook was better this year. No fault of either school, just the way things turned out. That's the game of baseball

So you're telling me Bucholtz ran below a 6.5, which is what Bruce ran? He couldn't hit like Jay and both threw 90 off the mound. Bruce also kept himself out of legal trouble which Clay did not. IMO, Bruce is better but pitching comes as a premium in the bigs which is why Clay might be in the show before Jay. Bruce will be there before you know it though

Eh, it wasn't too bad donkey. At least I didn't say anything about your fruity picture. Freddie??. . . come on now man

Donkey's name fits him perfectly. . . jacka**

I disagree. Even though the dstrict was very young this year, some very good baseball was played. LCM overachieved, plain and simple. Noone gave them a chance at the start of the year, but now you see what hard work and good coaching can do. The Bears got beat by better, more experienced team, and just because they came in 3rd place means nothing. I personally dont think that was a disgrace at all. The Bears and district 22-4A will return with a vengeance I promise you. Good season Bears, keep your head up. Also, good luck to Bridge City and Jasper

It doesn't matter if it's a message board or not, people with class still do not talk trash. The only reason you continue to bash others is because you can hide behind a measly screename...congratulations coward

As far as showing absolutely no class whatsoever bh-89, don't try to count your chickens before they hatch. Bay City is a very talented team and if you do get past them, may the Lord himself be with you against Montgomery. Good luck..

And yet again, Dog24's incompetence speaks loudly. A little information might help you: Once you get in the playoffs anything, and I mean anything can happen! Maybe you're still a little sour about your lackluster high school career. Show a little confidence in these area teams and back them up whoever the 3 may be. Geez.

I believe you are very wrong Cats. Sam Moore has really not had a hand in the success the Bears are having this year. Is Sam on the sideline coaching? No, I don't believe he is. Did Sam have a hand in the success the Bears had last year or the year before that? No again. Griff and Stephenson put on a show year in and year out with whatever team they have. You can't take any of the accolades away from these 2 fine coaches by saying that someone else prepared their team better than they did. Again, 2 of the premier coaches in the state and I personally wish them continued success.
