And before anybody says that is 7 days, I am not counting Sunday which you can not play a UIL contest. This also just lets you know that for some schools and people baseball is one of those Oh Yeah sports, Oh Yeah we have a baseball team too. [/quote] How's the knee? [/quote] Knee??????? Along with the eyesight......Man you're falling apart  ;D

This must be a New Waverly thing.....Was at a baseball game last May in Bryan where the entire New Waverly side of the stadium was asked to leave the park because of their constant bad mouthing and berading of the umpires.....Hate to lump everyone in the same group, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain't a turkey.....

[quote name="shake and bake" post="925771" timestamp="1291476013"] Coach Trawhon helped bring lots of improvements to the Silsbee BB program. However if you look back at last years team he was lucky to get them where they finished. Between youth and injuries he did a remarkable job. Last years district was setup for WOS,OF, and BC and everyone else was shooting for the leftover spots. The AD and admin's at Silsbee have NO control of DISIPLINE at the school and within the program and have not for several years. Thats a fact. Lots of talent but it only gets you so far. The new Coach should do fine this year if they will let him alone and let him coach.JMO [/quote] That's ok, cause he's in Bobcat land now.....eventhough he's not involved with baseball, don't think Coach Bennett won't be picking his brain on some issues.

[quote name="mstngfan07" post="909744" timestamp="1289841849"] just heard some squads are falling apart. not good but good luck to everyone in district 21-3A [/quote] By some squads you mean WOS?  I heard that too.....Gotta do what each individual feels like is best for them....

The team that scores the most points  :D

[quote name="BCgrad05" post="807642" timestamp="1275197691"] Is Bennett trying to say BC wasn't good when he got here? [/quote] BC being good is a given, them along with Jasper are the standard for SE Texas baseball....He was talking about the district they were in those 2 years and how tough it was.  You had a quality team in Silsbee that didn't go to the playoffs those 2 years...

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="799823" timestamp="1273422693"] Dont think so, not 100% sure. [/quote] Yes warm up games count...they are 27-2...Lost to Prosper and Kennedale...

Coach Bennett going back to his old stomping grounds.....

Jacob Felts (OF) has been selected.

I'm not sure what you consider a "newcomer." Is it new to varsity or new to a district.  If it's new to a district, no matter what grade, in 21-3A you have to consider Corey Huckabay from Orangefield.  He has fit in with that group and made what was an already good line up even better.  Plus, he has played a very good RF and CF.

[/quote] Why he only has 3 homers this year, no reason to walk him. [/quote] Only?  How many times has he been walked? [/quote] He was walked 4 times vs. Silsbee....

Orangefield 4 WOS 3 Statum 5 IP, 12 K's; Angelle 2 IP, 2 K's, retired the final 6 batters. Anderson (WOS) 7 IP, 7 hits, 2 K's, 2 BB's Good HS ballgame.  Had playoff atmosphere, good defensive plays and clutch pitching on both sides. Both Statum and Anderson had to deal with an inconsistent strike zone, but they each showed why they are their teams ace.  They battled and made big pitches when needed. 

[quote name="Bobcat55" post="778966" timestamp="1268995807"] OF has 12 Evans has 7, Angelle has 3, Statum 1, Felts 1 [/quote] Evans-7 Angelle-3 Felts-2 Statum-1 Huckabay-1

[quote name="Gabe" post="776138" timestamp="1268425271"] Chase Angelle has to be near the top. How many does he have now? [/quote] Chase has 3 and Quinton Evans has 4

After seeing Kelly this weekend in the OF tournament and having just played them, I don't feel as if they are underrated.  They are a quality ballclub.  They play good defense and they swing the bats.  Their pitching is pretty good also.  Nothing overpowering, but they throw strikes and spot up very well.  I know that OF feels like they beat a quality team this evening.

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="771968" timestamp="1267854353"] Will it be Orangefield vs Lumberton in the Championship game? [/quote] Orangefield vs. PA Memorial in the Championship game.  Before you people say this will be a cakewalk, Memorial is much improved.  Evidently they have some move-ins and they have held their own this weekend.  Memorial swings it well and they have shown glimses of playing quality defense.  Don't know who Memorial has left to pitch, but I'm sure that Coach McFarlin and Coach McKellar will pull something out of the hat.  OF will probably go with Felts.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="761075" timestamp="1266416602"] Smith, Cardenas, Brady, Raines for Ned. Statum, Angelle, Felts for OF.  I left in the 6th so not sure what happened after. [/quote] Whitson, Q. Evans and Watson each threw an inning for the Bobcats....

OF @ Liberty changed from Tuesday to Monday start time still at 5:00

Circle, You need to change the varsity tourney....I believe that's the old bracket....Just checking..

1st day of practice is January 29th.  The UIL only regulates when after school practice may begin.  Each district has policies on tryouts, cuts, etc.  Email the head coach at the school, they will give you all the information that you will need.

[/quote] No, he's fit in nicely with that group....Boboandblair, I don't know what kind of agenda you have but obviously you have some sour grapes toward the OF kiddos.  All that happened was that a new coach came in and showed that you could have some success as long as the internal people believe that they can be successful.
