Brent goes to Longview Pine Tree and plays SS/OF. Texas Prospects win game one 5-0 over the Louisanna Warriors. In the Prospects second game Bullard's Nick Rumbelow ( LSU ) pitches a complete game for a 2-0 win over the Sun Devils. One game Saturday at 5:30 and Sunday at 11:30 I believe.

I bet it looks just like those home run balls when it gets in the trophy case. Congrats.

Texas Prospects Black wins second game in B/CS @ Olsen Field 12-6 vs Power baseball, out of Houston i think. Prospects Red team won at SHSU with Colton Burleson pitching a good 4 innings and Soisson going 2/2.

Very well said and let's just get the players better as individuals in a group setting. Thats the good thing about baseball you can stink it up on the field and still win as a group or you can look good on a weak team and still showcase yourself while playing team ball. The main thing is getting better as players for the chance to play at the next level for yourself, whatever that level is. Some teams practice two or three times a week and some just show up and play but both are getting seen by the same scouts. Some players have a geographical hindrance from a travel perspective and show up and play works just fine with good results. The main thing is to be seen and to keep playing as long as possible.
