  1. Is this the start of the season where the coach starts new job?
  2. Indians must win two tonight or season’s over The Port Arthur News BAYTOWN -- The Port Neches-Groves Indians baseball team fell apart in a 11-4 loss in Wednesday night's bi-district matchup with Galena Park. Fortunate for the Tribe, they had Thursday to regroup and refocus for Game 2 today at 4 p.m. at Baytown Sterling High School.       The Indians will need back-to-back wins today to advance to the area round of the Class 4A state tournament where they will either face San Marcos or Waller.     With much help from four critical errors from PN-G's defense, GP turned a 2-0 deficit into a 6-2 lead over the third, fourth and fifth innings Wednesday night. The Tribe was charged with seven miscues in the contest.     But PN-G manager Jay Stone said his team understands what's done is done and it is time to move forward.     "We're going to go out and have a good workout today, a good defensive workout," said Stone in a phone interview Thursday afternoon. "We've told the kids to put (Wednesday) behind us."       Stone's bunch dropped to 18-9 for the season while the Yellow Jackets moved to 17-10 and a game away from eliminating District 20-4A's second place team. GP finished third in District 19-4A, which is already 1-0 against 20-4A teams after Crosby pummeled Vidor 7-1 on Wednesday in a winner-take-all playoff.       Stone is confident his team can force a third game and put away the Yellow Jackets, who got seven innings out of Efren Garcia in Game 1. Meanwhile, Austin Stone (4.1 innings), Blake Reyenga (1.2 innings) and Alex Anderson (one inning) split the workload for the Indians.       Senior right-hander Chris Sweetenham will take the hill for the Tribe in Game 2. He has an 8-2 record with a 1.45 earned run average.
  3. Masterful pitching leads LC-M past KP Van Wade Orange Leader BEAUMONT — Getting a masterful one-hit pitching performance from their pitching staff, mainly from Kody Smith, the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears blanked District 19-4A champion Kingwood Park 3-0 in Game One of their best-of-three Class 4A Region III playoff series at Lamar University’s Vincent-Beck Stadium Thursday night. Smith pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing just one hit while striking out five and walking four. Scott Vaughn had a big two-run single in the bottom of the fifth to spark the Bear win. The series will continue today at 6 p.m. at Kingwood Park High School. Game Three, if necessary, will be at noon Saturday at LC-M’s Don Gibbens Field. The LC-M-Kingwood Park winner will face either Magnolia or DeValle in the area round of the playoffs next week. Clay Ryan and Shane Waddell also pitched for the Bears in relief and did a fine job. The Bears struck for three runs in the bottom of the fifth off Kingwood Park starter Tyler Nichols. Mason Dallas got it started with a one-out single and moved to second on a superb sacrifice bunt by Jonathan Allen. Ryan Waddell drew a two-out walk and Brandon Landry brought home Dallas with an infield single as Dallas darted into home to beat the throw. Vaughn brought home some insurance by scoring Waddell and Landry with a hard two-run single. Nichols went the distance on the mound for the Panthers, allowing five hits while striking out four and walking one. The Bears’ withstood a Panther threat in the top of the sixth. After Smith walked both Crabtree and Tyler Nichols with one out, Clay Ryan took over on the mound and struck out Kyle Ebow but walked Austin Salter to load the bases. Shane Waddell then took the mound and the senior got cleanup hitter Sam Gee to fly out. The Panthers avoided trouble in the bottom of the first as the Bears left three runners stranded. Allen drew a one-out walk and Ryan Waddell reached on an error at shortstop. Brandon Landry loaded the bases with a sharp single. Nichols got out of the jam by getting Scott Vaughn to reach on a fielder’s choice to third as Allen was thrown out at home. Shane Waddell followed with a groundout to short. The Panthers’ Sam Gee doubled with two outs in the top of the fourth but was gunned out at third after outfielder Hunter Gonzales zipped the ball in to shortstop Brandon Landry, who threw a dart to third baseman Ryan Waddell as Gee went past the bag. Gonzalez had a two-out single in the fourth for the Bears.

  10. Fla. coaches believe teen is really 22     Jerry Joseph is a 16-year-old star high school basketball player in Odessa, Texas. U.S. Immigration officials say he's in the country illegally. And some coaches from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., believe he's a former player who starred in South Florida and is actually 22. The 6-foot-5 Joseph, who plays for Permian High School in Odessa, has faced allegations that he is really Guerdwich Montimere, who starred at Fort Lauderdale's Dillard High School and graduated in 2007. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have determined that Joseph is not Montimere, but that Joseph, from Haiti, is in the country illegally. Joseph has been allowed to stay enrolled at Permian and play basketball, however. His coach, Danny Wright, has been made his legal guardian until a hearing is held to determine Joseph's status. Joseph had been staying with Wright's family since the end of the last school year, even before the controversy. A date hasn't been set yet for the hearing. ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa told USA Today that investigators used the FBI database and determined through fingerprint analysis that Joseph wasn't Montimere. Cedric Smith and Louis Vives, coaches for the South Florida Elite AAU team, saw Joseph last month at an AAU tournament in Arkansas and are convinced that Joseph is Montimere. "I'm 100 percent sure. I would bet my paycheck," Smith told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "We saw him. We've known Guerdwich since he was in seventh or eighth grade. The mannerisms were him. It doesn't make sense. They have to do more investigations for me," Smith told the newspaper. Joseph denied that he was Montimere when he talked with Vives at the tournament. "It was shocking, and the question at hand was just why," Vives told USA Today. "When I approached him, I just wanted to know what was going on. The surprised look on his face gave it away that it was him. ... Once he saw a Florida team and players and coaches who knew him, the look on his face was like, 'Wow, what am I into now?' " Permian principal Roy Garcia told the Sun-Sentinel that his school contacted Dillard in its investigation. "Any time we get an accusation that serious, we have to check it out," Garcia told the Odessa American. "If the allegations are true, that means a 22-year-old is walking around the halls with high school kids." The Odessa American reported that Joseph was enrolled at Permian by Jabari Caldwell, who was a teammate of Montimere's at Dillard. According to the newspaper, Caldwell signed an affidavit that Joseph was his half-brother. However, Wright's wife, Jamie, told the Odessa American that Joseph phoned her last week and said he wasn't related to Caldwell. Caldwell told the Odessa American that he helped Joseph enroll at Permian as a favor to a friend he used to play with in Fort Lauderdale. Joseph, whose Haitian birth certificate says he was born on Jan. 1, 1994, was homeless in Fort Myers, Fla., after fleeing a hurricane in Haiti in 2008, the newspaper reported. "He asked me if it was possible for me to help him enroll in school," Caldwell told the Odessa American. "I met him in Odessa. He came out here on a Greyhound." Caldwell, who had been playing at the University of Texas-Permian Basin, left Texas for Florida when his coach left for another job. Joseph wanted to stay in Texas and asked Wright if he could stay with the coach. Wright told the Odessa American that he hopes to adopt Joseph. "I don't think there was a loser in this thing at all," Wright told the newspaper. "When this broke, there was a panic to do the right thing. I think everyone was trying to do their job to the best of their ability." Joseph has declined to comment when contacted by media outlets.

[/quote] Your gonna learn....just hang around a bit.  If your not from East of the Trinity you have to be in the top 1 or 2 spots and beat some of them to even be recognized.  That's OK, after this weekend their list will dwindle to maybe 1 team and they will all be talking football anyways.    [/quote] Jody that smell from the west is awful you sent.  :D :D
