Look, I apoligize if I affended anyone. But, maybe im trying to put a little spark and sense into a team who is lacking there potential. They are a team in need of some leadership. I thought at the beginning of the season, H-J was for sure a two Seed in this district. If they want it bad enough, and their key players step up, they still have a chance. Their upcoming game against H-F will say alot. If they can pull out with a win, they can still make it at number 2. If not, they are setting themselves up for a hard road. Then they need to beat WO-S. So again, i apoligize for affending you but maybe you should read the message and learn from it. H-J can perform much better and will a little heart, they will.

Who are the players who you don't hear about with a shot at this team?

As a scout in the East Texas Region i have had the chance to see many games in District 24-3A. This is what i see. BC will have its usual and im sure Sparks (WOS) will find a spot for him also. But all i keep hearing about is the Roebuck kids from H-J. Where are they at? All I here is bad remarks about the Hawks baseball team. Where are these studs at? I see several other ballplayers with the potential to have sucess in the next level. The right fielder for H-J is a scrappy ballplayer who plays hard everygame. Talking to people, they say he has stepped it up for the Hawks and is leading the team in AVG. Also, another player from H-J, who hasn't had much concideration is Thomas Ferguson. He brings many tools to this team. He has a great glove and can swing the stick. He is leading the Hawks in AVG. in District play and has been a solid fielder. I first saw Thomas at the Baseball Factory Scouting and Team tryouts. He has a great vision for the ball and is very quick with his bat. He has the potential to be a dangerous threat for opponents and eventually for college pitchers. How come I havn't heard about these other players? I know why! Typical high school coaching in showing of one player and forgetting the few other players with great baseball potential. Im not bashing H-J, im just upset with the lack of advertisment from this district and the surrounding districts. Send your comments and let me know about these othere players!

Who do you think will shine in district 24-3a?

Don't worry about a race for third. H-J will slip out of the race after a 1st round of district loss to H-F. After a terrible 9 inning battle with a always weak Anuahac team, the Hawks have seemed to be fine with sloppy play and lack of team leadership. What a shame to see such a great team and such a great group of ballplayers go out like this. High expectations were set for this team, and they have thrown it all away. To me, time is running out for Hardin-Jefferson. Either get back to the basics of baseball, you know, fielding the ball, throwing the ball, and oh ya, catching the ball, or go home. If the Hawks can find some leadership and maybe, just maybe, a little heart with it, this team could do great things. But untill then, don't count on seeing the Hawks in the playoffs this year!!
