jdawg03 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 District 22-3a 1. Jasper- The Dawgs should win district 22-3a failry easily. Led by Senior SETXsports MVP Candidate Will Alvis, Jasper should have no problem going undefeated in district. They have a very solid pitching staff for a 3a team, which will only get better when junior pitcher Travis Reagan comes back. Everyone in their lineup can hit the ball, and hit it consistently. The Bulldogs come into district play a battled tested team after playing a tough schedule. 2. Silsbee- Perhaps the brightest spot on the Tigers’ season thus far is an upset over surprise team Hamshire-Fannett. Pitchers Schooling, Skinner, and McDonald should help Silsbee secure 2nd place in the district, but it is highly unlikely they will give Jasper a run for their money. With that said, Coach Trahan does have this team and program going in the right direction 3. Kirbyville- The Wildcats haven’t had much luck winning games this season. They have played some descent competition, but it won’t benefit them enough to get them into the top 2 spots. Brothers Drew and Aaron Hazlewood have both been hitting the ball well, but those guys by themselves won’t beat Silsbee or Jasper. 4. Buna- The Cougs could beat out Kirbyville for the number three spot. They did have a descent win over WO-S earlier in the year. 5. Shepherd- Same story, different sport for the Pirates. Just outmatched in this district. Next year can’t come soon enough. 6. Coldspring District 23-3a 1. Barber’s Hill- The area’s only undefeated team left. Even though the Eagles haven’t played a tough schedule, their undefeated record is impressive nonetheless. The BH teams have traditionally been able to hit well, and this year’s team is no different. Huffman will challenge BH, but we still think the Eagles will come out on top. 2. Huffman- The Falcons have done well this year after playing some descent competition. Look for them to take the second spot in 23-3a fairly easily and possibly beat out Barbers Hill for the district championship. Huffman is already a forced to be reckoned with, and once their ace pitcher Bagley returns from injury they will be a very dangerous team. 3. Cleveland- Who? This is the team the came out of nowhere to demolish the #1 3a team in the state Bridge City. Let’s not forget, BC did handle them easily in the game before. The jury’s still out for this team. 4. Splendora- Had some nice wins at the Shepherd Tournament, and may be able to claim the third spot in the district. 5. Liberty 6. Tarkington District 24-3a 1. Bridge City- It is no secret how good this team is. With ace pitcher Kevin Angelle, the Cards should win district and make a lot of noise in the playoffs. Look for outfielders Dishon and Sparks, and pitchers Haymon and Stringer to lead Bridge City to another 24-3a District Tiltle. However, it does appear the Cardinals may have some unexpected competition from Hamshire-Fannett. 2. Hamshire-Fannett- Easily the biggest surprise of the season thus far. The Longhorns have won two tournaments this year, one in which they defeated both LCM and Jasper. HF could make 24-3a into a very interesting race. Second team All SETX Team catcher Abe Barrera is one of the area’s best and pitchers Neal, Cuniff, Sanchez, and Lange should all help Fannett challenge Bridge City for the district championship. 3. Hardin Jefferson- The Hawks haven’t been overly impressive this year, but do have a better outlook than any of the other teams left in 24-3a. They did play LCM close earlier this year in LCM’s own tourney. Both Roebuck kids have been solid, but they won’t be enough to land them in one of the top two spots in the district. 4. WO-S- It has been a rough go of it as of late for the Mustangs, after starting off the season well. WO-S is just now getting all of its players back from basketball, and it remains to be seen how much they will help the team. Other than LHP Eric Sparks, the Stangs don’t really have any other consistent pitchers. It still would not surprise us to see the Mustangs jump into the top three. 5. Orangefield- Other than a convincing win over 4a Livingston in the Jasper Tournament, the Bobcats haven’t been impressive. They do have some kids that can hit the ball well, which should give them a slim chance at making the playoffs this year. 6. Anahuac- Haven’t heard much about them, which probably isn’t a good thing.
smartguy Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 no respect...no respect...thats ok them boys in shepherd like it better when no one thinks they can do anything...
kerusso Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 Shepherd has had some very good Baseball teams in the past. Triangle people aren't very familiar with this program. They are the kind of team that will make you wonder what just happened if you don't know better.
highlightman Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 24- 3a is looking tough...with 4 really good teams fighting for a chance in the playoffs...i think it will look like this though 1 - BC 2 - HF 3 - WOS
wreckem Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Buna grabs the 3rd spot. Kirbyville is going to run out of pitching and Buna has more arms.
Guest Orangeboy Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 SILSBEE - JASPER (CO CHAMPS) BUNA TAKES 3RD
