Evadale 15 Woodville 3/FINAL

[Chester86]

The Rebels travel up north to Woodville for a noon start time.  This non-district match-up will be used by both teams as a playoff warm-up.  The field looks great, and I think the rain/drizzle is already by.

[Chester86]

After 1, both teams have 0.  Evadale stranded 1 off a walk.

[Chester86]

After the top half of the 3rd, the Rebels push 3 across on a single suicide squeeze.  The pitcher overthrew 1st, allowing the other two runs across.  The Rebels left 1 stranded.

[Chester86]

After 3 complete, the Rebels lead 5-0.

[Chester86]

Woodville rallies for 3 to extend the game.  The Rebels lead 10-3 going into the 6th.

[Chester86]

Rebels win 15-3

Smh!

[Chester86]

Why?

[longball24]

Nothing against evadale they have a very good team. Woodville has been going down hill for a while. This team is expected to go a long ways. This year and next . Dixie league World Series must mean nothing.

[Chester86]

They can turn it around.  The playoffs start everyone out at the same spot.  Get some guys hot at the plate and make a run.  The field looked great.

You are right you win or lose with pitching and hitting. No power arms and no hitting and you wind up with a short season.

Yes, they played a bad game. Yes, they should be held responsible. Leave that to the man that they pay to hold them responsible. I'm not an expert in sports psychology, but I can't imagine the boys on the team read this and think "Man, we have such great, supportive fans." Yes, the program has gone slightly downhill, but that's not due to a lack of effort or heart from these kids. Not every graduating class can produce 90+ arms and multiple people hitting tape measure shots. Whether you're meaning to blame them or not, that's how it will be perceived by those young men. Just please try to be more supportive, instead of criticizing. You do nothing to positively influence the program you claim to support by making negative comments like that.

That team was made up of kids from other Tyler County towns as well..Not solely Woodville... Besides I think most of those boys graduated over the last couple of years...

I have noticed the support or lack of for the past several weeks. Every game we lose nothing but excuses umpires fault you name it. Nothing a umpire or anyone else can do to win or lose. No wonder all every one talks about is softball. We will see how it goes against newton.  If self esteem is that low it is already over.

I'm not sure who you're referring to, but you haven't heard any excuses come from any of my posts. My only point was to, hopefully, get you to slow down on the criticizing teenagers on this public forum. And last time I checked, it went just fine against Newton last time

I know it's an unusual situation to lose to a 2A school, but Evadale is playing some good ball.  And only Big Sandy has beaten them in Dist, and they just beat Bridge City.  So Eagle fans, don't get down.  Just a warmup game, and that's the time to get that "bad game" (and everyone has them) over with.

Good luck to Woodville in the playoffs!

Yes our Evadale team isn't your typical 2A team nor is Big Sandy! We have pitchers & catchers that can pitch& catch against big teams and our defense is solid.

 Bigger schools aren't the only ones with Big talent anymore! We have several who play

summer ball and compete with or against 4, 5 & 6A players . So that makes a difference!

Bridge City isn't the usual Bridge City this year. But yes Big Sandy and Evadale have good teams.
