walldrill Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 What was the biggest upset from week one of the playoffs in your opinion? For me it is Gilmer knocking off Carthage. Quote

Don't think so, Silsbee was the favorite, but I knew it would be close ball games. Jasper is better than their record. They have lost a ton of close ball games, and bring nearly everyone back next year. Quote

Orangefield is really playing well, and beat a quality ranked Hudson squad. Swagg3364, walldrill, Critter and 1 other 4 Quote

That didn't shock me. I think Kountze knocking off East Bernard 2-0 was a big surprise. Chester86 1 Quote
Silsbee92 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 Kennedale went down as well. Several #1 Seeds lost ot #4 seeds. Jasper was probably best team in their district. walldrill 1 Quote
LionsUp14 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 Respectfully disagree. Lufkin Hudson (the district champs) were by far the best team in that district. Three, could even say four, quality arms. Couple D-1 guys. Team was very good. Not saying, by any means, Jasper isn't good, but I don't think they were near the caliber as LH. Quote
Hagar Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 I'm not as familiar with most teams outside our area. From my limited knowledge, Snook holding Big Sandy to only 4 runs was a Hugh upset Quote

Maybe so...yet they lost to Orangefield a #4 seed. Maybe they need 4 quality bats instead. Quote
LionsUp14 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 I think it shows the strength of 22-4A. Orangefield isnt exactly a pushover or your typical #4 seed. ST413 and walldrill 2 Quote
Hupernikomen Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Anytime Jasper or Carthage lose in the first round that is notable. Silsbee was clearly the better team this year. walldrill 1 Quote

Exactly! People are looking at the bottom two 22-4A teams as "pushovers" when they could have arguably won the DC in any other district. Quote
