MIF04 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 This installment of our mid-week Random Thoughts finds every one of our top 10 'holding true'...they all won except for Vidor and Huffman (both of whom played higher ranked teams).In the smaller classifications, 1A Evadale remained undefeated in district play with a 10-0 shellacking of Hull-Daisetta. In 2A, #10 Buna also remained undefeated in district play with a 6-0 whitewash of Anahuac. In 21-3A, Bridge City travelled to Sour Lake and hung a 7-1 loss on the Hawks. Silsbee defeated the hardluck OF Bobcats 7-5 while Jasper ripped Kirbyville 18-2. HF rocked defenseless WOS 15-2. With BC at 6-0, and Silsbee and Jasper both at 5-1, Hardin Jefferson is almost down to every game being a 'must win' situation if they have any hopes of making the playoffs. Friday's Silsbee at Bridge City matchup should be a gem (remember BC hung on to win the first one 2-1). The Cards have already thrown LHP Jeff Stringer so it is up in the air whether Phillip Meeks or Matt Hicks gets the start on the bump. Silsbee has ace Joel Schooling ready to go for them.4A highlights begin with Barbers Hill continuing their march through (and over) 21-4A opponents. The expected 'barn burner' with Huffman never materialized as the Eagles blasted the Falcons 11-1. Huffman, who chose not to pitch either #1 Michael Listi or #2 Heath Arnold, are now squarely in 3rd place in the district race.22-4A matchups had LCM scoring in the bottom of the 6th to defeat Nederland 4-2 while PNG took care of Vidor 7-4. Dayton and Ozen were big winners, defeating Central and hapless Lumberton respectiviely. PNG leads the race at 5-0 with LCM and Dayton a game back at 4-1. Vidor is fourth at 3-2. Nederland (1-4) travels to Dayton as the Bulldogs' playoff hopes fade while this week's upset special could be Ozen vs. Vidor.Finally, our two local 5A teams locked horns with the West Brook Bruins emerging with a 10-2 win over the Memorial Titans. Jr. C Todd Wallace followed Friday's 2 home run performance with...another 2 home run performance. The Bruins' hopes for a district championship took a turn upward when Sterling was upset by upstart Atascocita. WB continues that quest Friday night at Humble.Until the Friday night...
Silsbee92 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Cards' are facing a tough three-game stretch. Silsbee, Buna and then Jasper in 5 Days. If any of the starters bobble then the bats will have to come through, again. BC can silence most of their critics (BH and WB) with a 3 game sweep. Of course this is just the random thoughts of a baseball fan.... 8)
BigTuna Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Jasper still has to play BC twice, Silsbee, HF, HJ, OF. Not and easy road.

Ty Cobb Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Who said anything about Silsbee playing Buna?
Silsbee92 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 Who said anything about Silsbee playing Buna?Wasn't me. Someone edited my post when they tried to quote it. Maybe I was being to analytical. I will try and keep it simple next time. ;D
sarge Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Can someone please explain why New Caney and Huffman did not throw their #1 against BH? This has me puzzled.
EAGLE07 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 I hear you Sarge...little confused myself. We'll probably see them in round two...maybe ? Huffman has put thereselves(?) in tight spot @ 3-2...w/ New Caney and Crosby ahead of them @ 4-1-0.
