WB vs Area?

[wg88pitcher]

The 07 West Brook Squad would have benefited from playing down only if the surrounding schools could have put together an all star squad to face them. Pretty much the all SETX team MIF04 put together, minus the WB players. This would have been one heck of a game, and I would have loved to see what the outcome would have been. Who knows in the future, but in 07, it's a great game.

Here is the starting lineup for each consisting of a 15 man roster.

WB

David Murphy

Tim Ferguson

Mark Serna

Bobby Armstrong

Josiah Svoboda

Todd Wallace

Thad Lycan

Josh Fisher

David Falgout

Nathaniel Svoboda

Matt Serna

Hunter Davidson

Lane Helveston

Aaron Bender

Stephen tubbs

SETX

Jake Rowell – LCM

Ross Hales – Barbers Hill

Johnny Dishon – Bridge City

Jeff Stringer (Bridge City)

Shawn Flores (PNG)

Tucker Muckleroy (Buna)

Cameron Campbell (Barbers Hill)

Braeden Riley (Woodville)

VJ Bunner (Vidor)

Chad Richard (LCM)

Taylor Hart (Jasper)

Rocky Calhoun (Silsbee)

Aaron Treece (Hardin Jefferson)

Travis Reagan (Jasper)

Chris Raggett (Ozen)

So an area all-star team is the only team that could have competed against WB? I beg to differ

[MIF04]

I think a lot of teams could compete locally with WB...heck, it happened during the year.  Ozen and BH beat them, and PNG played them into extra innings.  Central was pesky and only Vidor got rolled by WB.   

On the other hand, if the point is that WB was the best/most talented team in the area, I agree with that (certainly as it regards their 1-9 lineup).  They were just that good this year.  Will they be that good next year? Probably not...they lost a lot of talent due to graduation (#1 pitcher, 1B, 2B, SS, LF, CF). 

WB was a very good team in 2007 but they weren't the only team.  LCM had a great run.  BH did the same.  And, of course, there's that team up from Jasper...

[RoundRock89]

Thanks MIF04....  Could someone check on wg88pitcher?  He is just trying to get us stirred-up right?  He couldn't be serious?  ....Not sure what to say here?  Let's see WB take care of Ozen and then let them step-up to Jasper, BC, and some of the others in the regular season.... In regards to one of wg88's other entries related to if a 3A school was to play WB, the 3A school would need to pitch their ace, etc.  Of course, Jasper or BC would pitch their ace if at all possible.  Just like Jasper or Bridge City would pitch their ace when playing each other.  And WB better play their starters.  I guess if they didn't play their starters, they'd at least have an excuse for the loss.... No all-star team needed to beat WB...

It also describes the way you put West Brook out to these other posters, discrediting any opinion I have given.........

[donkey]

Barbers Hill had a good team...LCM...well WB beat them by about 20 this year

[MIF04]

Barbers Hill had a good team...LCM...well WB beat them by about 20 this year

Gimme a break....the LCM deal was a scrimmage (which means zero).  And I'm a WB fan.  I think they were the class of the area this year.  But a game or scrimmage in Feb really means very little....

[donkey]

i agree but LCM was the one talking about the actual scrimmage the year before

[LoveoftheGame]

Donkey's name fits him perfectly. . . jacka**

[Guest Orangeboy]

Forget the Brook versus the area, lets see those studs versus the WORLD.

[ALLABOUTSTATE4BC09]

Forget the Brook versus the area, lets see those studs versus the WORLD.

HAHA NICE

[wg88pitcher]

Now that's a game I'd pay to watch. ;D

[donkey]

ooo good one loveofthegame...you hit me hard with tht one

[LoveoftheGame]

Eh, it wasn't too bad donkey. At least I didn't say anything about your fruity picture. Freddie??. . . come on now man

[EAGLE07]

How about just letting them play BH. 

[East TX]

Brook has a good team about every five years--and that was the fifth year last year.

I think they would struggle against most all SE TX teams regardless of classification THIS year.

[mark serna]

you must have forgotten about the 05 team the 04 team wasnt too bad either

[besbolbenbedygud]

East Tx.......where does this every five year info come from.......i'd trash it......

[MIF04]

WB '04 team went 2 rounds deep in 5A playoffs.  The '05 team went 3 rounds.  The '06 didn't.  The 07 won district and went 2 rounds.  And, they did that playing in maybe the toughtest 5A district in the Region.

[donkey]

in that case...vidor has a good team every....40 years

[AstrosFanatic]

HAHA good one Jacka**...but you better change that to two years out of 40 because they plan to start where they left off

[donkey]

astros are terrible

[EAGLE07]

'Stros could not even beat West Brook....... ;D ;D
