Their list of players to watch is a little off...I guess thats cause they only mention players to watch off teams 1-10. And I'm only speaking of players in 22-4A.

Hmmmm....I'm not sure about that order.

Bridge City will finish no better than 4th.  They have nothing for Silsbee or OF.  BC pitching is no where that of those 2 teams. Should be interesting either way.  Always a competitive district

Vidor could surprise a few teams with their pitching staff (Reagan & Reagan) and the power in the middle with (Atwood, Munoz, 7 Bailey).

I agree with that.  Looking at lineups up and down.  Not just 2 pitchers.  But Vidor will compete with the other two teams for 2.

Vidor took a big hit with one of their starters in the field and on the mound so their rotation will not be as strong but their lineup still has the potential to be dangerous.

A big hit? Did someone get hurt?

Unfortunately yes. He will be able to be utilized at the plate as a DH and as a baserunner but 100% sure will not be on the mound and a slim chance but a chance he will be able to play first.

Here we are in the third round of the playoffs and I thought it would be fun to look back at these predictions. Of the 8 remaining teams in the region 5 of them were in the top 10 pre season region favorites.
