BC Baseball in 08'

[gocards]

Bridge City has 2  freshman that will play Varsity Ball in 08? Who could this be?

Is there another Matt Hicks and Joseph Robertson in the Freshman Class? I thought these boys were special when they were Freshman, but was told the coach announced that 2 players that are freshman will be brought up to fill certain spots on this years varsity team.

Do these boys have that much talent to bypass other players?

[rowdy red]

  I  had heard about the coach saying this also.  One of the kids being his own nephew.  I just can't see that at all------shurely this is wrong, over other older more qualified players

[eagle12]

I know of several sophomores who should move up and could have even played last year on the team...I wouldn't think freshman would go above them and it seems convenient his nephew is one mentioned.  And who could the other be?  I have been around these kids for years and I can't think of any freshman that would qualify for varsity especially above some of the sophomores!!!!! 

[cards_mom]

How many did varsity players graduated from last years team?  Lots of sophs were pulled up during the playoffs last season, so I would assume they are varsity players to start this season.  That being said, I don't think there is alot of room for players on the team, much less freshmen, but that's just my humble opinion!  Are these freshmen pitchers??????  And are they good?  I think for a freshman to be put above some of the kids I know there, they better be exceptional players, heads above the upperclassmen they will move over and I am having a hard time justifying that........but I am not a coach so that is an honest question that if any of you guys can answer, please do!

This sounds like it is going to be another bash Coach Bryant topic. I really doubt he has said that 2 freshmen would certainly be on varsity, so get over yourselves till you see it.

Considering you have yet to have an official practice, and it is still NOVEMBER i am sure that coach bryant said nothing of the sorts.  THUMP THUMP THUMP, listen do you hear it?  Its the sounds of basketballs in the gym ;D

I for one am not bashing anybody, but asked an honest question for someone who might be able to intelligently answer it.  If there are a lack of pitchers at the varsity level and there are two boys who are heads and shoulders above the rest at chunking the ball, then doesn't matter what grade they are in, I would think.  I just wanted to know if this may be the case, and that was why I asked for any guys who may know the baseball situation better than I.  

So, anyone that knows exactly who BC lost last year, please respond because I don't know them all.

CF-Johnny Dishon

1B- Chase Warner

2B- Troy Bolton

DH- Garrett Delano

and 2 pitchers- Stringer and Meeks

Looks like they lost alot!  And two pitchers at that.  So, in looking at that, there are several large holes to fill in the line-up, but Bridge City never seems to run out of baseball talent so that shouldn't pose too big a problem.  I guess the thing to do is sit back and see what happens....................and go to the gym and support the basketball team!!!!!!

If I remember correctly both their JV and soph. teams did well last year. So BC will be okay and ready to compete with Jasper and the other contenders for the district crown.

Talk to the kids in his baseball class!

Coach Bryant never said that the two freshmen will be brought up, he said they have a chance to.  Also i there is two really good freshman but one of them is his nephew, the other one i heard was going to be a really great pitcher.  also i am in the baseball class so i would know what i am talking about.

[eagle12]

If you are in the baseball class then you know exactly who I am talking about....there are 2 boys that did extremely well on JV last yr and could have easily played with the varsity.  I am not going to mention names, but if you are actually in the class I am VERY sure you know who I am talking about.  They are outstanding athletes and very good kids all around!

This sounds like more of what a coach would tell kids. Maybe he is trying to motivate some of the older guys to work a little harder.

[cards_mom]

Maybe he is just letting kids know that just because they made varsity last year does not mean you automatically are on varsity again and to get there you have to earn it.  And if they don't then some of the underclassmen will take the spot.  Not sure, but that should motivate them all.

You dont know what youre talking about because no freshmen played on JV last year

[Jasperfan]

And the soap opera continues....

[eagle12]

My bad....they were on freshman, but shouldn't have been....it was basically called the "sophomore team" 

[Guest Bulldog]

Don't worry about coach Bryant come Febuary he'll have the best team possible on the field for BC you can bet on that.....

Just a question but what are the names of the freshman considered to "possibly" be on varsity?

[cardinals4life]

Forrest Zoch is the only one that should have a chance to make it

[bccards]

Forrest Zoch is the only one that should have a chance to make it

I did here was suppose to be a really good pitcher

[eagle12]

Matt Hicks was pulled up as a freshmen and he was well deserving because he has amazing ability...do you think Zoch is the same caliber pitcher as Hicks? 

[Guest Orangeboy]

You usually have to be better than really good to make it as a freshmen. I would think the same would apply at BC. BC was very blessed to have both Hicks and Robertson contribute as much as they did on a regional finalist team.
