gocards Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdy red Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle12 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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!

Guest Orangeboy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt he has said that 2 freshmen would certainly be on varsity, so get over yourselves till you see it.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cards_mom Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So BC will be okay and ready to compete with Jasper and the other contenders for the district crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle12 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 please tell me who these sophmores are i would surely like to know 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cards_mom Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulldog Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 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?

Guest Orangeboy Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I did here was suppose to be a really good pitcherYou 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.
