Lamar vs. Texas State Game Thread/LU Wins!!!!!!!!!!!!


Recommended Posts

were sitting pretty.we need two more wins and were slc champs.looks like lamar and sam are on a collision course.im assuming erickson will get the nod friday but he did pitch 2/3 of an inning today.we have morgal and needham that have started some games this year and our bullpen is fresh.not sure what gilligan has up his sleeve.this is the point in the tourney where pitching depth really comes into play.we have gore,thibodeaux,mcinnis,nelson,smith and maybe one other that can get some outs.ideal scenario is for us to win tomorrow and sam to lose,forcing either sam or utsa to play 2 on saturday.we could come back with sisk on saturday with 3 1/2 days rest(he only threw 70 pitches wednesday).

Everything is in the favor of our ball clubs to make the championship game right now. That'd be fun, especially if both of our teams get the win today and do not need to play a second game before that point.

If either of our teams have to play two games prior to the championship game, the cards are in the hands of the team that does not. SHSU has the advantage right now having home-field advantage, having not had to go to the bullpen yet in the tournament and such. If you made a list of things that would be ideal for the Kats to win this tournament, you could go ahead and check them all off at this point.

Today can change that as we could play 15 innings in a game and throw each guy out of our pen. You guys could do the same. No telling! Good luck today and again, please try to wrap your game up as quickly as possible so I'm not staying up too late!

    • I don’t know about any rivalry there because I don’t live there but although LP and DP play in different classifications they still have a lot in common.  I mean, both beat Barber’s Hill this year!
    • I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.  
    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
