LOL as much as I love our HS players, I'll never say it could happen. There is a reason the Astros are in the pros and a reason our boys have some work and practice to do before they are on that level.

......and it's why they are paid the big $$$$$$$.

never say never, I say never, also. No way. MLB dominates ground zero...batter's box/strike zone. Never.

Sure...anything is possible...   Not very likely,,,but nevertheless possible.

That would be pretty cool to see..a SETX HS all-star team vs. the Astros...that would be something those kids would remember for the rest of their lives..and if they happened to win...WOW!!!!

yankeedawg has the right idea  ;)

Yes the hooks are AA.. And that means the worst player on their team is more than likely better than the best High School player in our area...

I'm pretty sure that there is 5-6 players in Setx that could play AA

But there is a reason those players are in AA and not the majors.

After watching yesterday's game/debacle against the lowly Pirates................I change my mind.  ;)

Stros may go 1 - 163

if they play as bad as they have been, I hope they don't make them play 2 extra ;D

162 game season...  ;):D

I know this was a "just for fun thread"... Seriously though... I think that very few of us (myself included) really have a grasp of how good the ballplayers are even on the worst clubs in baseball and how big the gap is between truly great high schoolers and the pros. I know Andruw Jones was like 17 when he exploded on the scene but he is by far the exception and not the rule.

I too would like to know the highschoolers in this area that could play AA.

Colin played summer ball with us when he was 16. He stood out then and you knew he was someone who would have the potential to make it to the bigs.

As far as a high school competition with the pros's, never happen.

Take a look all the high school teams in our area from 1A to 5A. I could be wrong but only a minor few from each team would be able to earn a starting position on a playoff team moving up just one classification.

    • Regardless of the offense, kids need a reason or purpose to play football. Normally, for most kids, football is something they genuinely enjoy playing, because most players won’t be suiting up on Saturdays. At the end of the day, the most successful teams have kids and coaches that genuinely love the game and get joy and fulfillment playing it.  Vidor’s two current biggest issues are the lack of appeal to play the game and a lack of community support. The offense has been the same for years, and Mathews did a great job of getting the kids and community behind his teams year in and year out. Vidor’s whole identity was being a team you hated to play because you knew you were in for a long physical night. That made the game fun for the kids who played, and they took a lot of pride in it. Currently, I would argue that the toxic attitude of the community towards the offense and Dubois in general is the biggest thorn in the team’s side. The need for instant gratification from fans is what is fueling it all. When the players go home or out in the community and hear: how bad the offense is, how bad the defense is, or how bad the coaching is, the players will begin to lose pride in the program, and the game is no longer fun. This leads to discipline issues and players quitting. Vidor has lost their identity and Dubois and the offensive scheme isn’t the culprit. The Vidor community needs to leave their objections of who they hired at the door and let the man work if they wanna be successful in the future. 
    • We will see i heard they pretty dam good 3 losses but all to great teams
    • Yes. May have been Jimmies. What I’m seeing is a lot more teams going back to more ‘traditional style’ offenses. These things go in cycles, and it’s very difficult for all but mega schools to consistently find QB’s who can really be effective with a true spread type offense year in and year out. I’d venture to guess most schools have an outstanding QB that can win a game almost on their own only every few years if that, and that’s what you need for the ‘high flying’ spreads. So coaches go for the O’s that they can groom the majority of kids to be successful running, and take advantage of the superstar’s skills more within that O when they get them.
    • Always a great game… with big Ned on the road to far, I’m going to attend this one. Give me PAM! Tank going to have a 3 sack game 😎😎
    • That last one cost me $50
