4A State Championship to be decided this week?????

[PhatMack19]

#1 Corpus Christi Moody vs. #2 Corpus Christi Calallen face off in the Region IV Final.  These teams have been ranked #1 & #2 in the state all year and are both ranked in the top 5 in the nation.  Between them they have won 3 of the last 4 state titles, and a lot of people are saying the winner of this series will win another state title.

I bet there is one local team that isn't ready to just hand over the title to the winner of this series.

The research i've done on both these teams it very well could be!

[dawgnut]

I know what the stats say, but I wish I had a buck for every time the team that was picked to win without a doubt didn't!

[tvc184]

Obviously they are the big time favorite.

This will be a one game winner take all affair though. Get to the championship game and who gets a break might win it. Calallen lost a game in the Regional Semifinal by a score of 7-3. They beat Ray by a score of only 1-0. While Calallen is good, they are not unbeatable and some of their playoff games have been one swing away from a loss.

Moody has had a 4-2 game win this week. Again, a swing away from a loss.

While these teams are the easy favorite, in a one game winner take all, they are not guaranteed the championship.

I believe our team has the attitude of looking forward to, and accepting the challenge. Let's take care of Brenham first.

[tvc184]

Every team needs to take care of their next challenge. The thread isn't about Nederland but the #1 and #2 teams playing each other coming up and therefore, the "likely" de facto state championship.

[sportsman24]

So how many teams are left?

True enough. I was going by the last statement in the first post.

[outanup]

I believe there are only 8 teams left.

[dawgnut]

Region 1

    Fort Worth Arlington Heights

    Wichita Falls Rider

Region 2

    McKinney North

    Texarkana Texas

Region 3

    Nederland

    Brenham

Region 4

    CC Moody

    CC Calallen

[RoundRock89]

Should be a good game and we look forward to seeing CC Moody or Calallen in Round Rock...... along with Nederland I hope...

[KFDM COOP]

Texas High is loaded as well!

[EAGLE07]

Texas High is loaded as well!

Texas High is very loaded. I wouldn't overlook them...quite possibly the best pitching staff of the remaining teams.

[Guest coach07]

i'm guessing region 1 and 2 winners play each other and region 3 and 4 winners play each other?

[tvc184]

i'm guessing region 1 and 2 winners play each other and region 3 and 4 winners play each other?

I think it is 2/4 and 1/3.

[PhatMack19]

I'm not really sure how they decide who plays who.  My Freshman year we played Coppell(region 2), Jr. year we played Fort Worth Boswell(region 1) and Sr. year we played Calallen(region 4).  I thought they seeded the teams and played #1 seed/#4 seed and #2 seed/#3 seed, but thats been over 10 years ago, and it may different now.

[tinker21]

State pairings are based on season records...the UIL sets the match-ups.

[bzzboyz]

How bout' not putting the cart before the horse. If I remember correctly Lamar Consolidated was a shoe in for the state tournament.

[cubfan12]

No doubt bzzboyz!! It seems like every year, one of the two Corpus schools are penciled in as the 4A state champion before anyone has strapped on a batting glove.  Both are great programs, seen Moody many times in Brenham, and we all know what kind of history they have. Calallen is also very talented and it is their crown until somebody takes it away. Let's hope that Region 3 represents well, if not the Cubs, then Nederland. Let's bring the title back here, it's been awhile.

[East TX]

Moody won tonight in 4A

Also, Giddings beat Bellville, in 3A 1st game.

[PhatMack19]

Calallen won game 2, 6-2 to force a 3rd game. FW Arlington Heights swept WF Rider and will represent Region 1 in Round Rock. McKinney North defeated Texarkana 2-1 in game 1.  The Dogs have some work to do today if they want to meet up with these teams at state.

[Javelina]

The combined attendance for game 1 and game 2 of the Calallen and Moody series was 17,905 and they are expecting another 9,000 at todays game at Whataburger Field.

[PhatMack19]

That's crazy for a high school baseball game. Game 3 is already sold out!

[Javelina]

Moody wins game 3 14-4 5 innings

[KFDM COOP]

Good lord Moody is good!
