Critter Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Congrats Matt, and make us proud......
GingerSnap Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 [b]BC's Hicks signs with U of L-Lafayette [/b]http://therecordlive.com/article/Sports_Outdoors/Local_Sports/BCs_Hicks_signs_with_LSULafayette/54560Matt has worked very hard for this achievement. His respect and dedication to the sport has consumed every part of his life. I was afraid he would not see this day after breaking his leg in 2004. Few people know he spent time in the hospital in 2001, quarantined with meningitis. He doesn't let anything stand in the way of his dream. One thing not mentioned in these articles is the fact that he is in the top 5% of his senior class. With a GPA well over 3.5, he will receive "Academic Aid" which waives all out of state tuition. Matt was awarded a "[i]full-ride[/i]" scholarship, not very common in baseball from what I understand. I'd like to personally thank all of you that have supported Matty and enjoyed watching him play for the past 12 years. Matt's very proud mom
AJ25 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Played against him for 3 years.. Very tough competitor on the mound and at the dish.
Guest VBC1522 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Congrats to Matt. I've heard he is a very kind and respectful young man. That is much more important than his tremendous baseball skills. The kid can play. I wish him the best and I hope to see him playing in the big leagues one day. If that's you dream, never give up!!!
BCcardbacker Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Congrats Matt! Awesome kid and even more awesome baseball player! Thanks for the years of seeing the amazing plays, the incredible pitching and the smile you always have when complimented! Good luck and I know we'll see you in the big leagues in a few years!
59n Sports Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Congrats Matt. I don't know you but I have a 12 year old tat loves baseball and I preach to him about grades. Glad to see you a star in the classroom and on the field. Best of luck in the future.

CATS80 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Way to go Matt! Going to my home town. That's great. You Will definitely make it a better place. Not that it was a bad place to start with ;D. But your presence will improve the population. Great job. And congrats to a great young man.
Guest Ititarod Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Another [u]Orange County[/u] boy ! Hicks, Hester, Felts and Statum all sign with top D1 programs.
Bucof2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I dont follow Baseball but this kid must be a beast from everything I read on here about him. Congrats

Two very solid leftys in SETexas.
Dog4Life Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 One solid lefty, one solid righty......

Guest GCMPats Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 If Hester is back to form, Vidor will have a #1 starter that can match up with anyone in the area.I have not seen Hicks pitch, but he sounds like a double dog stud.Congrats!
Critter Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 NO doubt Hicks, Hester, and Bellow are the top Three pitchers in the area by far......
PhatMack19 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 [quote name="Critter" post="739250" timestamp="1262781031"][b]NO doubt[/b] Hicks, Hester, and Bellow are the top Three pitchers in the area [b]by far[/b]......[/quote]I agree, but I wouldn't say by far with no doubt. Kane Benoit(PN-G & Lamar), Shane Waddell(LC-M), Logan Johnson(HF) will all pitch in college. That's not including Jace Statum(OF) and Reggie(WB) that can both get it done on the mound, but will most likely play outfield in college. This area is blessed with a lot of talent on the mound this year, it should be a great year to be a baseball fan.
Critter Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 I'll stick with my thread until the others bring something to the table and prove me to be wrong.
