WOSgrad Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 I saw that the Brenham/Magnolia series will be played at "Mumford." Now I have heard of some very out of the way places, but never Mumford. I looked up on google maps and found a Mumford which is a 1A school about 15 miles northwest of Bryan. Is that really the Mumford that they are talking about? If so, why the heck are they playing there?
time2time Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Apparently Mumford High has a new, beautiful sports complex largely donated by John Randle (of Vikings fame).

But, baseball is one of the few varsity sports they offer.

I know that for sure! Well not sure how many spectators from other schools will be traveling that far out of the way to a 1A school. Hopefully the coaches know what they are doing... I also hope Long keeps the batting order the way he did in game 3 against Santa Fe. Those changes were great, and helped us put up 18 runs. Atleast there's no traffic from Brenham to Mumford! ;) :D
BrenhamFan Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Article from Banner Press...We almost got Minute Maid, but ended up with Mumford.... ??? ::) :-\Can you say disappointment! [b]Regional finals to be hosted by MumfordTuesday, May 31, 2011 1:15 PM CDTThe Brenham Cubs and Magnolia Bulldogs looked at playing their regional championship series at some of the biggest venues around, including Minute Maid Park, but will instead determine the Class 4A Region III championship at Mumford High School.Brenham (34-6-1) coach Jim Long said the teams looked at holding the best-of-three series at several collegiate stadiums, including Texas A&M, Sam Houston State and Rice, but none of those facilities could accommodate the series, and Minute Maid Park wasn’t available because the Houston Astros were inviting potential draftees to the stadium that weekend for workouts.So instead, the Cubs and Bulldogs will meet Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Mumford, a Class A school that features a $4 million facility. All three games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.Long warned that the stadium includes seating for just 750, so fans should come early and bring lawn chairs.The Cubs are attempting to make their third consecutive appearance in the UIL State Baseball Championships after defeating Santa Fe in a three-game series over the weekend. Brenham won the first game 14-5 but lost Game 2 by a 1-0 score. The Cubs won the rubber game 18-7.Magnolia, which finished second to Brenham in District 17-4A, is coming off a sweep of Friendswood. Brenham defeated Magnolia 7-1 and 4-2 during district play.[/b]
Guest UHCoog14 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 750? Heck Brenham had that many kids on the JV.
WOSgrad Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Posted May 31, 2011 Seating for 750, huh? Let's just say it is a good thing that Coach Long has continued the Cubs' winning ways or I would warn him that he might want to wear asbestos lined underwear for the next few days. LOL!From the Banner article, I noted that Cougar Field at UH wasn't mentioned....I know the Cubs have played there in the past and I think they could accommodate a series. I guess I shouldn't question two coaches who have managed to get their teams to a regional final, but the choice at this point kinda baffles me.
Guest UHCoog14 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 I believe the UH field is already being used in the 5A Region 3 finals.
