Barbers Hill VS Brenham... Game 2 Updates/Barbers Hill advances!!

[ragarm55]

Possibly in reference to Coach Long's retirement announcement after the game last night.  What a storied program Brenham Baseball has been during his tenure.  Hope this forum doesn't lose BrenhamFan.

BH, you keep on impressing folks!

[bronco pride]

Good job bh im about to learn how to chant we can we will in my best im better than you voice. Keep it rolling against lc or galveston ball. If yall meet montgomery down the line that should be a good series but after the way yall handled brenham I dobt see any reason the region isnt barbers hills to lose. Good luck. There that didnt hurt so bad.

I'm not going any where!  ;) Looks like Magnolia West gave Montgomery a couple of close games, but in the end it wasn't enough.  We played below average and BH played great.  Even if we played our best, im not sure could have taken the Eagles this year.  They are playing phenomenal baseball right now, and will win the region and maybe state if they play the same way they played us.  Montgomery will present a challenge and if they let up at all, the Bears could take the region.  Montgomery can match one of BH's pitchers, but I'm not sure their bullpen has the depth to take the series.  I saw in the paper that Long's retirement was recommended by his dermatologist, to avoid skin cancer.  He did a lot for our program, and he'll go down as a big part of Brenham's history.  As for us falling off...  I doubt that will happen.  We have talent, and have a good returning core for next year.  Somebody will be given the keys to a Porsche and will be told just not to crash it.

One question for brenham fan. Is montgomery that much better than sf. Also I havent heard much about gb until recently but looked at their record and they had some quality wins and a really good record. I was going to wait until the next round to go check out a bh game but tha ball series might be a better one than I first thought. Hope bh stays focused.

I saw Montgomery both times they played us, (2-1 & 6-3, but both games were close) and I saw Santa Fe play 4 games in our tourney.  We beat Santa Fe 10-0 in 5 innings when we played them, and LCM should have beaten them, but had a late game collapse. Between the 2,  Montgomery was honestly the better team by far.

  Barbers Hill is playing great, defense has been awesome, bats need to stay steady.  With 4 teams making the play-offs in each district and having 6 rounds before the State tournament, makes it tough.  As  Brenham passing the torch,  all teams have a long way too go before anyone can touch what Brenham has done over the last 25 years, it is amazing when you look at the number of wins and championships they have, to have a down year and make it 3 deep, most teams don't make it that far with the best teams that have come through their school.  Brenham will be back at the top next year again.  I dont see any team left with the pitching depth of BH or a defense like BH, if they can keep the sticks awake and stay steady at the plate they have a great chance of winning Region III.  BH has been fun to watch, just a lot of good players coming together and doing what it takes to win. Great all around TEAM..

[Eagle0011]

Does anyone know how many other BH team has made it 4 deep and what year.  I thought the 07 team made Regional finals in the 4th or 5th round, but dont know the number of rounds that regional finals were back then. Hard to find any history on BH.

[Monkeynuts]

In 2007 Barbers Hill played Montgomery in Regional Semi's 4th Round. Montgomery won the series in three and lost to (Regional Final) Texas City in three on a walk off homerun in extra's to go to state.

Brenham Coach Jim Long announced last night on our post game show that long time assistant Lanny Williams has been offered and accepted the head coaching position of the Brenham Cubs for 2013 on.  Well deserved and well earned from one class man the baseball is passed to another class act.

That's great news!  Lanny knows his baseball and I can honestly say, our program is in good hands.  Congrats to coach Williams!  Us Cub fans are behind you.

One ranked down, one more to go. Guess I need to go swordfishing and tuna fishing more often.

We would have beat them by 10 had the wind not been blowing 30mph in the field.

[Monkeynuts]

I do remember Barber Hill that year had a real good team (great pitching) and both those games could have went either way.
