Guest kountzemania Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Try outs this Saturday with a practice Friday after school...come out and support
aTmfan06 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 Im expecting great things from this years team
Guest kountzemania Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 IT IS GOING TO BE DRIVEN BY A YOUNG PITCHING STAFF. BUT I THINK THAT THE TOP END OF THAT PITCHING STAFF IS PRETTY SALTY. tWO SOPH. PITCHERS E. FRANKLIN (RT.) AND A. MARSHALL (LT.) BOTH KIDS MID TO UPPER 80'S CRUISING VELOCITY. FYI...BOTH LISTED ON PERFECT GAME.
Guest kountzemania Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Kountze Lions try outs was a great deal of fun over the weekend and Coach Kirby and Franklin did a good job working together. Now for the completely unofficial scouting report.Leading the Lions infield should be Seniors Cole Williams and Braden Franklin along with Franklins younger brother Soph. Ethan. All three had All District Honors Last Year. The outfield should be lead by Senior Tyler Brown joined by All District Player, Soph. Austin marshall. Catching duties will seemingly fall on Senior Jessie James. The Lions pitching staff lead should fall on last years 1st team All District pitcher Ethan Franklin and Left hand man in this case Austin Marshall. What stands out about these two kids is they are both Soph. with very nice velocity. At the plate it looks like the Lions will have a dependable line up. In my opinion, but in no particular order, Franklin x 2, Marshall, Brown, and Williams should pull the Lion share of the load. Over all the Lions look to be in good shape this year with potential to make a run for District and post district play. On another note, the Lions have very nice group of Younger sub varsity players. Kountze Lions Ball looks to have a bright future.

Guest kountzemania Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Only over rated if you don't have it. Don't get wrong you have to off speed to go with, but needed!!!
Guest kountzemania Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 scrimmage Feb. 4th against HJ. New coach at HJ things should be pretty good. Nice to take a look at depth.

And he doesn't cruise there by any means. I saw a very smart pitcher in him with decent velocity and an exceptional baseball IQ.
Guest kountzemania Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I know marshall showed 85 on PG and I think Franklin 86 I was told about the upper 80's on Franklin occurred in Fort Myers http://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=346746http://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=350135first link is marshall and second link is franklin
Guest kountzemania Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 of course one makes a bit of assumption on cruising velocity after kids have worked all thru the off season and arms have gotten stronger. marshall had drop in velocity early fall but it was my understanding that the kid was playing football at the same time so i am sure fatigue had a role in that. Nevertheless bothh kids have gotten stronger from what i have seen and been told.
eagleswoodville#1 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I could believe that about Franklin. He has always been a natural baseball player. This Marshall kid, I have my doubts about. But a hard-throwing southpaw is always dangerous. I.E. Colby Price last year. Kountze is set up for a good year this year. Now we will see if the coach can put it all together and live up to the potential.
Guest kountzemania Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Velocities on perfect game are pretty dependable bit I understand Marshall threw at Lamar's prospect camp and was pretty impressive with velocity but your right time will tell
