Tryouts are done.

Practice has started and the weather is cold and wet.

T minus 30 day’s here in Georgia. 

Oh...and rumor has it there is an intra-squad game today. I might try to sneak over and watch a little of it. 

This is so different than here in NE Ohio.  Forecast this weekend is for a foot of snow lol.  But regardless of weather, what about basketball?  There is a little overlap but for the most part, the Ohio HS Athletic Association rules do not permit one sport seaon to start until the other is done (other than playoffs).  There are still at least 40 or so days left in the regular HS basketball season (not counting playoffs) - and you're starting baseball practice already and games in 30?  That's cool by me, just noting that it is different.  What about the boys who play both basketball and baseball (perish the thought)?

It really depends in Texas on the school from what I see, but baseball season practices are rolling. If you play basketball and baseball, you're an odd combination. From my experience players do football and baseball all the time (sping/fall) but basketball and baseball is a rare breed. Since the practices overlap, to make most HS varsity teams and do both, you likely have to be a very talented baseball player. Not saying that's true everywhere, but at bigger schools, like last year 5A state champions, you likely wouldn't make the team if you played basketball.
