Nope, won't say it. I just think there were some bad coaching decisions that came back to haunt the boys.
Why would you bring Ward cold off of Third base when he hasn't closed a game all year? And when you planned on using him for your 3rd game starter?
Or for that fact, why not start him in the second game and go for their throat?
And the biggest thing, and this may go to your underachievers statement, is they left WAY too many runners on base.
This team wasn't picked to even win their district, or by some, even to move on to the playoffs. They weren't ever in anyone's top 25 teams in the state. Heck, they only picked 4 kids off this team for all district because of the politics of the situation here.
But somehow they tied to win the district, and they took 3 games to get eliminated.
Hey, Marcus played two good games, even though thier coach nearly bit off more than he could chew when he decided to go after one of the Keller players in our dugout. What an idiot.
Stafford will be a Junior next year, and Asbell and Sowell will compete for the number two spot. Kreder and Edwards will do nothing but get better between now and next year and you have only 4 seniors graduating to replace and a huge amount of talent fighting for those 4 spots.
All in all, I think next year is the year.
