For those interested in going to the game, it will no longer be played at McKinney.
The future site is still pending, fyi.
OldDude - welcome to the site -- finally! 
The coaches are trying to get their teams to state. Apparently, the Poteet coach favors a one-game series against this opponent. He won the toss. It's all a part of the process.
Word is....HP won 1 of 5 coin tosses -- the venue. And now hookem tells us that is up in the air!
Oh my. Don't you love HS baseball???

They should try the middle of Lake Ray Hubbard...it is dryer than most fields now.
Thanks for the welcome. Will try to behave but might lob one in just to see the reaction every now and then.
HS baseball in Texas has been and continues to be an interesting ride.
Guess you could say this is the rubber match anyway? Poteet wins 1st district game 2-0 at home on two unearned runs with Poteet Ace on the bump. HP wins re-match 8-3 at home with their now #1 on the hill but not against Poteet #1 due to scheduling. (Think Poteet wishes they had taken HP more seriously at that point in the season and killed the HP run when they had a chance? Think Mavs-Golden State.)
Will be most interesting with a one and done format for sure.

We figured that either Frisco, Texarkana, Nacogdoches, or Brownwood would do that. I guess the guys in the other region finals aren't good at flipping coins. 
Oh yeah, were not afraid. 
Should be a good game.

That it will. Best of luck to Poteet.
Either team will represent the District well in Austin. But...we'll let you know how it is

Resist the temptation to be like them, Sandy.
This thread is too hostile.. Where's the love , can't we all just get along, and focus on the real enemy, the teams from the south 
joking of course. I am staying out of this one, McKinney will be back in the hunt next year and probably stronger. Not gonna stir up any bad karma here..

DMN website still shows the game at McKinney Al-Alford at 7:00 is this not correct?
Can't trust the DMN
The coaches will decide on the new site in the morning.

NEVER trust the media
yeah we got beat, and? you guys played better the last two games, and how did that first game go... was the nice park with a good surface too much to handle? I think all of the errors came on the bad hops off the RR field, you never can trust a pro stadium these days.
Wait wait wait, who does the coaching? not you of coarse, leave it up to the coaches to make the right and wrong decisions, its their job not yours isnt it?

One more thing to Poteet...
The sport is called baseball, not softball for a reason. Yeah it might be some hardcore "gameplan" to do immature chants and raves about sideburns, but when those kids hit college, that wont fly. They are taking the fun out of the sport, making it just a big "****" talking contest. Be quiet and let your playing to the "****" talking, thats the best gameplan if there ever was one.

PD, Thanks for the advice. It's hard for us Momma bears to not protect our own.
Oh, by they way...I heard the game was going to played at Tillery.
Sorry PD. The temptation was too great!

Sorry Sandy just defending my team from (2) jackazz'.
Sandy I think you may be right about that field. You know that would be a neutral site. 
I actually heard it might be in Kilgore.

ipforkeeps, its called the best of three for a reason.
Have played in Kilgore this year. Nice stadium (but nothing special) but its a haul to get there. Would be a shame if such a big game between 2 local teams was played so far from home and their respective fan base.
Surely there is some place closer.

I sure hope they don't play it out there. Why not use one of these TCL fields in the area. Maybe The Gabe at Craig Ranch. There has to be something closer. If they do play it out there guess I will be listening on the radio or the internet. Here is the link if anyone out there wants to listen.

Poteet's field can be ready for Friday you know we have CARPET.
Beast--Poteet's is more old carpet than turf.
HP is turf. (FYI, rumor is they turf the OF this summer. Gotta keep up with Jesuit you know.)
HP played on it yesterday so my guess is that it can be ready now. Let's play there?! But given history we're not gonna flip for it.
The Gabe is a great idea. Do they tarp it?

OD- I am sure they do tarp it. It very well maintained. We got to play a 16U tournament on it 3 weeks ago. What a great place to play and watch a game.
I thought they were going to do that last year. Ya'll don't have enough seats for the crowd.

Beast,
I think they want the visitors to set in that little section way down the first base line.
Beast/P1---was thinking more like Gordo's parking lot down Lovers.
On the turf, finally got the football boys to sign-off on the OF turf is what I'm told. (Freshman football uses OF in the fall for practice given space limitations). Having said that, I'll believe it once they start moving dirt.

Does Gordo's have beer? 
Yeah you know football comes first.I can't believe they make the freshman practice on real grass.
Poteet fans; beer and HP opponent. Let me get back to you on new seat assignments.

"They" have been saying for a few years now we were getting our field redone new turf and some other upgrades. Maybe if we can ever bring back a state championship they will.
No way they are going to spend that money on an indoor facility for Mesquite High football.

We played at Colleyville Heritage (very nice field) a few weeks ago and all I can say is you better get there early if you want a seat.
