I am assuming the playoffs start next Thursday. Who are some of the first and second round matchups we are looking at.

I think it's a given that Southlake Carroll (4th seed District 6-5A) will play Colleyville Heritage (1st seed District 5-5A) in Round 1. They played about a month ago with SLC coming back to win 8-7 in a wild finish. The two used to be district foes and the schools are less than 10 miles apart...should be fun.
A non-district win on a Saturday means nothing.
Give me Colleyville in a sweep...pitching is too strong.

CH should be favored, but so were all of the teams SLC beat last year on the way to the 5A finals. Opinions are like "A" holes...everyone has one. We'll see if yours is correct.
I don't have a dog in this fight and I know and like players on both teams.
I know SLC had a great season last year, but many of those players are gone...especially on the bump.
Colleyville Heritage probably had more talent last year, but it didn't jell. They have veteran pitching and seemingly less of a "diva" factor.
Might be a good series, but the CHHS pitching tells me they take this one. But I don't know if any other 5-5A teams move on against 6-5A, to be honest.
Keller against either Marcus or FM might be a fun one to watch, but I would think FM or Marcus would be favored.
Coppell against the 4 seed from 5-5A (Grapevine or Fossil Ridge) will be ugly.

CH can go 4 deep with quality pitching. Teams are going to have a hard time matching up with them in a 3 game series.
Any word on how Zach Bellinger is recovering from his injury ???

If my memory serves me it was 7-1 in the bottom of the seventh and Southlake came back with a vengence! They will see a very different line up! SL players never give up and came back and won many games like that last year.
Thanks for the vote of confidence in CHHS pitching!
