Coppell 5
Grapevine 4
I am sure someone else will post more of the box / line score details later. Coppell wins the Baylor Tournament to get the season started in good fashion. Kettler gets the win put the game ball should go to Hunter Boyle, the soph pitched great through 6 2/3 innings. This team isn't just about the seniors, Wil Abbott, a junior, shut-out Poteet earlier today, a freshman (Aikins)came up tonight and got a lead off walk in the bottom of the 7th and came around to score the tying run, Feemster a junior, had a key play to throw out a Grapevine player trying to stretch a single into a double.
Best play of the day was a line drive to right field that David Walsh charged to catch, he caught it diving and the ball popped up out of his glove and then he caught it again then he got up and throw back to first to get an inning ending double play.
It was a nice tournament all around and the two come from behind wins make it that much more special and sets a tone for this year.
Grapevine is a good team and they will beat a lot of teams this year but not the Cowboys tonight.
Congratulations Cowboys.

Cowboy Fan,
Were we both watching the same freezing cold game?
While neither team pitched their DI signee aces, Coppell had to bring in their ace Kettler to save their bacon in the 7th.
A much SMALLER Grapevine team hit as well, fielded as well, and played the Highly touted Cowboys even THROUGHOUT. It was too bad our normal closer had been battling the flu for two days and just didn't have it, but overall, it WAS your Seniors who pulled you through.
GHS made a statement.
Grapevine is a good team? I guess that Coppell is also just a good team.

Yes, it was the same freezing game, probably the coldest one I ever watched.
I agree with you that Coppell is a good team but they continue to grow towards being a very good team and they have a chance maybe to be a great team by the end of the season.
As for Grapevine,they used three senior pitchers, smaller or not. Coppell still has several pitchers and position players that are working their way back into the line-up or are still out with an injury. So measuring yourselves against this current good team and losing should give you cause to pause, not make a statement.
You should think more of your team and not less of Coppell. I remember several of your players being rather large as well with equally good skills. Most people I talk to that have sons playing in your district rate Grapevine as the team to beat and that is the way Coppell approached playing them last night. But please don't make excuses about losing, Grapevine is better than that.

Cowboy Fan,
I don't believe that you interpreted my comment correctly.
I am not making excuses about our loss, we had a great tournament, now 5 and 1, and WE also are continuing to grow as a team and hopefully we will improve also.
I am very proud of our guys and we played four juniors and a sophomore and pitched our #6 and #7 guys. We were out of pitching also.
What I was trying to point out, was we played Coppell EVEN, your initial statement does not reflect that.
Congrats to both teams and good luck on your season.
