Its my company's name. In honor of a chopper pilot from Vietnam.
Mav - I remember that it was your company's name but didn't remember that it was honoring a Vietnam pilot. That is a very nice tribute. I am glad to hear it was not honoring Tom Cruise in "Top Gun". 
Danny.....that is slow....real slow.
Check out the song "Cheaps Seats" on itunes by Alabama.

I agree 100%. UTA was always known as a commuter school. That has somewhat changed. The campus is great and the baseball field is second to none. I was very impressed with the coaching staff and they are looking towards the future and are very committed to signing home grown talent.
I have updated our list again. Pierce Shivers of Grapevine Faith Christian School has signed with Cisco Junior College. We are proud of Pierce and very thankful he is playing in our program...
Congrats to Pierce Shivers, the catcher from Grapevine Faith. 
Way to go Pierce... Great player, Great person and Great Family...
Preston Beck signs with UTA.

UTA sweeps this weekend to move into a tie for second place. Major team improvement from last
year...Go Mavs...

Evil is correct but I prefer the "Dartmouth Demon"
Good luck to Drew and Brodie... They will have a great summer coach.
plano,
I agree with the part about supporting your kid and that your son should be in charge of his own scene, but our experience with DBAT couldn't be any more opposite than yours with the Marshals.
Mine played for DBAT 17U last summer. During December of his junior year, Cade Griffis held a meeting and explained the whole recruiting process. The team probably played 50 games last summer. I would say all but two were attended by college/pro scouts and recruiters, and most of those were numbered in the 8-10 range in attendance.
Cade, Kermit and the coaching staff did everything possible to not only get the scouts there, but develop the relationships and find out where the kid wanted to go, and whether that would be a fit. They stayed in constant contact with these guys to make sure nothing fell through the crack.
No doubt that the kid make the ultimate decision and take some action on his own, but DBAT gave mine many opportunities...he just had to take advantage of it.

Agree 100% tychco. Older son's 17U team had 15-18 players, can't remember exactly. If I remember correctly, I believe they got every player signed somewhere. Right PD? Obviously, the players had to do some work on their own. But the DBAT staff worked their rear ends off for these young men.
Younger one is coming up now and I wouldn't want him anywhere else!

It is my pleasure to announce that Tait Norris of Rowlett HS has signed with Western Texas JC and Sam Hansen of Waco Midway HS has signed with THE University of Texas - Arlington.
Trivia:
Sam Hansen is the son of Stan "The Lariat" Hansen of wrestling fame, from back in the day...
Discussion Topic:
What if "The Lariat" and "Evil" Dave Ostroff have an issue after a game in which "The Lariat" is not happy with sons playing time? Does Dave challenge Dad to a no holds barred match, winner take all? It is something to ponder...

I can help in that area.
All you need to do is look at my cell phone bill.
Thank goodness the company pays the bill.
Asking for a raise regards,
Me no habla pay raise...
Pay raise for Guthrie? You oughta pay the players who had to coach themselves in Phoenix after Guthrie AND his assistant got thrown out of the elimination game!

It was so hot, I needed to hit the showers early.
Heck, I tried to get him to toss me in the 4th but he wouldn't do it. I think he knew the slide rule he was enforcing was incorrect.
When you can't buy a hit off a guy throwing 81mph, sometimes coaches resort to different tactics to rally the troops. Although, I'm proud of myself for not saying one cuss word the whole time. Being a father has rubbed off on me in a positive way I guess.
Hope it doesn't happen again, but I won't promise anything.
As one that saw it live....it was a great show. Especially when you tore into the tournament director too. You could here a pin drop in the stadium. All that "Home Cooking" by them...well lets just say you got your licks in!

Don't you love it when umpires defend their case even when they know they're wrong! Classic, and yes, I bet that cell phone bill is extremely high.
Jerry Owen Prestonwood going to McLennen.
Congrats... Wonderful parents and great kid. I'd take him on my team any day.

Couldn't agree more, Maverick. Jerry's a terrific kid and a heck of a baller. He's the kind of kid you want your kid to be around.
