Rumor is Choplick will need Tommy John. But who knows with rumors.

Hope surgery is not in Choplick's future. Has certainly done enough pitching and growing to cause such an injury.

Denton High looks to be suffering from a lack of pitchers and some questionable coaching calls.

According to Denton RC today: http://www.dentonrc.com/shared..._0416.24fa8da00.html

Choplick did have surgery on Monday. Young is questionable for the rest of the season. Ryan's playoff picture does not look good.

Another fine job by MAB at Little Elm. In four years now he has gone 0-14, 0-14, 4-10 and 4-10 in District play. Are good coaches that hard to find? I hope not as my son has 2 more years there!

Stay classy San Diego!

WOW ---- IMAO I think ANY coach has to have talent to win consistently. Think about what is there and what is coming? How deep is their talent pool ??? That is how you know where you are going to stack up in the long haul. Just saying---frustration is usually the first loser.

Yep, definitely the coach's fault. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the players on the field.

Huevos....Where are you. Looks like it is Rider vs Heights heads up for the taco dinner?

Oops! WF Rider sweeps Arlington Heights, winning tonight 2-1.

Woooooo-hooooooooo, the road to the Regional Finals comes thru Lubbock Texas at Westerner Field!!! I get to see the Rider boys play from the best seat in the house..... ROHO!!!!! GED10DaD

Region 1

Rider sweeps Canyon, 8-4, 13-4

Legacy and Frenship split playing gm 3 tonight

WF Rider SP Cameron Allen (12-0) 3-hits Lubbock Frenship in GM1, winning 7-0. On 06/03, the Lubbock A-J reported Frenship HC stated Rider did not have a dominate pitcher on their roster, I guess they didn't scout Cam.... 6Ks, ZERO walks, facing 2 hitters over the minimum in a 76 (56 strikes) pitch complete game, where he threw 10 or fewer pitches in 4 innings.

They will most likely face Western OK State bound SP Reid Barnett in GM2. It's not going to get any easier.

ROJO!!! GED10DaD

GED10-

Is Western Oklahoma State good?

I know Rider is good.

Western OK State in juco d11 World Series?

I have been watching Allen and the kid has been the man. His only no decision was a 5-5 tie with Guyer and he ended up with the GWRBI in extras!

Somebody is going to get a player in 2011. He is with Blacksox in summer so check him out. He does not have the size or the body most D1 guys want...but check his heart.

Broke several school records at the plate too!

Western Okla State is a really good program. They've spent the entire season ranked in the top 5 nationally.

As far as Cameron Allen goes: tons of talent, great work ethic and miles and miles of heart. He is getting tons of interest from schools. Somebody is going to get one heck of player with this guy.

Thank you for the clarification. Can't say I'd ever heard of it. There seems to be a zillion JC's in Texas and Oklahoma, and keep up with which ones are good, which ones are DI/DII/DIII whatever is tough.

Luckily, he's just a baby and he's still growing!! The kid does not have "no" in his vocabulary. Sometimes, size only matters when they are getting off the bus.

I am not a fan of polls/lists, etc., but since you asked? Yes, they are good. They are ranked higer than Iowa Western, Crowder, Howard, Hutchinson, Temple, etc. W. OK State enters the DII World Series 53-5 with a #1 national ranking. They have posted 2 wins over Longview (2007 DII National Champs), 3 over New Mexico JC (2005 NJCAA DI National Champs & 2007 R/U),2 wins against Tyler JC (2008 DIII National Champs), and 2 wins against Seminole State (2009 NJCAA DI World Series). They were 19-1 in conference play and 7-0 in post season play.

Yes, lots of good opportunities to play college ball in the sunny southern region!!

Thanks for the insight sir! Sounds like a nice Juco program.

rider 1st to punch ticket in 4A.

13-3 over Frenship in 5. Scary thing...they have 7 returning starters Next Year including Allen and Gage Green.
