The 14-5A stuff gets a little old.
So, how about you NE Tarrant county folk. Any predictions for this year?

Colleyville probably has the best pitching in the district with Russell, Williams and Eads so I'd figure the Panthers to battle for the top spot.
Keller should be tough. Heard you got a "big" mid-year transfer. The Indians also return some key parts to last year's playoff team; Stramp, Ward, Philippi and Galler. Pitching might be tough to replace but I hear Ward should step right in.
Grapevine might battle for a playoff berth but that's a tough team to read off of last years result; 1st year in 5-A. Kervin, T.Kreder Rodgers and M.Kreder should provide pop at the plate but not sure what else they've got.
Trinity always manages to be there, but besides Guest and Griffin I don't know much about the returnees.
LD Bell returns Widman and Bayuk and like Trinity, they usually are in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Not expecting much from Haltom, Fossil Ridge and Boswell.

Bosewell may suprise you this year, they have the potential to be better than last year,
they have some guys healthy that weren't last year, and some pretty good underclassman coming up.
I am not sure if they will contend but should be much better, time will tell.

Bosdad,
Didn't mean to offend, just don't know alot about the team. Dillon Smith can flat-out hit, but don't know much about the rest of the squad. Also know that many sr's graduated; including most of your pitching.
I do know you have a coach who will get the most out of the squad.
Best of luck!

Dad, no offense taken, you are right about Dillion, but they only lost one pitcher last year, the other starter is a senior this year and the only lefty that they had last year was dealing with a shoulder injury that should be healed now.
Like I said I don't think that they will set the world on fire but should contend and may suprise some folks.
BTW, my son is the lefty, he played right and center last year but could not pitch, he has thrown this last fall and was starting to get it all back together so hopefully he will be back on track.

Colleyville
Trinity
LD Bell
Keller
Grapevine
Fossil
Haltom
Boswell
In that order

I think you need to move Keller to the top.
and Boswell is better than 8th.

........you really are Hunting Wabbits....
Boswell and Fossil Ridge have been 4A for two years!
BTW...Chuck Somheat had elbow inflametion and will now be throwing lefthanded! His sister catch(Freshman) will be Varsity starter behind the plate!

I too think Colleyville is the team to beat in 5-5A. Keller will be in the hunt. The rest will be a dog fight. Hope we are not the runts of the litter

Long time ago, Stramp is at Lubbock Christian, Ward at BYU, Philippi at NM State I believe and Galler who had the skills to play college ball gave it up to go to A&M.
The transfer he talks about is Jon Edwards who was drafted and playing pro ball. T. Kreder at TCU, M. Kreder at Texas Tech.
Like going down memory lane.
My thoughts exactly, KD.
I taught several of those boys at KMS.
Another great player in that class that moved either back to California or to Arkansas was Alex Squires. Don't know if he continued with the game or not.
Amazing...

Regarding the other G'vine boys mentioned "back in the day," Kervin is the starting SS at TCU and Rogers (depending on which brother the poster was referring to) was with the Cardinals organization for a while and his younger bro was at 'Bama playing ball, but last I heard an injury got in the way....
