5-5A

We play Grapevine tonight so I'll let you know tomorrow. Not that I know what im looking at or anything.

Oh and Keller is really good, we played them last week.

Grapevine has a number of strong bats and several nice pitchers -- they're a good team. Padia hit a grand slam against us on Saturday -- and their LO hitter sets the tone (Dane ?).

collikar -- did you rebook the spring training trip to NYC this year?

PD...oh aren't you the funny one!

Shhhh...I don't want everyone piggy-backing me to NYC. LOL And, what does LO stand for?

LO = lead-off, sorry to be technical.

Collikar I am glad you asked what "LO" meant,
I could not figure it out!!!

This thread needs to be shut down, six posts with no mention of 9-4A, 8-5A or 9-5A or how good Plano SHS is going to be.

edit...Plano SHS Poteet HS

CS -- you brought your A-game today -- and nice use of the message board TOOLS!

PD - Yeah, I think you meant smart "A", but I like the sound of A-game better.

PD

Would that have been Brad Padia....for the Grand Slam? Signed with San Diego...awesome catcher..

LO= Dane Wettig ...09...plays with the A's

Grapevine has some very good talent!

Yes, sorry if I misspelled his name -- SD catcher, nice tools. He's not a huge kid, but athletic -- and he looked good behind the plate. I like the LO hitter....hit to all fields. I didn't notice where he played defensively. We had a few good AB against the LH starter and scored a few runs without a hit.

PD, Actually the GV catcher who hit the Salami against East was #8 hitter Slusher not Padia. Padia hit #4, started at 1B, and bats left.

Cobra -- thanks for clarifying -- with no programs, names, etc....we were left to speculate. Based on your information, Padia is a good-sized kid. And Slusher is a good-looking player as well.

Slush-puppy is a competitor. He can catch, pitch, field and hit. He's the quiet type that'll sneak up and take a bite without you ever knowing you were bit.

Scrimmage at Pearce for Northwest today at 5:00PM?

Isn't the NW / Pierce game at NW? It should be very playable.

The Varsity game with Pearce is at Northwest!!!

Gracias.

Haven't seen Keller with my own eyes, going to try to break out of prison, er, I mean work and go watch today at 4pm.

Heard they beat FM and Boswell this weekend.

The people I have talked to say Keller looks very good...getting great hitting and very good early pitching. May be the team to beat in 5-5A along with Colleyville Heritage. Grapevine may not be far behind.

KD,
I hope you escape. I want to hear your unbiased assessment of the Indians Knights Indians.

Collikar:

Colleyville update.....Have not seen any Varsity roster yet. Very large senior class with 4 Jr. players to date. Everyone is playing..... hard to judge the team with so many coming in and out. Hitting looks better than last year. Pitchers are many ...

Have played Weatherford, Berkner, Lewisville, and Creekview tonight. We will play Bell and Boswell on Saturday....11:00 and 3:00

The Hebron scrimmage vs. Keller was postponed until tomorrow (Wed.) at 4 p.m.

Ah, one more day of wondering who in the world is going to pitch for this team. . .

kaleb merck is the number 1 for keller but our number 2 is a good question

everything you are hearing is true
we have good bats and our pitching is surprising

We scrimmaged Keller Central tonite.... Central will struggle this year in 5-5A. they had little offense and less pitching, Myers in CF was good. ***Bragging rights*** $T-money$ went the first 2 innings--6K's.

You all will have a nice, balanced team with a dominating starter. Good things lay ahead for you, even in that tough district. I was just kind of wondering who will step up for us on the mound, not just in a scrimmage but throughout the season. These things keep me awake at night.

At Northwest, we just hope our bus driver can find the fields at away games. Then the coach stares down the bench and finds a victim to send to the mound.

The moderators have elected tychco as this year's winner of "Sandbagger of the Year". Congratulations bud! You will do a nice job representing the HSBBWEB sandbaggers, following in the footsteps of last year's winner, 11sdad.

But I agree that one of the worst things to hear as the coach looks down the bench, trying to determine a replacement for his shelled pitcher......"NEXT!!!"

Your right PD he is sandbagging. I was at the game where the pitchers looked good and the balls were flying everywhere! Oh wait a minute, let me check my notes No I have it wrong, it was Fossil Ridge who looked good as we seem to be trying to figure out how to catch a ball. (Insert my son here) There were so many hit that we had a lot of chances to figure it out

On a side note, TYCHO'S son looked good at the plate last night 3-3 with a HR!

I just call 'em like I see 'em...they replaced the chain link backstop at NHS with thin glass because it was cheaper and no balls were getting back there fast enough to break it.

LMOA.....Your sarcasm license has reached the lifetime benefits level, and you are now being considered for the Hall of Fame....

Scott, How did Fossil Ridge look? especially need to know how Putnam and Avley were on the mound? defense, offense, ect..

I actually missed that one as tychcokid#2 had some hoops action, so my evaluation was second hand. Having said, my sources tell me Fossil looked good and we didn't. Alvey didn't throw against us...he threw against Mansfield in the first game of the day. My sources were not familiar with Putman so I don't know there. I need better sources, but she cooks good and is a good speller.

As a team, they hit ok, but they were good defensively. I think NHS only manged 4 or 5 hits, so they weren't challenged much. Delaney is a good guy and a good coach, so they should do well in their swan song season in 4A.

Hmmmm....Keller didn't impress me tonight. They booted the ball around, their guys that should be competing for the #2 spot weren't on their game. Not a single one of them. Not good news for Coach Stramp.

They did hit the ball, but Hebron must have scored 20 on them.

I know it's just a scrimmage, but it wasn't a good one.

Merck did look good. Lots of movement and I would guess he was cruising at 90. But that's not a Juggs or a Stalker, that's a dad sitting in the stands, me.

It was cold once that sun went down.

And from the other side of the stands. . .nice to see Hebron stroke the ball for a second straight game. Home runs by Putman and Tarpley in the same inning, two run-scoring doubles by McCarver (and a hit off Merck), and a two-run triple by Payne helped break it open.

Nice pitching from Padmore, Angus and Neyen - all of whom were on JV a year ago. It's just a scrimmage, but it made a long trip home a little nicer.

And, yes, Merck did look good. Great movement on his pitches.

I am really feeling sorry for Hebron and Keller...a 90 mph ace with movement on his pitches and multiple extra base hits all over the place...what are they going to do to salvage the season?

Paw,
Has C'ville not played since Saturday? What's the scoop? I hear Goldberg's tearing it up.

If they don't play better defense, it doesn't matter how good they hit or pitch.

Keller and Colleyville will still be the class of 5-5A, with Grapevine, Carroll and Richland fighting for the other two spots.

I don't think we have enough matching uniforms for varsity, but I think we have enough practice shirts to put masking tape numbers on them and use them for games.
