This maybe a stretch, but give me the winner of the championship game to win it all...in both classifications.

For 4A, I predict Corpus Christi Calallen, which is currently ranked #19 in the country by ESPN. A perennial powerhouse, Calallen has two great arms:

Adam Hoelscher (LHP) 6’3/175 – Was injured last year and didn't get to pitch. Played for Columbia Angels last summer and signed with A&M-Corpus Christi. His brother plays for TCU.

Jordan John (LHP) 6'2/190 - In 2008, he went 11-1 with a 1.47 ERA, 85 2/3 IP, and 125 K's. He has signed with Oklahoma.

Coppel in 5A
Callalen in 4A

i'm looking for the DISD sweep:
dallas skyline in 5a and dallas conrad in 4a
sorry...couldn't help myself. i never bet on even money.

i know nothing about region 3 but the darts i threw came up with this for region finals.
birdville vs ryan in region 1
rockwall vs texarkana in region 2
calallen vs moody in region 4

Region 1 - Birdville
Region 2 - Waco Midway
Region 3 - Lake Travis
Region 4 - Calallen

Well I have seen both Birdville and Coppell


No way on Birdville, mostly offense not much good pitching............

Coppell? Yeah d-1's and all but right now they look a little like they believe their clippings. They are beatable, its not automatic. I just don't think they do it.

I was disappointed with Waxahachie too.

Too early to tell who will show up from up here in NT just yet. There are some bad assumptions being made about some schools that have been baseball powers. They have been written off, but they are playing well and will get better as the new blood gets their feet wet.

Jury is out.

Plano West just made Coppell look very ordinary according to folks in GP. If not for 5 PW errors, PW would have 5-0, instead of 5-3.

How about that since 04' 4A Champs have come from Region 4 and blown out opponents a combined 37-7 in the state finals. the tough road has been getting to state out of region 4 in 4A, the rest of the way like I said has been a cake walk and those are the facts

I don't have a dog in the fight, but didn't Plano West just beat Coppell with Coppell's #1 on the mound? Or, am I miss-informed?

I also think the Corpus C. teams are always dominant.

In a 1 game series, it will be tough to beat Z. Lee and McKinney.

Very true. And this year -- in addition to Calallen and Moody -- you have C.C. Ray, a very talented team which just moved from 5A to 4A. Lots of top state contenders concentrated in one relatively small area.

PW errors thursday and PW errors Friday. You might try being more humble because if PW doesn't clean-up it's defense that will be a major stumbling block for them this year.

Yes Jakey, everyone that knows baseball, or how to use the UIL athletic site, knows that the south has been a contender or champion in 4A baseball for several years. That's a great tool for predicting champions. I just thought you might have some insight that the rest of us didn't have access too.

From what I saw this weekend, Coppell has their work cut out for them to get to the championship. Good team but could not get it together this weekend against Plano West or The Woodlands.

There was some good HS ball played at Grand Prairie this weekend but some good teams for sure.
