9 - 4A vs. 10 - 4A predictions

McKinney North over Rockwall in 3
Smith over Sherman in 3
Centennial over Heath in 3
McKinney over HP in 2

JoeMorgan---always a Big Red Machine fan but you need to tap the brakes a second.

First, the seedings haven't been set in either District. If HP beats Heath on Friday its a tie and they gotta figure who ends up 1 and who ends up 2. Not sure that its gonna happen but hey its baseball.

Two, even if HP gets run-ruled on Friday they are the number 2 seed. Best I can tell McKinney is the #1 seed in 9-4A no matter what so I'm not sure they will meet. But hey its been a few years since my last swim through this pool.

Short answer is that they are all pretty darn good teams and frankly next year the addition of McKinney and North (with the 2 Wylie teams) to 10-4A is going to make for a monster District. Will be fun to watch.

I've got no problem with predictions (as its fun to watch the fur fly---kinda like the Springer Show as my friends from Poteet like to say) but at least wait to get the match-ups right.

Having said that, HP has played well all year long (better than most thought they would play). The new coach has them believing in themselves. Will be fun.

Hey OD
That's last year's prediction's.

That was last year and as you can see they were not very good!!

I hate it when I'm wrong. You'd think I'd get used to it for as often as it happens.

However, as I always tell my wife my observations are still right

1. HP and Heath play Friday for the marbles
2. Both Districts and play-off match-ups still up in the air
3. Next year's 10-4A is a monster. (Beast the only thing that would make it better is to get you and the Bunny Rabbits back)
4. HP believes in themselves this year and are playing as a team. If only that had been the case the past 3+ years given the talent they had back then.

I hear ya.
As Grandpa Beast used to tell Grandma, " I ain't always right.... But I ain't never wrong. "

I would have to agree with you on that.

When we were in that district every Tuesday and Friday had a playoff atmosphere.
I am still trying to figure out why your coach didn't throw Kershaw against us his senior year. I was glad he didn't.

I think you have it wrong Joe, probably because you are from 10-4A and have not seen many of the 9-4A teams play this year. Here is how it will play out -- if in fact these are the matchups after Friday's play.

Mckinney will beat HP 2-0 -- HP doesn't have the bats to beat Mckinney

Heath will beat Centennial 2-0 -- Centennial has over achieved all year, they will compete but lose 2 in a row against a much better Heath squad

Sherman will beat N Smith 2-0 -- I don't think Smith will score enough runs VS Powell and Liss

Rockwall will beat North in 3 -- This will be a fantastic series but I think Rockwall takes it; drop off from Ladd is significant for North

I guess I didn't read very well either -- I'm a dumba.. We can rev this topic up on Monday when we know who is playing who!

Nuke that was just a 2010 mock playoff picture,right?

That's right! Kind of like that idiot Kiper's mock draft last week. I think I'll start working on my predictions for the Derby Saturday -- the post positions just came out so at least I'll have those correct!

Speaking of Kiper, I never could find anything after the draft on how he did. I would like to see how good his predictions were. I'm sure he only missed 3 or 4.

No way HP will play McKinney in 1st round. HP will play either Centennial, North, or Wakeland. HP wouldn't play McKinney until the 3rd or 4th round!

Still a chance HP would play Sherman in the first round. HP and McKinney would be in the 3rd round.

Go Pirates, I think in 10-4a, if JJP wins and Rockwall wins, both finish 7-7. Would there not be an extra game to determine the 4th seed? Rockwall did win both head to head.

Correction, Rockwall and JJP split their district games.

Pearce and Rockwall are fighting for the last spot and the chance to face McKinney in the first round. Rockwall should have an easier time against Greenville than Pearce will against Smith. HP has clinched the #2 seed and if they beat Heath they would be tied for first. The 2 vs 3 may be the best first round match ups in the area.

What round is a possible Mckinney vs Heath matchup?

5th round. That would be the Region 2 final. Assuming Heath wins 10-4A. Which I believe they will. Nobody can beat them this year.

Rockwall will have an easy win over Greenville, but JJP only lost to Newman Smith 4-5, and they still have some FIGHT in them!! SOOOOO, don't underestimate the MUSTANG SPIRIT!!!

So dano7051, which of Heath's starting pitchers is gonna lose to Sherman in order for the series to go to 3?

"So dano7051, which of Heath's starting pitchers is gonna lose to Sherman in order for the series to go to 3?"

It's just a prediction and I'm certainly not going to give you a name and make some momma or daddy upset..

I just have a feeling they are due for a loss and Sherman has some talent.. This type of thing happens in Baseball..

Won't Sherman have to play the looser of North and Wakeland to see who would get the 4th seed? Looks like there will be a pretty good team staying home after Saturday.

Just sayin',
Just heard that Spicer may have mono & that Renfro is having arm troubles. Is any of that true? If so, what do they have for a #3? Hard-nosed team over there, so I'm sure they have something in reserve.

Renfro just had a sore deltoid muscle earlier in the week, but with treatment recovered nicely. He pitched. Lost 4-3, had 12 strike outs , 3 hits . Awesome game! Yes, Spicer has mono

Sounds like a barn-burner. I heard that the bases were loaded in the last inning and NS had to make a couple of nice plays to wiggle free. Would have loved to see that one.

...a couple of lucky, being in the right place at the right time plays! Hated the loss, but if you are going to lose, that is the way to do it!!! Battling to the end! JJP should have been in, but had alot of tough breaks this year! Oh, well there is always more baseball!!

Does anyone have the results from the 9-4A mini playoff from yesterday?

Wakeland over Sherman 6-2 in the first game. Rain delay on the second game, I do not know what happened.

Second game is being played today.

Wakeland & Centennial play at 4:30 today to determine 3rd & 4th place.

where do they play

Frisco High School Stadium (Memorial)
