How does everyone think the rest of the season will play out? Plano West seems to have had the upper hand so far throughout district play, but who else does everyone think will lock up playoff spots before the season is over?

Plano has a really tough hill to climb. So besides the obvious West I'll go with East, Allen & Wylie. Haven't seen Wylie play yet but looks like they've pulled it together nicely and they beat BHS 11-0.
I think Wylie is playing better...but Berkner has Richardson and LH to play and they should win both. Wylie will have to win 3 of their next 4 which means beating LH, Plano, and either East or West. That will be tough.

Good point. However, BHS lost to LH 6-4 and squeaked by RHS 4-3 so wouldn't surprise me if they dropped one or both of those games. Wylie gets East at home and was only a 2-0 game last time.
Either way gonna be a squeaker for sure.

Yeah you are right. Berkner seems kinda hit or miss. Wylie's hitting is inconsistent as well but Feckley should be on the mound against East so i will give them a fair chance.

Wylie and Allen could go either way, but I'm pretty sure both teams will make the playoffs. Wylie's hitting has come around and Allen should be able to put losses to BHS and Wylie behind them and finish strong.

Isn't Plano basically eliminated having dropped 2 to Allen and BHS and splitting with Wylie?
Four 1 run district losses are tough.

CW -- yes, the race is down to 5 teams.
It's a three team race for third and fourth and I think Allen might take third based on who their playing their final three games and Wylie should take fourth even though they have stiff opponents their next two games this week, they have won six in a row and have been tough to compete with over the past 3 weeks.
Question though: If Wylie and BHS and Allen finish with the same records, which two would win playoff spots?

I want to thank those who have so graciously blasted Richardson on these posts. From the early season "9 kids from the park could beat RHS" to the most recent Big Red post. Many of our players read these posts regularly, and enjoy most of the posts. They know how their season is going, but to continue hearing about it only makes things worse.
We hear it from Plano reporters, fans and even the posters on this forum. My wife and I actually heard two parents at a recent game (in a city to the north of Richardson) say "they suck at everything", IN FRONT OF OUR PLAYERS...funny thing is the one who said it was a MOM.
I am not asking for any pity, as we are part of this becasue we want to be. If winning were the key to our participation with HS athletics, we would simply move or go private. What I am looking for and expecting (which I don't think is out of line) is a bit more class as it relates to the "bottom feeder" programs, as we are so affectionately referred to. Remember, the kids are the ones effected by the positive and negative we all have to offer.

rfc3,
I get where you are coming from, but I believe RHS gets a little more respect than what you might think. Yes, there are a few numbskulls on this board that try to be funny without regard to the schools in their posts. But, I don't think Plano East was thinking "bottom feeder" when you were ahead 1-0 going into the 6th. Or were we when it took all we had in Sherman to win 4-0. I have several friends in the 9-5A district, and without question their sentiment is, ya we should win, but it is not a cake walk like in years past. I, for what it is worth, believe RHS to be competetive to say the least. AND, this is coming from a Pearce grad 1982.

rfc3 - You make some good points and I agree....each kid puts their heart and soul on the line for each game they play and none deserve to be put down for their efforts.
You are in a tough district ... hang in there!

Appreciate the comments...we have gotten better and will continue to do so. We do bring much of our demise upon ourselves, and for that we are our own worst enemy.
I am simply a big proponent of using forums like this one to highlight, spotlight and question the greatness of the game. Off-handed comments and jokes are going to be part of it, I get that and try to be open to jock-u-larity. After all, if you can't laugh at yourselves sometimes, what is it all worth?

I'll reiterate Robert's post -- Richardson is NOT a pushover. They have several talented players and they know how to play the game right. We escaped at East with a late inning rally.
rfc3 -- it might help if they could move your fences back, eh?

Coach Hope is one of the BEST around and an even better person. 
rfc3, in many ways I know your pain/frustration. We too, have great kids who battle every game and show alot of class in wins and losses. Wish I could say that about every team in our district!!! 
rfc3 just so those posters to whom you have reference remember what goes around comes around, RHS will have their day in the future. It's nice sometimes to tell those folks I told you so.

SWAC,
I certainly hope that holds true for all struggling programs and not just RHS.
rfc3,
Although you mentioned a mom in your comment, you know you get a lot of "kids" on here posting with a lot of those comments. It all has a funny way of working itself out (re: PESH/Richardson game and the late rally needed, etc.). My thoughts are with you though come next year as you get to deal with the Dallas folks from now on...and you thought the kids North of you had a bad attitude!

I'm sorry if you were offended by my posts. I wasn't trying to make fun of Richardson in any way. My comment was more aimed at how ridiculous and redundant predictions are, especially for 9-5A. I just put the standings in backwards, and, in retrospect, I completely see where your coming from. I'll delete the post right now.
Great Game tonight at Wylie. Wow the ball was carrying out with HRs everywhere. Good Luck to Wylie in your last two district games.
I heard the PESH vs. Wylie game was a good one.
Wylie 7
PESH 5

Emens HR ties game
Vennett and Jordan HR back-to-back to take lead
Snider drives in 2 to tie it up
Wylie scores 2 to win

Emens was not the LP for East. You could tell both teams smell the playoffs.
Who was the losing pitcher?
#14 Bell took the loss. He came into the game in the 6th and made the catch in front of homeplate. Thought that ball might drop.
OK youre right, i had forgotten that PESH tied the game up after Emens was taken out.
We go by East..... 
Any more 9-5A scores?
The game was tied when Jeff left in the 6th. But the bottom line is that the home team had the last hit, regardless of the pitcher. Losing pitcher is of no consequence -- we lose as a team. Congratulations to Wylie.
I think ill stick with PESH.
