ALL DISTRICT PLAYERS/MVP

Train -- the lists are usually published once all teams from a district are eliminated from the playoffs -- and then at the discretion of the local newspapers. The complete lists are normally included when the Dallas Morning News prints the All-Area team in a special insert after the end of the season.

The D8-5A selections include:

Coach of the Year ------- Paul Pool, Allen
MVP --------------------- Michael Russo, Lewisville
MVP Pitcher ------------- Garret Carruth, Lewisville
Newcomer of the Year ---- Alex Yarbrough, Allen

Train,
Don't tell me you of all people are concerned about all-district selections or seeing kids names in the DMN or local paper. Doesn't really mean much does it?

Irony - Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

The Coaches in Dist 8-5A voted for the following FM players:

First Team:

Millard - Pitcher
Mummey - Outfield
Shepherd - Infield
Pharr - Catcher
Popescu - Infield

Second Team:

Neal - Pitcher
Murphy - Infield

Did not get the information concerning any of the Honorable Mentions.

Congrats to all the kids.

But now I have to look up "incongruity".

Yarbrough had a good year for Allen. Pretty impressive when a freshmen comes in and contributes like he did. He's a good one.

What is even more amazing...from what I understand, he is actually a young freshman...if he wasn't "playing up" in 15U summer ball he would be league age 14. (last year he "played up" 2 years in summer ball - played 15U when he was 13U)

Alex is a hard worker...I don't know him personally but he works out at the same indoor facility we do (we? - my son would chuckle at that). Alex is in the batting cages working on his hitting all the time!

Congrats to all the players that were recognized!

H&U...just want to make sure your son stays in the headlines . He will be playing with some pretty good players this summer.

Congrats to all the kids....I notice most of them through select ball.

Think Russo will go in the draft?

Train,
Thanks for looking out for him. Yes he will be playing with some VERY good players this summer.

See you soon.

Imagine H&U and I having a conversation maybe over a cheesburger (haha KD).

H&U...do you think we will lose any games this summer? okay...I will not go that far for summer ball cause PD and DBAT GM would be upset!

But it will be fun beating those guys all summer long.

Congratulations to ALL of the boys who worked so very hard to achieve this honor! And, a special congratulations to the boys who are represented by parents on this forum!

I havn't heard much about the 10-5A all district picks...and since Newman Smith is still in the playoffs, I will keep what little I know to myself...but I will share that we were told at the Berkner Baseball Banquet that Berknerson (Greg Ylda) made 1st team at second base.

He had a great year -- congratulations, BD! How are the plans for next year coming along?

Panther Dad - I think he is close to signing...I will PM you details.

Congrats to berknerdad, Panther Dad, H&U and all the other proud mamas and papas. Congrats players!

Anyone seen a complete list of All-District honors for District 12-5A? Just curious how it all panned out!
