Sorry about that! It's tomorrow night.....(Tuesday)......hopefully!!

Southlake Carroll at Hebron Tuesday - 4 p.m.

Then in an effort to play as many 5-5A teams as possible, Hebron plays Keller next week, Colleyville Heritage the week after that and Justin Northwest at the Ballpark March 3rd.

Tonight Keller and Martin went 12 innings. Not much offence for either team tonight with most of the runs scored late in the game.

Keller - 5
Martin - 2

Everyone loves an interesting scrimmage. Very excited about this year for DFW baseball!

Slight schedule change for tomorrow's scrimmages for McKinney North.

We will now only play one game @ 6pm against Highland Park.

Not sure what happened, but we will not play against Creekview.

Denton Ryan vs Rowlett tonight.Ryan scores 3 in last inning to win 5-2.Seventeen ML scouts on hand to see Curtis Peterson of Ryan.Never seen that many radar guns.

Plano East at FM Marcus Tuesday, weather permitting.

This weekend...

South Garland @ Plano!

Coach Robertson will play his old team! It should be a good one!

OP--Creekview decided it only wanted to play one game. HP plays Creekview @ 4:00 and North @ 6:00.

They were also there to see Brandon Loy (UT signee). We counted 26 scouts in all. Most I have seen this early in the seaon. I thought both teams did well for the first scrimmage of the year.

There will be a few scouts at our place tonight to watch the Woodruff kid from Forney. Hopefully we can put the ball in play.

Woodruff plays off of all talent. I saw him hit five kids in one game once.

I will be sure and not let my players read this before the game.

Plano beat Rockwall tonight 17-9! Man it was cold.

I figured Coach Robertson would have Plano ready against rockwall. Good job Wildcats

It was that much? I guess what we thought was wrong we thought we lost. To cold to keep up in dugout

Tuesday

Colleyville vs. Weatherford

After 1.5 innings the game was called due to rain.

To continue Wednesday at 4:30 ....CHHS field.

I DON'T SEE WHERE ROCKWALL WON OR LOST OR WHERE PLANO WON OR LOST, THE FIRST FOUR INNINGS PLANO SCORED HOW MAY RUN'S, HOW ABOUT 0 AND ROCKWALL SCORED HOW MANY 5, AND I SUPPOSE PLANO HAD THEIR 3RD OR 4TH STRING PITCHER ON THE MOUND AT THAT TIME.WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT BOTH TEAM'S PLAYED WELL FOR THE CONDITION'S AND THAT THEY BOTH SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR TEAM'S AND BOTH HAVE A EXCELLENT YEAR TO LOOKFOWARD TO.

touchy are we...They actually had their Freshman pitcher or one of the 8th grade pitchers...
If you get spun up on something like this you are in for a long season on the boards.

Lighten up and on the left side of your keyboard there is a key called "Caps Lock" press that key.
It will remove the upper case letters you type with, which is also known as yelling..

Any details? I wasn't able to make the game . Heard our pitching held early but fell apart later on. Sounds like Plano hit the ball good.

Seems if they scored 17 and we scored 9 then they won and we lost. That's how I do it. All that other stuff is details...but I get your point.

NO NOT TOUCHY , I JUST DONT THINK YOU CAN WIN OR LOSE IN A SCRIMMAGE GAME. OH AND I LIKE CAP'S ITS EASY TO READ

That's the thing about scrimmages -- you can WIN and really LOSE or LOSE and really WIN, it's all about the approach and whether teams are better prepared for the games that count. I heard talk that a few of Rockwall's top arms did not throw last night. But 17 runs seems pretty strong in most any situation.

Well, it was really cold and windy so it took a while for the kids to warm up, but once both teams did it turned out pretty well. Rockwall had some really good quality pitchers, I was pretty impressed with some of them. Plano pitching didnt get off to a good start but then they turned it on. Not every plano pitcher pitched, lucky for yall! ... jk. but it was still a good game. The kids from both teams looked cold but they both look good.

Parson and Fields didn't throw for Rockwall. Ballew and Parish threw the first 4, tossing 2 scoreless innings each. Three others took the hump and gave up a few.

Badman..........hope you get to see Jake Feckley. He can bring it!

Common mistake by us parents is to read too much into the outcomes of these scrimmages. I am certainly guilty of this. Obviously, you can take the general pulse of the teams (how did they hit, field and pitch). However, just as preseason Cowboy games mean very little, the same can be said for these scrimmages. I witnessed our coach insert players at will throughout the game. Many of our non-starters got significant PT. In key moments, the hitter you really want at the plate (and the one that would normally be at the plate) is often riding the pine or taking cuts in the cage. Besides evaluation, I think these coaches see this as an opportunity to head off the "down the road PT issues". In other words, throw the non-starters a bone when it doesn't matter. Whatever the reason, true outcomes are dramatically altered from both sides. Game flow is certainly disrupted. Scrimmages are great and definitely needed to ease into the season but we really can't take too much from them.

2-11

After what seemed to be about 106 innings (and they are still playing) Martin was ahead of Grapevine something like 10-5.
