Way to go Cole! Congrats to you and family. I'll let son know also, I'm sure he'll be excited to hear that.
We'll be following your experience there.
Congratulations to Cole and the entire Thompson family!
Congrats to Cole Thompson. Must have been all that great coaching when he was a young lad! 
What a great kid and family!!! Congrats all the way around! 
Thank you to each of you for your well wishes...it has been a blast getting to know each of you (some virtually via the net 
) and your sons and playing with or against them. I enjoy following their progress and I look forward to following them on down the road.
Thanks to Uncle E and Natural for their advice over the years. We appreciate you.
PD - Thank you for all the sound advice on this site..I have learned alot by reading your posts...you make an excellent moderator and friend.
planocatdad - I asked Cole what some of his favorite baseball memories were over the years and the Seadogs 9-10 yrs were certainly at the top of his list. He still remembers the new word you taught him ..... "bull hockey".....he still loves that word and he thinks it was cheap that you had to watch from the cheapseats after using it while coaching a game. He loved your coaching and he loved your personality and sense of humor just as much. This is starting to sound like a eulogy so I will wind it down....
Thanks to all of you for being a part of our baseball family!

Congrats to Taylor Mabra, Mansfield.
Taylor committed to UTA yesterday. They are getting a great kid, great hitter and super outfielder. Ellen and Maverick, you should be proud, at least he is not going to OU.
In addition, thank goodness, he has his mothers genes because if he was following in his Dad's footsteps, he would probably be hitting around .150 on his batting average instead of ov .500.
Congrats from your GHS friends and DBAT Mustang teammates.

I suppose I deserve that huh ?? For the record I was faster than he is. He did get his mother's stubborn attitude...

Congrats to Preston Beck as well! Great to see all the Friars going to play at the next level.

Flower Mound's Collin Ashley committed last month to play football for Vanderbilt. The centerfielder / leadoff is having a great spring in his senior year. Players with foot speed are game changers, the game needs more of them.
This might be the final 2009 commitment.
Today my son Danny Malone accepted an offer to play baseball at Lon Morris.
Today I saw my son throw a bullpen for the first time since May 2009. The shoulder is finally strong almost 2 years after the surgery.
Danny gets the chance to finish this thing one way or the other...on the mound...God Willing...I thank God for this opportunity.

Great news. Congrats to Danny. I wish him the best of luck. 
Congrats and best of luck! Glad to see your son still pursuing baseball!
Thanks Tx Husker and Cheapseats, he threw his first competitive inning in 18 months on Monday at Weatherford and he felt good. He missed playing more than he thought.
