See, like I said, we are toast.
Ok-sorry-I will give CHS this-if we can beat Keller-we can beat anyone. "Better to be lucky than good"

Frankly, I don't think Coppel has a chance. We have no pitching, hitting etc..I think we will get run ruled in both of the first 2 games. Shoot, we should just forfeit and save the gas. Cole is hurt, Cameron is an infielder, not a pitcher and our team is just too young in key positions. That's just my honest assessment. Been a good year otherwise.
Your Don Nelson impersonation?
Meatsdad -- I'm not saying I disagree with you, but why do you think Coppell has more pitching? Have you seen Cunningham pitch? He is a perfect #3 or #3.5 during this time of the year. His numbers aren't that revealing because he was just recently cleared to play after surgery for a football injury. If Cole is the Cowboys #3 for this series, then who will pitch game 2 against Braddock?
Coppell's pitching is deep, yes.....but I'm not sure why they should be considered better than the Dragons' arms.
Both offenses are very tough.
It might just come down to defense and coaching.
Oh -- and tcwatt -- your sarcasm card has not yet been delivered -- the app is still under consideration in Minnesota. Be careful in overusing the temporary card.

Sorry-just kidding. I hope it is a good series. We have somewhat of a rivalry here. I am serious, though, when I say,if we can beat Keller, we can beat anyone. If SLC is strong 1-9, then been there done that with Keller,---and FM, FMMCS, LHS, HHS, CHS, NHS, etc..I apologize if I said, or implied, anything that is inappropriate.

It's not the South to worry about. Good teams, but it's the West that DFW must challenge. Coach Oliver out at Monterey will have something special for the FMHS/Martin winner. If you can win the Region, anybody can win at Austin. All bets are off.

Beenthere has a good point. I think west texas as well as deep east texas doesn't get enough coverage so no one really knows what these teams have. They might be hiding in the weeds ready to pounce on the teams in North and South Texas.
PD - wasn't aware Cunningham had been hurt. That explains limited innings that I saw. But is his arm up to 5 + innings? If Cole starts like we all hope he will in game two or when ever Braddock starts, then I would give Coppell the edge. Kegley seems to be average but that might have been what people would have said of De La before the playoffs, right now De La is a lights out closer.
Watten looked really good at Cedar Hill and would have gone deeper if not for a miss played ball in the infield early in the game. It cost him a couple of runs that really shouldn't have been earned runs. That then cost him 10 extra pitches in an inning.
Meat never got comfortable against Ceder Hill in game two and Kettler came in with 2 on and 2 out in the 2nd to shut them down ( Coppell was up 2 to 1) with De La coming into close in the sixth
Coppell's pitching goes 6 deep, Watten, De La Chappelle, Kettler, Malone, Nieder and oh yea a guy named Green.
But KD has watched both teams several times so he might have a little better understanding of the match-up. To Coppell's defense, Coppell beat Keller without it's bats working well at all. The problem seems to have fixed itself against Cedar Hill.
As for coaching, Watten keeps telling me the Coach English has plan and whatever it is it seems to be working. Maybe this is his year.
Defense, well I think our guys are just now playing the best they have been all year, so that should help.
This should be a good series for sure.

Know Chase very well. Played on Trey's 10 Tiger team. If you think he is a good pitcher, you should see his academics(he is also a quality young man!!). He clearly takes after his mom-Debbie (sorry Ray). He may have signed with Vandy but, like Kaskow (Stanford), you have to get in first. Kudos to Ray and Debbie, good friends and quality people. Game on-good luck!!(Hey, spot us some runs!)
Hey, Meatsdad (do I know you?)---Meat rules!!
One more thing-KD-no--JimmyJohnson!
And if you think the Keller fans were verbal, just wait until you get SLC fans upset.
It should be a good series, and as I said, if Green does indeed pitch, and has his slider working, then it would be a coin toss.
If not, then I think SLC has the edge.
But, they play the games for a reason.

I would not write off the El Paso - Socorro team just yet!!!

Agreed. Absolutely not. I include El Paso in the West, but maybe should consider it the West Coast. They'll be very good, but don't think they can be Region champions though.
****... these coppell folks need to get out a little more often... They are proving KG a genius...at least making his point for him.
didn't think D,a,m,n was a blank word

Just catching up, but I was @ Centerfield last night and I am not sure the above statement is totally accurate.

Ok, changed my mind ......Coppell's in the State Tournament.

I watched both teams play this year. Coppell likely has an edge in overall number of arms. I would say SLC has some pitching too but both teams have a rapid decline in pitching effectiveness after their no. 1's and 2's. So the bats will loom large in game three if it gets to a game three. I give the edge to CHS.

And I thought I didn't like "En Fuego" but I guess a little fire is always good to warm things up.
The overall number of arms??? That could be a factor in a 7-game series, eh?
We sure could use some of those pitchers to go with our hitters this weekend.

Should be a great series with lots of fanfare. Some big match-ups of pitchers and hitters --- and coaches.
Maybe East coulda used a couple of those arms in game two a few weeks ago P Dad....
A sensitive subject, UTPanAM -- we had other arms. I supported the approach that the coach took. If you were at the games, you know that it was more a matter of cold bats than not enough arms. It's easy to coach in hindsight. You may be asking the same questions regarding the Rock's series with NM.
My son said I was not allowed to question the teacher.

Congratulations 11s, it appears your team found just enough pitching. Good Luck out west maybe we will pass you on the road and meet you back here for a rematch. Do North Texas Proud!!
Condolences to our Jaguar finds. We had hoped to meet you again this year in a 3 games series. Congratulations on an outstanding season.
