district 7 5a

I'll try,

Fossil Ridge
Southlake
Denton Guyer
Northwest

beisbol101,
I gotta ask, why Fossil Ridge 1st? I don't know much about them and my son's team faces them Feb. 23rd.

No order, just teams I think will make playoff

Don't mean to be noisy but do you have a son playing for one of your selections?

yes for Northwest, hopefully they will do good like I think and make the playoffs

Don't count out Coppell and Keller. Both teams made the playoffs last year.

Southlake, Coppell, Keller, Guyer, Fossil Ridge and even Northwest all have returning, quality players that will help them battle for playoffs. So that's going to leave 2 good teams at home during the playoff run.

Flip a coin between Coppell & Southlake. Everybody else is playing for 3rd and it's not even close.

How does Southlake's roster look this year? I thought several of their senior class transfered to private schools.

What??? exactly do you mean??? I have no idea what you could possibly be taking about relative to transfers. Maybe you're just pulling the Dragons chain...who knows.

From what I know SLC should have solid pitching once again this year. They did graduate every position starter from last year's team that went 13-1 to win the district except for one...5 of those guys are playing D1 ball now, so some big shoes to fill. That being said, SLC has a ton of athletes and will find a way to score some runs. Their top 5 State ranking in the preseason polls could be a bit lofty IMO, but look for them to be good and be right at the top of the district...they are a "no doubter" to make the playoffs.

Well I think you may have 3 of the 4 but Northwest will not be one of them. Coppell or Central should be in the running.

Why would i be pulling any dragon chain? What would i have to gain by that? I remember last year (or perhaps as sophs) a few of the class of 2012 transferred to a couple of different private schools. Burgess, Metzger, and 1-2 others (Maness, Cross). Maybe they were not likely starters, I don't know.

I really don't have any clue as to what will happen this spring. However, if history is any indication of the future you have to beleive that Southlake, Coppell and Keller High will be in the hunt. I would guess that Guyer and maybe Fossil Ridge will also have something to say. I suspect that Fossil's success will be strongly be influenced by when Sheldon Neuse is on the mound. He throws in the nineties and in the class of 2013, I beleive he is ranked in the top ten in the nation by Perfect Games. He is also a very good position player but when he is not on the mound mu sense is that Fossil will have some challenges. Guyer has Cole Fiola and some other players who will probably make a big impact. Southlake has Ben Sego( Arkansas commit), Derrien McLemore, his father played for the Rangers and he is a UTA commit. They also have Jack Stone and I beleive Kenny Hill (QB of State championship team and son of a former MLB pitcher. I am sure there are also other players that will have an impact. Don't know much about Coppell except that they have a kid named Craig Aiken who is a Oklahoma State committ. Keller has a pitcher named Garett Grim who is a TCU committ and is throwing in the nineties, Matt Custred who is a Mclennan committ and is a hard throwing righty, Zacarias Hardy who is a Texas A and M commit outifielder and three other impact seniors, Chase Lee, Cameron Bonifant and Alex Maloney all who will likely be sighned by the end of the year.


Southlake is extremly talented but loosing Metzger and Maness were big loses to the team. No disrespect to the other teams becasue I do not know mmuch about them but I think you have to probably throw in Keller Central as a potential spoiler. In terms of Northwest, I can't recall when was the last time they made the playoffs so if they do well it will be a surpise.

Correction: Ben Sego is a Kansas State commit and Zacarias Hardy is a Texas A and M Corpus Christi commit

2010 and went 0-2 first round. Before that it was 2006 when they lost in the 4th round to Clayton Kershaw and Highland Park

I stand corrected Three boys dad, with respect to Northwest. Thanks for clarifying.

golden rule, your line about NW making the playoffs is correct, it will be a BIG suprise if they make the playoffs.

Southlake will be in the playoffs. They have good, young arms.

Calahan is correct-- Coppell and Southlake are without a doubt play-off teams in this District.

Craig Aiken is an Oklahoma signee, not OSU.

Any thought that SLC or Coppell won't make the playoffs is silly. Keller has not missed the playoffs but once since Stramp took over.

My guess would be Fossil will be the other to make it.

You have to take scrimmages with a pound of salt because it is early in the year and it depends on how the coach rotates his pitchers and other position players. With that being said Southlake really destroyed Colleyville in a recent game. My sense is that they are the real deal.

I'm usually measured in grains!

My son called the Southlake/Colleyville Scrimmage. Said overall both teams looked good, but Southlake had the lumber.

I know its early but looks like i might be wrong about our team. My other picks are doing good. Southlake is 2-2, Guyer is 4-1, and Fossil Ridge is 5-0

Guyer is now 6-0.

Ok even better. like I say its early.

Southlake has solid, young arms. look for them to be dangerous

What were the scores from district openers?

Looked like a great game yesterday in Southlake. Two great pitchers going at it, 17 combined k's. Fossil Ridge wins 2-0.

keller high school wins 5 to 3 over Keller Fossil Ridge.

Guyer 3 Northwest 1

Correction keller 5 to 3 over keller central not fossil ridge.

Any games tonight?
