Game of the Week?

It would be easier for me to provide "Definitely Not Games of the Week". I've seen enough bad baseball to last me a lifetime.

Hard to go wrong with Southlake Carroll at Flower Mound...Tuesday March 23rd at 7:00PM

I would agree that it should be the best game of the 6-5A matchups...I think the two teams will finish 1st and 2nd in the district. I feel like it is up for grabs between the two teams.

I like the Carroll game too. Watch for a good game between 5A leader Carroll vs 4A leader Highland Park Sat 4pm Ballpark in Arlington.
Carroll 11-4, HPark 14-5-1 I believe. Just good baseball.

4A District Matchup
No.1 Mansfield Legacy vs. No. 2 Everman. (Tues)

Tied for Lead with 0 losses in District 7-4a :
Arlington Heights vs. Western Hills. (Friday)

Friday 3/26 Battle of the Mound round 1 : Flower Mound at Flower Mound Marcus 7:00 PM

This Friday we have two good games.

Birdville 1st at 14-8, District 6-0 vs.
Aledo 2nd at 17-6, Dist. 5-1.

Carroll in 1st at 12-5, 2-1 vs.
Marcus at 9-3, 0-1.

Good Luck!!

Any big rivalries this week?

Huge rivalry between Flower Mound and FM Marcus at 7 PM at FMHS stadium on Friday April 9th. Round 2 of the Mound Showdown! Expect well over a thousand people to attend! Usually standing room only so get there early!!!

Huge game in 8-5a tomorrow night as Plano west is visiting mckinney Boyd. Games at 7:30, tailgate party before.

Tailgate party I'm in. This is a very good district matchup with two of the best and a great district altogether. I give Plano West the advantage but home field might be great also.
Would like to see pitching matchup between Huber-PW and Ashby-MB. Look out for Ford-PW who can make a difference in a second. Thanks for your input.

That will be the pitching matchup tomorrow night. Should be a fun game.

Edward S. Marcus at Flower Mound tonight. Expect a huge and hostile enviornment. Going to be a great game at the least.

HUGE is right!!! Come early!!! It is youth night at "The Mound" so it will be standing room only! Marcus is expected to pitch Massingale who threw 3 shutout innings in relief against FM in their first match up! It will be interesting to see how the FMHS boys respond. FM won the first round match up 16-3. Bruce is expected to throw for FM. He has been untouchable this year! Should be a much better game this time!

HRKB, you are correct Bruce is good, but he is NOT untouchable!!!

I think this is the weakest week this year.

No big district matchups at all.

The teams on the playoff bubble might have something to play for.

Still have meaningless non-district games this weekend. Hope everyone stays healthy during these games, school needs you next few weeks.

Good luck everyone, or should I say Good skill!!!!

Plano West @ Jesuit ?

This one has my vote.

You are right! I overlooked that one. Mostly here in Fort worth, thats why, but still a baseball fan.

This is very far for me to go but I'm sure it will be a good one between the top two in this district.

thanks

As expected, turned out to be an excellent game. Jesuit is still improving overall and has the potential for a very good pitching staff. They have five kids, de gruy, Friemuth and Jans along with Cleaveland and Vanderheiden that could take them deep into the playoffs. de Gruy went 7 full innings and struck out 8. This game was still in doubt in the top of the seventh due to 2 Jesuit errors after one out. The bases were loaded and de Gruy got a fly out and a strike out on a 3 - 2 count to end the game. Josh Bell was dominant at the plate.

I think that one of the games of the week will be McKinney vs. Centennial. Last time these two faced off, Matt Lipka vs. Blake Harrell, the Jr. sub-mariner matched Lipka inning for inning, with both pitching a great game and holding hitters at bay for 8 innings. Zac Lee relieved for McKinney and Zach Kothera relieved for Centennial. One run blooper to right won it for McKinney. This week should see lefty Kyle Nelson (Centennial) vs. Zac Lee (McKinney). This should prove to be a good matchup, and McKinney might get pushed off the undefeated pedestal.

How are the matchups for Jesuit and Rockwall Heath this week?

McKinney has a 4 game lead with 3 games to go, I would put this in the "NOT" game of the week.

9-4A
Liberty - Sherman should be a good one. Sherman needs to win and Liberty's chances of winning are pretty good this Tuesday night.

Sherman has another tough one on Friday night and will be fighting for playoff contention along with North and Wakeland.

Final 9-4A playoff spot may be decided by the last game of the season with Wakeland and North going at each other.

Mesquite 22-2 6-1 vs. Tyler Lee 18-6-1 7-0

McKinney has a 4 game lead with 3 games to go, I would put this in the "NOT" game of the week.

Might not put it as the game of the week, but it might prove to be a big morale booster heading into the playoffs.

Here's one: District 7-4A

Fort Worth Arlington Heights (11-0) at

Fort Worth Western Hills (10-1). Friday 7pm.
_________________________________________________
Fort Worth Southwest is also (10-1) plays Heights next week.

1st, 2nd and 3rd still undecided. Western Hills is playing for a share of the title.

Jesuit - McKinney Boyd had to turn out to be the game of the week! Jesuit needed this game to win the District 8-5A outright and not have to win the final game of the year ag Plano. This game was a hard fought inning to inning contest with Jesuit coming from behind by 3 runs and breaking the game open in the 6th when the bats came alive and scoring 8 runs. Jesuit showed great patience, character and confidence by staying in the game while they were behind for 6 innings. Jacques de Gruy/Jesuit a Tulane signee, threw a complete game, gave up 6 hits and struck out 7 for the win.

Rowlett and Sachse for the 10-5A title. Should be a great game. Rowlett beat Sachse at Rowlett in the first meeting 5-3. Should be a great game.

Rockwall Heath 13-0 in district vs. Highland Park 12-1. Heath will have to go 32-0 to win 10-4A outright.

Richardson vs Creekview. Eagles win and take Dist championship outright...first one ever for the school, from what I heard.

Ok, let's go with the "weak district", "our 3rd place team would have won that district" and "my kid would have started as a freshman over there"...did I cover them all?

Bottom line is that while these guys are not very deep, they have a pretty good team and a couple top tier players.

Even without a horse in their race, could not be more proud of their turn-around over the past few years.

Late 70's the Don Woods led Eagles won a bunch of District Championships and Max McClearin in the 60's went as far as they could go in a smaller division. State playoffs was on for the top classification way back in the day.

ONLY ONE GAME WITH DISTRICT TITLE IMPLICATIONS IN FORT WORTH METRO.

FORT WORTH ARLINGTON HEIGHTS 12-0 VS.
FORT WORTH SOUTHWEST 11-1.

HEIGHTS CAN WIN OUTRIGHT OR SOUTHWEST FALLS TO
11-2 TYING FOR 2ND WITH FW WESTERN HILLS 10-2 WITH A WINNABLE GAME LEFT.

Who is pitching in the East vs. Boyd matchup tomorrow night?

I assume Ashby for Boyd, but I don't know for sure. No idea who's throwing for East.

Tychco, nice to see Tyler having a strong season for the Bears.
