Kind of surprised to see Poteet make that many errors, but anybody can have a bad game. In the Garland/Rockwall game the score actually should have been 2-1, but one of our players made some costly errors that caused a few more runs to score. But as I told my son, you're not going to win games where you can only plate one run. Rockwall will be in the race for district champ for sure and Poteet as well.

It was surprising to see Poteet make that many errors. I think that was their first loss this season. I am actually shocked at District records.
I had really thought that NF would have been better than their 5-5 season. I wish when the scores are posted, the errors are posted also. However, I guess in the end all that matters is the score.

Good luck to 43momma son and to play as if it is his last game.

Poteet takes one on the chin. Tip your hat to Rockwall. Nobody goes undeafted.

Lads Dad

I believe the games are being played at Richardson High, Lake Highlands, and Berkner.

all 3 of these teams play at home.

Coppell vs RR McNeil at 5 pm at Cedar Park HS

Coppell vs Cedar Park at 7:30 pm at Cedar Park.

Split last night, Coppell 6-4 over Austin Westlake. Watten pitched 4 shut-out innings, looked good getting ready for District on Tuesday. Lost 5-1 to Austin Westwood in the night-cap, Westwood looked primed for the game, they had good pitching - Ross Speed - great pitcher name was hard to hit, had velocity and good location.

Sorry, about that (Defeated). Another error.

Didn't count the SO's but it was a LOT. OP how many????

Great seeing you OP and good luck the rest of the weekend.....

Great seeing you too OBN. The LeGuen kid was awesome last night. Kept us off balance the entire game. INCREDIBLE change up! He had 9 K's by the way. 7 of those were through the first 3 innings!!

Good luck the rest of the tourney. Ya'll have a very good team. Should do well in district IMO.

Keller 10
HP 7

WP Kasinsky (SP?)

Keller 12
RL Turner 2

5 Innings

WP Kroehlic

Dang, wish these kids would get easier names to spell

Keller looked good in both games. Hit the ball well and played some solid defense

R.L. Turner is going to struggle this year.

Marcus 7
Naaman Forest 4

WP: Holland
HR: Marcus Ryan Morgan

Marcus 11
WT White 1

WP: R. Pressley, no hitter

HR: Marcus, Guerra

Marcus goes 3-0 in the McKinney tourney heading into bracket play.

Thanks OP, it was great seeing you as well, I will pass on your words to LeGuen's family. Good luck tonight, hope you see you guys on Saturday.

Tough day for Pine Tree:

Game 1: Pine Tree 4
Sherman 8

LP - Brian Shore

Game 2 Pine Tree 9
Garland Lakeview Centennial 1

WP - Zane Hendon
HR's - Zane Hendon, Jeff Thompson, Todd Stonger

McKinney beat Sherman tonight creating a 3-way tie between McKinney, Sherman, and PT. Based on least runs allowed for a three team tie, McKinney moves on as the #1 pool seed and PT moves to the consolation bracket as the #2 pool seed (even though PT beat McKinney head-to-head).

Wow, some great pitching this week. Congratulations to J. Leguen and R. Pressly, a current teammate and a former teammate getting it done and doing it well. Hope to see them tomorrow.

Jesuit 6
Waxahacie 7

WP: Woods
LP: Wyand

Kevin Cosgrove got the start and pitched very well; made a few mistakes that ended up costing him in the end. Jake Wyand came in 6-6 in the bottom of the 7th after Colton Cain hit a 2-run shot to end KC's night. Waxahachie followed that with 2 Texas-leaguers to get the winning run in. Let one slip away.

On a side note, Colton Cain also started the game for them, throwing 2 innings giving up 2 runs, both earned. Pulled most likely for district/possible appearance later in tournament.

Playing for the McKinney championship tomorrow, hopefully. Good luck to all tomorrow.

No consolation, you're still playing like us as the #2 seed from the bracket. However, it does seem odd that they would get the #1 if you beat them straight up, but in a 3-way tie I guess it doesn't really matter.

McKinney North 7
Naaman Forest 6

WP-Erik "Woody" Ross (2-1) Save-Austin Schuler (1)
LP-Riley

Leading Hitter-North Andrew Smith 2-2 3RS; Garrett Yates 2-3 2RS
Leading Hitter-NF-Emerson 2-2 2RS; Alton 2-3 2B,3B 1RS 2RBI

HR-Naaman Forest-Prince (3 run shot in the 6th to make it a game)

McKinney North finishes 2-1 in the tournament, but loses the tie breaker and is finished for the weekend. We were out of pitching, so it's a good thing really!!

Rockwall 3
Plano East 2

WP - Parish
LP - Bostwick (another complete game)

Bostwick pitched good enough to win tonight. Not much hitting for either team -- but fewer mistakes for the Rock. Nice contributions from ChangeUp, Clemente21, and Longtoss's sons. C21 -- wow, what a throw! *** nice job, Blake ***

It was nice to see Changeup, Swami, and to finally meet the Swingdoc (an honor).

Coach Payne -- early scrimmage and tourney game now -- Rockwall by 1 in each contest -- let's get together in May for a series.

Didn't Fraley throw a perfect game just 3 days ago. He's back pitching on 2 days rest? Hope he has a rubber arm!

Northwest - 15
Richardson Berkner - 4

Broke out of the team hitting slump. Hornsby got the win and the lefty looked very good in the process.

Brought out the sticks instead of the nerf bats.

Arlington Lamar 15
Mesquite 10

Great comeback by Lamar from a 10-2 first inning deficit. Ben Walker had a single, double and homerun, not bad from the #9 hitter!!

Got back late from Austin,

Coppell lost to Austin McNeil 8-1, we tried to sneak 3 JV pitchers by in pool play and it hurt. The starter is a kid I know well and I know he can pitch a lot better than what he showed but I think he was a little nervious in his Varsity debut.

In the second game Eric Nieder got the 9-3 win over Cedar Park, Chad Kettler came in to close and looked great.

anyone know who lamar plays tonight at 8pm? i know we play the winner of the bracket that was played at Sam Houston, just can't find out who that is.

Ben did have a very good night at the plate last night. Alot of the Lamar kids hit the ball hard.

San Antonio Reagan wins its third straight tournament, this one hosted by defending 4A state champion New Braunfels High School. This weekend, Reagan defeated Boerne H.S. 5-3, Uvalde H.S. 6-0, New Braunfels H.S. 13-9, and Pflugerville H.S.

In today's game vs. Pflugerville, the teams were very evenly matched. Reagan was down 5-2 in the seventh inning, but battled back to score 3 runs. At the end of the 7th inning, both teams were tied with 5 runs, 6 hits, and 1 error each. Reagan continued to battle and finally won 6-5 with a run in the 10th inning. A nail-biter for sure!

Reagan is now 17-0-1.

Keller lost a heartbreaker 8-7 against Grapevine.

You had to wonder how those young men at Grapevine would respond to the events....and the talk was either they would fold up, or be the hardest team to beat in the Metroplex.

I vote for the latter.

Keller won the second game 6-0 to take 3rd in the tourney.

Flower Mound wins Tournament of Champions Frisco by beating Klein Collins 17-6. Congratulations boys, you all played great!

Jesuit 7
Naaman Forest 11

Jesuit pitched Taylor Ryan to start, only 2 or 3 runs given up I believe. He only threw 3 innings since he had thrown previously. A JV pitcher followed and gave up most of the runs then followed by another previously started pitcher. Safe to say we were out of pitching and coach was looking forward to Tuesday. That or knowing that we couldn't win the championship...think the championship play could have been better formatted, but oh well.


Marcus beat Waxahachie 5-1 and looked good going into the championship game against McKinney. All I know.

Kyle Meinhardt on the mound for Tuesday against L.D. Bell at L.D. Bell. Should make for a good game.

Plano East 12
A&M Consolidated 7

Four guys threw for Plano East, win is coach's decision, I guess.

Third place in the Art Blair Classic -- 11-3 in three tournaments, 12-3 on the year -- ready for 9-5A.

East hosts West on Tuesday.

From the Consolation Final at McKinney...

7IP, 2R, 1ER, 5H, 9K's, 3BB, 1HB

HR: Jeff Thompson

The boys had a good time in McKinney. Good to get back to the woods in East Texas.

JAFO -- a little HR power today? Cool deal.

FBM -- chicks (even moms) love the long ball, eh? Congrats to CC.

Marcus defeats Mckinney 3-1 to win the tourney. Marcus went 5-0 and only allowed 7 runs.

Congrats to SA Reagan and FMHS on their tourney wins as well.

PD: Got to see your grandbaby tonight and she is a CUTIE!!!!!!!

KD,

I figured they would respond with guts.

We will see you at Northwest Tuesday...come find collikar and I before the game.

KD - To find me before the game you'll have to be in NYC, because that's where I'll be.
