GOT HRs?

Cedar Hill beat Irving, but not the game that Blake pitched. Congratulations to Irving's Evan Woolnough for his 3 run homerun in the bottom of the first. This was Woolnough's 6th HR this year.

CH hit 6 HR's, 3 in the 1st inning to beat B.B.'s Irving High.

Just to reiterate.... Beavan threw a one-hit shutout, while striking out 15 in his start.

And many congratulations to the 20-mph wind blowing straight out to a 340 ft centerfield fence!

Did the wind stop blowing when Irving was batting?

Cedar Hill had their ACE going, Brown, who entered the game 8-3 with an ERA in the 1.00s, 100 strikeouts. He gave up EIGHT RUNS, so I'd say he got pretty ruffed up and certainly effected by the wind too.

Congrats to Cedar Hill for out COACHING Irving. They set their pitching rotation perfectly. They threw their #3 against Beavan, almost in concession (ironically the #3 threw his best game of the year) and saved their ace for Game 3.

Very smart, and showed how import Game 1 of the series was. It forced BB to go 2, allowing for the ace vs #3 match-up in Game 3.

You are completely on the mark when you said Irving was out coached. The Irving coach made SEVERAL stupid decisions that cost the team the series. But that no different from they way he coached all season. This was the Irving coach's first year at Irving and he proved that he had no idea what do with the talent he had.

From what I have seen and heard the coach should have won the toss and played one game....did they not use the Irving coach's coin?

Now....The easiest thing to do is beat up a coach! As a pure observer, if you look at the season as a whole, Irving likely did not have the depth at pitching to run very deep unless they played in only a one game format through out. Although the talent is not quite the same the situation is similar to Smithson Valley, two years ago lived on the one game format until they got to the State Finals and lost beacause their ace was used up. So...... unless the "coin Gods" favor you..... From what I witnessed through out the season, the coach of Irving did enough right things to get the Tigers to the playoffs. Hats off the kids and good luck to BB.

The problems afore mentioned referred to the season as a whole, not just the play-offs. I was "beating up the coach" I will be the first one to say that the team made errors and our pitching is limited, but ....

PREDICTION:

Coppels sweeps Cedar Hill in short order.

How would one team sweep another in long order?

Same way PE got sweep is my guess.....

Time to
PE played with nothing but class. I dont think that was needed.

Low blow, TTSU, PD is a class dude!

It's ok guys -- I was just messing with JAFO regarding his earlier plays on words -- and just generally bored this week. I suppose PE is an easy target since we lost in the first round.

TTSU, is your team in the playoffs?

Smithson Valley used the one game format only once and that was against Moody. We got beat by a better team when it came to the semi-finals two years ago.

PD- Offseason most definately is boring... but luckily it's giving me time to do things I missed out on during the year. Hitting lessons, working out (which we don't do enough during the season at Jesuit), and more importantly.... arm rest. Not to mention, it makes me just get even hungrier for summer ball. Hope PDson is doing well and is healthy.

DTiger -- I think he was hoping for a day or two off before putting on a football helmet. Spring game on Monday! Argh.

hmmmm, Imagine That!

JAFO-Coppell is solid and their Slogan is 'Winning with Class'. They definitely did that. They have a great fan base and awesome stadium.

CH advancing past the first round was the first in school history and hopefully will be the beginning of future success.

Good luck to the Boys in the next round.

JAFO -- your brilliance in picking Coppell over Cedar Hills is second only to your.....your.....ok, let me start over.

JAFO -- your brilliance in picking Coppell over Cedar Hills is second only to the quality of the company you keep after Eagles' games.
