McKinney North vs. Highland Park.....WOW!!

I'm split... I kind of want HP to win because I know some kids, but knowing those kids kind of makes me want MN to win. The reason for MN to win should be obvious to the people who know who I'm talking about.

I'll text you when we arrive tonight, FO. I'm sure it will be SRO.

I'll keep you informed, OP.

PDiddy,

Park at that parking lot north of the stadium, not sure what the building is, or southwest across the street.

Holding a seat for you.

I'll be there early......

I am 6'4" blond and blue eyed, remarkably similar to the doctor, but can coach and ump better from the stands.

I did not play in the band.

OP! That's the number to the Men's club in Dallas!

But, if you hear Pomp and Circumstance at an odd time tonight, check your text messages.

Pomp and Circumstance at the Men's Club.....

That'll amuse some and confuse the rest, too.

PLAY BALL!

Silly boys! I was getting ready to text that number for results. I'm pretty sure those aren't the results I was looking for.

YEAH NORTH!!!


STATE BOUND!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!

CONGRATS TO ALL! SO MANY, ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

Score?

HP hit into too many double plays right when it looked like they'd get it going... very unlucky. Give lots of credit to Trent and Bolsinger to come in and close the door. They threw well

North 5
HP 1

Final

Thanks for everyone who sent text messages!! My mailbox was almost full!!

Congrats to North and Coach Milam and the staff.

ML is a little jealous!!

So who will North see next up after getting past HP and advancing on to state?

Congrats to NORTH!!!!

Congrats to the Dawgs!

Not sure who North will play play on Wednesday but Arlington Heights swept WF Rider with a 6-1 win tonight after beating them in extras last night.

You thinking about moving back ?

No clue yet as to who they will play, but according to the UIL website all the games will be played at the Disch at 12 & 3 on 6/7 and 12 noon on 6/8.

Congrats fellas on a great year!

OP, you remember the first and last MISD team to make it to Austin??????

It's a shame one of these two teams will have to lose. They are both great squads.

The HP boys played hard with tremendous poise and respect for the game.

And, the HP fans supported their team in an enthusiastic and positive way, too.

I want to congratulate North on a great series, but I have to commend HP for their play. They played with integrity and earned my respect. I spoke with many HP parents over the last few nights and even had some stop me in the parking lot on the way out to congratulate us and tell us good luck at State. What a great bunch of players and parents! It was too bad one team had to lose this series. I think both teams left it all on the field. Good luck to North at State.

Witnessed the same from the Highland Park parents and players when they were playing against Northwest.

It is ashame someone has to lose.

FO ~ Checking on the info you requested. Will send you a PM when I get it from the Bird Man.

Great Job North... Congrats to the Boys and the Coaches on a tremendous performance last night and throughout the season. Good Luck in the Tourney.

Congrats to McKinney North!!!!!!

Best of Luck at State!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LA,

One of the most memorable weeks in my life for sure. Drafted on Tuesday.......pitching at Disch-Falk later that week! It was an amazing time in my life!! I'll cherish those memories forever and am glad you were a part of it as well.

We spent some time with Nico and his family last night after the game and they were as close to heaven as they could be.....in a baseball sense of course!! How can Nico be this good as a sophomore? He has done an incredible job this year. I think he was 5-7 against HP this week with 4 RBI. WOW!

I hope the boys can focus one game at a time now and not be satisfied with just getting there. If they will focus like they have throughout the run so far, they have a chance at history for a McKinney baseball team. I sure hope they can pull it off!

Good luck Dawgs....we wish we were there with you guys....but it wasn't God's plan.

dfwdad08,

It's really ironic that this has transpired like it has!! Move to a school that went to state last year and leave one going this year! Crazy stuff. I'm so happy for Coach Milam and his staff! There's not a more deserving coach in Texas than Coach Milam. He is one of the nicest men I know and a great coach as well. What he's done in his first 4 years at North is unreal. 3 consecutive district titles and missed a 4th by one game the first year of varsity play!

I wonder if he has second thoughts now about leaving!! I'm still trying to figure out exactly what transpired behind the scenes for him to want to leave North. I'm perplexed as to why he would, but I know he's a man of integrity and he's doing it for the right reasons.

I'm really happy for the kids, too! There are a bunch of great families whom we think the world of.

Go get'em Dawgs!

Does anyone know if they will televise the 4A and 5A Baseball playoff games in Austin? Thanks.
