Gloveman thats the same reason the the Dbats , Tiger
and all the other under achieving Dallas select teams avoid playing Houston select teams. They don't stand a chance when they wander out of Dallas. Shoot, they even have to go outside of Dallas to gather talent. SWAC



I guess he didn't realize our team went TO HOUSTON and run-ruled every HOUSTON team we played in winning the HOUSTON perfect game/BCS tournament last summer.

I quess he missed that one!

The Metroplex has just as much talent as anywhere in the country.

I'm rooting for Klein Collins though, seeing as it's only 1/2 mile away from me.

Wow, I am almost sorry I have been away and missed out on all the fun on this board.

I have mixed feelings about both of these teams/coaches (I know, who cares?). After witnessing the previous and current Poteet coaches with their on-field antics, I must say they are a different breed. As for the fans, I didn't have a real problem with the rowdiness. I had a bigger problem with the smack the players like to talk. One of their players told my son that he was sick of it and it makes them looks bad, but I think it is encouraged or ignored by the coaches. I give Poteet credit that they do produce winning teams, not the classiest bunch, but that must not matter to administrators.

As for McKinney, their fans can be rowdy too and that is fine. I don't have a lot of good things to say about coach Price after he spilled his guts to the Nacagodoches coaches about McKinney North. You would think the local teams could be a little nuetral in these situations. But, coming from a guy that had to be fearing for his job coming into this season.... now he seems to be a pro at all of this. I guess he will do anything to try to look like more of a coach than he is.

Good luck to both teams. Fireworks begin on Thursday.

Everyone has their opinions about coaches so here's mine.

Price has done an amazing job "trying to look like a coach" this year and keeping the team together, focused and playing ball. From UIL suspensions, to one of our key players mother dying as the playoffs were beginning, to releasing a player from the team. We could have easily folded up our tents and gone home. But thanks to a coach who loves the game and loves the kids more we are still here and get another chance.

That's what a pro looks like to me.

Best of luck to Big Lip and Z. Lee in the next round from TMK's 2010s! Hope you guys make it all the way but hope we see ya Memorial Day weekend.

Guys -- let's reduce the number of posts that slam coaches -- I know they're easy targets -- but try to consider whether or not your post is beneficial to those that read it.

Concerning this series, I think it will be a great one, regardless of the venue. Can two sets of passioned fans hurt?

NTXFan, Yeah us classless people don't care. Check your own backyard.

What on the field antics? I see passionate coaches that want the best for their players. I know for a fact that both coaches PHS has had, care about the kids on and off the field. There are a lot of good coaches out there, I know That both Coach D and Coach N are top notch coaches. As far as on the field antics go to any high school game and sit next to each dugout so you can here whats going on in there and on the field. I assure you it goes on every where. As far as that goes the "in the stands antics" are way worse than whats going on , on the field.

In my opnion, McKinney will win in 2.

You know what they say about opnions?

Everyone knows what opinions are like...and this post is full of'em!

"It's better to play with a group than with yourself!"

I KNOW McKinney will win the series. They beat two top notch pitchers this past weekend and they will do the same this weekend

easttexan99...with that ESP(N) that you have I hope you have a lot of money riding on the series.

Did not see any top notch pitching on Saturday? Plus the PineTree coach was looking past McKinney. Heck PineTree couldn't even beat Liberty-Eylau(spelling) or Carthage.The top notch pitching was coming from a freshman stud on the Lions.

Good luck this weekend Jakey Jake, hope you tear it up against Mckinney. It may hurt the Canes you not being there with us right now , but we love watching you thrive in the play-offs, along with the other Canes still playing. GET SOME!!!!

I came away after having been swept by McKinney in two good games with nothing but respect for them and their coach. The McKinney coach had Pine Tree scouted to perfection - we have had trouble all season with off-speed and breaking pitches to the outside half of the plate. I don't know if we were scouted well or if our district coaches gave them all the information they needed, but the McKinney team was very well prepared and played great ball. Their pitchers were certainly not overpowering, but they stayed away from our hitters very well and our batters did not adjust to this type of pitching. If the RH batters on Poteet are not prepared to use Right Field, then they will suffer the same fate we did - over 20 outs from SS to 1B.

I think McKinney made one error in 14 innings. We made 6. To me the most impressive area defensively for McKinney was their outfield. Maybe the best I've seen this season.

Anyway, I don't know why anyone would not like the McKinney coach - I was very impressed by him. He seemed like he knew our weaknesses to perfection and his team performed on the field.

I am not going to pretend to know anything about Poteet, but I have to go with McKinney and I will be rooting for them to win. I just have too much respect for how they handled us and how they played the game. Yes, they have a couple of loud mouths on the team, but I believe that every team has a few of those - I think you are supposed to.

Good luck to McKinney the rest of the way (no disrespect intended to Poteet).

One thing may be a little different in this series VS the MHS vs LPT series. A lot of the players on both teams have faced each other in summerball. I don't think they will have any we (Poteet) haven't seen.

Thank you to Steve Shore (crawdad). What a class act! It's too bad many of you making comments on this site can't come close to matching up! Once again, re-read the "Board Manners" and measure up or pipe down! Site administrators, I thought you were to remove comments that were not positive or defamatory! Do your job! Or maybe the "Board Manners" were just a legal ploy because the lawyers said you have to have some. We'll see!

So tigers -- with the depth of experience of 2 posts -- if you want to talk about moderating, send me a private message. What's your agenda? If something that was said here offended you, let's discuss it in private and I'll review the post(s) and consider removing them or editing them appropriately. Where's your positive contribution?

Beast and JAFO -- just shut up.

This is pretty obvious. McKinney is just putting a public communications "power play" on, trying to show how hard they are trying, while back handing Poteet. Poteet has every right to want to play more home games versus traveling to McKinney territory.

With all that's being said on this thread about home field advantage and such and how unfair this is...the last time I checked, the McKinney coach agreed to the terms of the series. Or did someone put a gun to his head and make him play 3 games (one in Frisco, 2 at Poteet)? He could have rolled the dice like most coaches and flipped a coin, but he chose to negotiate!!!!

Let the boys play baseball!!!!

P.S. I'm bringin' my empty gatorade bottle tonight!

By the way....thanks Sandy for posting the article.

You know the thread "If I knew then what I know now what would I have done differently?"...the answer is not post!

Should I feel afraid?

Yeah thanks Sandy thata girl. We are just being loud , rowdy, and obnoxious.

You all have to meet Sandy some day -- she's a class act.....now her husband....well....ummm....nm. <- borderline manners violation

Hey, we shouldn't kill the messenger. I don't know Sandy but I don't think she did anything wrong....

Now the guy that wrote the article...that's a different story. It's a good thing they did away with public hangin's in Texas!

No way Sandy. We are not that bad. Its all in fun. It would have been a boring week without that post.

You'll see me at the game I'll be wearing green.

I'll be the one in Blue and Gold...

Should I feel afraid?

Only in Mesquite

Good luck to the McKinney Lions tonight. Headed to the game now.

P.S. Remember the game on Friday night is at Tillery. Thats by the rodeo.
