North Texas 4A poll

Posters, Denton Guyer has been flying under the radar -- who can provide us with a recap on their team, coaches, moms, food, etc.?

I can't wait to congratulations Crews on his school decision.

Not a bad poll, but you kill any credibility you might have by putting Little Elm as an "others". They will not win a single game in 9-4A for the second year in a row.

in addition to seamheads, we're bleeding heart liberal journalists trying to give out a little love to little elm before the reality of district sets in ..


what's the thought on lake dallas.. is there anything to go with murray? does that sophomore franklin monster play baseball too?

Lake Dallas has about 3 returners, they will be competitive, just very young this season. Boo Rodriguez can hit as well as Murray. Good fielding SS.

Denton Guyer #2?

Geez...give me a break. This guy's polls are BRUTAL!

Polls are a very subjective thing. Little Elm is listed in the others catagory becuase the have 7 wins, yes they haven't played anyone of note, but they still have 7 wins.

Pierce will finish no higher than 5th in thar district ...... i hope this comment was not to negative for bring it

had pictures of pearce from this year....that's a big factor...also giving them some props for last year.. we have our eye on forney, but those guys need to do something in 4A

Well - I think you got the no. 1 team right

McKinney is going to be awful tough.

Denton Ryan should be higher on the list in my opinion. Arlington Heights is 2-3 but i definately think they are better than a lot of the teams up there too, just lost to some good teams. After playing Denton Ryan, Arlington Heights and Highland Park, I would put Highland park 3rd.

heights is a team to watch... what did you think of kelly.. it's very early but wary of a small lefty who has pitched a ton in his career and had to shut down last year...

fyi: walker kelly lost his first hs game to mighty colleyville, 7-1, in his comeback.. now 29-1 for his career...

it's awful hard to put a 2-3 team as No. 1 but heights will get ranked...and I had an pro scout tell me to drop ryan when i showed him a list that had them higher... the life of polls


guyer appears very hot right now.. need to shake out with them for sure

Boyd loses to rowlett 3-1 and beats flower mound and no love? Flying under the radar - love it.

I've seen Guyer play several times, they have earned thier wins so far... but there just isn't too much there, they are vulnarable, they dont have dominate pitching,(although they have several decent pitchers) they are not very offensive, and they have some holes defensively, they do seem to be coached well, Most solid teams will beat Guyer!

nortexbaseball,

Id like to refer you to the "Delicate Subject" thread.

I like the HP team. With that lineup and defense, they will be tough to beat if they get enough pitching. Denton Ryan is also solid with better pitching and count on Heights being in the running in the end. McKinney North has to be listed in the top 5.

dallas blog alert : Since your poll came out
Denton Guyer lost 3-2 to FW Western Hills
Denton Guyer lost to Denison 6-3 - Denison record is 3-5-1

Would you now admit that was a reach When is your next Poll coming out ?

Guyer plays no one in their pre-district schedule they come into district every year on a high note cause they have been beating the 2A and 3A teams they play. Then reality sets in and they get it handed to them. They have a good group of kids and should be competitive in the next couple of years but as of right now they just don't have it in them. They are in a tough district that no one really notices both Denton and Denton Ryan made it to the 3rd round last year before losing heart breakers in the 3rd game. The you have Rider who is always competitive. I just don't see how you can say Guyer can compete when their "Ace" pitcher hasn't won a district game his entire career. It's time for people to start noticing what is going on at Denton High they lost the two most powerful hitters last year in Dustin Riley and Preston Springer, and yet they still fill the holes like every year and are 5-0 in district. Expect their game tuesday against Denton Ryan to be a star filled night. There will be 5 players who have already accepted college scholarships and more to some. It will be a heated rivalry and could be the turning point in both teams seasons.

Denton High is the team to watch in 5-4A. Kinzey is a good coach and has some quality athletes at Guyer, but High has an established program and big talent. Although most on this board don't know the chess game that has gone on in Denton ISD athletics since Guyer opened, it is noteable that DHS baseball has not only survived but flourished. Mulkey, Baker, Dozier, Andress and the other Broncos should be playing ball well into May.

FWIW, he's 5"11+ which isn't exactly small. He's pitched a fairly limited # of innings in his hs career. And I wouldn't really called it a "comeback" per se as he's never missed a hs start, just sat out the fall. He looked good against Rowlett.

waiting for tonite's games and then updating.. guyer is a long shot I'd say..
