Hey, you never know, that's why they play 'em...

We got our spring schedule last night and we are back at the Arlington Martin tournament this year. See if #11 can groove something to #17 since these aren't district games... Big Grin

What would everyones pick be for the top 10 5A teams of 2008 in the DFW area?

In no order:
Allen- will have a lot of reloading to do. Lost entire OF, SS, 1B? and 2 of top 3 pitchers to grad. I wouldn't have in my top ten right now but since it is Allen, I am sure they have talent coming up
Coll. Heritage- they have some hitters but do they have pitching? If they have pitching, they will be tough.
Coppell- Lost top pitchers and hitters. Will Morris make-up the difference, some. They also have a 2010 pitcher who has a chance to be special.
Flower Mound- see Allen
FM Marcus- not sure I would put them in a top ten
Keller- Now that KD son is gone they have no chance Smile Keller will hit and have at least one bullet on the bump. Definite top 10
Plano East- Will be better on the bump (especially with PD son) but lost hitting. If Soph. and Jr. pick-up their game, top ten.
Rowlett- lost a ton and don't return any top pitchers. Loy will have to do it all.
Rockwall- not very familar with players.
SL Carroll- Lost one of the top pitchers in the area. They have a couple of other good arms, but how is their hitting?

Should be considered:
Wylie- best 2009 pitcher in the area combined with most of their best position players, minus cathcer.
Plano West- if they can find pitching they will be dangerous. All top hitters return.
Naaman Forest- lost a lot, but always seem to be competitive
South Garland- ?
Hebron- if they find pitching, they have good hitters.
Newman Smith- may surprise some people. Searching for pitching depth.
Jesuit- a lot of players back from last years team


Beast, might want to add Denton Ryan to the list you gave for 4A.

Martin will be good. Wylie and Coppell may have the best 2009 players. Plano will be improved -- watch out if Burkhead adds baseball to his impressive resume. Rockwall has two strong arms. A little birdie tells me Sasche will be the real deal. And, I think Plano West's offense will be 2nd to none. Forney may surprise some -- and Poteet has the lefty and the svelte red-head. I don't think there are as many obvious dominate teams this year. Most will need contributions from inexperienced kids....but that's what makes HS baseball so intriguing.

It will also be fun to watch a few of the area stars finish their HS careers -- WK, JS, etc.

Is it spring yet? Cool

You vote of confidence in Colleyville was great and thanks....Pitching ought to be ok...They have a Senior that looked very strong this fall and a little lefty that might help Big Grin The program is awesome...very disciplined ...driven coaching staff.

Rowlett- Hamblin had a good summer on the mound would not think Loy will be alone

It will all boil down to the work done in the next 10 weeks...IMO

CHHS has all three starting pitchers back from a playoff team a year ago. Also, a quality hitting team. They are the District 5-5A odds-on favorite.

Keller will be very strong at the plate and Merck on the mound every other district game. Playoff team for sure.

Southlake Carroll graduated all but three varsity players, but they always have talent and many of their JV players would start for other schools' varsity teams.

Richland looks to be the most improved team in the district with some younger players stepping into key roles, especially on the mound.

Grapevine returns much of their team, including starting pitching. OF is where they were hit the hardest with graduation, but they will be tough.

Northwest was very young last year, so much of the team is back. More arms available, but no clear ace. Pitching will have to carry the spotty hitting...if that happens, will compete.

Keller Central seems to always be a wild card in this district. Usually hits well and can beat the best on any given day, but can also lose to the worst. Hard team to read.

Haltom has a new coach I think, so look for them to improve, but it may not be this year. Need to develop the younger players, but should be a force in future years.

PD Martin lost their #1,#3,#5 & #6 hitters and their #5 & #6 pitchers from last years team so don't expect much from us this year.


Northwest lost a senior benchwarmer and two senior pinch runners from last year's team as well. Cool

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. IMO I think McKinney, Waxahachie, Highland Park are at the top in the area in 4A. They all three have alot of talent coming back. JMHO.



Looking West...Don't rule out district 6-4A. nobody thought much of them last year and both Boswell and Birdville went 4 and 5 rounds deep into the play-offs, not to mention fossil ridge losing a third game extra inning playoff match to Denton. All those teams lost most of thier starters, But Fossil Ridge returns thier #1,and #3 starters and had 3 move ins including two Puerto Rican brothers who I heard can flat play! Saginaw returns the entire team with several move-ins(first Senior class)... which reminds me...Rockwall Heath looks to be dominant this year! (first senior class) Arlington Hieghts and Southwest return most of thier starters too...

Panther Dad,

The "little bird" is correct about Sasche, and you can include Flower Mound in the list with solid 09 players. I "hear" from reliable sources that Allen may struggle a little at the plate, but I will have to see it to believe it, and their D should be fine. Plano will be improved from last year, but they will need to find some pitching. Also agree with Kirk, if Plano West finds arms, we are all in trouble. Opponents will just have to find a way to outscore them. Wylie, along with the others, will need some of the inexperienced young men to really step up this year, especially with the bats (we will miss the long-ball from WH last year). I also hear the McKinney teams should be strong this year, along with HP. I have heard the same about Rockwall, but I don't know them well.

The UIL announced today that Mesquite Poteet has been granted permission to play their entire 2008 baseball schedule at their home field. This will include all preseason tournament games, the entire 10 4A schedule and all state playoff games up through the regional finals. The UIL is still undecided on moving the state finals to Mesquite.

It is rumored that a former Poteet coach negotiated this unusual ruling. A source close to the negotiations strongly believes the UIL will indeed move the state finals to Poteet. The unidentified UIL source acknowledged the organization is striving to create parity in the 4A ranks. They are strongly in favor of a Dallas area team winning the crown in 2008 and believe if drastic measures are not taken, another Corpus Christi team will win it all.

The UIL anticipates an outrage from teams, coaches and fans from around the state. In particular, they believe supporters of Highland Park and curiously McKinney High, will be the most vocal. It is believed that Highland Park attempted a similar negotiation several years ago but was denied. When asked, a UIL official would only say that HP representatives were not in the same league as the Poteet negotiator. As to MHS, the official said Poteet strikes a nerve with those folks, especially the moms.

Watching Keller this fall I will say that they should compete for the 5-5A title. They are deeper in arms than any time in my memory.

They hit the ball well 1-9 and will have as solid as an infield as last year.

The key is going to be Coach Stramps ability to turn some infielders into outfielders. They have one true outfielder on their projected roster. While last years outfield was patched together and they competed, it ended up costing them in a critical situation against Coppell.

The biggest loss to Keller in the offseason was two of their coaching staff.

Colleyville and Southlake will be tough and I predict that they and Keller will fight it out for the top three spots.

I will give the nod to Richland for the fourth playoff spot just because I have so much respect for Coach Wells. He plays small ball and is very aggressive on the bases and will manufacture runs. He also works the umpires better than most coaches I've ever seen.

Coppell had a very solid fall, usually that doesn't matter much except that this year it seemed the young men were committed to winning...even in the fall. As for pitching Coppell lost Green but he didn't play much anyway last year, Watten was good but it was his first year pitching in 5A. The pitching looks good, the #2 & 3 ( not counting Green) were both 4-0 and had era under 2.5, both are back. Kettler was the closer and might have been a better starter than either the 2 or 3. It just depends on if Coach English wants to use his starting SS as a pitcher or not. Several Juniors had good summers and falls. DeLa is gone but I think Coach English will find some one to fill his role.

This years pitching staff is stronger overall than last years, I base that on the fact that Coppell really never had Green around to pitch.

The 2010 player is a mystery to me, the only kid that saw any real time this fall with the varsity was a tall kid who had some velocity and had a good Fall but it takes a lot to transition to 5A varsity. Morris is a possibility but after the football injury we will have to wait and see if he pitches or not and for how long. And that will have to be after waiting for him to be eligible....well worth the wait though.

Coppell might have the fastest outfield in 5A, either Morris or Reynolds in center / left and Graber or Truddell in right. They will get to a lot of balls.

Losing Green's and Kaskow's bats hurts but Kettler and Walsh will fill the roles well.

There will be no reason for this team not to win 6-5A this year and next.....and Coach English has been quoted as saying that the 2011 freshman class is the strongest he has every had at Coppell.

Well, even though this sounds like a foregone conclusion, I guess we still have to show up because the UIL makes us. Wink

As for the poke in the eye, Meats finger is still jammed and swollen....that is one of the reasons I wish he would just focus on baseball.

By the way Coppell was also missing two top players from football and any time we can beat Plano East we'll take it.

No need to play the games I already know the out come....but watching them play the games sure is fun.

How is Hawkson coming along? Is he back to 100%? This summer should be fun with Rusty at the helm.

The big right hander of the and finished the fall well, he had two real good innings in Juptier in front of the right people. The best part was that he saw that he could compete at the elite level. And basketball has him down to 240 / 245, he should be in great shape to start the HS season.

Sorry, Hawk, Hebron and the rest are battling for 2nd place... Wink

Doesn't look like Northwest should bother with their schedule either. I guess it will be a battle of the also-rans at Ameriquest on March 4.

Fellas...Fellas...

Id like to enlighten you guys on the ball club over at Jesuit. These boys over here really know a thing or two about the ol' bat and ball. I presume the shootin' Rangers are going to come out firing like a cannonball this season. Although we already mentioned how the slingers can really toss the leather, we might want to observe the way the sluggers really put it to the leather when it comes in their wheel-house. Id expect a solid sprint to the top of their district this upcoming season. Before I finish, I want to let you know i am a little new to this interweb net baseball convo's but im sure that I will keep the prints hot when we finally kick it off.

McKinney will definitely be the front runner to win district this year. North's run of 4 in a row may be in jeopardy! It'll be a fun year in 9-4A with several teams in the running for the 3 playoff spots.

Are you kidding me kirk? First of all stating that one player can cary an entire team is ludicrous. Second drop the DBat bias and stick to the facts. Anyone that knows anything about anything understands that Rowlett has plenty of tools in the wings. I know that you are trying to put your professional spin on this. However, I think that you should review the facts a bit more. Coach Carmon would not put stock in one season. He is constantly reloading the team, at the very least to take District. To say that Rowlett will be a one man show is true Dbat bias and totally "off the cuff". I know that the one man show you described would not be in agreement with your synopsis. Basbeall is a team game and Rowlett should be ready for the challenge. How about Hamblin, Castilla, Johnson and Johnson. Look for Rowlett to be the team to beat in 10-5A as usual. Also look for Rowlett to make some noise in 5A period. I know the the one man show is what you would like to promote, however there is more there than meets the eye.

Cuffs are off, I have no bias now and think that the one man show is offensive, and just simply an uninformed statement

Just my take.....

Kirk has been like this for a long time. Always thinking that the kids playing for him from the time they were 9 or 10 were the cream of the crop and not giving others their due credit. From the time they were Texas Sports to Rattlers to Team Texas to Mustangs, DBAT, etc. he has always shown this bias.

BL and many of the other kids can play but none can be a one man show.

What a bunch of crybabies! What coach/dad doesn't like HIS players better than others? Kirk knows what he likes in players and I don't always agree with him, but it isn't only D-Bat players. You guys sound like a couple of jealous 14 year old girls. Get over it!

Keep the opinions coming Kirk, that is what drives this site.

I think Rowlett will always be good because they seem to be able to develop talent at the JV level, then reload each year. Once a team establishes a winning tradition, it becomes easier to teach the things it takes to win.......pretty much the same at Rockwall, Poteet, FM, Coppell, and a number of other schools.

I also think you guys are dog-piling Kirk unfairly. Sure, you'll accuse me of DBAT bias as well....but I don't think you'll find much of that in my posts. I'm East biased! Smile Kirk was trying to jumpstart the topic and isn't it somewhat natural to talk about the kids we know? (Kirk isn't the only one to do that) I don't think his comment was intended as a criticism of the other Eagles. Castilla, Hamblin, and Andrew Smith sounds like a pretty decent pitching foundation to me <-- don't mean to leave anyone out, I just don't know the other Rowlett pitchers.

When will Morris be eligible at Coppell (start of district?) and how severe was his injury? Their junior class is dynamite.

JAFO -- I'm thankful that you found those graemlins late in your HS career! Cool

Robert -- does Sandy know you have the password again?

Ringer1, you are right, my comments probably did come across the wrong way, for that I appologize. I simply meant that Rowlett will need to replace a lot of very good players from last year, including CF, Catcher and 4 of their top pitchers.

I have a great deal of respect for the Rowlett program, the coach and talent they seem to always have. I guess I deserved all the flamming remarks for being insensitive to the players. I believe that this website should not disparage players in any way...again I appologize!

I don't know about his return or eligiblity, I'm sure Tigermom will give us an update at some point. When ever he returns / is eligible it won't be soon enough. We are looking forward to seeing play under Coach English. As for the rest of the 2009's...their just looking to compete.

Coppell does have a 6'5" RHP in the 2010 class who could contribute and did so this fall. They did lose a stud 6'5" LHP/1B to Prestonwood Christian who would have had a solid role, but still boast one of the best Junior classes in the country!

It'll be interesting to see what Flower Mound runs out there this year. It's probably like any other year at FM where everyone says "We lost too much to be successful", yet they always re-load!

Jesuit has some pitching coming back, and also picked up a nice transfer from the New Orleans area who will really help them out on the mound.

I can guarantee that Kirk didn't mean anything against any of the other Rowlett players by his comments.

JAFO, how many of the smilies do you have in the collection?
K kirk100+ posts
No problem JAFO. As I explained in my post to Ringer1, my intent was not to slight any player. If I do, it is by accident and I expect to be called on it which I was.

Any team, highschool, college, pro, that loses key players up the middle, including starting pitching, should have to prove themselves before being annointed a top team. Again, my comments were not meant to slight a player(s) or a program. A lot of unknow players will step up and prove their abilities on the field and the top programs will prove their ability to reload.

funneldrill, we do have 4 pitchers coming back but none of the 4 are anywhere near 90 so we still have to score lots of runs to stay in games.

I'd say that based on who has what coming back and how they did last year, Paschal has to be the favorite in our district. After that, it will be a dogfight! I do like Weatherford's pitching staff. Now if they can keep those kids from "moving" to Brock. Wait, that would help us...yeah, that Coach Massey at Brock does a grrrrrrreat job! Wink

Yes I had to leave Coppell. The 2 1/2 hours I was spending on the road each day was killing not just me, but my family as well. If it were not for the drive, I would have stayed there as long as they would have kept me around. I can't say enough good things about Coach English and Coach Hernandez. Top quality guys and an awesome program.

I'm starting up the baseball program at McKinney Christian Academy this year. 10 minute commute is nice and probably the best things are: 1) I get to see my family more. That boy of mine is throwing 95 from the left side as a 2 year old. I see some nice negotiations coming in the future...and 2) I get to bring my twin 5 year old girls to school everyday! I've never had the opportunity to be a part of that since I've been coaching and teaching in other cities. It's a true blessing. Not to mention my bride LOVES the new set up!

With that being said, if anyone is interested in finding out more about MCA, just check out www.mckinneychristian.org Sorry, I just HAD to plug the school. clapping

What ball clubs(and/or ballplayers) do you think will really sock it to em' and put and few tallies on the blackboard?

Which ball clubs(and/or ballplayers) do you think will make some hitters look like a bunch of flappa gals a little loopy on too much gin?

Coaches go to Waco next week for the THSBCA annual convention and clinic. Top speakers are Mississippi State Head Coach Ron Polk and of course Roger Clemens and that media circus! Can't wait to be a part of that!!!

Oh, and you can take this to the bank, on Friday, January 25 the weather will be 40 degrees with a light rain. Wink
