PWHS v. Georgetown

Yes, they have a chance. Georgetown is a very good baseball team. I think this one goes three games and whoever wins this series will end up being your state champion. JMO

Any team that can sweep Rowlett- can play with anybody. I thought Rowlett was the best team in Region 2. And I agree with Ringer. The winner of this series will win it all. You gotta like the Wolves' chances of winning any Game 1 with Flora. And you gotta like the Wolves' chances of outscoring anybody in a Game 3. This should be an awesome series to watch. Good luck to West, as the metroplex teams at the 4A and 5A levels took a big hit in Round 4. Congrats to Coach Boxley at Forney and Coach Carmon at Rowlett on solid seasons.

So guys -- if you're coaching the Wolves, do you match up Flora and Jungmann? Or do you throw someone like Blumm in game 1 and take your chances in three?

PD _ Its a great question. Jungmann has won his last 26 starts in high school. Last year he was 13-0 and he has the same record this year. ANY high school pitcher can be beat, but it is a risk throwing your ace against him.

If the Plano coach is like our's he will probably wait to see who their throwing and throw his ace the next game. Anything can happen in game 3

It will be a tall task to score runs on Jungmann but PW would be the team that could do it.

Jungmanns record before this season was in 2A, huge difference However, His record this year is very impressive.

If it were me I would save Flora for game 2.

"It will be a tall task to score runs on Jungmann but PW would be the team that could do it."


Any pun intended there nortexbaseball? Jungmann is a tall young man. Yes he was playing 2A baseball prior to coming over to Georgetown, but he was good on the summer circuit and is obviously legitimate for what he has done this year. Should be an outstanding series, as should the FM-SLC series.

Dillon...A little pun on his height (not talent). It has been alluded to before on this site; it is exciting to watch these kids progress through each year. From the age of 10-15 (before he became so tall) Jungmann was one of the top SS/ hitters in the region, on top of being one of the best pitchers.

BTW… I think SLC and PW will win their series.

I have not seen either team play this year but Georgetown has THREE kids going to UT next year. Not saying they will win because of that but should be an exciting series.

West has a Nebraska signee, a TCU signee, and two Texas Tech commitments, plus a strong JUCO signee and one of the best sophomores in the state. GT is in UT's backyard -- it's not unusual for those kids to become Horns.

With that said, I still think it comes down to pitching and defense.

PD - Im not sure if thats all it will come down to, but if it is then I feel good about Georgetown's chances. They do have three D1 Pitchers and the defense is very good. It will be a great series with what looks like 10 college bound players competing in it plus the underclassmen.

One Eagle, Please pass on my best to Scott and Shelly Stone. I went to high school with them. If their boys are the kind of kids they were, Georgetown should be proud.

PD... I realize that Georgetown is in UT's back yard but you have to admit that 3 kids all going to one powerhouse program from the same HS doesn't happen very often.

Tru dat Mav -- it's a great accomplishment for the players and I'm sure they are deserving.

Time for predictions....I think Georgetown takes this, but of course I am biased. Pitching always wins the big series and the Eagles have too much of it for the PW.

Georgetown has one of the best pitching staffs I've seen all season. I would say they have a chance no matter who they were playing. Jungmann, McKirahan, and Miller, have been money for the Eagles.

But the PW offense is much stronger than GT.

Slight pitching edge to GT, offensive edge to PW.

It will be a good series.

Have never seen PW Offense but I here they are very salty.

GO WOLVES!!!!!!!!

PD - After watching last week, I will agree that PW has a much stronger offense than Georgetown. However, Georgetowns edge in pitching is just as great an advantage. They are much better on the mound than West. It will be a great series, but I still think pitching will win out.

Eagle One,

Just remember, GT is pitching to West hitters and vice versa, sometimes that equals out a pitching advantage. Should be good.

P.S. It ain't like West has a bunch of guys with 2+ ERA's.

I have been right so far:

PW in three. To much offense for GT to handle over three games.

Let's hope so!!!

I have faith in PW, if the pitching is what everybody is saying should be a barn burner

My last comment for discussion. I have seen these guys play all year and watched all 3 games of PW v. CP last week. The pitching that PW has is typical of what Georgetown faces every night in their district. I dont think PW has seen the caliber of pitching they are about to face. Again, I think its going to be a great high school series and I hope both teams play well. Its fun talking about all this and I want game one to hurry up and start!

OneEagle, didn't Georgetown lose 3 district games? Just curious how they lost those ? I know you play in tough district.

Beast - Yes, they did lose 3 games in district. Our district is very tough, but there are a lot of tough districts out there. I guess the reason that I feel good about tonite and the series is all the tough teams weve beaten...Atascocita, Klein Collins 3 times, Kingwood, CC Moody, Cy Fair and then our playoff run - Collins, Klein and Rowlett. Its going to be fun.

Ya'll don't discredit Georgetown. With Jungmann on the mound they are probably the best team in the state. After that, they have a solid defensive and can hit the ball better than most teams Rowlett played all year.

just got a call from a friend
Georgetown-7
Plano West-0

Do it Saturday West..

I listened to the game on-line and it was a tough night for PW....I think PW had 2 hits...one from Sophomore Blake Parker and one by Junior Donald Plant. Kiser was HBP twice. Several hits for Georgetown. Jungmann was dominant.

PW pitched Johnson, Huber and Brown.

Hopefully PW will fare better on Saturday.

I think PW will come out and be ready for Game 2 with their ace. Don't count the wolves out. Hats off to Jungmann he was nasty tonight

If Flora can throw a gem and win game 2, I like Blum in game 3...underrated sophamore that my kid said was flat dirty. But I am a PW homer now.
GO WEST!!!!!!!!!

I'm pulling for West, as the metroplex needs a representative at the State Tourney that can compete a little bit down there for a change in 5A.

And yes, Andrew Blum is the real deal for a 16 year old...there's no question to that. (Great kid too!). But, Georgetown has a LHP going to Texas and a RHP going to TCU left to start games 2 & 3. That's pretty tough if you ask me...

Don't let the rest of the GT staff scare you. When Rowlett played them the lefty was having some control issues that were continuing from previous weeks. The righty can be beaten. The key is the defense. GT has a very underrated defense. I remaining game(s) are really too close to call.

..

I think there is a rule somewhere that proclaims Southlake has to win a state title in something every year. So with this mindset, they (Carroll) might have something to say about competing and representing in 5A.

Go North Texas!

Ringer,
That rest of the staff that doesnt scare you has had a phenominal season. Miller shutout Klein two weeks ago and they are better than West at the plate. He did not have good stuff against Rowlett. McKirahan has not had control issues - not sure of your source on that one. He had control issues last week. Georgetown is in great shape with several really good arms left. And all that discussion about the Eagles not being abel to hit - 13 hits last night. ITs a good start

OE,

All I can tell you is what I heard prior to game two of our series. What I heard and what I saw were the same.

By the way, I didn't know the lefties name and wouldn't have posted it if I did. But in regards to him, we had heard he had control issues the week before and when he came in he did not have the control the starter had. I never said he wasn't a good pitcher. It just wasn't his day.

Other than Jungmann, Rowlett saw pitchers like yours up here all year long. Our bats just didn't come around on that day. That's baseball. I would guess PW has probably seen just as good of pitching in their district as well. We actually played two of the teams in their district so I know they did. So don't under estimate the Wolves.

With that being said I'm going to pick.....
