Scores from Monday Night

What do you think of the upcoming Flower Mound vs Duncanville matchup? Will the Flower Mound pitching be hurt by innings thrown on 5/1?

I don't think Duncanville has a chance against FM. Arms should be ready by Thursday or Friday, whichever day they start the series on. I say it's a sweep by FM!

Southlake beat Colleyville

Last I heard Colleyville was beating Denton Ryan.

Colleyville beat Denton Ryan

Final score 4-2

Have had time to regroup after our game tonight. First off tonight I had the opportunity to meet UpnIn at the game and what a great person he is and I am soooo glad to put a face to the name........for years I have heard about you and your son and you truly are the class act that I have heard about!

Didn't get to meet Funneldrill but did get a nice PM and text from him, DeSoto you are a very lucky school and FD have a great summer and I know you will have much success next year!!!!

As to our playoff game tonight, it was a hard loss for the Marcus team. Our team had really come together as a team these past 9 games and was really playing their hearts out against some teams that were sometimes bigger than we were,against some teams that maybe had more depth than we had and against some teams that had more player experience. In the games we won our team always walked away knowing that they had played good/talented teams and respected that in those teams. Tonight we played a very talented team and they beat us "between the lines" kudo's to FMHS.. And THANK YOU Marcus coaches and players for a GREAT RIDE, it ended too soon, but there was a lot of good in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight I want to wish the 3 teams in our district (Allen, Lewisville and FMHS) the best of luck during their post season run. Enjoy each and every game because each game you play is one more game than the rest of us will have had and one more game/gift you are giving to your seniors and their parents....appreciate it!!!

I hope our team is in your shoes next year. Luckily, I am a parent of a Junior on our team, and we will have another year and hopefully another run for the playoffs........on the other hand I am also a very sad parent as I will be losing a large group of senior parents and players that I have grown to love, respect and admire and I hope their hearts are full of good memories and I hope that their next life chapter is full of promise.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND REPRESENT YOUR SCHOOL/DISTRICT/AND THE METROPLEX WELL!!!!

We will be watching and cheering for each and every one of you because now you are playing the game for all of us that are done for the season.

Nice post oldbat...........

OBN ~ You have a PM
Wonderful Post!!!

Good job to all the teams in the playoffs. As someone that is used to still be playing at this time of year, enjoy everyday you have out there.

I probably will not be attending any games this weekend, my daughters have said so. Next weekend, I want to get out there and watch some great high school baseball and hopefully meet some of you in the process.

Good luck to everyone still playing and to second what OBN said, represent the metroplex well!

I love reading OBN posts. So much empathy and passion for kids and the game they love. As a mom I appreciate her thinking like a mom first all the time. Now it's on to summer ball and a whole new set of kids/parents to support and love. Hope the dissapointment lingers for just long enough to be motivation for next year but not long enough to cause a "hangover" in the summer. Good luck to you and yours!

OBN--Last night was a great game played by both teams, our boys happened to come out ahead this one. It's too bad that someone has to go home but Marcus can so with their heads up high! With parents like you OBN, they can't go wrong! Good luck to the Marcus boys during the summer and we'll try our darndest to keep the Flower Mound name in the game!

Hintite,
Ditto on the motivation for the next season...And I do love this game mainly because of the friendships my family has made throughout the years and the lessons my son has learned from those that love the game and give to the game....

I will miss the post season thrills but looking forward to a summer filled with great baseball...........

Maybe our paths will cross this summer Hintite, send me a PM with the team your son plays on and I will do the same......

GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND REPRESENT YOUR SCHOOL/DISTRICT/AND THE METROPLEX WELL!!!!

I love it when teams from the North 1/2 of Texas beats the teams from the South 1/2 of Texas in the finals.

Here's to all the teams in Regions 1 & 2 winning state, whoever they may be!

Good luck to all.

NRPMom,
Congrats to your son and FMHS, it was such a well played game-you guys really started off with a bang and kept on pushing towards that victory......

What a crowd we had last night it just shows how much our community supports these 2 fine programs.....

Congrats and GOOD LUCK..........

ob-n,

Sorry about the outcome, but you definitely win the classy award. As always, your perspective outweighs your disappointment.

Good luck this summer and keep us "posted".

Heard the Lewisville Concession Stand ran out of food in the 4th inning?

And they call themselves Farmers!!!

Collikar ~ check your PM

KD:
Standing room only last night, a goldmine for the concession stand!!!!!

Speaking of the Farmers I think they discovered their "Field of Dreams" this season and I wish them nothing but the best!!!!!!! Like you KD I have a few on that team I am rooting for as well...........

OldBat-Never, aka Classy Lady
As we both said yesterday, prior to the game, I'm sorry that it has to come down to one of our teams having to miss out on the opportunity to move ahead in the play-offs. "Your" kids truly showed their stuff in the run up to last night's game. I applaud their hard work,skill,determination and heart!Best wishes to your team-especially the seniors! Now on to you (Cue the violins) I applaud you as well- always the well wisher, voice of reason and all-around true friend. I sincerely cherish our friendship and value your sincere congratulations, words of encouragement and best wishes! Good Luck in Summer Ball and Have a Great Time! PS Sounds like I plan on not speaking to you for some time when we both know that we will probably speak at length tonight! Thanks Oldbat-Never for all you do! Amazing Race?

Catchallmom:
You crazy, crazy girlllllllllllllll.....First off, nice hit by your son last night!.......

yes, it was a tough, tough night as we both knew it was the end for someone and we both knew one of us had a phone call to make to the other, but what got me through it was remembering the phone call you made just a week or so ago when the tables were turned and you were the one making the "class act" call, you my friend taught me that one!

The bitter sweet point of last night is I am now in a different stage than you are, unlike last year when we were both full of excitment and anticipation of playoffs....... I am now having to start thinking about summer and next year and the tears are sitting there behind the eyeballs knowing there is only 1 year left of this ride known as HS Baseball...........the highs/the lows/the what the heck is this..........that we have gone through since the boys were 11..........Maybe this has been our "Amazing Race"........

GOOD LUCK, keep the scores called in/texted in and I owe you a coffee (cheaper than the steak KD owes me).

OBN and Catchall

I thought things had cleared up, but after reading that exchange the skies are pouring again.

AND...I have three more years to go and a ten yr. old. I'll NEVER make it.

FMHS vs Duncanville
Thursday 7:00 in Duncanville
One game series

Lewisville was a lot more convenient!

----- Boys we've been ratted out!-----


Thanks for the kind words. Very nice to meet you...where was your uniform Hazel?! I have been called a lot of things similar to your refernece but it never started "cl", mostly the "cl" was dropped! Appreciate your positive attitude and love and support of the kids. One of my former players is graduating senior of the Mauraders and I hated to see his season end. Waited to give him a hug and words of encouragement, he is a tough kid and competitor. On the upside I did find a Summer team for another Marauder along with both my boys. I beleive in the kids and wish all moving on the best of luck in their endeavours. I preach to the kids that I have coached that the lessons learned in this crazy game will help them deal with the issues they will be facing in their life's journey. Baseball is not life but it certainly is good training groung for life.

As for Catchallmom, she keeps me in check! She is class and she gives me freedom to beat her kid PRN! She knows how I feel about her and her kid! (tissue please) Anyway goodluck to all!

OBN---You have a PM...

Right on UpnIn!

And a PM is back at you.

OBN...I heard FM had an ejection in your game do you have the details?

Also, I was heart broken to see you not make the playoffs this year. I was hoping to play you again.

Come watch us .....you have the time.(just kidding)

OBN- PM back atcha! Should clear things up!
