Since I know how much everyone on here loves polls Big Grin, here is what the star-telegram put out this morning. Here is 5A and 4A with last season's record. I am not a big fan of it because they don't rank alot of the schools from the Northern D/FW area. The usually include the schools from outside Tarrant County that are in our district (Weatherford, Granbury, Burleson) but not the Lewisville schools, Coppell, etc. So take it for what it is worth, I do and you'll understand what I mean after you see who they put at #8 in the 5A poll Confused.

5A
1. Arlington Martin 34-10
2. FW Paschal 25-9
3. Colleyville Heritage 23-10
4. Southlake Carroll 28-9
5. Keller 24-9
6. Duncanville 19-13
7. Arlington 19-12
8. Mansfield Summit 13-15
9. L.D. Bell 16-16
10. Grapevine 14-16

4A
1. FW Arlington Heights 27-8
2. Keller Fossil Ridge 22-12
3. Aledo 23-9
4. Cleburne 28-9
5. FW Southwest 26-9
6. Birdville 27-13
7. Boswell 23-15
8. Crowley 19-12
9. Azle 22-11
10. Joshua 15-14

FW Paschal will be a great defensive/pitching team, no doubt... but they will not be able to compete with the other squads with quality pitching because the offensive approach they have there.. chop wood!

Same as last year... great regular season, 2nd round... gone.

in 4A I would have to move Joshua up with thier top 2 pitchers coming back and some new P who is lighting it up... CROWLEY??? What do they have?? Anyone know why Fossil Ridge is so high? They must have a big time player coming back - or two...??
This list is worse than a Larry the cable guy movie!!!

Diablo...absolutely correct about paschal, they have no idea how to approach hitting,in fact there defense may let them down too...Our little 4A team pretty much handled them yesterday with out several starters. they do have some pitching.

The 4A list is not too bad except they left out Denton, Ryan and others, Azle might win 10 games total this year. and Boswell wont break .500

Fossil Ridge is returning pitching and several key starters including last years (2-3 pichers) and will have plenty of offense, They are as good as anyone in the top 6-7.

Crowley??? complete mystery how they are there...
RMMTX101-
yep... they have some kids that can play... and a lot of those "players" will be pitchers at the next level... but they have HS kids who are good athletes that have very good eye/hand coordination.. if you have that you can be a good hitter (for average) in HS, but it will not carry over as one begins to play at the higher levels where the pitching is so much better...

PHS will have a good regular season... but once they see better pitchers it will crumble.. ala last night..

They went against RB from Summit (who will not be a college pitcher) but can throw hard and keep the ball down... and PHS was run-ruled, one hit will hardly ever win a game...
RB is a "dirty" pitcher... no doubt... but he isnt a top 20 in the DFW and my point was PHS' philosophy on hitting will knock them out of the playoffs early after they prob post another (record-wise) good season... a team as rich as them in pitching should make a serious run in playoffs - but wont...

and RMM... of course they will win more than they lose... that wasn't the discussion...
