Gametimer, what did Liberty Christian look like yesterday?


Liberty is playing in the James Taylor this week.

They have wins over Corsicana, Abilene, and Denton Ryan with two to play today.

They won the Southwest tourney with wins over Lynch, Faith, Southwest and Fort Worth Christian.

7-0 to start the season.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Liberty win the Denton Ryan tournament as well. Johnny Isom is a fantastic coach and runs one of the most successful small-school programs in the state of Texas. They are one of the class private school programs in the state year in and year out.
It's been an interesting season in TAPPS 5A Dist 1, although in the end there have been few surprises. TCA and Nolan have been the frontrunners all year, and now they are playing for all the marbles in the final district game Friday night in Fort Worth. TCA tagged Nolan for their lone district loss a couple of weeks ago 2-1 when Hursh pitched a complete game 3-hit gem and hit a home run in front of several pro scouts, giving Nolan's Cox (11-1-1) his only defeat this season despite only giving up four hits and 1 ER. Regardless the outcome, congratulations to both schools for playing some fine team baseball this year with some outstanding individual performances.

Pretty sad state of affairs when the #6 seed from your district gets the easiest draw of all of them. That being said, they still had to do it on the field. Congrats to TCA and JPII for moving on.


Agreed, the Houston schools are a tough draw for the 2, 3 and 5 seeds - that is why winning district is huge for a comfortable path to the state semi-finals.

Congrats to Houston Christian for 9-6 victory over Trinity Christian. TCA's Jason Hursh just didn't have his normal control, even though he was still hitting 93-94 on the guns of the 10 or so pro scouts in attendance. Great season for TCA to get to the semi's.

Congrats to Houston St. Thomas for it's thrilling 2-1 victory over rival Houston St. Pius X. A two-out bases loaded hit batsman brought in the winning run in the bottom of the 7th. The Pius pitcher (heck the entire team) deserved a better finish, but his misplay of a grounder in that inning kept St. Thomas alive.

On a sour note, I was amazed by the unsportsmanlike conduct by Pius after the game in cussing out one of the field umps. It started after the game concluded with one of the Pius coaches yelling at the umpire before the traditional post-game handshake. It escalated with numerous Pius players joining in and cursing out the umpire to his face. It was an ugly scene, and thankfully the other umpires ushered the ump off the field before it could get physical. Strange thing is that the field ump wasn’t involved in the last call, and there didn't seem to be any reason for Pius to have targeted him in such a manner.

I wonder how TAPPS will handle Pius’ punishment? I suspect it will have to play out in the 2011 season, maybe even with post-season banishment.

Was anyone else at the game and have any insights? Even this old-timer was turning red from the blue language coming out of the mouths of the Pius players.
