tonight's 9-4A matchups

Lee will be on the hill for MHS, not sure who will go for Sherman but there won't be an upset in this one. (By that I mean there is no favorite) Should be a great game at Sherman.

Other matchups:

Wakeland at Liberty
Frisco at North
Denison at Centennial

I agree with you LionPop, Mckinney VS Sherman should be a great game but with all due respect to the other teams in the district, Mckinney is the favorite everytime they step on the field because of their starting pitchers. I will say that I believe Sherman has the best chance to beat them, especially at their home park. I'm not sure who is throwing for them but I think the little lefty gives them the best shot. My upset prediction is Liberty over Wakeland. I think Durham throws another gem at home against a great hitting Wakeland team.

OK, I would agree with that. Good point. In that case MHS should be on upset alert. Liss is the lefty you are talking about but I think he pitched on Friday. (Probably will be Powell for Sherman)

15-20 MPH wind blowing out in Sherman tonight.

LA, I love the quote attached to your posts!! I have heard great things about Mr. Adair from former players and coaches. Alot of people admired him! No wonder, if this quote is from him!! Sound like a man that put God first in his life!! thank you for sharing this little reminder!!

If I'm not mistaken, the fields at Liberty and North are situated where a south wind blows straight out. Maybe it will be the hitters turn to shine tonight.

Where is the Sherman stadium located? What's the address or street it is on?

I believe the address is close to 1121 W. Taylor


75 north.....take TRAVIS / TAYLOR exit
Take a left under 75 and road curves to the right.

Take a left at Taylor. Park and field will be on the right.

Watch out for the dips. (road dips)

If you have GPS the address is:

Sherman Veterans Field
1121 W Taylor St
Sherman, TX 75092

By the way, if you are going to the game it is a must to get there an hour early and stop off at MG's for a tasty burger. It's only about 2 minutes from the field.

Wow, impressive prognostication, I might be headed to Wynstar Friday.....wanna come?

In all the game was good, but both teams had errors that they should not be making. We ended up seeing both Powell and Liss. (Powell started and Liss came in) They both pitched well and we were fortunate to get 6 runs across.

Lee finished very strong, 7th inning was what you hope to see from a pitcher with a three run lead.

Powell hit a monster home run to straight center for Sherman.

BTW, agree with Robert. The burgers were awesome last night!

I watched the North VS Frisco game. Very impressed with Ladd -- it wasn't his best performance as he didn't have the command I think he normally does but it's easy to see how he leads the metroplex in K's. North is a s****** bunch and obviously well coached. Frisco hit the ball well but pitchers walked 10 or 11 batters -- tough to win at any level with that many free passes.

Agree 100%. I watched him throw that breaking ball that hits the dirt in front of the plate to get the third strike 4 or 5 times in the same game. When it is working it is about as sharp breaking as I have seen in HS.

North doesn't have as much overall talent as past years but they still have some outstanding players.

Ladd is pretty dang good. I saw him this past summer. Definitely one of the best around.

This is not news to anyone who has seen him pitch, but, if you happen to win a game at North, be sure to not get on their field without a bodyguard.

I think it is just coaches' wives that there is an issue with.

And knowing her........I'm sure you will intimidate her to never do it again.......

The coaches and district should have rescheduled Fridays games to tonight to avoid the thunderstorms and Good Friday. Rainouts always make for interesting pitching decisions!

I think they were originally scheduled to play tonight and rescheduled to play Friday.

The Frisco schools have school tomorrow so they could not play tonight (UIL rules).

That is correct, MISD has school tomorrow also.

It sure would have been nice to get the games in tonight. Might as well get out the buckets and sump pumps for tomorrow!! Maybe we can get them all in by Saturday night. Good luck to all the teams. Might have some district shake-ups.

Anyone know what 9-4A win/loss looks like after
last night?

I know McKinney won 2-1 over Wakeland; Centennial won 7-2 over North. Don't know about the others.

District Standings 9-4A

McKinney 8-0
Sherman 5-3
McKinney North 5-3
Frisco Wakeland 4-4
Frisco Centennial 4-4
Frisco Liberty 4-4
Frisco 2-6
Denison 0-8

Can't remember the last time a team in this district had a 3 game lead, maybe the 2006 North team? Looks like a decent team will be left out.

Agree 100%
If you look at some of the matchups remaining it is hard to say which four will be in. I'm impressed with Liberty, if they have Durham on the hill they can beat anybody. (I guess what I really mean is I am most surprised by Liberty)

ok there are two BIG matchups tonight.

North at Sherman
Wakeland at Centennial

Nuke - your hot on picks, who wins tonight? Do you see an upset in the other two games?

Does anyone know who won the Sherman vs North game?

No score on the DMN site...

Sherman
