Top 4A teams in Texas

arlington heights and walker kelly will have another good year!

I do think those teams from the South that were mentioned will be strong. Arlington Heights and McKinney North will be the cream of the crop in DFW. Poteet will be strong, but lost a lot of pitching. Highland Park can't replace the pitching and didn't have the hitting last year to go with that pitching. McKinney North lost 5-6 seniors, but they had a deep bench and a number of returning starters. A couple of move ins will help them a lot. As always, I'm sure there will be a surprise or two also.

Brent-

Moody has just gone down to 4A, and their 5A track record seems pretty impressive:

2002- Regional Semi-Finalist (lost to SA Reagan)
2003- State Semi-Finalist (Lost to Round Rock in Semi's, 0-2)
2004- State Champs (Def Flower Mound 6-1)
2005- Regional Finalist (Lost to Smithson Valley 0-1)
2006- State Semi-Finalist (Lost to Katy 0-2)

Not a bad track record in 5A. I think they should and will be a strong contender in 4A.

Brenham

Moody should be in the running for the 4A title, considering how well they have always done in 5A.

Schertz Clemens? I don't think so.

New Braunfels won it all last season, but with the graduation of Jeremy Erben (Weatherford), I think that New Braunfels Canyon will be the team to be reckoned with out of New Braunfels. JP Ramirez, Tyler Ogle, and some more of their '08 buds are very talented. Moody is always good, but with Danny Grande off to Oklahoma, they lost a great pitcher. Still - they always seem to find more talent. Clemens has stepped down from 5A to 4A, but I am only aware of one of their players competing in quality select ball.

The great thing about this year is that everything is wide-open this year. (Looking at the state picture)

In 4A im going with Corsicana, they only lost one player from last years team. They will have 8 Sr. and one Jr. with two stud pitchers.

Frisco maynot be one of the top teams however they will be very competitive this year, they have 10 seniors or so returning.
Landry D. and Brent C. will be there number 1 and number 2 pitchers. Tyler S. will be leadoff ver y good ball player.

OK, I am back......football season is over for us, I've used both my deer tags, and I am starting to think about baseball season again.

In East Texas, Longview Pine Tree is set to have a great season. We've got a new coach (Steve Marrs who has taken two different schools to the state championship game), both of our top pitchers are back from injury and throwing well (Jeff Thompson - TJ surgury and my son Brian - two broken scapulas), a new catcher who is entering public school for the first time after being homed schooled for 10 years - he is one of the best I've seen, and a young hitter (sophomore)named David Perkins that many of you will hear about in the next couple of years. He is the best hitter I have seen maybe other than Kaskow or Tant Shepherd - and he is only 15 years old.

Alot of things have to happen obviously but these guys should be good. They are coming to the McKinney tournament in March.

Also, while I am at it, congratulations to all the Tiger players on all the committments and signings. In fact, congratulations to all the signings by everyone. It is great to see all their hard work pay off.

I'll cruise the boards again now that I have time again. I still have a hog to kill and then crappie time is coming up but I really look forward to baseball season again. We actually may be able to launch boats again here in East Texas.

Crawdad,

I believe we are in that McKinney tourney as well (Arlington Seguin) if so introduce yourself. Is it February yet?

Kirk -- are you watching these discussions?

Crawdad, are you a Longview football fan?? Is it ok to ask that ? on a baseball website?

43momma, I am a Longview PINE TREE football fan. There are three high schools in Longview - 3A Spring Hill, 4A Pine Tree, and 5A Longview. Our football season ended two weeks ago after the regular season.

Brenham and Montgomery have been a power in region 3 (4A) for many years. Will be no different for 2007
