Texas High 6 Lufkin 4 (Tigers advance)

Tigers jumped out to a 4-1 lead. Lufkin fought back in the top of the 7th to tie the game 4-4. Tigers got a 2 run walk off home run by Halter to win in the bottom half of the inning.

Wow. Didn't this Lufkin team have members that were on that little league world series team a few years back?

They had three, the rest were on the JV team.  The Lufkin JV was 24-4 and Lufkin Sophomores 23-1-1.  All three on varsity this year will be back next season.    Texas High did what they had to do to win and Lufkin did not. A big WOW to lots of folks. Hats off to Texas High.

Random thoughts Baseball:

15-5A is (12-2) Vs. 16-5A in the softball and baseball bi-district playoffs this year.

Texas High's upset of Lufkin has got to be one of the biggest surprises in 5A.....can Marshall do the same???

Nac's domination of Longview is pretty surprising.  Pitching has been a strength for the Lobos.  But Nac has baseball pedigree. 

Huge games in Marshall and Nac tomorrow Vs. Whitehouse and Longview respectively.  

-----

Random thoughts softball:

Sulphur Springs Ladycats is headed to the third round.... nothing new for them.

Forney pushing Huntsville to the brink.

Hallsville completely dominated a very good Red Oak team.  They are looking to close out the series tomorrow.

It should not surprise folks, didn't shock me.  Any 1st round playoff success around here of late has been rare. Why should anything else be expected now.

That's not solely a Lufkin problem.

Historically for the last 5-10 seasons (or longer).... East Texas 5A has struggled in the playoffs in most sports.  Particularly winter and spring sports.

There have been a few blips... Longview soccer this season.... SS and MP basketball. the last few seasons.... Hallsville baseball..... but overall.... it's been pretty ugly in basketball, soccer, softball, baseball for East Texas 5A.

------
Meanwhile....I'm headed to Marshall.  Hopefully to see my Mavs upset WH in the first round.

Middle of the 5th.  Marshall still leading 1-0.

Dodged a bullet in the top of the inning.  WH had a runner on third with only 1 out.... Mavs hold on.

6 outs away.
