She works hard on it all year and plays a lot of competitive travel ball away from school. She was the 14-3A Newcomer of the Year last year in volleyball, basketball and softball. She's every bit as much of athlete as her brother (Will) who has been highly recruited in football and baseball. He will attend Texas A & M next year on a baseball scholarship.

sprtsfan Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Talking about the Middlebrooks kid...she is very talented but from a spectators point of view she is very cocky and has a major attitude problem. My suggestion would be to get that under control and then she will be one of the best in east texas. Also, with a little bit more experience she will be very good.

txkmom Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Major attitude? Works like a dog, doesn't complain, plays fierce and expects it of her teammates, tries to smile when things are going tough or she doesn't like the call, and puts up with bodily threats from adult fans during games. I think she did great, not perfect, for a freshman and bashing her from a singular viewpoint for all to see is unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Hornet Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Mr. Sprtsfan, Â Do you know Lacey Middlebrooks, or did you just see her pitch a game or two? I know the girl. She's an honor roll student, a good girl and a 15-year-old leader that came within one out of leading her team to Austin. Do you know what a competitor is? If you don't believe you're the best, you can never be the best. I've seen her pitch several times. If she didn't get a call she wanted, she might have made a face, or mumbled something to herself. A lot of folks read your post on this board and some will likely go and say they heard the Middlebrooks girl has an attitude problem. You have no business doing this to a young girl who has never been a problem for anyone. She's a better person than you'll ever be if your post is an indication of how you think. I would say you owe her an apology, but it wouldn't help now. Please, next time think before blasting a 15-year-old athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRocky99 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I definitely agree with Leopard on Sprtsfan's post. I really have only seen one player over my many years of watching softball who I felt needed to be commented on about her attitude and even then I did not name names or even the team as I recall. Â I saw Middlebrooks pitch only one game and she won that game. I saw no indication of any attitude on her other than a positive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsball Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Originally posted by eyeluvsportsTricia Crocker-Van Whitney Landwermeyer-Canton Morgan Bond-Lindale  These girls are all Seniors. Any news of colleges looking at them or colleges they are interested in. A lot of 2007 players are already committed. Haven't heard a word about any of these pitchers.

watznext Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 sprtsfan - I think you're way off base on Middlebrooks and I've seen a whole lot more than just a few games she's pitched - she's a workhorse and did a great job handling some very intense pressure at such a young age  as I've stated before, anybody that didn't see that 15-inning head-to-head between her and Cara Hulme will never know what they missed - competition at its best  unfortunately, there will always be people who feel the need to smack these kids around - but I have every confidence that her career will more than speak for itself over the next several years - LE is lucky to have her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. There are a lot of tough, sharp pitchers out there these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprtsfan Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Let me clarify something...I am not "bashing" her. I truly believe she is one of the best pitchers in the area but I know for a fact some of the looks and huffs and puffs that she has given to the wrong call or even some other players was disrespectful. Yes, it might have been in the moment of an emotional game but, call me old fashioned, I think that is disrespectful. I was only saying that so when it is time to be recruited to make sure that she just makes sure she is watching her attitude or behavoir. She is not the only pitcher I have seen do this but her name was mentioned and really think she has enormous potential. I am truly sorry if I hurt any feelings.:notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Hornet Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You didn't hurt anyone's feelings. You made yourself look bad. It's wrong to be critical on a board like this about a 15-year-old girl and call her by name. And I repeat you don't know this girl so you should shut up.
