muddog1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Rusk has a hard throwing freshman pitcher named Callie Collins. She's also a good kid and works hard to get better at the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremeHubbard Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yeah it should be interesting to see how she is used this year.... You from Rusk muddog1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpitch_fan Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Originally posted by Bclove05Umm Sabine will have Barber and Im sure Sandy James will pitch some too. Do you really think that James will have to pitch this year. Do they have anyone else coming up? How is Barber's knee and is she stronger than last year? Hope everything works out for Sabine. Is James and Barber Sr's? I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRocky99 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 James HAVE to pitch? Not sure what that means. In my mind, she is a very good pitcher. Could probably be a better one if she concentrated on it. I think she is a jr and Barber a sr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpitch_fan Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I didn't mean anything bad...she is just a great catcher and I know that there are a couple of college prospects that are interested in her as a catcher and was just wondering. I thought that she might be a senior because of the college interest. Sorry if it were taken wrong. From what I've seen she has a great attitude and seems she would do anything to help the team as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRocky99 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Gotcha and I agree with that for sure! No apology needed at all as I just wasn't certain what you meant. I do think it is always wise to have at least 2 pitchers as you can never be certain what will happen during the course of a season. Plus, as I said, I really think she is a capable pitcher for sure (as evidenced in her freshman season and even last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBAGGIE85 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 With the way recruiting is going, top players or "blue chip" players are usually verbally committed by the end of their Junior year of high school. Many committ in the Fall of their junior year. Scary - HUH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbfan2 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 MBAGGIE85, you are absolutely right. I know for a fact that it is very stressfull for these kids. Lots of things to think about. I know that my daughter is making sure she weighs it all out but it is such a hard decission and there is quite a bit of pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballfan29 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I agree. Daughter is trying to decide if she wants music, academic, and/or athletic scholarships. She is only 16!!! Â It is a very difficult decision and requires alot of thought. Â Athletic scholarships are great but what if player gets hurt and/or very ill? Bye Bye scholarship. Â Daughter has had offers from several schools but we are waiting and praying. Â I think we may go with academic and music money and play softball without athletic money. If she decides she no longer wants to play and/or get hurts it will not kill her college dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbfan2 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 You're right...my daughter is really wanting academic money and play softball. I think the athletes that I have been around the past couple of years have been extremely blessed. Their grades and scores are opening more opprotunities for them. One of the girls from our team signed with Yale and had made a perfect score on her SAT. The one thing I am pleased with on our travel team is the coaches taking such a great interest in the girls academic acheivments and stressing the importance of applying themselves in school as well as on the field.

baseballfan29 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Funny you mentioned the travel team. Â The player profiles for my daughters team average 3.9 gpa. Â Students are offered more money for academics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gqdude Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Libby Van Cleave of Athens will be a strong pitcher in 14-3A. In 4A last season was 16-8. Had an ERA of .94. Did not have much hitting support. Being recruited by many schools. Just has to make up her mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanker Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Essary at Paris will be a force for the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Kelsey Harrington - Texas High. I think she has been pitching for 10 years. but this will be her last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpfanatic Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 :lurk:Another pitcher to watch in the next few years is Cassidi Henderson from Edgewood, she is just a sophomore and had a great freshman year last year! She will definitely turn some heads in 2A. She will be one they will talk about for a few years to come!!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamethrowers Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Jenny Winthrop- Hunnington Callie Collins- Rusk (Sierra Smith injured) Brooke Martin- Lindale Cassidi Henderson- Edgewood Trish Crocker- Van Kayla Williams- Spring Hill Kylee Miller- Chapel Hill Erika Harding- Kaylee Davis- Carthage Morgan Bond- Lindale (Broken Hand) Emily Costlow , Cagan Medlock- Whitehouse These are some of the young ladies I know who will be pitching this year. Some are freshmen and some will be seniors. Most of the girls listed are in the 60 plus range and all of them play on select softball teams. It will be interesting to see how the freshmen do at the high school level. I know their are lots of other talented pitchers around East Texas and when the season starts we will be hearing from them.

With this being Van Cleave's 4th year as starting pitcher for the Hornets, the experience she will bring to the mound will be a force to be reckoned with. There is also depth in their lineup, and some power as well. I believe that Athens will surprise many this year and give Van a run for their money.
