fiftysix Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 who are some key players to watch for from each team in this district and what are your predictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bclove05 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I wish I could give you a legit answer but with basketball still going on I really dont know how Sabine will be this year. I did watch a little bit of a scrimmage yesterday and they look bad. They were hitting well. I talked to the coach a couple weeks ago and he said when basketball is all over that he will have around 50 kids out there to choose from.

Buckeyebaseball21 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 1. Gilmer 2. Spring Hill 3. White Oak 4. Gladewater 5. Mineola 6. Sabine I still think Mineola could fight for the third spot in the playoffs. But going off of returners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtoe Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm not sure who all is going to join the team (Sabine) after basketball season... We have a couple of pretty good seniors returning in Preston Florence and Colton Harvick. We're going to be a bit thin on the mound. Lots of youth. Hopefully Coach Stagner can mold these young men into a good team. :coolball: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wistler40 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Baseball is in Mineola's blood so I would not count them out yet. Yes they lost some, but I think they will be in the hunt for either the 2nd or 3rd spot in district play. There is always talent coming up in Mineola, and with the weight program they have been on, alot of the boy's are a whole lot better this year. In my opinion. But we will see when basketball is finally over and we start playing some real games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we will see when basketball is finally over and we start playing some real games. When did a football weight program help kids be a better baseball player? Last time I checked you had to be able to field a ground ball and then throw it. When you are at the plate, you have to see the ball to put it in play which takes eye hand coordination not benching 300 lbs. By the way, who besides the Watkins kid can pitch? Last year they were loaded with pitching and this year??????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacredbomb Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Good lord Natureboy, you must not like working out. By the time a kid reaches the HS level, he probably has a general idea of how to hit, throw, and catch. Otherwise you will probably get cut. Getting stronger will only help make you throw and hit harder. Which is good to me, I don't know about you and your finesse tactics though.

etxbaseball26 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Gilmer Spring Hill White Oak Mineola Gladewater Sabine I agree that Mineola has tradition in the baseball program. Again I am just going by what is returning for both teams. Look for this to be a tough district race. Gilmer I think will still come out on top. The question remains to see if Spring Hill can pitch. White Oak I think will be able to pitch. Mineol and Gladewater a lot of holes to fill hitting and pitching. Sabine just has to see what happens. I guess we will see what is going on in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shxc19 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 With the addition of Garrett Methvin from Hallsville, Spring Hill should have some added pitching depth to go along with Brandon Arden and Jake Fudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snuffy Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I think White Oak is gonna be better than some think. They will have a nice pitcing rotation with Derek Bowen and Blake Ware and they were very young last yr and got alot of experience. Ware should emerge this yr as one of the best SS/P in the district. Soph Jackson McCurdy hit .407 as a freshman last yr and has the ability to go yard at any time. First yr head coach Derrick Jenkins will have them fired up to make a run.

OLDSCHOOL93 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 1.Gilmer 2.White Oak 3.Spring Hill 4.Gladewater 5.Mineola 6.Sabine Try Again Cats69..... 2 & 4 Ranked Too High, don't count out Sabine just yet... SH will battle with Gilmer for top spot, and I'm leaning towards SH to take title.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bear_Den Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 where's BearDen to give us the gwater scoop? are they going to be down this year? Here I am. Gladewater has so many young guys playing this year. They all love baseball and are very dedicated to the sport. I'm not sure as to how we will do this particular year, but the future looks promising for Bear baseball as they enter the new district next season.

knothead107 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Spring Hill Gilmer White Oak Sabine Mineola Gladewater Gilmer is good but i think Spring Hill will give them a run for the title....and in my opinion theres no telling who will end up with the number 3 spot this year. - Knothead :coolball: - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galloping_gobbler Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 While i hope that gladewater can pull it together and rise back to the top of the heap as district champions, i will be a little bit more realistic than some.
