I can't remember the last time East Texas had that many representatives at the state baseball tournament. That's incredible. I wish I could be there to just watch.

 

Last time I was in Austin for the state baseball tournament I saw Kyle Drabek play (The Woodlands). He was fascinating.

I picked Texas High, deeper pitching than the Texas Rangers... lol but deep for HS baseball for sure! Light them bats up come game day TH :thumbsup:

 

 

I picked Carthage on tradition but would like to see T-hi and PG win the thing. T-hi will have to beat the #1 team in the nation, CC Moody to win it all!!!!!!!!!! Dont know how they pick this but this was on a web site that I was checking on.

If memory serves me, the last time Texas High made it to Austin they beat No. 1 draft pick Jimmy Jones in the regional finals in 16 innings. Jones pitched all 16 innings, throwing 260 pitches and striking out 28, but he lost. Two days later he pitched in relief and Texas High won on a home run by Dr. Greg Richter (he wasn't a doctor then obviously). A lot of folks figured Texas High would win state, but they lost in the semifinals to a Houston junior named Greg Swindelll. That Texas High team had some truly great players, but not a Josh Turley or Slade Heathcott. That's just my opinion.
