Could not believe that when I saw it, but I found the exact same thing on the Beckville ISD site. Baseball Playoffs - Regional Finals vs Maud June 2nd @ West Monroe High School - West Monroe, LAGame 1 Thursday, June 2nd @ 7:30 Saturday location/time will be announced at a later time.

Lufkin vs. Whitehouse Mike Carter Thursday 7:30 Friday Noon....if to follow if necessary.

Gary has turf. As long as the rain holds out during the games...Friday night actually looks better than Thursday night for weather.

He is a great guy. Lindale would hate to lose him, but it would be a good get for Bullard.

The wife of the basketball coach is the one that just got hired in Bullard, but as far as I know coach Albritton is still at Lindale.

Not the same guy. Not even sure where these umpires were from. It was not people from the Tyler Chapter. Must have gone to the UIL or used a neutral umpire crew.

I think they are having class today. Probably some STARR testing this week. Getting ready for summer.

I bet will be an exception. I cannot see the UIL going this route due to not every school being able to do it.

Here you go.

same here. I sent a note to their Facebook page requesting it. If they get back to me I will post it here. New coach this season so I am sure some of the dugout club stuff is a little bit different.

I think it will be a good thing for all the teams. With all of the use each season the field was always in rough shape by the end of the season. The people did a good job working on it, but it was just hard with weather, two high school teams, and one JUCO team using it. I hope it brings more playoff action to Tyler and provides opportunities for other games as well. It will be interesting to see how the increased fee will play into the select tournaments. I know that schools will pay it in the playoffs, but the tournament promoters might not want to hurt their own bottom line. I am excited about the next season in the life of Mike Carter Field.

Arp v. New Diana is moving to Thursday as well.

Looks like Westwood @ Eustace will be at 6pm on Thursday Kemp @ Elkhart will be at 7pm on Thursday

Jacksonville Bullard moved to Bullard tonight at 630

The second week of scrimmages are Thurs/Fri. The first week it is Fri/Sat

Football may be king in Texas, but it is not the "king" sport in everyones life. Evidently he cares...and I am sure the Lindale baseball fans care.

Yes same one. I heard he is the new Coach at Big Sandy.

They use a different ball at the State Tournament than what they used all season? I find that hard to believe. What ball did they use?

It will be warmer, but if you have seen the condition of the playing surface near the end of the high school and college season the past couple of seasons you might better understand why they felt this was needed. Last season much of the grass in foul territory around the infield and the area between the mound and the plate was rough looking. This season the combination of the rain and leaving the tarp on to allow the field to be playable meant burning the infield grass. It was one of the few dry fields in the area, but it was pretty sad looking. The combination of REL, JT, and TJC using the facility means it gets a lot of traffic. I could even see Texas College using it some until they figure out where their home field will be. Lets hope they give it a good look so the turf has the look of an old time baseball park and not just lots of green with brown patches around the bases. Turf has come a long way in recent years. This might also help them lure the D-III Juco World Series back. We shall see, but I think it will be a change for the better. Redoing the dugouts last year was a great touch as well.

It was approved at the board workshop today. Have to get bids and approve the final numbers, but it sounds like it should be turfed in time for next baseball season.

Interesting item on the agenda for the TISD board workshop today. http://tylerisd.org/modules/groups/homepagefiles/cms/1698606/File/District%20Site/Board/Agendas/2015/2015-06-08%20Board%20Workshop.pdf See page 6. Installing an artificial surface at Mike Carter. From what I hear it would be turf on the entire field. Would be the only one in East Texas. Sunnyvalle and Lindale both have turf infields. Gary also opened up a new turf field this year. Would attract lots of playoff games, especially in years like this year with all the rain.
