Argyle Eagles Baseball Undefeated 12-0

[regaleagle]

Yep......those Argyle Eagles have a terrific baseball team this season for sure. Guess what??? They haven't played a single team below Class 5A yet and have won every single game. I looked at their schedule......and their remaining schedule before the playoffs. Now I usually don't brag about anything Argyle......but going undefeated in baseball playing a tough front-loaded schedule like this year's Eagles team did.......well I'm very impressed to say the least. Now about the rest of their schedule.......it gets much easier!!! They will be playing a few 5A schools and then all the rest will be 4A for the rest of the season. It's very possible that this team could end up undefeated going into the playoffs this season.......that's very tough to do in baseball.......especially playing as many games and the schedule the Eagles play!!! Looks like they have at least 15 games left on the schedule before the playoffs......10 district games. Not sure if they will pick up a few games during Spring Break or not.....if they do, it's not on the schedule. Lots of teams up here in the Metroplex in 5A & 6A will schedule Argyle because they are a highly competitive team. They usually are scheduled in 3 predistrict 5A tournaments......not sure what the rules are regarding how many of these tournaments a team can play. Regardless......they ain't lost a game to any team they've played this season......and have won most of them convincingly. I wonder if there has ever been a team......maybe a Pleasant Grove......go totally undefeated all season in 4A/old 3A baseball??? I know in baseball it's a tough thing to do......can someone check on this??? What's the best baseball record EVER for the season for Class 4A/Old 3A??? I ask because I seriously believe this season's Argyle Eagles have a better than legitimate chance to make it all the way undefeated.....or even with just one loss.

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

Sweeny Bulldogs are 15-0.....

[regaleagle]

Didn't those Abilene Wyliedawgs just have an almost undefeated season a couple of years ago when they won back to back titles???

[regaleagle]

Sweeny Bulldogs are 15-0.....

Yeah.....Sweeny is most definitely a baseball power with a history for sure. Who's gonna be a tough out for them in district play or the playoffs???

[regaleagle]

Look at this......

2016 Abilene Wylie State Champions.....33-3
2017 Abilene Wylie State Champions.....36-1

That run was 69-4 for just those two back to back seasons......what a couple of years, Huh? That's impressive!!

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Lorena went undefteated beat Sinton in state championship game in extra innings and kept Sinton from winning back to back state titles. Not sure if Sinton pitched Adrian Alaniz that game or in the semi finals but it was Adrain Alaniz senior year.

[regaleagle]

I did a little investigative research on 4A baseball so far this season. Looks like Sweeny and Argyle are on the whack attack with Godley, Canton, Salado, Robinson, Bridge City, and Pleasant Grove all as viable contenders. Can't leave out Iowa Park, Bushland, and Abilene Wylie......all of these teams appear to be very good. Of course, this is baseball and anything can happen in the playoffs......but these teams all look to be playoff material to me. I'm sure I left out some other formidable teams like Boerne, Fredericksburg, and a few others......I'd say that's a pretty good list right there.

[poisoned10]

Don’t want to feed the ego but MaxPreps has them ranked in their top 25 as well.

Kudos for the 12-0 start, best wishes the rest of the way unless y'all run into the Rockets.

If the Eagles run into the Rockets......that will be a good thing for both teams because that will only happen at the State Tournament. Good Luck to the Rockets the rest of the way and perhaps both teams will meet sometime later this season.........a very good possibility.

[orange machine]

Actually Argyle has played at least 1 4a team Melissa.

[Rocket Man]

Actually Argyle has played at least 1 4a team Melissa.

I looked ‘em up, they have played & beaten four 4A teams; Crandall, Melissa, Kaufman and Ft. Worth Benbrook. All the other schools are either 5A or 6A.

[orange machine]

They are legit for sure

[regaleagle]

Now 13-0 with 10 shutouts for the season. 10-run ruled the last 4 teams.

[regaleagle]

Sweeny finally lost one.....is now 16-1 on the season. Look out for Iowa Park......they have only one loss and have a really good group of returners. I think Abilene Wylie is good again....they just have a good program and are one of the largest schools in 4A.....they are good at all the UIL events. Will be moving up to 5A next season and be good in 5A as well.

[regaleagle]

Godley is still undefeated at 11-0 and gave Iowa Park their only loss of the season with a 10-0 win.

[regaleagle]

In their latest win Friday over Fort Worth Trimble Tech......the Argyle Eagles hammered 6 home runs, one a grand slam, and scored 14 runs while giving up 3 hits in the shutout. Argyle will play 5A Denton Braswell at 2pm on Saturday.

[regaleagle]

I'm interested to see if Little Cypress Mauriceville(LCM) is really as good as their 18-3 record shows. Bridge City(11-6-1) is a perennial power in baseball and is in the same district. If LCM can beat Bridge City twice or split with them in district......then LCM is the real deal this season. It all depends on scheduling.....on who a team plays. Bridge City typically plays a tough predistrict schedule against larger classifications that are good teams.

[regaleagle]

Argyle had a tough time of it against a good Denton Braswell, but won it 4-3 to go 14-0. Sometimes a team plays a little tight when they are trying to maintain an undefeated season......and baseball can be difficult if you don't play loose and natural. It was 2-2 thru 5 innings, but the Eagles scored one in the 6th and one in the 7th. Braswell was only able to get one run across in the bottom of the 7th. This was the closest game for the Eagles all year. Maybe a little rest will do them some good. They play Fort Worth Southwest on Tuesday and then Crandall on Saturday next week. It just keeps going.....two games every week in baseball.....there ain't no rest. The stress builds......it's very difficult to not lose a game along the way......especially if your schedule is full like Argyle's is. Then you need the pitching to do its job in all of these games and hope your bats don't quit. Errors could lose games......just one error. Or one base on balls. Or giving up one hit at the wrong time. Good Luck to the Eagles from here on out.....they'll need some luck to remain undefeated.

[regaleagle]

To get the latest updates of your team and district standings of all districts, team records, etc......go to THSBCA.com and click on 4A. Then you can check each district and each team within that district, view the district standings, season records, scores of each game, and the schedule of each team and who they played, the date played and the score of that game.

[regaleagle]

Argyle wins against FW Southwest 10-0 in a run rule game......they go to 15-0 and have one game remaining on Saturday with Crandall before beginning district play. They will play each team in district 2 times......a total of 10 games......and then the playoffs begin. Sweeny is 17-1, Godley 12-0, Iowa Park 13-1, Abilene Wylie 11-2, Canton 15-2, Salado 11-2, Jasper 15-4, LCM 19-3, Wimberley 12-2, Boerne 13-2, Bushland 16-4, and Robstown 10-3. These teams and probably some I left out I consider to be very formidible within their respective districts and also in the playoffs to come. I left out some like Pleasant Grove and Robinson that will most probably win their district again and be a very good playoff team, but it's still early and these teams have a good season record so far. Most appear to be the favorite to win their district also.

[regaleagle]

Here's my Top 5 in 4A this season so far.....according to their records and who they have played.....and their average margin of victory(runs scored).
Argyle (15-0)
Sweeny (17-1)
Godley (12-0)
Iowa Park (13-1)
Salado (11-2) and Boerne (13-2)

Look out for Jasper (15-4)......they have some very quality wins and their losses are against larger classifications with good teams. I believe Argyle and Sweeny are interchangeable at this point.

Salado III 11-2-2 3.80 56.25% 2-6A; 9-4A; 3-3A; 1-TAPPS D2

Just to see how my Rockets compare:

CRAP, it doesn't post as I formatted it. I'll try later to clean it up or re-post it cleaned up.

[Tejastrue]

Didn't Argyle start off almost the same last year?

Texans are off to a great start at 12-2-1. Cuero looks to be pretty good at 12-4.

Yeah.....Argyle got knocked off by their perennial Region II foe Pleasant Grove. Had a great record, but this year's team is older and more mature. Seems like it's either Argyle or Pleasant Grove that wins Region II......but PG more often than Argyle. Longview Spring Hill is usually competitive and has won it several times also.

[regaleagle]

Here's an update of who's still winning and not lost a game in district play.......everybody is in the middle of district play now. All of the following teams are undefeated in district play and have played a very competitive schedule with quality losses:

Argyle(19-0); Sweeny(19-1); Godley(15-0); Iowa Park(16-1); Boerne(17-2); Canton(18-2); Abilene Wylie(14-2); Salado(14-2); Wimberley(14-2); Princeton(14-2); Robinson(14-3); Pleasant Grove(13-3); Bushland(18-4); Midlothian Heritage(13-3); Kilgore(11-3); Center(12-4); Orangefield(15-2); Fredericksburg(15-4); Lytle(17-3); Cuero(15-4); Robstown(13-4).

Wow.......look at Orangefield and Lytle's records.......pretty damn impressive!! Midlothian Heritage is in Godley's district and they haven't played each other yet. Same with Boerne and Fredericksburg.

[regaleagle]

I'm interested to see if Little Cypress Mauriceville(LCM) is really as good as their 18-3 record shows. Bridge City(11-6-1) is a perennial power in baseball and is in the same district. If LCM can beat Bridge City twice or split with them in district......then LCM is the real deal this season. It all depends on scheduling.....on who a team plays. Bridge City typically plays a tough predistrict schedule against larger classifications that are good teams.

Guess what??? LCM(21-4) did defeat Bridge City(14-7) in the first game 5-0 on 3/27/18.....but dropped the 2nd game 5-4 on 3/30/18. So it looks like they at least got the split and must be the real deal this season. Jasper(17-5) was going along very impressively, but lost to Lufkin(7-8) by a score of 3-2 this week. Jasper will still be a tough out in the playoff mix IMHO.

[regaleagle]

A couple of teams that were undefeated in district play lost this week, but should still be very formidable in the playoffs. Godley(16-1) lost its first game of the season 6-4 to district power Midlothian Heritage(15-3). Wimberley(14-3) lost 4-3 to Navarro(12-8) in a close one. LCM(23-4) defeated Orangefield(15-4 now) twice by a score of 5-0 in both games. Princeton(14-3) lost to Anna(15-5) by a score of 3-0. Boerne(19-2) knocked off district rival Fredericksburg(16-5) 4-0 in a game between two top-ranked teams in 4A. Here''s a look at the records of some of the best teams in 4A that are still undefeated in district play. Of course.....in baseball even very good teams can lose a game to a lesser district foe and still do very well in the playoffs.....maybe even win the region or the whole enchilada.

Argyle 21-0
Sweeny 21-1
Iowa Park 18-1
Canton 20-2
Boerne 19-2
Abilene Wylie 16-2
Salado 16-2
Midlothian Heritage 15-3
Robinson 14-3
Pleasant Grove 14-3
Bushland 19-4
Robstown 15-4
Cuero 16-5

Some of the teams that have dropped a district game already may not lose another one and may even be a ranked team not shown here......but these are the teams that have not yet lost a game in district play and considered to be a very competitive playoff team in 4A this season.

[regaleagle]

There were some teams that suffered their first loss in district play tonight......
Midlothian Heritage(15-4/7-1) lost 8-3 to Stephenville(10-11-2/4-4)
Navasota(14-5/6-1) was defeated 1-0 by La Grange(12-10/5-4)
Sweeny(21-2/5-1) lost 6-1 to Bay City(8-11/2-4)
Boerne(19-3/7-1) lost 8-4 to Fredericksburg(17-5/7-1)......last week Fredericksburg lost to Boerne 4-0.

[regaleagle]

Argyle remains undefeated (22-0). Godley has one loss (16-1), and so does Iowa Park(19-1), and don't ever count out Abilene Wylie(16-2).....all in Region I along with a very good Bushland(20-4). Canton(20-2), Texarkana Pleasant Grove(16-3), Princeton(15-3), and Kilgore(14-3) all look to be very good in Region II against an undefeated Argyle. The Center Roughriders(15-4) out of District 16 in Region II are still undefeated in district play(8-0) and cannot be overlooked. In Region III the favorites seem to be Robinson(15-3/8-0) and Salado(17-2/8-0), but looks like there are plenty others that will contend for the region title. Madisonville(17-7/6-0), Taylor(20-5/7-1), Navasota(14-5/6-1), Jasper(20-5/3-1), Little Cypress-Mauriceville(23-4/5-1) along with Bridge City(16-7/5-1) in the same District 22 will all be tough to beat. In Region IV, Sweeny(21-2/5-1) is considered the favorite. Boerne(19-3/7-1) and Fredericksburg(17-5/7-1) out of District 28 are both highly ranked teams though. So is Wimberley(15-3/3-1) and Robstown(17-4/10-0). Look out for Cuero(16-5/4-0).....and Sinton(12-6/7-3) should NEVER be counted out. Zapata(13-5/9-0) is handily winning District 32 and should also be considered as a threat.
There are some other very good teams not mentioned here that could cause some problems for some of these teams in the playoffs.......baseball playoffs can be quirky. There can be a one-game/winner advances scenario instead of the regular 3-gamer tilt. Put your best pitcher against a team with a better record in a one-gamer and see what happens. Usually a coin flip is made and the winner chooses either a one-gamer or best of 3 playoff scenario. Stay tuned as we near the end of district play and the first round of the playoffs......there will be lots of "upsets" in the early rounds.

[regaleagle]

When the cream rises to the top as the playoffs get underway.......some of those top teams can be eliminated before the regional final. This happens almost every year in at least one of the regions, so you can never tell which team will win the regional final and advance to State. Sometimes the top-rated team in the entire classification will not make it to State. Having at least two quality pitchers, but usually three.....along with good hitting......seems to be the recipe for success in the playoffs. But because of the one-gamer scenario this is not always true. A really good pitcher could send a team deeper into the playoffs......until they eventually lose to a better, more balanced team as they get deeper into the playoff scenario. Looks like there is no predominant favorite in any of these regions this season.....except for maybe Argyle out of Region II. But I wouldn't bet on it.

[regaleagle]

So what does all of this mean??? It means there are plenty of teams in 4A that have a chance to win the whole enchilada.....regardless of their won/loss record. Any team could get "hot" or "cold" in the playoffs......or get some good breaks or bad breaks when their season is on the line. Sometimes good hitting overcomes even the best pitching, and sometimes it's just a timely hit in a very close game that can make the difference. Or an untimely error. Lots of ways to win and lots of ways to lose.......time to be perfect.

Last year’s Gilmer team is a good example of this.

They had to beat Gladewater in a play-in game to even make the playoffs as the 4th seed. They went on to beat D16 champion, Carthage in a 3-game series in the first round. Then beat Paris (3rd D14) 1-0 in the 2nd round. Rain kept that from being a 3-game series. They then knocked off their own district champion Kilgore in a 3-game series in round 3 before falling to Decatur, 2-0 in a 1-game series.

You never know what can happen in baseball.

Argyle defeated Sanger 15-6 on Friday to go (23-0/6-0) for the season. THSBCA.com has not entered all the results from Friday and Saturday yet. Argyle was scheduled to play a nondistrict game with Celina on Saturday at noon, but I cannot find the results to that game anywhere. It was extremely windy in the area on Saturday.

[regaleagle]

We will see what will happen in district play this week. By this time next week, some of the districts will be completed with district play. In this week's Top 25 in 4A according to THSBCA.com......looks like they have 6 teams from Region I, 5 teams from Region II, 8 teams from Region III, and 6 teams out of Region IV rated. Of course these rankings are just somebody's opinion......just like I have my own opinion on which teams should be ranked what. Don't tell anybody, but they have 4 teams in Region I ranked in the Top 10. Not sure I agree with this, but it really doesn't matter since each region will be eliminating it's own teams to crown a regional champion. As the saying goes......"There can be only one". One out of every region and one to win it all.

[poisoned10]

Lake Travis(25-0) still remains in the #1 slot, and Argyle(23-0) moves up to the #5 slot this week.......this is a national rank. Of course, Argyle has been ranked #1 in Class 4A for the better part of the season.

[regaleagle]

I've got a fun idea......let's play a game called "Pick the Winners". You will be picking a winner for each region even and especially before the eliminating starts in the playoffs. Then you will also pick a team of your winners to win the State Championship. The picks should begin even before district play is completed so as to give every team in Class 4A consideration. Since we know there will be many teams that are in the playoffs and many surprises that can and will happen.......there could be a team that wins it all that absolutely none of us has picked......especially in a year like this where so many teams seem to be having very good seasons. I'll start the game and be the first to pick. Here's my picks listed below:

Region I Winner: Godley
Region II Winner: Argyle
Region III Winner: Salado
Region IV Winner: Boerne

State Champion: Argyle

[regaleagle]

For those of you that are not aware.......go to THSBCA.com for a complete list of all the teams in each district by clicking on to 4A. There you will find each team in every district listed by district, their won/loss records for the season and in district play. There are 8 districts in each region.....Region I comprises districts 1-8, Region II districts 9-16 and so forth. Obviously, you can easily eliminate many of the teams not having a good season simply by using this site's information. In a year like this, a "darkhorse" winner could easily emerge and become the State Champion.

BTW.......the top 4 teams in each district will qualify for the playoffs.

[Crow22]

1- Godley
2- Argyle
3- Robinson
4- Sweeny

If you read the entire thread you will see Abilene Wylie mentioned many times. I just think they had better and more mature players last season and the season before last.......how many times in a row can they keep winning it???

[Crow22]

I didn’t mention them simply because they HAVE won it back to back. Surely, at some point, they won’t win the State Championship. Lol. I’m betting the odds here.

[regaleagle]

Because of the nature of the game and so many variables in play.......It's probably more difficult in baseball to repeat than it is in football. Plus, the number of games played is double the amount of that in football for those that make it to State. I say this, but then we see Abilene Wylie repeat as SC in baseball. Carthage in 4A has repeated in football, and Argyle has come very close. Other classifications in football have teams that have repeated many times over the years.......but it seems like in baseball it's difficult to see any team in any classification dominate and repeat as the SC......certainly not as often as in football.

So Brenham has done it in the old 4a before 3 straight. Going unbeaten is just as hard only 3 teams in UIL history have gone unbeaten from report i saw on 2016 latest was 2003 Lorena finish 31-0 beating Sinton in championship game in extra innings(9 innings). Sinton was going for its 2nd time to win back to back state titles.

So unbeaten and winning back to back to back are rare.

One of the most exciting games of my life was our semifinal game with Weimar in 2002. A crazy rally in the bottom of the 7th that never should have been probably kept Weimar from winning four straight state titles. The first baseman lost a routine pop fly in foul territory in the sun with two outs. The ball fell to the ground, we all took a deep sigh of relief, and a couple of pitches later, we walked 'em off with a little seeing-eye single to RF. What a game.

Going unbeaten is just as hard only 3 teams in UIL history have gone unbeaten from report i saw on 2016 latest was 2003 Lorena finish 31-0 beating Sinton in championship game in extra innings(9 innings). Sinton was going for its 2nd time to win back to back state titles.


That Lorena team in 2003 was unreal. Homer Bailey was on that team and he was literally untouchable. He was touching triple digits and turning all kinds of heads in the state tournament.

[slingshot]

If you read the entire thread you will see Abilene Wylie mentioned many times. I just think they had better and more mature players last season and the season before last.......how many times in a row can they keep winning it???

I was just messin' with you guys. We're not as stout as last year, lot's of new faces, graduated a lot of studs, lost our top pitcher who was nearly unhittable to a football injury. Still have a fantastic winning tradition and a great coaching staff headed by Coach Martin. Could still be a VERY tough out come playoff time...

What? Didn’t Homer Bailey play for Lagrange?

HA! You're right! In my mind, I read LaGrange, not Lorena. My bad. LaGrange won it the next year.


Everyone get back to work.

Anybody else gonna make some "Pick the Winners" predictions for this baseball season......or is it gonna be just Crow22 and Me??? How about you, SintonFan? And what about you Slingshot. Where's Rocket Man Robinson Crusoe's picks, LOL. I know d0tc0m must have his opinion. And all the others that rarely post but read this thread and follow the action thru the season. And where's Scoop??? He's always following those Region IV districts......I know he has an opinion on those teams at least.

I would like to see Sinton get a rematch with Argyle, Robinson or Salado.. those are teams that have ended Sinton season last 3 years. But offensively haven't gotten on track despite 8 returning starters.

Since I've been called out................

1 Bushland
2 Argyle
3 Robinson
4 Boerne

Robinson Rockets get their first state championship!

Looks to me like Regions 3 & 4 are gonna be a slugfests

[regaleagle]

I didn't realize it until now......and nobody corrected me. The website should be txhighschoolbaseball.com........not THSBCA.com.

[regaleagle]

Listen to this one.......A Tenn. high school player hits a double, 2 grand slams, and a 3-run homer with 4 swings of the bat. This guy is only 5-9/155 lbs. and had hit only 1 homer all season.....a few in batting practice. He says he's not a power hitter. The first swing the ball hit high off the LF fence for a one run double. His 2nd at bat he hit the first pitch over the LF fence for a grand salami. On his 3rd at bat with a lefty pitching now, he hit the first pitch over the LF fence for another grand slam. On his 4th at bat.....with another RH pitcher......he hit the first pitch he swung at over the LF fence for a 3-run homer. But the craziest thing is the pitch before was a passed ball and the runner from 3rd scored!!! This guy had 11 RBI's on 4 hits......and came to the plate with the bases loaded 3 times. His first at bat 2 runners were on base. He went 4 for 4 for the game and his 11 RBI accounted for the difference in the final score 17-6.

[regaleagle]

Does he get credit for an RBI on that passed ball run-scored??? I guess not......otherwise he would have had 12 RBI's and 3 grand slams. :vrycnfsd:

4 swings of the bat all night......crazy!!!

[regaleagle]

Well it looks like most of the districts in Class 4A either clinched or completed district play now. Argyle (25-0/8-0) still has 2 more district games to play, but clinched with Friday's 11-1 win over Krum.

Please list your district winner and record so far, or if the district champ has still not be determined.

[Tejastrue]

Wimberley Texans (18-3-1) are tied at the top of 27-4A with the Navarro Panthers (14-10-1). Both at 5-1 with two games remaining. The La Vernia Bears (17-6) are just a half game back at 5-2. Not surprising that the Texans final two district games are against both of these squads. It's the old cliche..."they control their own destiny".

[regaleagle]

To be clear.......the weekly rankings on Txhighschoolbaseball.com come from THSBCA.com........but the site is Txhighschoolbaseball.com. It was my mistake......but now it's corrected. The site is a really cool site and even has a Twitter site attached to it you can read each week.

Texans (19-3-1, 6-1) shut out Navarro tonight 3-0. Nice win boys.

Unless I’m misunderstanding you, I don’t think so, the top ten on THSBCA is different from TXHSBASEBALL.

http://txhighschoolbaseball.com/4a/4a-top-25-apr-23/yes two different polls but TXHSBaseball post THSBCA poll also in its site.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

My picks going into the playoffs
1- Godley
2- Argyle
3- Robinson
4- Robstown




Hoping anything can happen once the playoffs start and get a surprise team in there :)

[Rocket Man]

yes two different polls but TXHSBaseball post THSBCA poll also in its site.

I don’t mean to be stubborn, but I couldn’t find any reference to THSBCA on the TXHSBASEBALL. Not a biggie, but I wouldn’t want the good folks mislead by you two charlatans......just joking.....later man. Maybe if both our teams make the State Tourny we’ll have a chance for a meet/greet.

[Tejastrue]

Texans (19-3-1, 6-1) shut out Navarro tonight 3-0. Nice win boys.

Texans (20-3-1) take care of business tonight shutting out La Vernia (18-7) 6-0 and take the District 27-4A title. Awesome job guys!
Now this is enough Wimberley posting on an Argyle Eagle thread! lol

[regaleagle]

It's really a Class 4A baseball thread that includes the Top 25 teams and even some others. I guess I should have used a different heading to start the thread......but that's all hindsight now. There have been quite a few viewers on this thread so that means there is a decent group interested and following the weekly results. It's better to have a thread like this on baseball that covers all 4 regions than one guy covering just a couple of districts in Region IV only. And I'm not denigrating that poster......he does a fine, fine job posting the scores.....especially since no one else does. It's the old saying.....somebody's gotta do it.....so I guess I volunteered this season. And from the looks of all the teams in 4A this season with impressive won/loss records.....I'd say these playoffs will be worth watching every week.

[regaleagle]

Okay......the regular season is now over and the playoffs begin this week. Go to txhighschoolbaseball.com and click on 4A to see the final Top 25 and their records. Good luck to all of the teams that made the playoffs. The 4A Bi-District Playoff pairings are listed by Region with dates and times the teams will play.

Are you sure that's the right site?

:stirpot:


And is it my imagination, or are there a lot more teams with 3-or-fewer losses than there normally are?

[rb585]

And then there's this:

F27 Gonzales (2-14-1) Vs. W28 Fredericksburg (22-5)
Game 1: Wednesday, May 2 at 7 p.m. in Fredericksburg

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Sinton goes in unranked after a not so good offensive season so far and some defensive woes. Pitching is there and returning players from last season region 4 champs. They waited all season to get back to the start of post season wait and see if they can flip the switch and get rolling like last season during the playoffs.

Robstown, Fredericksburg, Sweeny, Boerne, Wimberley, Navarro, Sealy, Cuero, Bellville and Zapata all look to have the team to make a run from region IV.

[regaleagle]

:stirpot:


And is it my imagination, or are there a lot more teams with 3-or-fewer losses than there normally are?

Nope......lots of teams out there in 4A this season with excellent season records.....alot more than most seasons. It will be a battle to become a regional champ this season in EVERY region......even for Argyle in Region 2. Pleasant Grove beat them last season when Argyle was (27-1) and knocked them out. Of course, last season PG went (34-3) and lost to SC Wylie in the semi-final. It could happen again......lots of very good teams could get knocked off at any time this season very easily.

[Rocket Man]

I put together a Region by Region list of ranked teams using only the team ranking number, not the team names. Judge for yourself which Regions look to be the most competitive:

REGION I - 3, 6, 8, 10, 14, 22

REGION II - 1, 12, 16, 19, 20, 25

REGION III - 2, 9, 11, 15, 18, 21, 23, 24

REGION IV - 4, 5, 7, 13, 17

Looking at the UIL brackets, the lower bracket in Region I has 4 ranked teams and the lower bracket in Region III has 5 ranked teams.

[j_dog]

Argyle remains undefeated (22-0). Godley has one loss (16-1), and so does Iowa Park(19-1), and don't ever count out Abilene Wylie(16-2).....all in Region I along with a very good Bushland(20-4). Canton(20-2), Texarkana Pleasant Grove(16-3), Princeton(15-3), and Kilgore(14-3) all look to be very good in Region II against an undefeated Argyle. The Center Roughriders(15-4) out of District 16 in Region II are still undefeated in district play(8-0) and cannot be overlooked. In Region III the favorites seem to be Robinson(15-3/8-0) and Salado(17-2/8-0), but looks like there are plenty others that will contend for the region title. Madisonville(17-7/6-0), Taylor(20-5/7-1), Navasota(14-5/6-1), Jasper(20-5/3-1), Little Cypress-Mauriceville(23-4/5-1) along with Bridge City(16-7/5-1) in the same District 22 will all be tough to beat. In Region IV, Sweeny(21-2/5-1) is considered the favorite. Boerne(19-3/7-1) and Fredericksburg(17-5/7-1) out of District 28 are both highly ranked teams though. So is Wimberley(15-3/3-1) and Robstown(17-4/10-0). Look out for Cuero(16-5/4-0).....and Sinton(12-6/7-3) should NEVER be counted out. Zapata(13-5/9-0) is handily winning District 32 and should also be considered as a threat.
There are some other very good teams not mentioned here that could cause some problems for some of these teams in the playoffs.......baseball playoffs can be quirky. There can be a one-game/winner advances scenario instead of the regular 3-gamer tilt. Put your best pitcher against a team with a better record in a one-gamer and see what happens. Usually a coin flip is made and the winner chooses either a one-gamer or best of 3 playoff scenario. Stay tuned as we near the end of district play and the first round of the playoffs......there will be lots of "upsets" in the early rounds.

Good analysis. Here we are in Region III finals, with Salado vs. Jasper. Their only common opponents were Robinson and Huffman Hargrave. How will they stack up agains each other this Thursday? Don't know much about Jasper this year; and nothing about Salado.
