Each position has a number
P - 1, Catcher - 2, 1st - 3, 2nd - 4. 3rd - 5, SS-6, Left field -7, Center - 8 and Right -9
If it is a fly out to the center fielder it would be F8, if the SS threw the person out at first it would be 6-3

[18handicap]

Yes, I'm at the game. Sorry about the abbreviated stats, but I only have about 27% left on my battery, so I'm updating very fast and shutting down every half inning.

Hows the weather doing?

Your softball website was great. I'll have one next year for Sealy SB.

[Johnnypaycheck]

come on lady necks, just one more inning!!!

[18handicap]

No I had an inverter that we used at our LSU tailgate parties for blending our daquiris etc and it quit working last week. I haven't had time to get another one. Maybe tomorrow.

[18handicap]

Thanks!!! I'm really going to miss the kids at La Grange, but am looking forward to the new challenge.

Wow - Coach in Red must really be scratching his head now. How could a team from "the weakest region (IV)" beat the team from "the toughest region (III)". Perhaps IV is not as weak as he thinks. Go Lady Necks!

I really hate this reputation that Reg IV has. No matter how good we do in sports other than football, they still consider us all weak. Way to stick to The Man Lady Necks.

NOT SCRATCHING MY HEAD----IF YOU READ MY POST, I SAID I THOUGHT WC WOULD WIN.....I HAD HEARD THEY HAD A GOOD TEAM. I STILL THINK REG 4 IS WEAK...........NOT ALL TEAMS. NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM BH--I DO NOT FEEL THE TOP TEAM FROM OUR REGION REPRESENTED US, BUT BH REPRESENTED US WELL!!!!!!

I WISH WC THE BEST AND WILL CONTINUE TO STAND BY MY POST THAT REGION 4 IS WEAKER THAN REGION 3-----I KNOW THAT WC ISN'T WEAK..........:rolleyes:

Someone had posted that score was 4-3, but it was actually 4-0. Sorry, but game and season is over for Barbers Hill.

[coach_in_red]

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS.....DO YOU THINK BH WAS THE TOP REPRESENTATIVE FOR REGION 3???? DO YOU THINK REGION 3 IS A TOUGHER REGION THAN REG 4??????

[piratebg]

What is your beef with Reg IV? Are you upset because you got knocked out by a Reg IV team? Hey bud, it happens. We are not as weak as some people make us out to be. Just accept it and you will live a happier life.

THANKS for the support Tiger!!
I have a happy life. No--I am not upset because we got beat by a region 4 team.....I just wish reg 4 would realize that with the EXCEPTION of WC, SInton, and I am sure there are a FEW more tough teams, but come on......BH, Splendora, Bellville, La Grange, Sealy, China Spring, Robinson, Rockdale, and I could go on.......

I saw who WC played and they had a tough schedule and won!! In no way am I trying to take anything from WC--they deserve to be where they are....... I even have a family member who is part of the program there, but let the truth be told------they would have had a much more difficult road to drive had they been in region 3----you can even ask the WC coach and I am sure she will tell you....and in no way am i saying they wouldn't have made it out----i:)

We Region IV folks just tend to get tired of the Region IV is weak crap.

You're gonna start a war, coach. LOL
I said several times earlier in year in order to win it all, you have to not only be good, but also lucky and playing your best ball when it counted most. BH was doing that in region, but made couple mistakes against WC. WC got some big hits and their pitcher controlled BH bats.
I thought Splendora was team to beat in Reg 3. They had knocked off Little Cypress Mauriceville in warmup game. Mauriceville is at state in class 4A. Most of the other people who were picking favorites in reg 3 had Rockdale, with some support for Bellville, Barbers Hill and a few others. I don't know if anyone looking at it objectively had anybody but Columbia picked in reg. 4
Bellville beat Halletsville 11-0 in Halletsville earlier in year and La Grange beat them 8-0. Halletsville went to region 4 semifinals and took sinton to 3 games.
I do feel there are more good teams in Region 3, but IMO, the best softball played is within about a 100 mile radius of Houston. This includes West Columbia.
Good luck, Lady necks. Bring the title back to our area code.

You are right BTEX. Luck is a part of it. I remember when we won our last state championship in baseball when Adrian Alaniz was playing we were fortunate in the draw. There were 4 good teams their besides us (Sinton) which were Forney, Abilene Wylie and Lorena. We played Wylie in the semis so we used our main ace, Adrian, because Wylie probably had the best batters and with Adrian pitching we held them to one run I think and won 4 to 1. Then we played Forney who had a great pitcher but he couldn't pitch against us because he had to pitch a long game the night before against Lorena in a 1 to 0 win. We had a second pitcher who was good in Jason Adams and he did great against Forney and our batters got the runs in and we won 5 - 0. But the luck of the draw is very important.

I will agree with everything you said. I wish WC the very best and I have said it several times, but it gets lost in my posts.....WC is a good team and I hope they win it all.

When does the college baseball regional get started in austin? Is Alaniz pitching first game?

Who is the other great team? I know you consider WC one of them but who is the other one?

[3aSoftball4Mom]

Sealy mom can't stand it any more, she has to put her 2 cents in too!! :D :D

West Columbia would be a great team in any region that they are playing in. In any state.
Anyone that has ever seen their pitching and defense would have to agree. The Select teams from that area have always been hard to beat, even on a bad day.
Next year, when WC moves to Region 3, they will be the team to beat.

The teams that I saw early on in the season that were pretty tough in Reg 4, were Sinton, Wharton, Goliad and some others whose names escape me at the moment.
I heard that Liberty Hill, Devine, and a few others were really good teams too, just never got the chance to see them.
It all really depends on which day you are watching.

:clap: And come on, you really have to admit, that Barbers Hill did a great job this year going through the bracket and making it to Austin. Knocking off Bellville, Splendora~~both great teams.

Wow I feel better now, why don't we all quit analyzing the regions and just get along.:D And congratulate the girls that played this year!!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
