Oh ye of little faith. Did football season not prove anything to those of you who have doubted Bandera all along? Yes Yoakum may be the ONLY team to have won a game against Sinton in the Playoffs last year... but you can't hide that Bandera Bulldog pride. Go Get 'Em Dogs!! wink

[sinton66]

Tarpon2004:
Cuz Silence is Golden.I think I understand. PI has played well thus far, and the reward for that is you get to take on the defending state champs. Some payoff, huh? wink

[sinton66]

OK, maybe I don't understand. What do you expect when you say nothing? I was simply looking for a comment about how you think PI will fare. Whatever, best of luck to the Tarpons too! wink

[Bandera YaYa]

Ditto for me...i hope we all play well and injury free. There is some awesome talent out there entertaining us week after week!

Also, GO SPURS GO!!!!! We gotta win this one tonite and send those cry babies back to LA!!

[Tarpon2004]

Does anyone know what the homerun record is in high school baseball this year?....I understand that Adrian Alaniz(Sinton) has 10 homeruns as does Abel Delgadillo(PTI)......does anyone know of anybody else?

[pirateman98]

I would like to give one more shout out to the Sinton Pirate baseball team. I would like to say good luck in your best-of-three series against PI. Don't know much about them except that they have made it this far. So that alone say's enough to me about this PI team. I will not be able to attend any of the games but in my heart I will be there. Win or lose I will still be proud of you guy's. It has taken a lot of heart to get you guy's this far, so don't let up. I know I will love to see you guy's back here in Austin playing for your "Fourth State Title". You have played with a lot of class these past few years(not saying that they have never played that way), but it has shown more, too me, this past couple of years. Best of luck to both teams. May God watch with a helpful hand to make sure everyone makes it out and comes back safe.
Go Pirates!!!!
Bring home another Title, to show all those who dout you guy's in Corpus(not saying any names), that Champs are made in Sinton.

Tarpon2004:

I don't know about the other teams in Region IV. WOW, 10 homeruns! I won't make the Friday game, but I'll be there Saturday. Everyone make sure & bring sunscreen & drink plenty of water...I'm sure it will be HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Have a safe trip up & lets hope for some good competition. PTI & Sinton both have great fans, can't wait to watch these 2 teams. Good luck & GO PIRATES!!!!

[sinton66]

I saw on another site that a kid named Creswell from Perryton has 13 homers. I think the record is 17 by a kid from Rosebud-Lott set in 2000.

PI’s Moore overcomes illness to lead Tarpons

By M.E. Benavides
The Brownsville Herald

The term ‘easy’ is foreign in the Tarpons’ vocabulary.

After clinching their sixth consecutive trip to the postseason, the Tarpon’s were hit hard with the news that shortstop Dante Delgadillo would not be able to continue the season after the senior captain was diagnosed with a blood clot in his right arm.

Despite the distressing circumstances, Port Isabel swept its first round playoff series with Devine.

“It’s been tough,” said Port Isabel head coach Robert Holland. “This is just a game and other things are much more important than a baseball game.

MORE...
“In life, nothing comes without sacrifices. We just try to go out there and do our best and have fun.”

If ever there was a poster boy for what the Tarpons’ ball club is going through, it is third baseman Holsen Moore.

During last year’s playoff run, the then junior started loosing a large amount of weight and fatiguing with every practice and game.

“During a band competition I felt very tired and got taken to the doctor,” Moore said. “Once there they found scarring of the tissue on my kidneys. This isn’t something common in my family. If anything heart disease is common, but not kidney.”

The affliction escalated to the point that Moore lost close to 60 pounds in a very short period of time.

Asked to lessen his activities, Moore was forced to step away from baseball.

“The doctor told me I couldn’t do any athletic activity,” Moore said. “After about month, I started bugging my doctor to let me back out there. Finally after about two months, the doctor let me play.”

Once back, Moore struggled to return to full form. The significant weight loss affected his play.

“It was clear he wasn’t himself,” Holland said. “He came back weaker and his numbers went down. But he fought hard, showed up and played.”

Behind a regimen of medicine, regular blood work, exercise and monthly doctor visits Moore returned this season ready to help the Tarpons get back into the postseason.

Hitting close to .500, the senior’s contribution to the Tarpons’ offense is apparent.

“It feels good to get back to the playoffs,” Moore said. “It was something I was looking forward to since last year.”

Moore also had to adjust to a new position. After playing second base since his freshman year, Moore was asked to switch to the ‘hot corner’ midway through the season.

“I asked him to move over and help us at third,” Holland said. “He was all for the move if it helped the team. Once there, he never missed a beat. Once we made the switch, all the players involved have done excellent.”

The Tarpons’ road through the postseason continues with a second round three-game series with defending Class 3A state champion Sinton starting Friday in Kingsville.

Despite the daunting task, Moore has a basic outlook on the daunting task before the Tarpons.

“It’s just another team,” the senior said. “It’s a simple game and the team that goes out there and plays the hardest will win.”

Good advice from someone that is already winning the game of life – one inning, one game and one season at a time.

[whtfbplaya]

Great post, I can feel for these guys because I have also had my share of bad luck: a blood vessel burst behind my eye where I could have been blind for the rest of my life(soph), torn ligament in my right thumb(jr), and a broken collar bone during fb(sr). Good luck in the playoffs!

[pirate4state]

I must have missed it, but when & where do Bandera & Yoakum play out their series?

[bd62]

yoakum and bandera play 3 game series at south san antonio h.s. field. friday nite at 7:30 and first game sat. at 2:00. should be a very good series.understand bandera is a outstanding hitting ball club. we played them in q.f. in football and they were a tough confident bunch.i am sure that attitude carried over to baseball.

[BULLDOGFAN]

I was watching the boys practice and damn those boys can hit. The game Friday should be the game to watch.

[sinton66]

If you guys are anywhere near as good as you were last year, Bandera will have their hands full trying to beat you. wink

[Bandera YaYa]

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT...BUT BANDERA BEAT YOAKUM 3-2, YOAKUM HAD BASES LOADED, NO OUTS,BOTOTOM OF 7TH AND WE HELD THEM AND GOT THE 3 OUTS NEEDED TO SEND THEM HOME....WAS A GREAT GAME...GO DOGS!!

[Bandera YaYa]

Hey Mr. Sinton66....just thought you'd be interested in the outcome of game 1 beween Bandera and Yoakum.....Bandera won 3-2. I know that blows your predictions to hell, but oh well!
But, really, it was hard fought on both sides, we just had an incredible bottom of the 7th inning..they were at bat, bases loaded, no outs, but we managed to get three outs after that all happened! Was a good game and we will have to play tough tomorrow. Hope I have good news for you tomorrow, too!! LOL :)

[sinton66]

Yeah, but you DID have your hands full, didn't you?

[Bandera YaYa]

I don't know how we caught any balls, our hands were so FULL!!! eek!

<small>[ May 17, 2003, 01:09 AM: Message edited by: Bandera YaYa ]</small>

[sinton66]

By the way, the intent of my prediction was the outcome of the series, not just the first game. Hey even Sinton struggled a bit tonight.

[Bandera YaYa]

I know..LOL..just happy we got the first one!! wink

[sinton66]

You should have seen the #1 Lorena/#8 Jasper game last night. Man, what a comeback! Lorena had a LOUSY mistake-prone game thru six innings. Jasper was up 6-1 after the top of the 7th. Lorena scored six in the bottom of the seventh to win. Apparently, Lorena didn't want to let it go that far tonight, they won 13-2 in six innings.

[sinton66]

UIL site shows Gonzales takes game two from Wharton 4-3. Game three proceeding.

[Tarpon2004]

Congrats to the Sinton Pirates on a series well played! Not to disrespect but Alaniz wasnt such the big hype everybody made him out to be..it didnt seem as if he threw in the 90's....but I dont know maybe he was hurting or something.... 4-2(first game)not bad considering 3 of those runs were scored on Tarpon errors but hey thats why the team that makes less errors wins games.....Once again Congrats....can't wait for the rematch next yr. that is if we meet again........

P.S- I HAD A FEELING BANDERA WOULD PULL SOMETHING OFF....if Sinton and Bandera meet up i predict Bandera to take it.......GOOD LUCK PIRATES AND BULLDOGS!

[FBmania]

Congrats to the Pirates!

[Bandera YaYa]

Thanks Mr. Tarpon....that was great of you to say that!! It was a good game, but not as exciting as last nite....and boy was it hot today!!

[Bandera YaYa]

Yes,congrats to the Pirates!! Way to go! Ya Ya!
Would we maybe play you afer this next round, if we both win ? Who will yo be playing next??

[Bulldogs35YaYa]

Hey fellow YaYa, have you heard who won, Hondo or Falfurrias? I wish someone would give us the lowdown on who plays who next and what games are left!

[Bandera YaYa]

Ya Ya...Falfurias won!

[pirate4state]

Congrats to Bandera! Hope to you see you down the road wink :D Good luck in your next series.

[sinton66]

Bandera YaYa:
Yes,congrats to the Pirates!! Way to go! Ya Ya!
Would we maybe play you afer this next round, if we both win ? Who will yo be playing next??Yes, if we both win next weekend, then we face each other the following weekend. We have the winner of the Wharton/Gonzales playoff next. By the way, where are you getting your info that Falfurrias won? I haven't seen anything on that series.

Dont get me wrong i give Adrian all the props he deserves for those 17k's...All i am saying is that he didnt throw as fast as I thought he would....well he never struck me out wink ....GOOD LUCK THE REST OF THE SEASON!!

[sinton66]

Were you expecting him to show up in blue tights and a red cape? Even Nolan Ryan had bad nights occasionally. From what I've heard, he had an average night in that game. Sounds like the Sinton bats didn't come through on Friday like they did on Saturday. You gotta give the kid his due simply because he was able to keep his unbeaten streak alive. Right? And, by the way, the Corpus paper says he drove in 3 of their 4 runs that night(and scored the other one). Sounds like he almost single-handedly won that game. See: http://www.caller.com/ccct/high_school_sports/article/0,1641,CCCT_821_1969006,00.html

The fact that he didn't strike you out puts you in the category of batters that have managed a combined .140 average against him. Not too shabby is it? wink

<small>[ May 18, 2003, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: sinton66 ]</small>

[Bandera YaYa]

Everyone on here gives their 2 cents, so here's mine ....Going into the Yoakum series, all we heard was how fast and amazing their pitcher was, it had us worried for sure. Then we start playing and sure, he was good, but not un-hittable. I mean I was expecting each inning to be "3 up and 3 down", but that didn't happen at all! I'm just saying that pre-game hype isn't always accurate. And,after playing the 2nd game, they really didn't have another pitcher to worry about. We scored 6 runs,first bat up! Besides one player,no matter what position cannot win the game alone!

[sinton66]

No high school pitcher is unhittable, and anyone that expects one to be is sure to be disappointed. In fact I don't know of any pitcher at any level that would fit that description. Even Adrian Alaniz is not unhittable, but in his case, the key consideration is you have to make those hits count when you get them, because there won't be a whole lot of them.

<small>[ May 18, 2003, 01:48 PM: Message edited by: sinton66 ]</small>

[Bandera YaYa]

True. Well, Bandera has several good pitchers, who can stand with the best, so if and when we meet,it should be a good game. How is Sinton's hitting? We have alot of good hitters, that's probably what we are known best for.

[sinton66]

Sinton's top five are hitting above .400. They have 2 of those above .500. If you want, go to the district website and check the stats. www.sintonisd.net (http://www.sintonisd.net) Click on the High School and then on 2003 Baseball Stats in the left column. Do you guys have stats you can share?

[Bandera YaYa]

Sorry, I don't know for sure, let me see if I can get some stats and I'll get back to you. Sounds like our two teams would be a good match up!

[Bandera YaYa]

Sinton, found out some hard facts...and you can call the San Antonio Express News to back it up.....we lead in hitting,as a team,over ALL teams in SA, including 4A and 5A teams..We have at least 7 hitting over .400, most over .500..Josh Faglie was leading city wide with stats of over .600! One game we hit 7 homers, another 6. Check us out in the Texas High School Baseball Mag...Against Yoakum, our smallest batter hit a homer...Although we didn't really do our best hitting against Yoakum...when we do..
WATCH OUT!! :D

[BULLDOGFAN]

Yes and we are faster then a speeding bullet (except for Josh ) , and can leap tall buildings with a single bound. Most eat calf fries for breakfast, after harvesting them, and we definetely have the most kids with common last names that no one can pronounce.

Grrrrrrr.......

[sintonfan74]

Has anyone heard when or where about the Sinton-Gonzales game

[Tarpon2004]

LOL...ok Sinton66 :rolleyes: ....SUPERMAN?.LOL..I wouldnt even consider him a Wonderwoman.......all i was saying is that his pitching wasnt as fast as I thought it would be...but i guess you take it as an insult or something...whatever..and i DID give him his due as you put it,but i dont know maybe you couldnt read the post or something......well we didnt do to bad considering that were a "valley team" as one of your players put it...but well be back...we have alot of players returning...im just hoping that one of our pitchers that was dormant this whole year becomes more acccurate......because this yr. he was a sophmore throwing mid 80's he shoud be ready for next yr. though.....anyways GOOD LUCK TO YALL IN THE REST OF YOUR SEASON !!!!!

[SintonFan_inAustin]

eek! Pirates Championship seasons the toughest games were in thier own region and it looks like some close games ahead starting with Gonzales. Tarpon2004 u can get ready for next season knowing theres nobody that can strike u out after u faced somebody that wasnt so impressive :D

[sinton66]

Tarpon2004, I'm not insulted, just trying to educate you a little. You know, throwing heat isn't the only way to play this game. If you're up against a good hitting team, in fact it might be the worst thing you could do. wink Alaniz can throw some heat, but it's not his money pitch.

Tarpon2004 I was at both of the games you're team will be back next year that is for sure. The pitcher in the first game did a good job very impressive both on the mound and at the plate. :p

Man you people get everything soooo confuuuseeed :mad: ......I NEVER said that Alaniz wasn't impressive.....I know that in order for a pitcher to be successful he needs to have a variety of pitches...I hand it to Alaniz that he's a hell of a pitcher wink ...and I KNOW that HEAT isn't the only way to win games but I never said it was.....ALL I was saying these past couple of posts was that his fastball wasnt as fast I THOUGHT it was going to be......like I thought when he would throw it, it would be like a blurr or something....lol....and when I found out he was averaging 92 mph against us I was surprised that I could see the ball all the way to the mitt........."Tarpon2004 u can get ready for next season knowing theres nobody that can strike u out after u faced somebody that wasnt so impressive".....LOL RIIIIGHT I have had my share of strike-outs this season......AND ONCE AGAIN......I never said he wasn't impressive :mad: ........all I simply said was that his fastball wasn't as impressive as I THOUGHT it would be.........so I guess what im trying to say is that 90mph pitching isn't that bad.....try to understand that down here in the "valley" we dont see 90mph pitching and when u hear hype about someone throwing in the 90's it kinda gets to you..........and for some reason alot of you guys thought I was saying that Adrian sucked as a pitcher...but what I WAS REALLY saying was that his "HEAT" wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.............okay there........LOL....now that im done writing my BOOK ...lol...I am gonna head out........and for the LAST TIME GOOD LUCK PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!!!...lol.............. :p

Ok,Ok, hey we gotta razz you a bit, don't we? I remember when the Rangers acquired Bert Blyleven back in the 70's. This is the only pitcher I have ever seen that could consistently throw the fastball at 108 mph. He lost most of the games he pitched for the Rangers by one run (1-0,2-1, etc.). The problem was that whenever a good fastball hitter would make solid contact, it went right out of the park. I actually felt sorry for the guy, he could really pitch that fastball.
As far as a rematch next year, it won't be the same Sinton team. We will graduate at least seven starters this year. But thanks for the kind thoughts and well wishes. Good luck to you guys next year! wink

Damn thats fast.....7 starters....thats alot...hopefully the young ones will step it up........and I am hoping that if you guys get passed Bandera that yall play Carthage just so you can shut their Cocky mouths up..I mean I dont got nothing against them but they are just whiners....but you gotta give their PLAYERS some props their makin some noise..............PEACE!!.............#27

P.S- I wouldnt mind a Sinton vs Port Isabel football game.........I would be interested to see which side would have the most fans..........peace!

Sinton is going to be very young in all programs next year. We had a good Jv though, so who knows?
