Argyle Eagles Baseball

[regaleagle]

After Saturday's rain-out in a nondistrict contest between Argyle and Heritage, the Eagles still have 9 games left to play in the regular season. Six of those games are in district play, so the last week in April will conclude the regular season. Still plenty of games left in district play for many teams to position themselves for the playoffs. Here's my top teams for each region as follows:
REGION I: Argyle(21-1-1)(3-0); Iowa Park(18-2)(3-0); Decatur(21-3)(2-1); Pampa(15-3)(5-0); Stephenville(16-4-1)(2-1); Graham(16-7-2)(4-0); Pecos(15-7)(5-0);Canyon(12-9-1)(5-1); Glen Rose(14-7)(2-1).
REGION II: Canton(22-0)(5-0); Pleasant Grove(16-4)(6-0); Bullard(16-3-2)(7-0); Kilgore(15-5)(6-1); Benbrook(15-3-2)(4-1); Melissa(17-6)(4-1); Crandall(16-9)(6-2); North Dallas(13-3)(5-0); Brownsboro(18-2-1)(3-2); Spring Hill(14-5-1)(5-2); Sunnyvale(12-3-2)(6-2).

Very competitive in Region IV.....the playoffs will be very interesting.

Still to early IMO to conclude anything concrete about any of these regions. Let's just say it will be wide-open sledding with one-gamers spread thruout for this season's playoff picture in Class 4A Baseball. Heck.....there are plenty of other teams not even listed above that will make the playoffs and could surprise.

To be perfectly honest.....I have no idea which teams will end up rising to the top for the regional finals. There are so many teams that are totally capable of winning....especially these one-gamers if they win the coin flip. Just get to that regional final and you have a real chance(50-50) to go to the State Final Four.....which are one-gamers. Anything can happen.....and there's no crying in baseball.....LOL.

I will admit that what Argyle did last year is just unheard of in baseball and will not be repeated this season(by Argyle). Maybe Lake Travis will do it....or AMG in Florida. Highly doubtful though.....it's baseball, for heaven's sakes!!! You know what that means....right??? Just one game, Baby......just win the big one against your toughest opponent at that time and advance. Everybody has a real chance.....don't ever give up! Just play to the final out and see what happens.

New Top Twenty Five this week in Texas High School Baseball......Fulshear(15-3)(7-0) was left out. Yet district mate Sealy(15-5)(5-1) dropped their district contest to Fulshear already.....and they are ranked #12. Don't know how you calculate that.....somebody missed the boat. They did include most of the rest of the teams I felt deserved to be rated, but had Sinton way too low IMHO. But it's still early......another two weeks should straighten things out considerably.

Lake Travis(22-1)(10-1) finally lost a game last week.....to none other than the team with the worst record in their 9-team district....Austin Aikens(5-21)(2-9). They lost 9-5 and they were 2nd-ranked nationally before the loss. This is what can happen in baseball in any given contest....regardless of the record of your opponent. Looks like IMG in Florida dropped a game last week also and dropped down to #2. Now Colleyville Heritage(previously ranked #3) has the top spot in the MaxPreps Excellent 25. Argyle moved up to #3 and Lake Travis dropped to #6. So Yeah.....Texas has 3 teams in the top 6 spots.....but last week and weeks before they had 3 teams in the top 5 spots. Houston Cypress Ranch(22-2-1) holds the 7th spot and Georgetown(23-2-1) is ranked 8th. So that's 5 spots in the Top Ten in Maxpreps Excellent 25 national baseball rankings this week.
