Argyle Eagles Baseball

[regaleagle]

Starting the season out as the Top-ranking team in the nation, the Eagles finally faltered and lost to Southlake Carroll this weekend. Their continuous win streak was broken at 50 straight games......even though they did play to a 4-4 tie early this season in their 5th outing in the Texas Border Olympics Tournament to Corpus Christi Ray.....that game was played in Corpus Christi in inclimate weather. Argyle currently stands at 14-1-1 after going 5-1 this weekend at the Highland Park Tournament against some top teams from the Metroplex. Most likely Argyle will fall from their #1 spot even though they dropped a game to a ranked opponent. Colleyville Heritage stood at #3 nationally this week with Bobby Witt, Jr......perhaps the #1 high school recruit in the nation for the pro draft. Lake Travis had moved up this week to #6.....so I'm not sure how much Argyle will fall in the rankings next week. I'm guessing some, but not much. They have beat some very quality teams all over Texas this early season and have a full schedule of 32 games before any playoff games. That's quite a full schedule to play in such a short time at the high school level.....and the weather so far this early baseball season has been poor and cold. Argyle has 11 Division I commits on their team this season.....kinda unbelievable in baseball. That means some of these commits are not even starting some games. Yep......Argyle is LOADED this season again in baseball.....otherwise they would not have so many wins already and top-ranked nationally among the best regardless of school size.

It's still early in the season.....district games have not even started yet. But I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict we will see Argyle vs Sinton for the State Championship this season......I believe both of these teams are that much above the rest in 4A this season. Abilene Wylie has a good team again, but they are no longer in 4A. Not sure about what Sweeney lost to graduation last year.....but they could give Sinton a run. I'm certain there will be some upsets and some teams moving up as the season progresses.....perhaps Fredericksburg or Robinson will show some late season quality. Texarkana Pleasant Grove is always the toughest team for Argyle to get past.....they are a perennial contender every year it seems and have been to State many times. Still too early for the cream to rise.....but my money is on Argyle to repeat. But anything can happen in the playoffs.

Stephenville has an impressive start and is undefeated so far this season.....could be a showdown with Argyle in Region I. Iowa Park and Levelland are also tough teams coming out of Region I. Region I is fairly loaded with very good baseball teams this season.

But the real surprise team might just be Decatur......in Argyle's district!!! They appear to be very steady with a complete return of starters like Argyle and have not lost a game yet this season. Looks like Argyle will have their work cut out just to win the region. It's never easy to repeat....especially in baseball where so many variables are in play on any given game to advance to the next round. Good luck to everyone this season and may your bats swing freely.

Sweeny returns just about the same team from last season. Sinton returns 7 all seniors but start 3 very good freshmen one them is highly touted, Rylan Galvan. So far he's hitting .405 with 2 hr's 14 rbi's 8 doubles. On mound he's 1-0 with a save 4 IP 0 R 2 BB 11 SO. One of his AB https://twitter.com/i/status/1104250829954076672

Sinton is not rank which is good flying under the radar.


Argyle and Sweeny early favorites to get to title game.

[regaleagle]

Guess what??? Sinton ain't "flying under the radar" to teams like Argyle and Sweeny.....LOL. OR Cuero and Wimberley either. Who else down there looks strong this season that could be a surprise, surprise, surprise???

[regaleagle]

Here's a kinda weird stat that has happened for Argyle in the early going this season.....they have 3 different players on the team that have connected with a grand slam so far. One of them was a walk-off GS against a very good Coppell team in the Highland Park tournament last week in the bottom of the 7th.

[regaleagle]

Argyle took out #3 Iowa Park(14-2) by a score of 9-2 in Argyle, then defeated a highly ranked 5A Cleburne team 5-4 this week to send their record to (16-1-1) for the season. Argyle has played only one game all season long at home......this week's win against Iowa Park. #2 Canton extended their season winning record to (16-0) with two more wins this week. Stephenville won 2 more this week to go to (13-1-1) on the season defeating Alvarado and a pretty good Kennedale team.

A rematch from last season's regional final, Huh? I know for a fact that Kilgore is loaded with quality players and a very good offense. Argyle will have to bring their "A" game to the field to win this one-gamer semifinal, for sure. There's no doubt that Kilgore has the horses to contend with Argyle and win a one-gamer. Should be a very exciting matchup.

[KilgoreDogs9753]

Yes sir I think Kilgore can battle Argyle in a 1 game. As long as they take care of business with Sweeny first.

According to TX HS Baseball, the semifinals are:

Sweeny v Kilgore
Argyle v LV

[Scoop27]

That's correct for the semifinals

[regaleagle]

Ok......read it wrong??? Argyle draws a very hot-hitting La Vernia in the semifinal. If La Vernia took care of Fulshear and then Liberty Hill in back-to-back rounds by scoring so many runs in Games 2 & 3 against BOTH of these stellar teams.......then look out for the Bears!!! They must be able to hit.....regardless of who's throwing. Outscoring your opponent is the name of the game, for sure.

[regaleagle]

The La Vernia Bears(28-11) have scored a total of 303 runs in 39 games this season.....an average of 7.77 runs/game scored. They have allowed a total of 165 runs scored this season, an average of 4.23 runs/game allowed. Argyle(38-1-1) has scored a total of 338 runs in 40 games this season....averaging 8.45 runs/game scored. The Eagles have allowed a total of 86 runs scored.....an average of 2.15 runs allowed/game. These are the numbers for each team against the schedules they have played this season.
