Jacksonville Baseball Team

[powerlifter90]

Heard that the Jax legion team is looking REAL good for this summer, but they are still debating between AA and AAA.  Key transfers from Des Arc and Lonoke "should" take starting positions and strengthen the team is areas that had some questions.   With some strong pitching that is already playing for Jax High it looks like the legion team could enjoy more success than the high school has been.

<br />Any idea how many kids at JHS and NP?  SH has about 920 in grades 9-12.<br />

Probablly around 1200+ kids combined for NP and JAX

[HSUball2]

Heck yea, I didnt see anyone from lonoke out there, but the guy from Des Arc is pretty legit. Im excited about the season

closer to 1500, Jax is in the middle 800's while NP is around the upper 600's

[blue4hire]

Jville has to have more than SH.  SH is dropping to 5A next year based on enrollment.

I'll be able to get exact figures tomorrow, but Jax is in the middle to upper 800's

The new black guy, Charlie/Charles. The one who was in OF with us.

Coach Hick told me that Baxendale was supposed to play with Gwatney this summer. He said he just signed his release form and let him go 'cause he didn't want to play with us or for Coach really. Said he had a better chance at SH. I'm glad he's gone then. If that doesn't fire you up, what does?

[HSUball2]

it makes sense though......I mean that is his team, he cant help it where he lives. u know? I dont take it as an insult, we just have to respect his decision. I mean it is the right thing to do.

Jacksonville swept West Memphis. 11-8, 11-2 (or close to that).

Jacksonville is now a 4 seed

Correctomundo.

Jax only starts 3 Sr's, RF, CF and 1B. 

Maybe now that the kids in Jax know what a "team" is good things will be coming for years.  Even with this young bunch they are better at just about every position than they have been the last two seasons, when they finished 7 and 8 in conf.  Congrats to the Jax kids way to play "team ball" and pick each other up instead of talking crap about teammates like what had become the "norm".

^^^^True That^^^^

[powerlifter90]

from the Dad of a former Devil and current Lion.  I would like to say congratulations to the players on the current Jax squad. Not only did they make the tournement as the 4th seed they gave the #1 seed ALL they could handle.  GREAT JOB guys........


to all the underclassmen:  Next year, starts tomorrow, go get em..........

[WBF †]

Like I texted them today, "You've set the bar for those who follow, keep your head up."

'Nuf said.

[HSUball2]

That just goes to show how much little league ball and up has influence on the kids future in ball. Castleberry and all the young ones who were lighting it up this season played UAAA ball. Thats just my opinion though. Congratulations to the 08 Red Devil Baseball TEAM for doing something us underachievers couldnt.

I have to agree with you on that one.  The shortage of "quality" coaches in LL programs is a direct reflection of what happens at the upper levels when kids get there.........

That's why me, you, and blakey-poo need to coach Noad and Nick all the way up.

that's true.  if one kid, picks up one little piece of advice that helps him get to another level in his game, then it is all worth it........

too many daddies that want little johnny to be a "little league all-star" are coaching at that level and aren't teaching the kids crap except for how their kid isn't really all that good anyway.

[HSUball2]

true, but in other news.......this summer, WOW. You should come out to a few games and see for yourself

[powerlifter90]

[powerlifter90]

on base

outfield but said pitching is still possible, depends on how the new recruits pan out.  like I told him NEVER limit your options. 

did you hear OBU's coach is going to UALR?

[HSUball2]

yea for sure......no I didn't hear about that, inform me.

[powerlifter90]

OBU's head coach is leaving and taking the vacant UALR job......

[HSUball2]

Sweet....I heard he was a dick

[XFalkonz]

He may be a dick but he took a team that couldnt beat a team full of sick cats and made them into a winner.

[Baitshop]

"dick" is an understatement.......

[HSUball2]
