Benton won game 2 4-3 and then game 3 of the series 1-0. Benton’s Webb had a perfect game going into the 7th.

Tony Larussa would bat the pitcher 8th

Sounds like a terrible time. Just be normal and enjoy watching your kid play ball. You'll be suprised how many good folks you'll meet along the way (and a few crazies)

Clarence Thomas would have been a better choice than several on this list.

Unfortunately $500 gate fees for the season sounds about right. It will cost me more than that this year, and that's mostly 2d Select Series, Super NIT's, and a few others. $12/day for both me and my wife for 14 tournaments. I don't mind it, 2d runs a good tournament. Good competition, venues, umpires, etc...

It's not an all or nothing deal with travel ball. My son plays football, 7v7, club wrestling, middle school baseball, hunts, fishes, etc...in addtion to "travel ball". Your son is 9, if you stay in rec you'll find out about the development gulf soon enough.

If you aren't building your travel team by 6, it's too late.

Shot a hog that was charging me and 6 year old. Finally dropped him 10 feet in front of us. 9mm AR SBR. It was awesome.

Mexico need to become our training ground for our special forces until the cartels are rooted out.

Solid schools, but not SEC caliber. Tech, ULM, NSU, couple of JUCO's. Just a few years ago, that list would have looked even more impressive, but transfer portal has completely changed high school recruiting. The quality of the staff is very good, the depth is exceptional.

Barbe is the standard, but if Benton is ever going to win it all, this is their year. I'd be shocked if there was a better staff in the state. They return 5 senior pitchers form last year's semi final team that will be playing college ball. The two tranfers should shore up the middle infield. It's going to come down to hitting for them. This group really struggles (compared to other good teams) scoring runs.

Snell from Parkway, Turnipseed from Evangel.

Maybe. But moving from Benton to Bossier is pretty easy to pull off for most people. The Benton coach was also the AD and the new guy more than likely would not have caused much of a problem for the family to quietly "relocate" a few miles down the road.
Just look at the incoming transfers this year to Benton baseball from Bossier and Shreveport. Same deal.

I'd be shocked to see Malachi plays anywhere in the SEC. I wanted to be impressed, but outside of arm talent, he left a lot to be desired. Pop was light years ahead against the same competition. Huntington ran a version of the Wing T last year and relied on a couple of big backs, he'd be under center handing it off alot if the new coach sticks with what he's been doing. I'm shocked he didn't transfer (Airline would have made a lot of sense - wide open offense, their QB graduated, and he'd have Darby to throw to).
