Texas High School 4A Softball

So who is the favorite between RP and Foster?

Don't know a lot about Foster this year.

I do know that if #1 and #2 are on, then it will be tough for Foster. They are more like #1A and #1B.

RP has decent bats, but the big hitters have been silent lately. If the big hitters decide to show up and the pitching stays hot, then RP will be hard to beat.

Any information on Foster vs Elgin? Hays vs Moody? Any big time players to go watch in either of these games. College season over and not sure what either teams have and want to try to catch a few games before state....

I haven't seen Moody play this year but they are always well coached and can usually hit the ball pretty well. Their weakness this year would be lack of competition, lots of run rule games, though they go play with the big dogs in pre-season tournaments.

You were right....Moody is just a few players away...They have a SS (don't know her name) that can hit very well and has a great glove. Their #3 batter was also impressive.

BTW....congrats to your daughters this season, I got to watch them during a series and really enjoyed the way they played.

Thanks - the Moody coach's brothers were my kids hitting instructors since they were 10 or so. Who are you going to go watch next ?

The Foster vs RP might be the game to see. . . . I am also curious about Leander since they have struggled for the past 4 years. Looking forward to the State tourney.

The State tournament this year was pretty wild. . . .

IMO this year was not typical of years past. In many past years the dominant teams were obvious and the games were uneventful.

This year Foster and Lovejoy fought it out in extra innings as many people thought this was the game for the title in 4A..Lovejoy pulled it out.

LaGrange...LG...LG...LG.....Lost in the semi's and proving that it does not matter who you are and the reason why you still have to play the games. I am not saying it was an upset because I do not want to take away from Mineola's impressive win. BUT...

Hays was to "belle of the diamond"...They shocked the teams and the crowds. Hays is why you play the game on the field. They did an amazing job..

The 5A game was solid and ended in some excitement.

Winners:
1A Champs - Weimar - 4th State Title
2A Champs - Pilot Point
3A Champs - Lufkin Hudson - Back to Back Champions
4A Champs - Hays
5A Champs - Lewisville

Can anyone give me insight to the softball programs at Tomball, Magnolia, Magnolia West, & Waller? Will be moving in the area soon & just want get a bit a knowledge to consider before deciding on a school. While I am aware the high school ball is not necessarily a "big thing" anymore in regards to scouting for college, I don't want her experience with it to just be awful. (I already have my info on the academics side of it & am taking my time to make the right choice for my family) TIA
