Thanks for a vote of confidence WSHS. You are correct, we are not going to just lay down and give it to Welsh. I have always been very supportive of Kinder in football and baseball and all baseball season I have told people that Kinder was the real deal even when they were less than 500. It’s kind of disappointing that we get no respect at all and it is assumed that “Welsh will sweep Many”. We have had a mysterious season losing to a team or two that we should have beaten but playing close and even beating teams we shouldn’t have. We are without doubt the underdogs but I promise you we will not accept the assumption that we will get swept. Thank you for the nice words about the pitching. My son was the pitcher when we played y’all at Winnfield. We also have a pitching surprise for the quarters. Good luck, I believe y’all will be in Sulphur in May 10.

No problem on the vote of confidence. My opinion is that by the quarters, everybody belongs and anyone can beat anyone. I would imagine Winnfield is viewed as the underdog vs Loreauville this weekend and that’s fine by us. Hope it gives our boys some extra motivation. I understand that kinder, Loreauville and welsh are in tough districts and play tough schedules but it’s not like Winnfield and Many don’t go out of there way to schedule tough games during the season. We have common opponents with all three teams and are 6-0 against them.
FYI- your son pitched a heck of a game. We put pressure on him several innings and he worked out of it every time. If the pitching supruise is a certain player being back in the rotation, Welsh better come ready.

Many has better pitching than Welsh.

While I don’t think Welsh should underestimate Many, I don’t think you should be underestimating Welsh. They will have some pitching, they will field and they will hit. We traveled to Welsh last year and our ace had trouble finding the strike zone and it went downhill from there.

Winnfield vs Loreauville is a matchup worthy of a Semi-Final game. I thought Winnfield was a lock to get to Sulphur but some losses late in the season has me wondering. I would still call Winnfield the favorite and their at home but Loreaville is the Defending Champ. I really think this Series could go either way. If it was a Semi-Final game i'd give Winnfield the edge but in a 3 game series could go either way.
No disrespect to Many. Its a good town, a good school, and has great people but i've seen their schedule and i don't think they can hold up against Welsh in a 3 game series. Still see Welsh sweeping the series at home. Welsh better be ready to play though.
French Settlement beating DeQuincy was a surprise especially after DQ blew them away in Game 1. They do have a win against STA and Doyle so we better be ready to play from the start this time. We could sweep but wouldn't surprised if it went 3 games. This the 2nd year in a row that we meet them in the playoffs in both softball and baseball so there won't be any surprises for them and they should have good fan support.
Doyle had a tough series with Rosepine and this should be another tough one as Avoyelles Charter is a quality team. Its a long road trip but i see this going 3 games with Doyle coming out on top. Wouldn't be surprised if Avoyelles pulls off the upset though.

Welsh is overrated been told that by many people down that area. Man, you best pump your brakes. You were on here a couple weeks ago talking about over rated teams. Called many taking Winnfield in district and that didn’t work out. Im not on here to down any team. Many is a quality team, but so is Welsh. They have wins over Kinder, Notre Dame... list could go on. They are ranked three because they earned it. I think Many has a shot to take them out, especially if you know who back in the rotation.... but they are a quality team. They aren’t overrated.

I still believe Winnfield got the toughest draw out of the top four teams in 2A this year.

I haven’t heard any specifics but I would think that Welsh has pretty good pitching. No way will Many players, coaches, or fans be taking Welsh lightly. We know that we have to bring our A game to have a chance. I believe that the top bracket will be Winnfield/Kinder for semis.

Its not very deep but its good enough to augment a very good offense.

Dequincy beat Many pretty easily. Dequincy could beat anyone on any given day but also could play pretty bad on defense at times as well. Saturday must have been one of those days I hear. I have seen Many and Welsh both teams are pretty equal believe it or not Welsh probably has a few more athletes than Many should he interesting. I look for Kinder to roll.

Logic is correct and the day DeQuincy beat Many was one of those days that Many played really bad defense. DQ took advantage of it and did easily beat Many. The level of play seems to be feast or famine.

By this time in the playoffs, all the teams left are able to beat one another. It does no good to look at regular season wins or losses to make a determination on how good or bad a team is. Early in the season during tournament play teams have to use their entire pitching staff to play multiple games over a couple of days. Most teams are still trying to figure out their lineup, pitching rotation and giving some of the younger guys playing experience. By the end of the year, most teams are pitching their best against district completion and using what's left for the out of conference opponents.

This isn't the first time Superdome2018 has spouted off about teams being over rated. Two weeks ago he was talking the same nonsense about the teams at the top being over rated and Many would take district 3-2a (assuming because Winnfield lost to a quality B school in Converse). Nevertheless, it didn't work out the way he hoped.

Most teams now either have peak at the right time or has been solid all year, Rumor has it that the kid form Many, that was in the 86 to 88 range last year, has been cleared by all doctors and trainers to throw a few innings competitively and has a rise in his velo since TJ surgery be interesting to see how this might play out if they are close in a game with Welsh. Both teams have some power and Welsh field is extremely short. Might be fun games to watch. Give Welch the edge homefield will help.

I've heard a lot of different things on his return. Heard quarters, heard semis, heard championship, heard he might wait until after his training ends with Robicheaux's son.

I think its going to be a matter of how the series with Welsh is going. A close game, Many with the lead, my bet is they bring him in.

Yea they are keeping a tight lid on his status , I bet your are right if the game is close or Many take the lead yo might see him for a few innings , he is a strike thrower and will not walk a lot check his stats from last year pretty good. 89ks and only 13 walks velo may be a question if he back or has seen some sort of gain.

Yes he's solid. I've seen higher velocity but not sure I have seen a high school kid over the last couple of years that commands his pitches like Ross. He pitched in the district finale last year against Winnfield and held us to one run. I will say, we had already won district earlier that day so maybe our boys weren't as focused at the plate as they should have been, but he definitely shut us down. I still question why Many's coach waited until the third game of the series after we had clinched district to pitch his ace (Ross). Anyways, I have sources who have said he's definitely back and even some posters on this forum who have said Many has a pitching supruise for Welsh. Then I have had other sources who have told me he's definitely not coming back for the quarters. Only time will tell.

Yep , confirmed with a source in Lafayette , the kid Many from is released from Tommy John and throwing his last bullpen at 87 to 89 velo. Has be cleared to throw 2 to 3 innings with a low pitch count, somewhere in the thirty to fifty range, last bullpens have been 75 to 85 in his pitch count with no pain but they want to be cautious but there nothing coming out of Many about him which is concerning , I think the decision if he is going to go is left up to him and maybe the parents, this could be interesting but I am hedging my bet that he doesn't throw, to much of a future to be thinking about.

How long has he been out for? Think he got hurt in the second or third round of the playoffs last year. Had the surgery early summer. Some people say he will come back, others say he want. Kid is a competitor lf the series is close this weekend and his pitching can make a difference, he will pitch.

Ross is not gonna pitch until summer league. They haven’t had him all year besides pitched couple inning against Lakeview as part of his rehab. He’s working hard to get back but won’t be ready to throw until the summer. They play two Friday, planning on winning both.
