System is so stupid either stick to 1 game or do best of three for the whole thing. It's really stupid how they do best of 3 in round two and quarters then 1 game in semi.

Well i'm obviously biased so i'm going with my Yellow Jackets. However, Sterlington is a very worthy opponent and probably the most balanced team in Class 2A. They remind me a lot of our 2014 and 2015 team that won back to back State Championships. We still have a couple of players left from the 2015 team that can provide some leadership for the younger players that don't have any Championship game experience. Should be a great game and i wish safe travels for Sterlington , Lakeside , Rosepine , and the other teams with a long ride to Sulphur. Godspeed and let's have a great Tournament.

I wish they would be a true double elimination tournament once you get to the state tournament. I think this would allow the kids to really enjoy and experience the tournament and then the true best team will prevail, not someone with the best pitcher there. How many times have you seen kids get there for the first time, feel the pressure, get big eyed and crap the bed in the first inning and are now screwed. They dont get to enjoy the tournament, because the game is over in 1.5-2 hours. Plus the LHSAA would make more money and you know they love that. They could even do this in SB and stop making the quarters part of the tournament. |

That could solve the problem of the best two teams being on one side. |

As it is now no team can ride their best in Sulphur because a team can only use their best pitcher once. For example the 2A Semi Finals and State Championship are on consecutive days. A coach is going to have to decide when to use his ace. Semi Finals or State Championship. Can't use him both days. So the team with the best pitcher might not win anyway.

You only have one game to play. You cannot look ahead, you must play your best hand first because there is no second without a win.

Really depends on how good your number 2 is and whether or not your offense is good enough to outscore the other team. Some coaches will throw their #2 in the Semis to save their ace for the championship game. Thats what our coach did in 2014 and 2015. |

Kinder has had a few great pitchers over the years, but lots of really good pitchers. The series scenarios will generally be in their favor. It's rare that 2A team has 3 very good pitchers, but that seems to be the norm for Kinder. |

Well I've heard for years from the s that you just can't win that often with just hard working kids and good coaching. That it's not the X's and O's but the jimmy and the joes. Sound familiar? |

Sounds familiar because you say something along those lines every day, if not every hour. Are you using something that you have done nothing but rip on for the last couple of years to prove your point? I'm not following your logic or lack there of. |

You just said that it's highly unusual for a 2A team to continually have good pitching but it is normal for Kinder. I'm just questioning how is that possible for a small town NOT- SELECT school to do that? |

But what is more unusual is the unmatched involvement that the little league program has had, the community support, the coaches who have learned from some of the best in the state. Men like Lynn Savant and Rick Whittington, who really put Kinder baseball on the map. That is the stuff that produces three good pitchers on one double-A team...not what you are insinuating. |

He is lonely because he doesn't have a team to pull for. Except us. And he likes repeating rumors. About us, he's a KINDER fan.

I don't know about now that "select ball" has become such a big deal, but back in the day, you could take a picture of a mustang league all star team and compare it to the high school baseball team ten years down the road, and they would be damn near identical. There's a lot to be said about playing with the same group of kids for 10-12 years. |

True, I am pulling for Kinder in the B bracket, and Opelousas Catholic in the A bracket. Our current and future district mates. I am a little board, but fixing to tee off shortly! |

Those words have never came out of my mouth. I have always had the upmost respect for the Notre Dame program, especially Coach Cook. As a matter of fact, you are promoting that notion more than anybody, with what you are insinuating about Kinder.

We had a strong little league team every year. We would make the finals in regional all stars every year, but Kinder would whip us in the finals every year lol. Only time I ever recall kinder losing in all stars was a couple times when Jennings played in our tournament.
