Wasn't a competitive game either. Loreauville was on another level and Winnfield didn't look interested in fighting back.
The first game was very competitive. 1-1 going into sixth inning. Couple call go our way Loreauville would have been scoreless. We don’t have a kid forget to tag we have at least least one more run lead maybe more. Second game wasn’t competitive, our number two been dealing with a minor injury and couldn’t get the ball across the plate. Second game was worse that the first for officiating. Not blaming officials cause they made bad calls on both sides but we definitely had more calls go against us. At the end of the day Loreauville may have had 5 earned runs total with both games combined. I say that to say this- yes I believe Loreauville has the most athletic team in 2A, but they can be beat if their Opponent doesn’t beat themselves. Well, earned and unearned runs both count. I agree, first game was better, but Winnfield never really had much of a threat other than the one kid who made the baserunning mistake. Loreauville was a better team, hands down. Pitching, defense, and swinging. Nothing against the Tigers, just a mismatch, which vs Loreauville, there are many. |

If our CF doesn’t drop the ball in the gap, Winnfield doesn’t score a run. Our pitcher was throwing a no-hitter until that bloop single late in the game. My last comment wasn't trying to take anything away from Loreauville. They straight up beat us no doubt. I was just saying, the first game could have went either way. Of course would have, could have, should have really doesn't matter. But its not like Loreauville had been scattering base hits everywhere either. I haven't seen the box score but I'm pretty sure there wasn't many hits for either team. Second game we spotted you all the first 7 runs off of walks and hbp and most were with 2 outs. Ump wouldn't call a breaking ball strike on a left hander for nothing which makes a difference considering half the lineup is left handed and they can all straight stroke. Not sure how many times the ump rang one of you all up on strike two because he forgot he called the previous strike a ball. For real, you alll are built like a pro or college team. I've never seen a high school team that balanced. I don't think we have that many left handed kids in our entire parish.
I think Loreaville is athletically superior to any 2A team and I believe you all will win it again and probably next year as well. But, its one and done now. IF one of the three teams left has a really good pitcher and they play error free then they have a chance. Had our kids been a little more patient and not pushed at the plate, quit swinging at ball four and five it would have helped us tremendously. If Kinder comes in more disciplined and patient at the plate they got a shot. If they do that, even if they lose, they may force yall to go to the bullpen and burn another pitcher for the finals.
Only time will tell. Good luck to Loreauville.

Loreauville had 8 hits in game 1 and each one was costly. We have 2 more lefty pitchers that didn’t throw against Winnfield and more lefty’s coming up through the school programs. The thing about this team is that they’ve been through many pressure situations and bad umpires. They are also mostly Juniors. Against Winnfield we played 2 sopres (3B and our 4th outfielder), 3 seniors (2B, RF/DH, and relief pitcher), and the rest juniors. |

The Winnfield fan is claiming that Loreauville had maybe 5 earned runs in the two games yet Loreauville had 8 hits and 4 earned runs in the first game alone, while Winnfield had a single base hit. Yea, that sounds rational.
The Winnfield fan claims that a minor injury to the #2 pitcher and a bad umpire handed Loreauville 7 runs. Does Loreauville get credit for being patient at the plate and taking a lot of pitches? Maybe the pitcher just wasn’t throwing strikes.
And the very purpose of the Best 2 of 3 and the pitch count rules is to test pitching. No more running the table with a single pitcher. Teams must develop a staff. Not a #1 then cross your fingers and pray.
Loreauville May be on the verge of a 2-3 year run of titles. Give them credit and stop with the excuses.

Not competitive and really not close talent wise. Nothing against Winnfield. Loreauville is just that loaded. |

I think I mentioned several times in my earlier posts how good Loreauville is. I haven't tried to take anything away from them, they straight up beat us. But to say that the first game of the series wasn't competitive is ridiculous. As good and athletic as they are it was a 1-1 game going into the sixth inning. 2-1 goint into the seventh. Had we played a little better in the field our starter would have finished the game, but we didn't and his pitch count was too high. They had three hits at that point, and only one mattered (but wouldn't have if the ump makes the right call when the kid is picked off). The box score I just looked at had them with 6 hits, three by one kid --- which if Kinder or one of the other two can take him out of the equation it might make a difference.
As for the # 2 pitcher-- they didn't have to do much. I don't think he got a pitch across the plate even in warmups. so yes he obviously wasn't throwing strikes. He walks the bases loaded, so we got to bring another in. 7 runs score in the first two innings off of walks, hbp and a couple of base hits. That being said, him and the rest of our staff had played well all year, just picked the wrong time to have bad games. I have said the ump was terrible all the way around not using it as an excuse. Just happened that a lot of his bad calls happened to us when we had two outs. Led to the innings getting extended and Loreauville captitilized.
I believe I also mentioned that they will probably win it all this year and next year. I realize why they do the 2 of 3, was just reminding everyone that now its single game elimination. If Kinder, Welsh or Doyle play lights out they still have a shot. Everyone on here acting like its a foregone conclusion they win it all again, all I'm saying if we can play like we did last Friday and still be in the game in the 7th inning then yes I believe Kinder, Welsh or Doyle can beat them if they play mistake free ball.
I hope they do win it all again honestly. I hope they beat the brakes off everyone, be a small consolation for how we got done Friday. Sure wished we had met in the semis, pretty good chance we still get beat... but at least I wouldn't have had to endure that second game last Friday.

Yet the first game against Winnfield wasn't close or competitive considering it was 1-1 going into 6th 2-1 going into 7th?
For real though, you all have a stacked team. Obviously you guys didn't play to your potential and had an off night. It happens. Positive you will be in Sulphur with another shot at the championship next year. If Winnfield happens to meet yall along the way, hope our coach decides to walk #5 every at bat and yall have another off night lol.

I never said game 1 wasn't competitive. I only pointed out that Winnfield didn't have a single hit until that late bloop. |

Just remember our coach getting caught up in the moment and either forgetting the pitch count rules or misinterpreting them. Ended up having to forfeit that second game of the series.
Kinder, Welsh and Loreauville are definitely in a class of there own thus far. Pretty good track record in football and softball as well.

Port Barre has a pretty good baseball tradition and with the success Kentwood had this year it could attract more players to their program. Plus i think they'll have a good shot to win their District. Div III takes a slight hit losing State Champ Calvary Baptist and Riverside but Div II Champion St. Charles coming back nearly makes up for those loses. I don't see any other changes to 2A/Div III that would make much of a difference. |

If Winnfield happens to meet yall along the way, hope our coach decides to walk #5 every at bat and yall have another off night lol.
A little late i know but Loreauville didn't have an off night. Kinder just beat them. Like they just beat us last year. Kinder pitcher kept the ball down after the first inning and got lots of ground outs. Kinder didn't make mistakes and played excellent defense. That's what it takes to win a title. |

Now that the season is complete, I put together some numbers on 2A baseball since the split. I took out Sterlington since they were only in 2A the first year. They went 7-0 in the playoffs that year. TEAMS THAT HAVE MADE THE QUARTERFINALS Kinder 17-3 [3 State Tournaments, 1 Title) Loreauville 15-3 [2 State Tournaments, 1 Title) Lakeside 11-4 [2 State Tournaments, 1 Runner-Up) Welsh 12-6 [3 State Tournaments, 1 Runner-Up) Many 11-6 DeQuincy 9-6 Doyle 7-5 [1 State Tournament, 1 Runner-Up) Rosepine 8-6 [1 State Tournament] Winnfield 6-5 Avoyelle Public Charter 3-3 French Settlement 5-7 TEAMS WITH ROUND 1 WINS BUT HAVEN'T MADE QUARTERFINALS Delhi Charter 3-4 Springfield 4-6 Vinton 3-5 Mamou 1-2 Madison Prep 1-2 Bunkie 2-5 Pine 2-5 Delcambre 1-4 North Caddo 1-4 Lake Arthur 1-4 We have Port Barre and Kentwood coming in next year. Port Barre has a pretty good baseball tradition and with the success Kentwood had this year it could attract more players to their program. Plus i think they'll have a good shot to win their District. Div III takes a slight hit losing State Champ Calvary Baptist and Riverside but Div II Champion St. Charles coming back nearly makes up for those loses. I don't see any other changes to 2A/Div III that would make much of a difference. Port Barre has tradition but nothing recent, even though they played Eunice close in this years first round. I pull for them because I know one of the players, but they are in a really tough district and will be lucky to get 2 district wins. If Kentwood can keep building on what they have and keep getting athletes on the field, they will be a tough opponent in the playoffs. They only have Pine to worry about in district and should win all the other district games. |

As for Port Barre, they might do better than u think. Welsh is losing a bit and LCA isn't all that good themselves. Lake Arthur is improving but still a work in progress. So PB might win more than 2 District games. |

The Winnfield fan is claiming that Loreauville had maybe 5 earned runs in the two games yet Loreauville had 8 hits and 4 earned runs in the first game alone, while Winnfield had a single base hit. Yea, that sounds rational. The Winnfield fan claims that a minor injury to the #2 pitcher and a bad umpire handed Loreauville 7 runs. Does Loreauville get credit for being patient at the plate and taking a lot of pitches? Maybe the pitcher just wasn’t throwing strikes. And the very purpose of the Best 2 of 3 and the pitch count rules is to test pitching. No more running the table with a single pitcher. Teams must develop a staff. Not a #1 then cross your fingers and pray. Loreauville May be on the verge of a 2-3 year run of titles. Give them credit and stop with the excuses. Obviously water under the bridge now, I admit I was bummed out by the way Winnfield laid an egg against Loreauville. Just thought I would give an update on that injury to our number 2 pitcher. Turns out he has a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder. Pretty serious. Must have happened before the Delcambre series. Very doubtful he will be back next year, may never pitch again. So yes another reason to be bummed out going into next year. We were really counting on having him back, he had a lot of good wins this year. Oh well, hope for the speedy recovery. Next man up. |

May be thinking of the wrong kid but isn’t he also your QB? Yes that's the one. Another reason I brought that up due the conversation we had on another thread regarding Tharpe. Kid is a talented athlete, hate to lose him but his football career is over.
Obviously had anyone known the injury was that severe, he would not have been pitching. Probably would have moved the infield around as well, considering he was at third.

I am sorry to hear that for the your school and the kid. Maybe can have surgery and heal up soon enough to play a different position.

I had heard surgery this summer, then six months recovery and physical therapy. Football is definitely out, but could be back as position player by baseball season. With the extent of the injury I think its very doubtful he will ever pitch again. Dr's can do amazing things these days though. Just have to wait and see. |
