sixman schools playing baseball

[CoachBennett5]

How many sixman schools play baseball, I know of a few. Coolidge, Blum, Abbott, Iredell, Walnut Springs are there any others?

 

[Old Bearkat]

Maybe Garden City will start one.

i was an asst baseball coach at northside last year. we play with the local 1A district around here though.

 

[CoachBennett5]

We are the only sixman school in our district too. Last year was our first year in ten years and we took a beating from those 11-man schools.

 

[puha]

we went about 500.....we went against some great teams though. we got 3rd in district, and killed in playoffs by rawls. Seymour was in our district, and they made it to the tourn i think. they have a stud pitcher. hayden holub, same kid that took them to state game in football this year as QB

 

[Old Bearkat]

Is Seymour's mascot the Hiney?

 

[puha]

the hiney..... i dont know if thats a code name for panthers or not. they are the seymour panthers

Avalon is 6-man and they hold their own against the 11-man bunch. They have had a real good baseball program.

Seymour Hiney....the inventor of the miniskirt......

Bearkat, I think that your carbon dioxide level is too high, get some ventilation. You may have to get the name of the place Brittany was in to get right.

 

[CoachA]

I could have told you that when he suggested we start baseball at GC. There is a reason most sixman schools don't play baseball. You can only stretch so many kids so many ways. We are quite happy being somewhere between competitive and dominant in track, golf and tennis in the spring.

Thank you Bearkat, you brought a true LOL to an old disturbed coach. Thank you again.

You need to thank them for that. Baseball is a track killer in small schools

 

[LClionfan]

LC has one.

Knox City plays baseball and has been pretty descent at it in the past. Maybe Coach Steele can get them back to being competitive again.

When I was in school the kids all wanted to have a baseball team, but the AD wanted everyone to focus on track so we didn't get one. I bet if you polled high school kids 80% or better would want to play baseball rather than run track. But for some reason coach's just don't want their kids playing baseball (it seems to me). It is our National Pastime!!!

I know Hermleigh and Ira had baseball teams in the 90s, and maybe Westbrook, but don't know if they do now. I think Woodson had one too.

I think the problem is that it is rare in West Texas for even 1-A 11-man schools to have a baseball team, so if a 6-man school had one their district would be very far away in most cases I think.

follett plays baseball and has been successfull for many years i belive they were state runner up in 2001

Baseball is not only a track & field killer, but also a quick way to make athletes realize that standing around is easier than running. Throckmorton better get used to LOVING track as long as Reed is there......even golf may take a back burner.

 

[Knowmystuff]

You run the bases, you run to the ball when it is hit, there is running in baseball, usually all spriting. But there is down time were you are standing still. But you have more reaction type movement in baseball and there is considerable thinking involved where in track there is almost no brain activity required, just run.
