I think that I( heard on TV that McHi's baseball team is rated #1 in the state. If my ears aren't decieving me I think that is great. If ever there were ever a sport that we ought to do well in, it is baseball.

Years ago the valley was a state powerhouse in baseball and it is sure nice to see one of our teams doing well. If I am not mistaken, Sharyland and one of the Brownsville schools are doing well too.

Maybe one of my grandkids will play baseball at one of the local schools and be a star!! :-)

Coach Pompa has always done great things with the teams he has coached. This team might even be ranked in the nation. Hopefully they keep on winning!!

2 Sharyland Grads are playing in the bigs.

impressive

I really don't care which team from the valley wins because it would be great to get respect.

Never thought I'd see our baseball team (or any team really) ranked #1 in the state. Nice.

Coach Pompa is Mission High class of 1969! He was really fast in this days.
