New year, new thread.
Oldest is now a 6'2" 215# HS sophomore. Still growing and sitting 82-83 on the bump and touching 85. He got contacts this fall and has been raking since so we'll see how the HS season goes.
He'll be on JV because the guys who play 1B and 3B are seniors who are juco commits (Panola and Wharton JC) that 10 years ago would have D1 offers out of HS. And there are 7 arms in front of him on the bump who sit anywhere between 88 and 94. Oh, and his HS team will still probably finish 3rd in their district behind the defending 6A-DII state champs and 6A-DI state-finalists.
Committed to play this summer for Wildcatters- he played with Banditos this past summer and it wasn't a great situation. They had him on the Scout team that finished the summer nationally ranked but he really didn't get to play much because every tournament they went to they were flying in kids. Then they made a stink about him playing football in the fall. So he played with Twelve in the fall and we liked it but because of their partnership with The Bennett School (look it up) they can hardly find a HS who will rent them fields for practice and we'd have to go from the Atascocita area down to Manvel & Alvin CC for practice. Plus, his coach from Twelve joined Wildcatters so we followed him.
Coming into the home stretch with him. He's busting his ass working to play after HS so hopefully he can get there.
Younger son is now a 5'4" 105# 11-year old playing 11U and his team is trying to jump from AAA to major after a strong fall. We'll see how it goes.
