Couple of things: Sinton got a ton of money from the wind farms - that is what was used for the athletic facility upgrades. Fairgrounds - more to think about then just the field - cleaning and preparing the restrooms, cleaning and preparing the concession stands, stocking the concession stands, does the scoreboard work, does the sound work, what condition are the seats in, etc, etc,..that place hasnt been used in over a year. There was money in the Calallen bond issue for the baseball field - I will have to ask about that - but per Title IX any upgrades to baseball have to be done to softball - after all the hard work the baseball BC put into the field this season, the district is going to have to spend money on softball now - there is case law that controls this. Pool is dead; practice facility is still alive and there is an announcment that has been pending for 2 months for something else - need to find out the status on that I heard the wind farms revenues paid for a some of their upgrades, but most of it went to the football stadium turf. It's a shame the Fairgrounds field has gone to crap. Other than the fact it shouldn't have been built because Whatburger was already in the planning process, but now it's "ours." The county should have sought bids to sell or lease it long term to company who could do something with it and the land around it. Something like Baseball USA in Houston would be fantastic out there and used year around. It would make a heck of alot more $$$ for the area vs it just waiting for another fly by night team to fill the void. Keep us posted on the improvements here in Catville..... I hope we can do something big for the baseball program and if we have to do it for Softball, so be it. Maybe that will give that program a boost and increase the participation in youth softball around this area which lacks big time IMO thanks to the Little Miss Kickball league.

Let's just hope Moody doesn't want a 1-gamer. If Corky wins the flip for a 1-gamer, it should be on the condition the game is played at Calallen. Corky would never agree to a one gamer, and neither would Chapman... plan on a series. That's not what Corky told my brother-in-law.

Moody has most certainly improved through the season. Even more than you normally expect. They don't have the pitching depth that Cal does nor the hitting top to bottom of the batting order but they are good at using what they have. They are strong on their fundamentals, baseball savvy and have good speed. They have regained their swagger and maybe to the point that it can be taken advantage of.

Will both schools academic year be ended by next weekend? If so, I think the Texas League may agree to letting them use Whataburger, provided the games end early enough. If both Cal and Moody are not in class, then something like an 11 AM start could be done. Games would be over by 2:00, leaving plenty of time for the Hooks. Would hurt attendance. Be hard for lots of fans to make weekday games.

TitleIX only come into play if the school district funds the upgrades, I don't believe it applies if the booster club pays for the upgrades. Again, over the last ten years almost all the upgrades have been done by the BC. The only thing I can recall being done by the district was the press box and hand rails only because they became safety issues. Truly sad.. If I remember correctly CCISD tried to make the same argument 10 years or so back and lost in the courts - as I said - case law suggests that to improve one field (no matter how its done or who does it) requires that the other field be improved also

It would be a change from what he's always said about one game vs. series... Corky has always said he wants a series.... with that being said, he's always had the stronger team usually... now, vs Cal he doesn't and probably should want a one gamer... just look at SV if they had...

If the SV series had of been 1 game, then I can guarantee you Chap would have pulled Arevalo before the 7th. Would have also been a lot more aggressive with the base running. Arevalo pitched 2 dam good games for Cal, but Chap would have threw every arm he had to keep SV off home plate in the 7th.
