--- News Archive --- 16U-White, 18U-Blue, 18U-Red Playing This Weekend The 16U-White, 18U-Blue, and 18U-Red Teams will be playing this weekend in the Cyclones Classic at Elkins High School. The schedule for this tournament is expected to be released on Wednesday. All players on these teams should contact Coach Wood at (832)-886-1697 to report their availability for this weekend's tournament.
Is the rain getting in your way? The rain stops us from playing outside, but it also provides a great opportunity to get to the cages and work out some kinks. If you haven't had a lesson with your hitting coach or your specialty coach to talk about your goals for the summer and your plan, why not this week? Some players will sit around this week and wonder why they aren't getting better, some won't let a little water stand in their way. Players Report Your Availability ASAP (rev. 5/13/2007 11:55pm) All players should report their availability for tournaments and team activities as soon as possible. This year we will be using a new web based survey system for reporting player availability. Enter your information as best you know it at this time, and update it as your plans change. The Texans policies on player availability detail how this information is used. Please report your availability by taking the Player Availability Survey. Summer Baseball Getting Ready to Roll!

The fields are currently saturated and unplayable, and the weather is not predicted to improve enough to make play Sunday or Monday possible.
Our objective this weekend was to put the "baseball machine" in motion, as several players have not played for a few weeks following their spring school season.
