LIVE FROM SARASOTA: Dunedin vs. Brandon

Stay tuned to tampabay.com for live updates from tonight's FHSAA Class 5A state semifinal between   Dunedin and Brandon from Ed Smith Stadium here in Sarasota. Check in the comments section for updates. Times Hillsborough prep writer Eduardo A. Encina, Pinellas prep writer Bob Putnam and prep columnist John C. Cotey will provide updates in the section below.

UPDATE 5:38 p.m: It's a little warm here in Sarasota, but its a comfortable 70-some degrees here in the Ed Smith press box. We're in the second inning of the Class 2A semifinal between Fort Meade and Providence. Providence leads 6-0 in the bottom of the second, so would could see an early finish -- and an on-time start for tonight's game. (Eduardo A. Encina)

UPDATE 5:41 p.m.: Also, we know who will play the winner of tonight's Dunedin-Brandon game tomorrow night at 7. South Fork (27-5) advanced to the Class 5A state final with a 3-0 win over Niceville. South Fork lefthander Tyson Young pitched a complete-game one-hit shutout, striking out seven and walking two. South Fork catcher Ryan Breen was the only batter with multiple hits, hitting a triple and a single. (Eduardo A. Encina)

UPDATE 5:47 p.m.: More on South Fork for those interesting in pregame scouting -- We all know Brandon came into the game streaking, but the Bulldogs won their ninth straight game this afternoon. They've won 14 of their last 15. Brandon pitching assistant Ernie Johns and several of the Brandon pitchers arrived early to scout that game. (Eduardo A. Encina)

UPDATE 6:17 p.m.: One of the cool things about the state baseball finals in Florida is the access that competing teams get to major league spring training facilities. While the 2A game continues, both teams are taking batting practice in the Ed Smith fourplex beyond rightcenter field, which will be used by the Reds for one more season before they bolt for Arizona. Dunedin is practicing on the Tony Perez Field and Brandon taking its swings on the Frank Robinson Field. (Eduardo A. Encina)

UPDATE 7:07 p.m.: Tonight's starting lineups straight off the presses (Brandon is the home team).:
Dunedin
1. LHP Max Krueter
2. 2B Casey Turgeon
3. SS Jake Rogers
4. 3B Jamison Sweat

UPDATE 7:52: We just finished the National Anthem, and both teams are posing for photos.We should start on time. And in more important news, Cotey is here. Let the Blogopolooza begin. (Eduardo A. Encina)

Comments

[Brad Hamilton]

Mr. Encina-what has been the single greatest key to Brandon's success? I'll hangup and listen

[Mr.Angotti]

Brandon's success has been on the pitching because you already know Brandon is going to swing the bat well

[Tim Booth]

As a parent from a rival school, the single biggest improvement for this Dunedin team over the last several years, is that they have FINALLY learned how to be patient and hit the off speed pitch.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

I'd have to agree with Mr. Angotti. Ernie Johns, Brandon's new pitching coach, has done a remarkable job of turning a talented young staff of arms into quality pitchers.

[Cotey]

I don't wanna say this is a big game, but I just opened my laptop and people around me claim they heard angels signing.

[Cotey]

Oh, and while Encina and Putnam update in the main blog area, I'm going to be in comments with the people. Because I am one with the people. Because you are my people. Oh, and Max Kreuter steps in. First pitch, swing and a miss.

[Cotey]

First two batters walk. Dunedin's Jake Rogers steps in and takes a ball.

[Cotey]

Austin Browder having much trouble finding the zone. But he goes 3-2 on Rogers and gets him swinging.

[Mr.Angotti]

For Brandon to be successful they have to get through the 1stinng with no trouble. Austin Browder just has to live low and he will be fine

[Eduardo A. Encina]

OK, we'll come out from out perverbial blogging cover and join Cotey. After walking the first two, big full count swinging strikeout by Browder.

[Cotey]

Runners move up to 2nd and 3rd on a WP, but Browder goes 3-2 on Jamison Sweat and whiffs him. Two outs.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Strikeout in the dirt and a 2-3 to first. Two outs. Runners at second and third after a wild pitch

[Cotey]

Browder goes 3-2 on Clay Kollenbaum, who proceeds to ground out to SS.

who won the 2A game?

[Cotey]

Very nice job by Browder, who went three balls to every hitter but manages to escape unscathed. Sophomore threw 29 pitches in the inning.

[Cotey]

North Florida Christian and Providence won the 2A games.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Nice job by Browder to get out of the jam, stranding two in scoring position. That's something that the sophomore lefthander's been working on. He realizes he doesn't have to make the perfect pitch. But he had to throw some extras. He threw 29, and went full to four of the five batters.

[Mr.Angotti]

Hey Cotey so there is one out and a man on 1st and 2nd

Not a great way to start throwing so many pitches, I'm sure he'll settle down. Do they have some good relief pitchers or a solid closer?

[jk]

you have to hit refresh

[Cotey]

It's 340 down the lines, 375 to the gaps and 400 to dead center. Anyone have a guess as to how many, if any, homers are hit? I'm going with ZERO.

[Cotey]

2-0 Brandon

what?

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Ramsay up after Arce was hit by a pitch. He's been the ignitor of many Brandon rallies. And Ramsay just gave the Eagles a 2-0 lead on a single to center that got skipped Mike Kumbat and to the wall clearing the bases.

[Cotey]

First batter was hit, second batter (Eric Arce) lined one to center, poorly played out there and it rolled to fence, allowing Arce to come all the way around and score easily. 2-0.

Jake Rogers just booted one at short, runner now on first. No outs.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Smith reaches on an E6. Errors on back-to-back batters.

Roderick Shoulders is the biggest sophomore I've ever seen. He just hit into a 6-4-3 double play though.

ugh oooo, sounds like Dunedin is a little shaky

[Cotey]

4-6-3, I meant

[Eduardo A. Encina]

After the DP, Chris Bradford walks.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Kumbat's error was costly. According to our stat sheets, that was Kumbat's first error of the season. As a team, the Falcons committed 38 errors on the season, roughly 1.1 a game.

[Cotey]

So, here's a pressbox debate. Help me:

First runner reaches on HBP.
Second batter singles to center, ball rolls by Kumbat, allowing both runners to score. I'm saying both those runs are unearned because they both scored as a result of the error.

The official scorer here says no, only one is unearned run, since the first baserunner would have scored anyway on the following two outs had their not been an error.

You make the call.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Haynes strikes out to end the inning.

[Tim]

Both unearned

[Cotey]

had THERE not been an errors. Man, I ate way too many sugar cookies at dinner.

[Luigie]

So Sweat does't like his team -- so he transfered -- sounds like the Yankees -- no wonder Dunedin is there !!!

any veggies with those cookies

[Cotey]

Well, the official ruling is one run is earned. Makes no sense to me. You can't assume the runner would have come around.
But anyway:

Ryan Schneider walks. Cam Fisher singles. Wild pitch moves both up a base with no outs. Dunedin has something cooking again.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Jeech, Cotey and is sugar cookies. Runners at first and second for Dunedin after Browder walks Schneider and Cam Fisher singles to left.

[Cotey]

Walk to Max Priest. Bases loaded.

juiced Cotey bases are juiced

[Cotey]

Kumbat is up. He can atone for his error right here, and he does a little, driving in a run with a sac fly to right.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

A walk to Priest, and Mr Browder is officially in a jam. Check that, runners advance on Kumbat's sac fly to right. 2-1 Brandon runners at second and thirs and one out.

[Cotey]

1st and 3rd (Fisher took third on the fly to right). One out. Kreuter up.

[Cotey]

Kreuter slams a 3-run homer, and it's 4-2 Dunedin.

[Cotey]

Kreuter's fourth homer was a shot. You knew it was gone right away, nice liner and quick to get out of here.

Turgeon is plunked with a pitch, and Browder gets a visit to the mound by his coach.

[Tim]

Dunedin will hit one more before the nights out

[Cotey]

Rogers settles in. Browder is all over the place.

[Cotey]

Tim, well done.

Rogers just went deep. 6-2.

Gimme your lottery numbers, dude!

[Tim]

Atta boy Jake!

[Cotey]

Jamison Sweat strikes out for the second out here in the top of the second.

[Cotey]

Clay Kollenbaum lines out to CF. It's 6-2, and now, to bring you the bottom of the 2nd inning, Mr. Eduardo A. Encina.

[Bob Putnam]

Two keys so far for the Falcons. They've been patient at the plate, drawing four walks. And they have an advatage playing some home games at Knology, a minor-league park. They're already used to playing in stadiums this big with these dimensions.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

After that six-run inning, Brandon faces an early uphill climb unlike any this postseason. The Eagles have never trailed this early in a game. And they've hadn't allowed six runs in an inning. They allowed five against Winter Haven in the region final opener.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Dewey grounds out to second and Bennett flies out to right. Two quick outs in the second for Kreuter.

[Facts]

If the runner gets on with a hit or on base with out and error and then scores with less than 2 outs, the run is earned.

[Cotey]

According to my research, never before in the history of state baseball has a team had back-to-back hitters named Spencer in their lineup like Brandon does.

Granted, my research consists of thinking back to the state tournament's I've attended and involving only the teams I've covered, soooooooo....

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Derek Dungan's a tough No. 9 hitter, and he drew a walk to keep the inning alive.

[Tim]

The Falcons are gelling at the right time and they are oozing with confidence, not overconfidence as Falcon teams in the past

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Arce laced a 0-2 delivery to right for a single, giving the Eagles runners at first and second.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Bases loaded with Mike Smith up...cue the music.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

3-2 to smith, bases loaded two down, fouled to right out of reach

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Ball four high. Arce steps home. 6-3

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Shoulders pops up to short....inning over three left on.

[Cotey]

I'm back. Heading into top of the third, it's 6-3, Kreuter works out of a bases loaded fix.

[Cotey]

Browder walked Schneider to lead off the inning. He's up to 64 pitches. Enjoy him while you can.

[Cotey]

Cam Fisher strikes out. Alex Libby, running for Schneider, is on first.

And then he's not. He just got picked off. Two outs.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

As Cotey astutely pointed out, Browder has thrown a lot of pitches, and Matt Stallbaumer's approach will be to play for today. All five other pitchers will be available, so with Browder's pitch count getting up there, how long is his leash?

[Cotey]

Priest strikes out looking. Nothing for Dunedin, and we head to the bottom of three. Oh, Eeeeeeeeeedddddd. Your turn.

If Stallbaumer is like Clearwaters coach the kid will finish the night

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Brandon opens the top of the third with a first-pitch single to left by Chris Bradford. This bottom of the lineup doesn't mash like the top, but they can get the job done.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Spencer Dewey took the 1-1 pitch to left and flew out.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Correction that was Spencer Haynes flying out to left. Dewey just flew out to center.

[Cotey]

Looks like Fisher has moved to center, and Kumbat is in left.

pretty sure fisher was in center the whole time

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Matt Bennett walks to bring up Dungan with runners at first and second

[Cotey]

Jake Rogers with a great, over-the-shoulder catch. Willie Mays-esque.

[Cotey]

Kumbat flies out to center to start the 4th. Kreuter strikes out.

Here comes Rogers.

[Cotey]

Kumbat flies out to center to start the 4th. Kreuter strikes out.

Here comes Casey Turgeon, I meant. Sheesh.

[John]

Dunedin down by 2. Does Sweat have enogh time to transfer to Brandon?

[Cotey]

Turgeon strikes out swinging. That was Browder's best inning, he looked really sharp and now has seven strikeouts.

Cotey, lay off the cookies

John, lay off your keyboard

[Cotey]

There are so chewy and delicious though!

what is the score?

6-3 dun

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Arce struck out to lead off the fourth. Big out for Kreuter, who hadn't been able to keep the sophomore off the bases yet.

6-3 Dun Dun

thanks 9:07

[John]

Did Sweat transfer yet? He wants to play HS baseball another year. Maybe than he will get a college offer!

[enovak]

so as a former dunedin catcher, actually the last to play in the state finals...yes i started on the 32-0 dunedin team that lost to ridgewood....whats the score and inning?

[Eduardo A. Encina]

I have to admit. The cookies are good. Ramsay walks on five pitches.

[Bob Putnam]

Lineup sheet in the press box had it wrong. Mike Kumbat is in leftfield, Cammeron Fisher is in center. It's been that way all game.

[Tim]

Wow, now you start talking about their transfers, when they've done it for years?

bottom 4

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Mike Smith just hit a strike to straight-away center. Woulda been out at Don Powell. Here it's a warning-track F8.

[enovak]

is the game on any kind of radio station in st pete?

Can the jealous haters leave the blog so we can enjoy the game? Geesh.

[enovak]

well let me tell you something, my 2002 team didnt have any transfers

Why isn't Catch 47 carrying this game????

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Kreuter gets Rock Shoulders looking. He's 0-for-3 on the night. Back to you, Cotey.

[Cotey]

I'm back.
So is Jake Rogers.

[John]

Sweat still playing for Dunedin? Maybe he should transfer to South Fork, they are in the finals!

[enovak]

my thoughts exactly, stupid tape delay im sure, who wants to watch the game 5 days after we already know who won....

[Cotey]

Rogers walks.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Brandon pen is active.

[Bob Putnam]

Jamison Sweat is going to Barry.

[Cotey]

Sweat pops up to shallow center.

Kollenbaum steps in, looking for his first hit.

Seriously. Please. John and whoever...go find "I'm a sore loser" chat room and let us enjoy....vent there where other people like you will understand.

transfers let me see. 1 from northside christian, 2 from phuhs, 2 from p-park.
but u were 32-1. still impressive. But Ronny Lowe was better.

[John]

Sweat filling out transfer request, while pen is warming up. He wants a title at any cost

[Cotey]

Good bye

[Cotey]

Kollenbaum goes yard on a 3-2 pitch. No. 6 on the year. Guy has been on fire. It's 8-3, and Browder heads to the showers.

[enovak]

score update please!

Good bye as in homerun?

[john]

"Jamison Sweat is going to Barry".As a walk on!!!!!! He has to prove to them he is a team player.

[Cotey]

Senior Dan Trnka is coming in.

The Falcons now have three home runs and a sizable lead. No jinxing.

Go Dunedin!!!!

[John]

Sweat transfers to Florida State!!

John needs to get a life...surely you have something better to write about...obviously you don't know Jamison, he is not only a great player, but a nice kid

come on rogers

[Cotey]

Ryan Schneider flies out deep to RF in foul territory. Two outs here in the top of 5. Dunedin winning 8-3.

john u seriously need to shut up u have no clue what your talking about.

[CT]

what is the inning

Go Dundun
bring state home to pinellas

[Cotey]

Fisher whiffs to end the fifth. We head into the bottom of the frame, and Fast Eddie Encina takes over.

5th

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Austin Browder won some big games for the Eagles, but tonight wasn't his night. He allowed eight runs -- including three homers -- on just four hits over 4 1/3 innings. Six walks were huge. He struck out seven.

you can't blame anyone for leaving phuhs - stuck up kids and stuck up parents - and they're garbage

GOOOOO DUNEDINNN!

[Dave]

Geez John, This obsession you have for Sweat is starting to get a bit embarrassing

[enovak]

if i know anything from actually playing at dunedin, hilbert will pull his pitcher too early and the relief pitcher will get shelled....happend every year i played....hilbert cost us 4 state championships

saying sweat is a nice kid might be a stretch though

8-3

5th

[john]

You know that I understand the Sweat situation, thats what worries you.Great talent that was not recruited by any college becuase he transferred as a senior. Period. With his skill he should be a Major D1 player.This should serve as a lesson to others.

3 homeruns for dunedin

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Bradford struck out to open the fifth and Haynes popped out to first. Dewey singles.

eric turgeon did the same thing and hes at uconn but nice try john

[Cotey]

South Fork (27-5) beat Niceville today 3-o, so they will meet the winner of this game tommorow at 7 p.m. Just saying.

Turgeon had connections

[john]

For the record Dunedin will win the State!!

[enovak]

one thing i learned from being at dunedin was that talent means nothing...i had enough talent to go D1 and it all comes down to how much your coach throws your name out there. i was unfortunate to not get any offers because i was behind 1st rounders..its all about how the head coach gets you out there, hilbert is a what can you do for me kinda guy

how about cheering for our team instead of arguing about who transfers get over it it's done with go dunedin you guys are doing a great job bring this one home.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

One more note on Browder. The six walks marked a season high. He walked five twice.

[Eduardo A. Encina]

Kreuter struck out Bennett looking to end the inning. He's rolling now.

[Cotey]

Attendance: 735. That's kind of weak for two nearby teams. I think there were more people at the Dunedin-CCC and Dunedin-Seminole games (being slightly sarcastic, but just a smidgen).

way to go max

[Cotey]

Max Priest steps in to lead off the top of 6th.

[enovak]

i love my old school, but i dont want hilbert to win anything, hes gotten too far as is.....shouldnt even be in the state championship

[Cotey]

He walks

[john]

Character could also play into a D1 offer. They don't too many scholarships to give out. The coaches might not take a chance on a player leaving in the middle of the season.

[Cotey]

The remarkably talented and handsome Mike Kumbat steps in. (Yeah, okay, so we're trying to make up for misidentifying him earlier).

We got your point enovak...please let us enjoy the current game. Please?

[Tim]

R U sure this time Cotey?

just for a thought.....NYY 2- RAYS 1 top 9.

[Cotey]

Kumbat strikes out looking. Here comes Max Kreuter, the hero of the game so far.

[Cotey]

Kreuter singles to left. Runners of 1st and 2nd for Casey Turgeon, the fab frosh who is 0-1 but has reached twice.

[Don Juan]

Sweat is in no way a nice kid. I know from first hand knowledge he got into it and lost with every single player on our team both in the spring and in American Legion. Whenever there was an argument I can assure you that not a single player jumped to the back of Jamison, perhaps with the occasional exception of Ben Sweat when he was still playing ball. If the fact that he never had the backing of any of his teammates speaks to his character at all, then you all will have learned a bit about Mr. Sweat. And as for the poster who commented on his transfer, not only was that a problem, but also his character. Jamison's poor attitude and the fact that much of the time he is simply uncoachable is a deterrant regardless of what his raw skill set may be. As Yogi Berra said, 90% of the game is half mental; Jamison Sweat does not have the mindset of a winner, he is instead only driven by carnal instinct.

There would be more dunedin fans but its in sarasota and its at 8 clock and there were charging the buses 35dollars to get to the game thats 45dollars for a high school state-semi final game

the rays need some of the falcons hitting

idk if kumbat is actually handsome or no but dunedin is full of some massive, goofy lookin kids
kollenbaum and rogers are 2 of the ugliest kids iv ever seen on a baseball field
but theyre huge and can stroke

[Don Juan]

And for the record, I also have inside knowledge he and Mr. Jake Rogers got into it and once again, nobody was there for him. It is truly a shame that such a talent went to such a waste of a person.

[Cotey]

Turgeon singles to right, and the bases are loaded...errrr, juiced for Jake Rogers.

Rogers has a homer already, and has scored twice.

[Cotey]

Ball high. (It's 8-3, top of 6)

[Cotey]

Ball 2 high.
Foul for strike 1.

[Tim]

Good call Cotey

[Cotey]

Ball 3 in dirt. 3-1, bases cranked.

lol at dude rating the players looks

[Cotey]

Full count. Strike looking.

[Cotey]

Ball four. 9-3 Dunedin. Rogers gets an easy RBI.

[Joey Z]

I pitch for PHUHS and all I know is Jamo and Diaz got into it and that was when he wanted to leave because he was afraid of Diaz.

[Lester]

Quit whining novak - if you were good enough you would have made it. Nothing more pathetic then someone who thinks the system screwed them because they aren't man enough to admit they weren't good enough. As far as you guys went, plenty of scouts were watching. Get over it, you are really embarrassing yourself.

[falconfever]

What inning is it?

[Cotey]

Jamison Sweat is coming up, with the bases loaded, to face a new pitcher, Chase Sparkman.

A homer makes it a 10-run game. I'm just throwing that out there.

Seminole should be there!

[richard ander]

i use false names like joey z on blogs and other names

no one is afraid of diaz lol

seminole didn't win....nothing else to say

[Cotey]

Top of 6, 9-3

how will the district play out next year for 5a-9
i know that dunedin is losing a ton of people and all theyll have pretty much is turgeon and norris
ct is in the same predicament w/ a bunch of seniors leaving
i think phu and east lake will be pretty loaded although phu's pitching is lacking a lot
i think east lake will take home districts next year

[Cotey]

Sweat in an 0-2 hole.

Thanks.

and we have our first el fan appearance of the night

[Don Juan]

Joey told me to write one as him. Sweat was real afraid of Diaz. He downright left the field before a game against DUNEDIN when Diaz was yelling at him.

[phu blows]

diaz can go s a d

[Cotey]

Sweat makes it 10-3 with a sac fly to CF. Runners move up to 2nd and 3rd on a throwing error. Kollenbaum strolls to the plate.

[Brad Hamilton]

Mr. Encina, I thought you said Brandon was good?

He does stroll doesn't he

Go to MySpace boys...we want to enjoy the game.

Is this about baseball..the game or is this about personal issues

[Don Juan]

What's your name PHU blows? If nobody is afraid of Diaz I'm sure you wouldn't mind him knowing who had that to say...

lol at phu kids talking smack, they can only do that in their rooms on their computers that their parents got them or maybe on their new iphone lol

[Cotey]

Kollenbaum grounds out.

Heading into bottom of 6, it's 10-3 Dunedin.

I'm off to find a column. Bobby Putnam, who is warming up with the pen, is getting the ball the rest of the way.

[Don Juan]

I compel you to deny the validity of my 9:33 post.

[someone]

all north county is soft shut up and watch the game or whatever u wanna call this

lol at phu kid asking for real name but wont give his

actually i think clearwater will be decent next year w/ a core group of juniors comin up
o brien, ortega, griffith, eastman, gilman, mccormick, and gourlay should form a pretty good offense next year
their pitching will be very suspect tho w/ the likely 1-2 being o brien and ortega both of whom hav a combined 4 games of pitching experiene in hs

[Don Juan]

And once again, if you want me to get off the computer all I need is a name and a destination. I'll bring Diaz for laughs.

[Don Juan]

It was given a while ago. Richard Anderson.

actually 9 44
you forgot one great player 4 ct
Brad James is an animal he just couldnt play this year because he couldnt run his 6 30 mile in time
next year hell tear up pinellas w/ his phenomenal offense and defense

sounds like its a phu football player haha worshipping his qb...is there anyhting less scary than a phu football player?

10-3

[Don Juan]

Come on now champ, this is baseball we're talking about... And about that name?

[Bob Putnam]

Ramsey walks. Mike Smith up in bottom of sixth with two outs.

As long as coach vince is at ct you guys will be nothin'

and the game??

[Dave]

Hey Richard, I sit next to you in Spanish class,You're a real dork

hahahaha

wow u guys need to shut it cause dunedin's bellamy is gonna lead the falcons to states past you district scrubs

this is baseball, get outta here jv dunedin fb player

[Bob Putnam]

Smith strikes out. Still 10-3, top of seventh. Brandon now on fourth pitcher.

Bob- don't let the "little boys" stop you from giving us a play by play....there are a lot of people enjoying the game....we are counting on you...

[mar]

you guys sound like a bunch of girls

[CT]

bellamy is nasty i will admit that
in that 53-0 blowoiut last year he was ridiculous

[CT]

brad james is the self proclaimed best sophomore in the county he told us so himself

we are trying to get baseball updates here. wait til after the game to pump up ur varsity heroes please

[Bob Putnam]

Kreuter has thrown 103 pitches going into seventh. Rogers is warming up in the pen.

[Don Juan]

I don't have spanish class, thanks for the effort though. I'd rather have a steady defensive lardass than an errant throwing showboat with a poor attitude. And as for Dhani, he's Indian and South American, thanks for continuing to play to the stereotype of American ignorance. It is people like you why the greatest nation in the world has a bad light shone upon it. How does it feel to be an embaressment to 300 million people?

Thanks Putnam, Coty and Encina....these baseball updates are nice for us people who couldn't get down there!!!

[Pinellasfamily]

WOW

Yeh guys we appreciate the updates

well then its kinda elitist for you to say we're the greatest country in the world now isnt it?

9:50 YOUR CRAZY
WHO DID YOU LOOSE TO LAST YEAR?
HOW MANY DID YOU LOOSE?

too bad bellamy has under a 2.0 so he might not play next season

Yes, thank you to those talking baseball and helping the rest of us keep up on the game. Can't the chatters go somewhere else to talk??? This is the place to learn about the DHS game. Please!!!

The youth of today are really getting scary.

[Don Juan]

It is my belief we continue to set the standard for excellence.

wow...you are all a bunch of girls...let's just stick to the game

thanks for the updates

[Bob Putnam]

Still 10-3, but the Falcons have bases loaded with no outs.

Rays lost.

Yes, they sure are losing a lot of talent

[wellswood]

why don't all ya'll people that aren't reporters shut the hell up and let them report the game. this is getting stupid

score PLEASE...UPDATE....PLEASE
Remember we are here for the game

a lot of Juniors transferring out

[Bob Putnam]

Make that 11-3. Kumbat hits sacrifice fly to bring in run.

u serious the falcons won 10-3 its over

which style do you prefer on hilbert? the helmet or hat

did Brandon Lose??

hat on hilbert
helmets look goofy

he looks like Bob the builder

hahahaha

I don't think you know what you are talking regarding Bellamy He will be ready and suited up for the fall...watch and see

lol

WOW....kids should be seen NOT HEARD.....go to bed
