Way to go Mavericks!! 10-0 with a great pitching effort by Nick Price and great hitting all the way around. The Mavs are hott!!! and what a time to be that way! Congratulations to all the Mavs and the coaching staff.

First off, I am in no way taking away from Catholic's win. Catholic played a better game and won. It goes down in the books as a District Championship. Also, I do not blame the players for the vehicles being written on, that would have had to of been a fan. The players and coaches cannot be held responsible for what fans do, but the Catholic name can. Once again, a little trash talk is going to happen, but it should be where fans cannot hear or see. All sports will have this and it is just part of it. My opinion of Catholic has not always been negative, but after the last few outings and seeing the way they handle themselves, I do not believe I will be inclined to change that opinon. On another note (and this is an observation from listening to others talk) Catholic is held to a much higher standard because of the jersey and ideals that you represent. I guess that is one reason it upsets me so when I see actions like Wednesday. Anyways, the game is over. We both have games to play tonight more important than the District Championship....I believe we have run this topic in the ground and hopefully if AC and Catholic meet again, both teams will meet the other's standard for sportsmanship and class.

First off starting at a home run ball, and high stepping into home plate are totally different. Second, for a kid that doesn't hit a lot of homeruns...I'd like to watch it too, as would any. Had a Catholic player done that I wouldn't have said one word...but I guess we should point the finger at ourselves when we went out to our cars and had obscene language written on them... Give me a break. And by the way I said a lot of trash talk goes on during games... that is just part of it. But the things that the Irish did were over the line.

Glad to hear an Irish fan doesn't support the actions last night. Hopefully the team will learn from it...

First I want to say that Catholic played a great baseball game and deserved to win that one. There were no game changing bad calls, Catholic just did what it took to win. However, what I am very upset about is the way that the Catholic players and fans acted during the game and after. There were several instances of players taunting AC players, in particular one right in front of the umpire and high stepping into home plate by a Catholic player. Also back flips after the game??? I mean come on have some class....I understand that the team is excited and a little bit of trash talk is going to happen in sports, but such blatant disregard for sportsmanship and respect is ridiculous. Had AC won, I guarantee the four coaches at AC would not have let their boys act that way. You could see it in the game, when AC was up you didn't see Jordan Rorex come in high stepping at the plate after his homerun, no, what did he do? ... give his teammates a high five and head back to the dug out. . Just the way we play at AC...with respect to the game and our opponents. You'd think Catholic would have some pride about the jerseys that they wear and what they represent. Just remember Maverick fans...we've been there and done the whole district thing...we've got our eyes on a bigger prize and I guarantee you Coach Downs, Coach Russell, Coach Wade and Coach Boynton will have the boys ready for the region and on... So, if we see you again Catholic (doubtful) I hope that we will see a team that represents your school with a little more class.
