Houston County Baseball

[Guest irishdawg187]

Houston County should have a good chance of going back to the regionals again this year.They only had two graduating seniors last year and they have alot of experience and talent returning this year.They still have a stong pitching staff and didnt lose any power hitters.So i think they have a great chance of goin back to regionals and bustin a few heads along the way.

i think you are totally right irishdawg. the irish were tough last year and ARE goin to be tough this year also.

the irish only lost 2 seniors last year but they are gettin a whole lot back this year. houston county will be the team to beat in 2003 i think.

Houston County should be strong favorites to be repeats to go back to Regionals...just losing a SS and a 1st baseman...which is the heart of the defense....the role has the chance of being filled equally if not beter...by returning Sophomore Jonathan Bell who could make the translation from 2nd to SS also possible for Wesley Nolen in filling that role when he isnt on the mound....but Houston Co...is young yet experienced....and only lose their 2 and 5 hole hitters which look to be replaced by Jon Bell and Corey Hooper who have both improved their hitting strokes over the winter w/ hard work in the cages...Hooper also progressing in the pitching area where he now has been taught to fondle w/ the grips and picks up nasty movement which normally results into a ground out of some sort and is expected to be the No. 2 pitcher in rotation....but all looks well w/ all the position players returning to play, and it should up hold an exciting spring for Houston Co.
