Spring break starts next week, can anyone post local spring break baseball tourneys?  This is always a week to look forward to for seeing some great high school ball.

Hey, does anyone know if Pagmeter is ok?  Nothing posted regarding spring sports and we're midway through March.  Just wanted to make sure he was ok.

Spring tourneys are just around the corner.  I got ahold of the 37th Tulare/Visalia PRO-PT Invitational.  If you have other tournament schedules, post them here for all to see.

I hear the entire staff at TUHS stepped down after last season.  I have an idea why but does anyone have any scoop?  I'm sure the fact they have to play at a public park has been a factor to their dwindling numbers the last 5 years.  I've got a few friends in that area and there's plenty of rumors, but I'd rather hear something concrete if someone is in the know.  Really sad to see what's happened to that program, baseball power back in the 80's and 90's.

Word on the street is the state of California is forcing cancellation of high school games where more than 250 spectators will gather.  I just heard the Tulare Western vs. Tulare Union game for 3/27 being held at the Rawhide Stadium has been cancelled.  This whole thing is getting stupid.  You're going to ruin kid's last high school year (seniors) by not allowing them to play in an outdoor environment?  If this goes through, I can see multiple lawsuits all over the place.

Anyone have any more scoop?  I know there was some stuff on Pagmeter yesterday that was causing a panic in Tulare County.  Exeter is listed as not going to play any contacts outside of Tulare County.  Being careful is good, being extreme is causing the hysteria. 

Ok rant complete.

I've heard there's a new website teams are supposed to be using this year for stats and schedules.  Does anyone know what that might be?  Just curious.

Scores?

3/11
SJM 4, Clovis West 2
Bullard 2, Clovis 1
Buchanan 14, Tulare Western 2
Madera 6, Tulare Union 1
Central 6, Edison 1
Mt. Whitney 6, Sunnyside 1
Clovis East 5, Hanford 1
Clovis North 8, Redwood 1

Am I missing any?  Just found scores on Maxpreps.  Not sure if I missed any.

Does anyone have dates of this tourney yet?  If the schedule is final, can somebody post a link?

Does anyone have the schedule for finals?  Or a link to post?  All I have confirmed is D2 final 8:00 Friday and D1 final 8:00 Saturday.

Top 4 still alive in this bracket, who do you have?

#4 Porterville @ #1 SJM  (SJM 9-2)
#3 Fresno @ #2 Sanger  (Sanger 6-3)

Definitely see a rematch in the final for Sanger and SJM, should be worth the price of admission.

Who do you have?

#8 Bakersfield @ #1 SJM  (SJM 13-2)
#5 Arroyo Grande @ #4 Porterville  (Porterville 5-3)
#11 Tulare Union @ #3 Fresno  (Fresno 6-2)
#7 El Diamante @ #2 Sanger  (Sanger 4-3)

I wouldn't be surprised to see upsets outside of the Bako/SJM game.  AG@Port and El D@Sang could be tight games, edge going to the home team.  Tulare Union upset Madera Tuesday, were up 7-1 in the 5th before finishing at 7-5.

Who do you have? Predicted scores?

Byes:  #1 SJM,#2 Sanger,#3 Fresno,#4 Porterville

#9 Hanford @ #8 Bakersfield
#10 Mt. Whitney @ #7 El Diamante
#11 Tulare Union @ #6 Madera
#12 Tehachapi @ #5 Arroyo Grande

I'm curious about league standings heading into the final week.  Tough to get accurate reports of standings through the papers or even Maxpreps.  Only one I know for sure is EYL.

EYL as of 4/26:
Porterville 10-3
Tulare Western 10-3
Tulare Union 8-5
Monache 7-6
Delano 2-11
Mission Oak 2-11

Final series next week:
Porterville and Monache (2)
Tulare Western and Tulare Union (2)
Delano and Mission Oak (2)

Anybody have access to posting the spring tournament schedules?  Fresno, Visalia, Bakersfield, etc.

Hey does anyone have the schedule to this tourney?  I know it starts Feb. 12th and it grew with the close of the Central tourney.  I'd be interested to see who all is involved.

Any word on who's applied for the Mission Oak baseball job?

Does anyone know of any good basketball skills camps coming up? Maybe jr. high/high school aged kids?

This used to be a pretty hot topic on here a few years back.  Thoughts on Friday night's game?
