A very good Dallas Tigers team defeated a very good DBAT 18 team at the Lone Star state tourney in Flower Mound to advance to the CM regional.

DBAT ended a great run that includes a 2006 MMWS championship and a multitude of fond memories. This team sends all 16 players to great college baseball programs, including 6 to Big 12 schools (Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, OU), 2 to the SEC (Arkansas), 4 to great D1 schools (Wofford, LA Lafayette, Northwestern, South Dakota State), 3 to top D1 JUCO (Navarro, Grayson, NCTC), and 1 to a great NAIA school (Northwoods). In addition, watch for Matt Thompson's near-term debut in pro baseball. This team won 150+ games over the past 4 years.

Special thanks from DBAT parents to Kirk, Curt, Ted, Darren, Cade, and Kyle. It's been fun!

Good luck to the local teams as they mix it up in Fort Worth next week. Go DBAT!

That 18U DBat team was a great group.

Our 18U Braves have been together for 3 years and are currently 87-10 in that span. In 2006 we went 20-2 and our only 2 losses were at the Mickey Mantle World Series to those guys (1 in pool play, 1 in the championship game). They beat us in the Championship Game of the Mickey Mantle World Series on a Walk-Off Grand Slam!

Congratulations to all of these guys for all of their accomplishments and good luck in college.

Congratulations to the boys of DBAT 18 on their outstanding high school and summer careers. I look forward to following your progress in college!

Go Tigers....Go Terriers!

PD,

That is a great send off....good luck to all the boys as they take the next step of their baseball journey.

Unfortunately, I will be doing the same this time next year.

Nicely stated PD, good luck to everyone in the fall and in the spring.

OMG......The world has stopped on it's axis!

JAFO, can you put this in layman terms. Seems you are taking a shot?

Looks like the "bait" has been taken . . .
BB

Me..... a shot......you gotta have skins on the wall for that type of rhetoric.

I just finished a 14-8-1 season. I have no room for shots. Just making an observation. If I remember correctly this happened once before. 17's move on and 18's don't.

But for the record.......I am surprised, no wait dumbfounded. How did the Tigers beat you?<-----Now that was a shot!

PD, you know you want to comment. Whats with the I'm bored with this smiley? Cat got your tongue? Depressed? Upset?

You have never been at a loss of words. especially when it pertains to Jafo!

Not trying to stir the pot or anything, but SmartSon's Texas Blackhawks team played both the DBAT 18 and the Tigers 17 (with at least one 18 joining them) and the Tigers were definately the better team...at least on this weekend.

Tychco.

Tychco Jr. and Maximo M ARE SO LUCKYYYY that they have not had to face the Mustangs-Randle 17U and that big ole 6'3"+ Beast throwing at them this summer. He wouldn't show mercy on his friends. LOL.

FYI, He pitched in Joplin this am, had a no-hitter going until the 5th. Mustangs over Austin Slam 10-1.

Good luck this week, I will try to come watch you guys since better half is in Joplin.

I'm with the DBAT 16 and 17 group.

Not trying to smart here either but the Blackhawks never move on. I believe DBAT 17 played both Blackhawks teams and it was not close, well at least on those weekends.

My dog is better than your dog .....

I like the team my son played with for several years. I like their achievements. I like the parents and the coaches. I didn't expect them to go undefeated this summer. This group has had success against the other organizations over the years. They have a pretty good track record against JAFO's group, right buddy? This year, they lost 2 games to a good team during their final weekend....and yes, there were other good teams there too. Five of the DBAT players were good enough to be invited to play this week, as guests.

My dog ain't better than anyone else's dog.....but it has been excellent for me.

Well put PD! Ain't that what it's all about anyway???!!!!

Don't let fear or common sense stop you from bringing your ragtag bunch for a whoopin'

Boys boys boys when it is over it is over. Take the good and throw away the bad and be proud of your respective kids and teams.

Wait i still wonder what if all the time and it has been a year ago for me
