But what are some of the other favorite teams we've covered? * It's June now, and we're finally post-graduation after a flurry of activity. We were all 18 once — even Chad.

UIL state track storylines, 3 softball teams who could win it all, late signings and more

* It's a crazy time of year, and we're always glad to see the UIL state track & field meet rolling out in Austin. Out of tons of kids competing, what Central Texas storylines are you most interested in? * We're deep into the UIL state softball playoffs, with 3 Centex teams still standing in the regional finals. Do you think there are good odds all 3 will win state? If not, who's most likely out of Midway, Bosqueville and Jonesboro? * We don't get too many football coaching changes in May, but Ty Robinson has left Crawford for Palestine, and the district quickly promoted Sam Moody to its HFC/AD role. For a program that traditionally has tons of stability, the Pirates now have 3 coaches in 3 seasons. Is Moody likely to be the guy for the long haul? * November and February tend to be our biggest signing months, but we've had a burst of activity lately with Bosqueville, Midway, Lorena and others. What would your advice be to these kids who are making decisions fairly late in the recruiting process? ------ * Music: https://www.purple-planet.com ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Centex baseball playoff talk, plus the toughest state titles: individual or team?

* This week, Central Texas produced yet another state golf champion in Lorena sophomore Chase Horn. So, we're wondering: Which is harder — winning state in an individual sport, or in one of the team sports? * With split-division playoffs in UIL for all sports, it's created some interesting matchups: a district champion isn't guaranteed to play a fourth seed, for example. And some lower-seeded teams are going to catch a break. Axtell, Bosqueville, Crawford and others have some matchups that are either easier or tougher than you might expect. Is that fair? * The sports calendar is turning to May now, with about a month left of high school athletics happening. What are you most looking forward to over the next few weeks? ------ Music: https://www.purple-planet.com ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
