LufkinPack Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Great season boys! I’ll tell ya. When we’re playing error free and smart baseball we are state champion material. You won’t find a better baseball team. We tend to get sloppy at times defensively and unfortunately that’s what done us in. That was a tough one. Probably the toughest one to swallow in the Cobb era. Time will tell. Proud of the boys and good luck to all of the seniors moving forward. I wish nothing but the best for those guys. ------ of an effort in 2024.

PackAttack Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 FYI - Frisco Lone Star defeated Forney last night 2-0 at Dallas Baptist University Field. The game did not start until 10 PM because of weather in the area. Game #2 will be played Thursday at 8 PM, a 3rd game if needed will be played on Saturday. The fact is, Forney can't hit and if not for a couple unfortunate errors by the Panthers on Saturday, Lufkin would have been playing in Tyler last night.

PackAttack Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 Lone Star is no where as good as Lufkin. Forney lead Lone Star 9-0 in bottom of 5th. Lone Star pitching tonight is all over the place. Sure makes one appreciate the three great pitcher Lufkin had this year in Hillis, Lindsey and Knight. We may not a combo like that for several seasons to come.

PackAttack Posted June 5 Author Report Share Posted June 5 Guess most here had figured out that Lucas Lovejoy swept Forney out of the playoffs 2-0, winning 8-5 and 6-2. Spring Hill still playing in the Semi Finals. Lufkin beat them in a warmup game 10-4 going into the playoffs. Really pulling for 1A Chester to bring a title home. It would be great for that little town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lufkin would have beaten Lovejoy. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Forney 3-0 in the 6th of the deciding game. Lufkin had been stellar defensively all playoffs, just 2 miscue's late made the difference. We were better than Forney, no excuses just didn't hold on to the lead. That's baseball. Still a great year for Lufkin, and I'm really glad Forney got swept. They can put those broom's where the sun don't shine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
