Awesome! Congrats to Commerce comet.
Congrats Commerce!!
Thank y'all so much brothers! We are celebrating! Proud of our kids and coaches! They worked their butts off! We made history tonight! First state championship for west jones!
Congrats my man
Congrats Commerce! I know your son will never forget this!
Congratulations CC!
Congrats!
Hope you noticed the Williams kid from Lafayette. He’s the real deal as a 9th grader.
Congrats, Commerce! Special times!
Congrats Commerce! There is nothing quite like watching a group of high school kids come together and make a title run - especially at a school that isn't known for titles. It's special.
Congrats, it must be great to have a championship for all that hard work.
Congratulations. You and your son will always remember!
Good Job! Congrats! A state championship is a special memory for a kid.
That's awesome. Congrats CC. I know your son has to be pretty jacked up!!!
Congrats man! Now MSU needs to win the Natty! :)
Thank y'all so much! I'm so humbled by your wonderful comments! Thank you! We are so proud of our kids and coaches. We have an old school head coach in Trey Sutton who coaches very hard. If you can't take harsh criticism you can't play for him. He came to West 3 years ago and there were a few who couldn't take his hard style of coaching, and left the program. My son loves him even when Trey chews his behind. He's turned these kids and this program into hard chargers who just grind and grind and grind. They are mentally tough and These kids are relentless!
We went up against some of the best arms in the state this year and beat em. We were 6 and 1 against 6A(we split with Brandon). In the playoffs we scored 65 runs and gave up 10 in 8 games.
I'm so proud of my kid. Y'all indulge me for minute if you don't mind cause these kind of things don't happen every day. He caught all but 2 innings this year. He's beat up, had to have his left thumb and wrist taped up to keep it immobile for the last 8 games, his ankle is so swollen you can't tell where his calf begins and he took a foul tip of his right thumb in game 1 and its twice it's normal size, and his whole body is bruised and battered,yet he found a way to elevate his play for the playoff run. He went 11 for 23 with 2 doubles, 2 hrs, 11 rbi and 4 walks. He drove in 2 runs in Game 1 and singled to lead off the 5th last night that started our 4 run rally. He threw out the only runner that attempted to steal in the playoffs. He's leading the country(catchers) in total chances, putouts, third in assists and is in the top 8 throwing out runners, only 2 errors in over 350 chances and 2 passed balls this year.
I appreciate y'all so much for the good thoughts and wishes! Thank y'all! It's what makes this the BEST board bar none!
Now, I hope to watch our Dawgs go get a Natty, this would complete a dream baseball season for me!
HAILSTATE!
Yes I did. Their best hitter by far, he can swing it. Needs to work on the glove a little but just a freshman playing a very demanding position, he's got a bright future. Plays hard too which I always look for and enjoy seeing.Quote:

Catching is such a fun part of the game, and it takes a certain mentality to do it and do it well. It takes a toll on your body. Hope he gets a week or two to heal up before summer ball starts!
Heck yea, you can brag! Those stats are not bragging, they are facts. Great job by your son. Hope he continues to improve and we see him in the Dude one day.
So proud for you and your son CC, you talk all you want about him and his team, love to read about it.
No doubt about Trey. I played with him a west. He coaches liked he played, like a man possessed! He keeps the kids fired up for sure. It’s incredible to me some of the numbers these kids put up this year. Including your son. He’s one tuff dude. I know every one on this side of the county is fired up this morning. Congrats again buddyQuote:

He's fiery and intense and I think that's why him and Trey bonded immediately. Trey started him at catcher as a freshman during his first year as West's head coach. He loves Trey even when he's getting reamed. We love Trey and what he's done here at West. Such a special feeling for them to make history!Quote:

People don't realize how hard it is behind the dish, but when you find a guy who can perform back there the sky's the limit.
Congrats CC! I couldn’t get to Trustmark until today. MS has some damn good talent here today! Hate I missed yours.
Thanks Hack! He threw out Dannis Jackson earlier this year and it was on a breaking ball. That was the only caught stealing for dannis all year.Quote:
