RE-PETE

Baseball seemed to be the quickest season for me. I was just starting to get into the season and now its over.  

But if the McAllen High-San Antonio Reagan series was only a one-game playoff, the season would have been extended by at least one week.

I am not sure how it went down when deciding the series length. I would think that the Bulldogs would have wanted a one-game shot. Usually the underdog would rather try their chances with just one game.

If it was just one game, the Bulldogs would be getting ready for Laredo United this week.

I know La Joya was going to play only one game against Reagan. United played only one against Sharyland and Austin Westlake, and we see where that got the Longhorns.

When not the favorite go with one is my philosphy. 

McHi had a good run. Last one standing in the Valley is something to hang your hat on.

All-Valley

I am turning my attention to picking the All-Valley team. I was just looking over a few names last week and its going to be tough choosing the MVP and Newcomer of the year.

My head hurt just thinking about it. There are a lot of good, legit players in the Valley.

Good Reading

His father was an avid reader of The Monitor and followed PSJA High religously.
