Not college ball but that absolutely sucks for the seniors on Grapevine. As much dirty stuff that goes on in high school athletics and this happens RIGHT before the playoffs are supposed to start is some [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ]. Wonder who the sore loser is that snitched?

If you look at their roster and notice two players with the same last name you would have absolutely zero sympathy and applaud the "snitch." This certain family is going on 4 decades of some of the shadiest BS I've ever seen in youth/amateur sports. The grandfather somehow escaped a sexual assault of a minor charge. The dad was part of a famous state championship team in the 90s where most of the roster suddenly moved from one city to the next, including two from my HS. The family went from running a very small small engine repair company to living in Southlake and managing a "warehouse operation."

I'm not saying the players are ineligible but their family is the epitome of win at all costs and trouble seems to follow them everywhere they go. Also, the grandfather owns a house in Southlake near the border of Grapevine and I believe that has been the father's primary residence for years.

I'm not saying...I'm just saying...

Update: texted a friend who's son played on the same travel team as the older brother. His son is in college. Brother playing for Grapevine is older than his son in college. The younger brother should be a Jr but is classified as a sophomore.

Also, Jorvorskie Lane, Jr is on the team and an Arkansas recruit. He went from OD Wyatt to Grapevine...hmmm.

5 kids who all played on the same travel team and didn't live in Grapevine and suddenly are going to GHS.

Again, zero sympathy.

ISD boundaries and city limits are not the same....ISDs were created in the 1920s, based on local option elections by property owners....In the case of Grapevine and Southlake, farmers might have been traditionally a part of one of those ISDs and stayed with them, then as the towns/cities began to grow, their property (not their school district's) was added to the city's incorporated jurisdiction....Don't know the specifics in this particular case, but it's possible that the family's mailing address was in Southlake, but the school district's territory overlapped that boundary....That's why parts of Fort Worth municipality territory is in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw, or Birdville, or H-E-B, or Keller or Crowley, or Everman, orNorthwest ISDs....Also, north Arlington's Veridian development is in H-E-B and parts of Hurst in Birdville ISD....Not defending any one in this particular case, but Tarrant County Tax appraisal notices carry identification of ISDs, so no property owner can believe that a plea of ignorance would stave off trouble....Grapevine ISD upper administration and campus administration alike should have been more attentive....And, yeah, someone snitched for sure for whatever reason....

I know, Sherlock. I work in the title business and deal with this stuff all the time. The Southlake property pays Carroll ISD taxes.

For whatever reason? It's not snitching. It's blatant cheating and heads need to roll. I hear the HC already "retired. "

Bingo. Three transfers came in this year. One from Bell (Torres) one from The Valley (Montes) and then Jr from OD Wyatt. Rumors abound as to a couple of those specific names and which ones may not be in the boundaries.

And like you said, that one family name continues to be tied into any of it. That goes back to his HS days in the mid 90s and the origins of his Bombers summer ball club being funded thru his dad’s connections to an ‘establishment of the finer dancing arts’. Most of us in the youth and HS baseball world are not surprised to see more smoke floating around.

And like you I have zero sympathy as I believe most knew that one player was never really in the district and was a full on recruiting move to win #3. So they gambled and it blew up in their face a bit.

Do we know each other? I played against the dad and all those kids that started the Bombers, Kerry Wood, most notably. At least 5 on the '95 Grand Prairie team living in Irving. Kerry from MacArthur, Lale from Irving and Jeff Ryan and Kevin Walker from Nimitz. I think there were 2 others but the names escape me. Our own Jeff Dover was on that same team but I'm pretty sure he was legit.

I joked with friends through text that it wouldn't surprise me if our old coach, long time Keller coach Rob Stramp, blew the whistle. Our program tanked when those guys transferred and Rob moved on...glad he found success in Keller as he was a good coach, teacher and all-around good guy.

Text from my dad: That family is incapable of playing by the rules. Why does everything they touch smell like [ Finebaum ]?

From a friend: Everything they touch smells like [ Finebaum ]

Another friend: Everything they touch turns to [ Finebaum ].

This family continues to get caught and never learns their lesson.

Hell, the dad even got popped for roids when he was in the Rangers organization and was suspended by USSSA for a year. Same [ Finebaum ]. Different day.

The new catching style has left HPUs vulnerable behind the plate. I saw a HS game where the coach was complaining about the umpire squeezing the pitcher. But the catcher was smallish and down on one knee 95% of the game. At that level, of course the umpire will feel a little skittish. So in this clip, maybe he still doesn't catch the foul tip while squatting but he definitely has a batter chance of getting a glove on it.

Damn it's 14u guys. It's not that serious. Cameraman scheissing sucks.

So according to the comments, the coach is a lieutenant with the Sheriff's office and was fired because of this.

Dumbass!

[ What the heck? ] is wrong with little league these days? How does the umpire just stand by and watch all that play out like that?
