@DustinLMcComas I thought Esquivel reclassified to 2027? Article says he's a junior and 2028?

@brndnism @JasonWashburn @DMNGregRiddle @SportsDayHS @ArgyleISD @dctf @ihss_dfw @HSwfaa @247Sports @Rivals @usatodayhss @uiltexas then why did he get ruled ineligible? Honest question I don't know why

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@McClain_on_NFL Case needs to come home and raise his young family in Abilene and be the next head coach at his alma mater Abilene Wylie. Win a high school state championship as a player and as a head coach. A dream leader for a high school program - Abilene needs him back for a little while :)

@Matt_Stepp817 @MikeSanchez2 So was this player originally going to go to argyle but the prosper QB beat him to it ? 🤯

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@karlravechespn You’re the best Karl, but one correction on today’s broadcast. Cooper Thissen could not have caught after he was removed from the mound. Once he crossed that 40 pitch threshold no catching for him the rest of the game/day.

@johnmedrano22 @AllKindsWeather Iowa's LL season started in April. Thissen had plenty of time to get in his 8 LL required regular season games in before Team USA tryouts in June. You have to give him credit for staying with this LL team too- most kids who make team USA leave their LL all star team for that opp

@mikejohnson_2 Awesome game by Thissen. But just 5 years ago let’s not forget about Gavin Weir’s summer of 2021. His performance in the LLWS that summer should not be forgotten. Weir’s first round game vs Lafayette, LA. 5 2/3 IP 15 k’s zero hits.

@BrianNilson003 @NatalieWoody @Maren_Angus And its one thing to play within vague rules by entering into a travel tourney with an AS group compared to falsifying docs to gain eligibility into LL. I wouldn't expect Williamsport to treat the two things the same.

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @BrianNilson003 @Maren_Angus This article reads as if it's also meant for the districts/leagues that do LL coach pitch, machine pitch, 8u/9u AS teams and play others leagues in district and state tournaments, like the state of Louisiana does. LL has no official ties to those age divisions come tourney time

@NatalieWoody @BrianNilson003 @Maren_Angus International Tournament vs Special Games.

@NatalieWoody @BrianNilson003 @Maren_Angus This reads to me like a regular season or even All star district tournament form. Our city has 5 different LL's. We play interleague games among each other as preseason games. End of the season there is a city tournament that fits the special games description.

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @BrianNilson003 @Maren_Angus Guess it's not required because we didn't fill this out. Again, LL ultimately has zero say if a group of all star players/parents want to get together and play outside of the LL to gain extra reps leading up to a tourney. It is just wise to let your admin know though.

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @BrianNilson003 @Maren_Angus I think the special requirement stuff would be when a league’s all star team played representing their league against another LL or non LL team. LL travel teams are not representing their league. They have different team name, insurance, account fees would be pulled from, etc

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@BrianNilson003 @NatalieWoody @Maren_Angus Are you asking if a LL all star team got permission to play in a travel tournament (the tournament could be a Perfect Games 12u 50/70 open base tournament for example) if that LL all star team would have to follow LL rules during that travel tournament?

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @JohnMaloneHS @Maren_Angus @OhioTate That’s fair. LL could do a lot better for sure. It’s a great organization to be apart of. Most people think LL starts in August when espn picks it up. But truly ran LLs start in February and their 50 12 year olds that didn’t make all stars are just as important as the 12 that do

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @Maren_Angus Now maybe Eastbank Pearland Lamar and Bridge City submitted something and got permission to play each other in exhibition games in early June. I can see why they’d need to do that while follow LL rules/guidelines for games.

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @Maren_Angus I don’t think there is application you fill out and submit that i know of. Just a quick phone call to your district admin giving them a heads up was all that was needed for us to play outside of LL. LL needs to clean that up in the rules moving forward for sure.

[Travis Street @SAXETU]

@NatalieWoody @Maren_Angus In 2023 Boerne found a way to mix travel and LL getting the travel ball players in the league following all rules and LL tournament guidelines. First year - Williamsport. 3rd year - Williamsport. Tulsa could go all in with LL too and make Williamsport with the talent there.
