Javelina Hash By Fred Nuesch, Coordinator of Athletic External Affairs IT WASN’T A total shock when McMurry announced last week that it was going back to NCAA Division III and ending its bid for membership in NCAA Division II. There had been rumors for several weeks that there might be problems with the school continuing on its path to membership in Division II and in the Lone Star Conference for football and track and field. The announcement leaves some questions unanswered. The Javelinas have the War Hawks on their football schedule next fall and McMurry is scheduled to take part in the Lone Star Conference football race. With the War Hawks, the LSC would have eight members and this would make the brackets for the postseason conference playoffs easy to draw. This late in the game, you would think McMurry will fulfill its football contracts for next fall. The War Hawks are expected to compete in the LSC indoor and outdoor track and field championships this spring, as scheduled. Community Project THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT was released by LSC Members of the Javelina volleyball team collected money at the corner of King Street and commissioner Stan Wagnon in reference to McMurry’s 14th Street Saturday for the Keep Kingsville Beautiful program.

Following the 90-minute, 5-0 win against Beeville, Taff gains a measure of national attention as it is the second no-hit, no-run game that talented right-hander has turned in within a three week span, having also no-hit the Corpus Christi Pelicans on June 27. Over his brief six-year professional career, the Austin, Texas, native and son of Bickler public school prinicipal J.J.

  • Transition Baseball Faqs
    Transition Baseball FAQs 1. Who is eligible? All 12 and 13 year old players (as of April 30, 2010) are eligible for the program 2. Do I have to play Transition Baseball if I am 12 or 13? NO, 12 year olds may choose to play in a lower division and 13s may choose to play Juniors baseball 3. Is this league designed to be for more competitive players, like a travel team? NO , this league is simply designed to provide a larger field and introduction to the rules of Juniors baseball much like Majors has rule differences from AAA. The league is not meant to be a league for “select ” 12 and 13 year olds. 4. Can my son still try out for districts all stars if he plays transition league? Yes, 12 year olds will still be eligible for the 11-12 districts baseball and 13 year olds will be eligible for the 13-14 Juniors districts team. 5. What is the difference between Majors and Transition? The major differences are the size of the field and the rules of the game. In transition, players will be allowed to lead and steal while the pitcher has the ball and during the delivery of the pitch. Leagues below this level require base runners to stay on the base until the pitch has crossed the front of the plate. Transition also allows for headfirst slides and for batters to attempt to advance to first base on a dropped third strike. 6. What is the difference between Transition and Juniors? Field size and ages (12-13 for transition and 13-15 for juniors) are the only differences between these two leagues.
