February 24, 200521 yr Conant Cougars beat Elk Grove for the MSL Championship by 1 in OT. I wanna say that the final was 69-68 but i'm not sure. The Cougars are getting hot again. 3 out of 4 with that one loss being to St. Joes by 2 in a game they probably gave away. Watch out.

February 24, 200521 yr hahaha. I just realized that. Anyway, the Conant baseball team will probably be .500. I quit it.
February 24, 200521 yr Hey just gotta give a shout out for Immaculate Conception in Elmhurst, IL. I'm gonna be starting at catcher pitcher and centerfield this season as a junior. I just transferred here so I hope all goes well. I've put on alot of muscle since last season so I've hit the ball pretty hard. Look for us in the papers!
February 25, 200521 yr Author Official practices start Monday! Whooo! Starting 3rd baseman and a jacket w/ my name on it! Yeah!
March 2, 200521 yr Author Yesterday marked 1st official practices. We did LOTS of fielding practice. Anyone actually playing this year???
March 2, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) Yesterday marked 1st official practices. We did LOTS of fielding practice. Anyone actually playing this year??? I might be. I still don't even know if I want to try out. My school is big and political and I do not like the coaches. I can't wait for Summer and Fall League though.
March 2, 200521 yr Author Speaking of coaches, our varsity coach sucks. He makes us do a whole bunch of s*** we don't have to and that have nothing to do with baseball.
March 2, 200521 yr Guys, I know all the stupid conditioning does not seem like it has a place in baseball, but it does help. I would love to be in that shape again, you could play a doubleheader then play floor hockey and not be tired at all! now, if i run to first i am DONE. I hated it at the time, why are we doing all of these bleacher climbs, wall sits, and basketball agility drills. I think if my team took it all seriously, we would have won more than 16 games in my four years!

In the past ten years, my school had a .750 winning percentage combined in those years, but last year we were just barely above .500. It was mainly because nobody did anything in the offseason like lifting weights or conditioning, and it came back to bite us in the ass. The coaches learned their lesson and are beating us to death so far this year.

I was playing catch with my best friend, overthrew him and his lung collapsed and he had to go to the hospital! Do all the work, it will pay off eventually.
March 4, 200521 yr Author I agree with Heartattack....conditiong pays off. And when you don;t condition, you only cheat yourself. Sonce baseball condition/practices have started, I have lost 9, almost 10, pounds and am in the best shape ever. I am ALMOST rock solid. I love seeing myself this way and it truly hepls. I am more energetic, stronger, more endurant, and I feel better overall. It really feels good. Not to mention that my curveball is awesome!
March 4, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) Quick tip: Work your ass off and stay hydrated at ALL times. I never used to drink lots of water while playin, but last summer I caught for two teams and I learned the hard way to drink plenty of water. After every game until I brought a gallon of water with me, I would get a terrible headache after the game. Now I always have plenty of liquids with me.
March 5, 200521 yr Author Today was a hard practice...on the water issue, let's just put it this way...I have 2 full bottles of it in front of me.
March 5, 200521 yr Been going at 6:30 in the mornings and pitching for about 2 months. Getting ready to start real practices now.
March 11, 200521 yr Author So when id everyone's 1st game. We might have some scheduled for the end of March as exhibition games but the 1st official regular season games are in April.
March 12, 200521 yr Our opening day is the White Sox opening day. So that kind of sucks. Tryouts start Monday, and I tweaked my rotator cuff again last night, so that is no good. Also, our coach told us not to talk about our team on the internet, and that most people on online message boards are failures and we shouldn't be on them anyways.
March 12, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) Hahaha! Failures? What a dumby. Tell me about it. He is on a major power surge. I hope he doesn't post here.
March 12, 200521 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 16, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) We've been first or second in our conference for the last 14 or so years. I don't play, but I want to say we've probably been conf champes 9 times in that span. Never produced a minor leaguer, even, or any higher than 3rd at state. My high school has produced the likes of Todd Hundley Dun dun dunnnn Edited March 12, 200521 yr by joemg311
March 12, 200521 yr Got told yesterday that I am the number 1 starter on Varsity as of right now until our big 2 get ready. That makes me 3rd in the rotation on varsity as a sophomore.
