    Parkers Chapel wins Arkansas AA Title

    Have to give a little props to my high school:

    http://www.pbcommercial.com/articles...ts/sports1.txt


    also, this school is about 50 miles from ruston. it wouldnt hurt to take a look at some of these kids, especially atwell.


    Also, the team they played, Woodlawn, is not too far away in Pine Bluff.


    Other South Arkansas teams that played for a state championship:


    Nashville: http://www.nashvillenews.org/index.php/comments/4489/

    Texarkana: http://www.texarkanagazette.com/news...3/sports12.php

    Atwell may be good, I don't know. But generally, Arkansas is not considered a very strong high school baseball state. That's one of the reasons we don't get many guys from there.

    arkansas doesnt put out a ton of recruits in baseball, football, or basketball because of population, especially in south arkansas. there are good players in all 3 sports, but they are fewer and farther between because of numbers, which also leads to less competition and exposure.


    we are the closest 1-A teams to a lot of these schools (unless you count ulm or ualr?). it would be worth our while to at least do some homework on these kids.

    after the 04 season, i sent a newspaper article that listed the 2004 all arkansas baseball team to coach sim. i highlighted the few players who were from south arkansas and noted that we are one of the closest d-1 schools to most of these kids. anyway, coincidence or not, two of those players ended up at tech:

    Atwell is a pretty darn good pitcher. Choudrant beat Parker's Chapel for one of their two losses, but Atwell only pitched two innings. He was throwing 88-89 on his fastball with a pretty good breaking ball. The number two pitcher (starting SS?) also had good velocity (87-88). This team had only one senior, so they will be even stronger next year.

    i looked in the eldorado phone book and found randy and leah atwell on chapel dr. that is right around the corner from my parents, so that is probably them. there was only one other atwell listed.

    their coach, mark looney was hired right after i graduated in 96. he had a similar background to coach sim, he was a very, very successfull summer league coach. they also won the state title in 2002. they will be very strong next year but then, after reclassification, they will move up to 3A for 2008-2010. They passed Smackover and Junction City to become the largest school in Union County (besides El Dorado), and that was after Smackover took in Mt. Holly. We were class B in the 90s, they just added football in the last couple of years.

    Speaking of Moseley, does anyone know why he didn't pitch Sunday? He has been our most consistent starter all year. Is he hurt?

    Thanks. I was hoping that it might be Randy's son. Randy was a friend of mine many years ago when we were both at Tech. I'll have to call up there to check in on things.
