Well it's been a few weeks since I posted anything about the kids. Kade has been dominating with his pitching and has found his stroke at the plate. His team is 4-0 and leads their league Kade was the winning pitcher on 2 of those wins. Drew has continued to impress with his pitching as well and looks to have his brother's knack for a mean circle change. We did lose to Mt. Pleasant yesterday but still ended up winning the consolation bracket of a tournament. Macy is still tumbling with the best of them.

Kade has started playing summer league basketball with the high school now that he will be a freshman this next year (makes me feel old).

Enough for now.

Well we finally got to have a tournament this weekend because of the weather. Our little team went 5-0 to claim the 2007 Hughes Springs Early Bird Invitational. We won with games of 11-2 over Hughes Springs Longhorns, 18-6 vs. Hughes Springs Astros, 7-6 Hughes Springs Mustangs, 8-4 Daingerfield White Sox, & 7-1 Championship win over Hughes Springs Mustangs again.

Drew "Dr. K" Cox pitched all 6 of his allowed innings and only gave up 1 hit and struck out 15 of the batters that he faced. On the third game we were behind 6-0 after the first inning and Drew came in and shut them down to allow us to scratch out a win. His Daddy was smiling from ear to ear.

Kade finally got to start his regular season today against the Dekalb Bears the toughest team in the district. The Longhorns quickly gave up 4 runs all do to 8 errors in the first 2 innings. Score was 4-0 up until the 4th inning when we finally had a run scored. Kade came in to start the fourth inning and didn't allow a run in three innings. Although the first batter about took him yard deep center. That was all he gave them. So now everyone knows who the Cox Brothers are. Great weekend for ball here.

Here are some pictures of Drew's tourney.
