Congratulations to the members of the 2017 All-KOGT Baseball Team. Once again it was a long season thanks to West Orange-Stark and Bridge City reaching the fourth round. Jack Dallas is our no-brainer MVP. Pitching and hitting, Dallas was at the top of both charts. We only hate that we won’t be able to broadcast his games next season. The same can be said for all of the seniors on our team. You’ve got to love the game to spend the time these guys spend on the field and on the bus in the springtime.
Ryan Ragsdale, our Offensive MVP, got better every year at third base, and at the plate. And when called upon he could give you a few quality innings on the mound. Our Defensive MVP, Schuyler Thibodaux, could’ve easily been our Offensive MVP with a .400 batting average in the leadoff spot. But his defense behind the plate with the slough of pitchers BC used this year, we had to honor his “D” for what we believe is the toughest position on the field. Definitely a preseason MVP pick next season.
Which is also why we choose Orangefield freshman catcher Kent Michael as our Newcomer. Kid kept a monster batting average all season while leading the Bobcat defense.
And we’re not a fan of ties but we couldn’t break the tie for our Coach of the Year. Sometimes it’s tough to live up to the preseason billing but not only did Shea Landry do that, he did it in style going undefeated in a tough district. Meantime Chad Landry, despite his many district titles, may have had his best season as a coach. He took a young team that stayed around .500 all season and had them one pitch away from playing for the Region title. Every playoff game someone from the other side would ask, “did these guys really finish third?”
