You're right. I just dont want to come off like the big mean guy that is just being biased. I dont want people to think that of me or think I have anything against Dickess. And yes it does seem like they are a bunch of high school kids talking up their own team which they should not do because I'm s...

Your crazy if he throws in the upper 80's! The older Dragon team last year couldnt even tee off on him at first because he threw so slow! You obviously have never seen mid 80's. If Dickess is throwing high 80's please show me his full ride to Texas or Rice or something. Because if hes left handed th...

OVC 11, how do you really expect Alex to be able to get any playing time last year? Of course Dickess is going to pitch for the Pointers when he was young. How can Alex get to pitch when he had people like Burcham, Easterling, his older brother Tyler, Hatfield, Godby, and other pitchers in front of ...

I'm just stating the obvious. Dickess is a good player. You never heard me once say he sucked or anything. I'm just stating the truth and that is Thackston is an overall better pitcher then Dickess. I dont want to get started in this argument again. I honestly feel stupid defending Alex so much beca...

Good luck to you guys in Pointer country and if you truely are Dickess, I have no hard feelings. I was just giving my opinion. That's what these boards are for. Go out there and give it your all because it's gone before you know it. Good luck to all teams and yes I will be there to watch the Dragons...

Not at all. Grades were never the issue. Nor was heart and desire. If you played, you played. You didnt' have problems with grades and off the field issues. Baseball was, well at least with my teammates, the top priority when spring came around. Kids made sure their grades were up and stayed out of ...

I do not take that as an insult at all. I actually wanted to do that as a kid . But I have not heard much about grade issues in Dragon country. South Point seems to have boys with troubled grades. Do they have any this year?

I have watched these forums for years without a username and can tell when someone is on here bragging about themselves. You haven't said ONE thing that didnt include the name Dickess. Yes, I have talked about Thackston but I havent posted 10 times and posted all 10 about one person. If you wouldn't...

Squinks, I graduated a long time ago and my only son I have graduated also. I have a son and a daughter. So that would be an impossibility for him to be my son considering Pete has 4 kids. I am a decent friend of Pete's and have been around Alex for a while with little league baseball, football, and...

And sonny you are exactly right. I admire Pete Thackston and Al Begil with all I have. Pete has coached my boy before back in little league when I didn't know him. I will say that when I saw Pete yelling at his kids, it kind of questioned me and made me wonder if my son was being coached by the righ...

As I said, with all do respect, I do not believe that. Dickess can't reach any more then 75 or 76 if that. People tend to think thats the new "trend" now days. To lie about speed to make someone look better. Back in the day, it was never like that. Either you were good or you weren't. Alex...

I respect your opinion but I have seen both ball players. It's not like I'm being biased. I'm just being truthful. Alex DOES and WILL HAVE a better fastball, duece, change piece, etc. that Dickess could ever have. The real competition is between Thackston and Sparks. I really can't wait to see that....

Ok, whoever really thinks that Dickess throws in the 80's, your crazy. He hits 75 or 76 at the MOST. I have also heard word that Tyler's little brother, Alex hit the low 80's last year during the summer. I actually heard T-Bone was the one that clocked him. The kid was 15 years old hitting the 80's!...
