Houston 5A Baseball's Player Of The Week #7 4/6
Pitcher:
When your offense is struggling and from week to week facing real good pitching, it’s nice to know that you will still be in the game if not winning the game when the 7th rolls around. The Cy-Falls Golden Eagles fit that description so far thru the district 16-5A season. One of the main reasons they have been in, or winning these games is the unbelievable performances of their two aces on the mound. Last week, Clint Everts captured POTW honors with his fantastic pitching. This week he was nearly outdone in that performance, when Scott Kazmir faced a very worthy 16-5A opponent in Langham Creek.

Scott dominated the Lobos allowing only a 1 hit in the 1st inning of the game and striking out 19 Langham Creek batters to convert the 1-0 lead into a Golden Eagles win. We have not witnessed such dominating pitching in Houston area High School Baseball since Josh Becket was dominating his opponents for Spring High School. Scott is just what the doctor ordered for a struggling offense as his magnificent pitching is allowing time for his offense to get on track.

Position:
He’s been quietly going about his business this season pitching well and playing solid outfield defense for his Kingwood Mustangs. You just knew it was a matter of time before he busted out and proved his worthiness as one of H5AB’s top 02 talents. Lance Pendleton quite possibly had the best week of the season for a hitter at the plate this year.
Lance was 8-for-11 with, 2 singles, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home runs, 6 RBI and hitting at a .727 clip with 2 stolen bases over the week. What is most impressive is the big game performance he broke out with vs archrival Humble. Although his Mustangs were not victorious in Saturday’s big game, Pendleton still had a big game performance in what has become one of the most anticipated HS Baseball match ups of the season. Lance hit 2 HR’s, drove in 2 and scored 2 along with pitching his team to a 3-3 tie thru 6 with 10 K’s.

Congratulations to Coach McDonald, Scot Kazmir and the Entire Cy-Falls Baseball Program.

Congratulations to Coach Denny, Lance Pendleton and the entire Kingwood Mustangs Baseball Program.
