Horns Upset Long Beach in NCAA Baseball; Football Camps Start Soon

No. 3 seed Texas (35-24) upset No. 2 seed Long Beach State (35-22), 11-2,
Friday in the first round of the NCAA baseball regional at Stanford.
The Longhorns will play in the winner's bracket finals of the
double-elimination tournament at 5 p.m. Saturday, probably against
top-seeded
Stanford, which was playing No. 4 seed Marist in the second game Friday.
Gerrit Simpson tossed his sixth complete game to lead the Longhorns to
victory. He struck out 12 and allowed nine hits.
Texas scored twice in the fourth and picked up five more runs in the fifth
to
take a 7-0 lead and coast to the win. Jeff Ontiveros had a two-run homer
for
Texas and Sam Anderson had three hits, three runs batted in and two runs
scored.
If the Horns win their 5 p.m. game Saturday, they will need only one more
v
ictory to win the sub-regional. But, if they lose, they will have to play
again Saturday night in an elimination game to try to get another shot at
the
undefeated team Sunday. The team that emerges from the loser's bracket
would
have to beat the winner's bracket champion twice Sunday to advance.

The Longhorns start their summer football camps a week from Saturday, and
some of the top players in the state and in the nation plan to attend.
DT Lyle Sendlein of Scottsdale, Arizona, and FB-LB Brandon Hancock of
Clovis
West, Cal., head the out-of-state prospects who plan to come to the UT
camps.
Sendlein told me he probably will commit to Texas after the June 3 camp,
and
Hancock says he is very interested in Texas, but probably won't commit to
anyone prior to the football season.
Sendlein is the top prospect in Arizona and Hancock is one of the top
recruits in California after dazzling everyone at a Nike camp in his home
state. He checked in at 6-1, 242, then ran a 4.49 40, had a vertical leap
of
39 inches and bench pressed 185 pounds 43 times. Hancock said he will come
to
the UT camp that starts on June 10.
Top Texas players who plan to come to one of the UT camps include QBs Paul

Thompson of Leander and Jamie Beeghley of Midland Christian, WR-TE David
Thomas of Wollforth Frenship, OLs Jeff Lebby of Andrews and Tony Ugoh of
Spring Westfield, DEs Travis Leitko of The Woodlands and Nick Owino of
Alief
Elsik, DT Earl Anderson of San Marcos, LBs Marvin Byrdsong of Longview,
Garnett Smith of Arlington Lamar and Andy Matakis of Corpus Christi Flour

Bluff, CB Donald Burgs of Houston Madison and RB-Athlete Paul Mosley of
Austin Anderson.
The state's top RB, Albert Hardy of Galena Park, says he hasn't decided
whether to attend a summer camp, but don't be too surprised if he shows up

for one of the UT mini-camps.
Texas still has just one commitment ? fine OL Bret Valdez of Brownwood ?
but
the Longhorns will pick up several more in June. That's when the Texas
coaches always jump start their recruiting and pick up eight or 10
pledges.

An internet site calling itself Collegefootballnews.com has picked Texas
to
go 11-0 during the regular season and beat Nebraska in the Big 12
Championship Game.
I liked that part of it, but then it picked Oklahoma to have the best
defensive line and Texas to have the best linebackers in the Big 12. Texas

will have a better defensive line than Oklahoma, and I know OU and several

other Big 12 teams have better linebackers than Texas, so that doesn't do
a
lot for the site's credibility.
The Texas coaches are proud of their defensive line and secondary, but
they
worry a lot about their linebackers.
The site also rated UT No. 1 at quarterback, wide receiver, offensive line

and defensive secondary in the Big 12.
