What a weekend for the Houston Hard Knocks 7U and 9U teams! Both squads headed to Louisiana for the Bayou World Series, and they didn’t just show up—they made a statement.

Both teams went undefeated in pool play, taking care of business and showing exactly why Hard Knocks baseball is something special. The energy, teamwork, and effort were on full display from the very first pitch.

The 7U crew was locked in all weekend. These young athletes played beyond their years. Every game they played was full of hustle and heart, and they earned their spot at the top of the pool.

Meanwhile, the 9U boys were just as impressive. They hit, they pitched, they played smart baseball—and they played as a unit. You could feel the chemistry on the field, and it showed in every inning.

Once bracket play started, both teams kept that momentum rolling, fighting their way through tough matchups and landing in their respective championship games. Unfortunately, both teams came up just short in the finals—but not without a fight.

Bringing home 2nd place in a tournament as competitive as the Bayou World Series is no small feat. The coaches, parents, and fans couldn’t be prouder of how both teams represented the Hard Knocks name.

This weekend was a big one. It wasn’t just about wins—it was about growth, grit, and showing up for each other. These boys played with heart, and that’s what we’ll remember the most.

Let’s keep building. Let’s keep grinding.
