On this Wednesday edition of From The Press Box on The Write Team Podcast we’re coming to you from deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas with a packed show full of local sports insight and meaningful conversation. David Weaver and Matt Paul are joined by special guest Tristan Lundy, who shares his journey into launching a recruiting service aimed at helping overlooked East Texas athletes gain exposure and navigate the recruiting process. From social media strategy to building athlete profiles, Tristan offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the game has changed—and how today’s athletes can get seen. We also dive into the latest around East Texas high school baseball and softball, highlighting key matchups, standout players, and the intense competition shaping district races. From Harleton vs. Elysian Fields to the ever-changing 5A standings, there’s no shortage of excitement on the diamond. Plus, we discuss what truly makes East Texas sports special—the people, the atmosphere, and the deep-rooted community pride that turns every ballgame into something more than just a game. We wrap things up with a look ahead to The Masters, MLB updates, college sports storylines, and a powerful final word reflecting on carrying the meaning of Easter beyond just one Sunday. 👉 It’s another episode full of sports, stories, and perspective—right here from East Texas.
