Their second season in high school proved to be a good one for David. He made first team all-district and lead the Hudson Hornets to an undefeated district record. Wes was less fortunate, missing most of the season due to a knee injury. He returned at the end of the season just in time for the play-offs. The Hornets made a deep push yet again but were stopped by Lorena in the Area finals again.
The next year, their junior year, would be one for the history books as far as Hudson was concerned. Wes was fully healthy and more dominant than ever. David was coming into his own as a top notch prospect for major league and college teams. Wes and David would win District Co-MVP, sharing the honor. The team would go undefeated in district play and make it deep into the playoffs. In the state semi-finals, the Hornets ran into powerhouse La Grange. The La Grange squad sported phenom pitcher Homer Bailey. Strangely, Bailey didn't pitch in the first two games, which the teams split. The Hornets didn't throw David and saved him to face Bailey. With the series tied 1-1 and a trip to the state championship on the line, David faced off against Homer.
