chief,

 

MJ looked ok... I think it was the first maybe second day of live pitching..... We had a few good hits but you can tell no one is seeing the ball.   Pitching was good.... again as you eluded to above Creekwood is not a good indicator.

 

The pitching and defense will be fine, in order to do some real damage they need to hit and produce runs rather than score off the other teams mistakes.  Eventually that does not work.

 

I have been watching some  college ball so my impressions might be a little harsh.

So far we (Portland) have had two scrimmages with Springfield and Barren County Ky. The varsity won 10-3 against Springfield and 3-1 over Barren County. We are a young team, only starters coming back are out first baseman, second baseman, inf/pit, and our catcher and center fielder. The remaining are either first year senior starters or Freshman/Sophomores or our one lone jr. So far we have been well pleased with their efforts and attitudes. We have 2 signing on the 14th with Cumberland, our catcher, and our firstbase/pitcher. Looking forward to the season. Good luck to everyone!

Good opening win for Hville last night as they defeat Clarksville NE 4-1. Mullins and Nichol combined on a 4 hitter. Big blow on offense was a 2 run double by Fuller in a 4 run 4th. Pitching and defense have looked good so far, offense is a work in progress. District play opens tonight at WC at 6 pm.

So far, it has been a good start for us. Won 5-2 over Watertown, and last night defeated Hume Fogg 10-0 in 7. We are a young, young team. Last night (after our Sr 2nd baseman hurt his shoulder on a dive) we had a Freshman 2nd baseman, Soph 3rd, Soph SS. Looking forward to a great season if we can stay healthy. Our future is bright with our Freshman and Sophomores, but they are being baptized by fire right now. Hope everyone can stay healthy. Should be an interesting weekend playing in Clarksville in a wood bat tourney.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
