QUOTE(JD64 @ Mar 6 2007 - 10:39 AM) 826401972[/snapback]Enough of this talk about the history of freakin Milan baseball and Coach Joyner's BIO...
Crockett County has a new Coach with a passion for the game, and they will give anyone in this district a "hand full." They return a load of talent from last year. Massey has signed with Bethel, and has a good chance to hit .400-.500. Dyersburg will also be good. I see these two teams being 1 and 2 this year.
Dyer County swept Crockett yesterday @ DCHS & again today @ Crockett. Kyle Hinson threw well yesterday. Today @ Crockett it was a Homerun Derby, but DCHS won that battle as well. Chad Gammons started & B.A Davis closed the door in the last four innings. Crockett took 3 to the yard in the first three innings, for DC Shea Thomas hit 2 out, Chase Pilkenton 1 to the yard, "Biscuit" Bevis launched one to the battin' cage in left and Evan Wilkerson took one out. Drew Thurmon 's been "hotter than a Two Dollar Pistol"@ the plate also. Scores :15-8 today @ Crockett & 8-4 yesterday @DCHS. As for the "wreck" vs Covington, that's a fact, BUT the bats have come alive and the defense has gottten "saltier" since. Also Huntington didn't fare very well against DC over the weekend, DC took that one 10-5.
DC is a young team to be sure, but they are scrappy & well coached. If the bats keep rattlin' and they "D-UP" to their potential they'll be fine. Somebody mentioned a "sleeper" or a "dark horse" this team might be the one ! The young kids they have are no slouches ! I ain't givin' away too much on pitchin' , but somebody already mentioned Derick Simms & Kyle Hinson. Both of them have turned in pretty strong performances already this year and I think both will only improve as the season progresses. There shouldn't be a shortage of arms for the Choctaws, but I'll keep the rest of 'em under my "DC BALLCAP" for now! Just hide & watch!

The Choctaws came to PLAY ! Dyer County players,coaches, parents & fans may have been the only ones that beleived that they could do it twice in the same day, but those kids have HEART ! I'll give credit to the Trojans for being a very talented ball club, BUT....... Dyer County has NO QUIT in them ! Coach Ozment has done a GREAT job with a relatively young ball club this year & yesterday's "Back 2 Back" was a combination of great coaching & a ball team that was on a mission. The whole team held themselves accountable for their own destiny. Congratulations D C ! What a way to finish the District Tourney, ending Milan's season on Tuesday & "Back 2 Back" wins over a very talented Dyersburg team.
Dyer County you should be proud having BOTH teams advancing to Regional play ! Congratulations Coach Ozment on a job well done with only 4 seniors on your ball club & congratulations to the Dyer County Choctaws DISTRICT 13AA CHAMPIONS !!! To each & every one of you WELL DONE !
