    Add Will Carter and Matt Harmon to the Jr. Toppers Actually I am pretty sure Kevin Connell played for the Select for a year before the Toppers and Seabolt played for the Jr. Toppers the last year they played. Hayden Chandley also played for the Toppers a few tournaments. Ganger did play for the Toppers. That would be a good game but I would put my money on the Jr. Toppers in that one but it would draw a lot of local money and interest. Maybe we can put that together to start the summer. Come on Big Bill CArter. Make this happen.

    I was thinking South with a win could move up to 3 which would be worth trying to avoid Boone who they had to take to extra innings last night. Science Hill will win because they will be focused on winning a share of the conference and being the #1 seed. I don't think it will matter because I don't think any of the bottom seeds can beat Norris on the mound Saturday. But if Science Hill overlooks South it could be an upset. They don't hit many homeruns as I think Tom TAylor said on the radio yesterday that they only have 11 as a team for the season. But they do hit it well and run good. They don't have a dominant pitcher but do a good job of pitching. They pitched a freshman and Burrows yesterday so I don't know who they will pitch tonight. He has about 8 that have pitched on the team. As usual, Saturday should be interesting with everyone's ace on the mound at DB. No one can complain about the field this year costing them a game (DB).

    Does South have a chance against Science Hill to upset the standings and the brackets for Saturday?
  4. Paper says Kevin Connell at Daniel Boone has 15

    Have Have to also say that was the best game Chandley has caught. Where did that base stealing speed come from. the old Jr Toppers are really making the conference interesting this year. Would love to see a reunion game.

    Great game last night between science hill and boone. All the drama of a great high school baseball game. Dino made a top ten catch in the first inning. Good pitching. Homeruns. Comeback. Drama til last pitch Some questions edwards not leaving Craig but he had to be over 100 pitches and seemed to be tiring. I don't understand why he pitched to Connell. According to some of the boone fans he has 8 homeruns in a week and now 2 grandslams. I would have walked him. And someone else would have had to beat me. I also thought that was his best pitching performance I have seen from Kevin . Good control of curve and slider and was 90+ at times. Dinos last hit would have gone out anywhere except dead center.

    Throw Zach Thompson in there with 6 home runs. I don't understand how Zach has not gotten the offers. Solid fielder and good hitter.

    Was looking back through Tricitiessports.com. Looks like South has not played the top games. Their four wins are all over the bottom teams. They still have to play the top teams. I believe they play Boone Wednesday in a makeup and then again the last week of the season which will determine the 4 spot. Looking at the articles. Connell hit 3 Saturday and 1 last night so I think he has 7 according to tricitiessports.com I think Norris and Craig have 6 each. Millsap has several for DB.

    anybody know standings right now? I would say Science Hill DB THS Boone volunteer/Crockett Central is this right? Who leads the Conference in HR's?
  10. The players know. We were watching a JV game the other day and the players sitting around me saw 4 bats that were illegal being used. The umpires up here never check anything. BAts, helmets, catcher's equipment. they would not have a clue whether a bat was legal or illegal.

    Found it on Houston Site. Lost 4-2 Looks like D-No must have had control problems again. 7K's but 6 W's in 4.2 innings. Someone give us the scoop.

    How did SH do yesterday in the tournament? What were D-No's numbers?

    Gabby, What happened to SH this weekend. Did not get to go. I know it was good teams they were playing but they got blasted twice. Was the SH pitching not equal or fielding. i thought SH would put runs up on most teams.

    No disagreement here. He looked good and will be there. I would take Norris over any other pitcher right now. Would love to see Norris and Connell together on a staff like they were with the Jr. Toppers. That team would be deadly now. Watched Kevin last night. STill getting baseball legs under him after basketball season. Pitched 3 innings of relief and had 5 or 6 k's. Not there yet but had good form and was upper 80's. Playing basketball limits him and others from their full potential but you are only a high school player once. He did what he wanted to do and became the only player to start at least one game in all four years in football, basketball, and baseball at Boone. Some times you have to live for yourself and do something you have to give up something. He will be there in a few weeks full speed. I believe 90 is a lot of pitches this early. I know they have been throwing but still too many pitches for me. Not bashing Edwards or DaHill. Just my thought, everybody has a different level of pitch count at this point in the game. I believe the weather being cold also should limit the pitches, especially when you have the arms SH has. It would have been hard to pull him that close to the no hitter. I'm glad Edwards did. I was one that thought Norris pitched too many in a week at the end of last season.
  15. No You buy your way into there. Money talks whether it is an organization or a player. AGain, no one looks at stats. It is about the evaluation. 98% of what did what. Signed a college scholarship. That is not that hard. If I can do an invite only showcase, I bet I can get 100%. Think about it. Just because you are sold on these guys, you don't have to sound unreasonable about their results. They may get there but they are unproven and will take many years to get there. The difference is that PG has the players going pro. Their goal is to rank the total players, not just the ones that come to a showcase. If you want to say that this organization is great to get players signed, then say that. But also state what level and where they are getting them signed. Most players in the south that make varsity can go north and play D1. Just be realistic and stop trying to sell snake oil.
