That is incorrect. When the coach's talked there was nothing said about the actual day they were playing. According to Grace they were told earlier that weekend that LV AD agreed to play Tuesday and heard nothing else. When the two coaches talked each coach assumed the other knew the day and neither mentioned the day. The only thing that was mentioned was the time of the game. It was mostly handled at the AD level and as far as everyone knew at Grace it had been changed and we were not told otherwise by anyone at LV. Again, this is a very strange, weird, rare situation and neither school needs to be pointing fingers because there is bigger things than baseball and one of those bigger things was the incident last Friday. They are both playing and as far as I know Grace is covering umps for this game. Good luck to both and like I said if LV is the one that moves on they are still the team I'm rooting for...until then GO GRACE!

I don't think they were told on there end by the higher up dealing with the situation and possible date change. If their coach didn't know then he was not told by the person in charge of the change. As far as fans from Grace, they must have been alumni that read in the paper cuz most already knew it had been changed to Tuesday. Its a crazy situation and very unfortunate, especially with the preparations LV goes through to be great hosts of a home game, but I think this is one that again needs to be put to rest.

They didn't not show with intentions of forfeiting...they believed the game was changed to Tuesday and that both parties agreed in respects to allowing the team to be there during the viewing as well as participating in the region tournament. Grace has the upmost respect for LV and their program and I'm very positive that this was not done to hurt LV. Hopefully this can be put behind so that not only everyone from Grace can move on but that also Grace and LV and continue their relationship. Good luck tomorrow and if LV ends up on the better end of tomorrow's game then I will be rooting for you as you move on. GOOD LUCK GRACE!

Everyone at Grace was under the impression everything was confirmed and changed to Tuesday due to the events that happened over the weekend. Tonight was the viewing of the young man from Grace that was killed in the car accident and the funeral is tomorrow morning so everyone here thought it was Tuesday. No they weren't supposed to play. Grace forfeited the district championship games on Saturday due to the accident automatically making them the number 2 seed to face LV.

Incorrect, Grace plays at LV at 6:00 Tuesday night.

It's an error. DB 1 and Grace 2. Grace cancelled the games vs. DB because of a tragic accident which killed a Grace student. Please be in prayer for the family and school.

Grace beat SD 7-6 in a good, hard fought game. Tomorrow Grace plays DB at 2:30.

Nope, if weather allows they will continue play tomorrow and continue the double elimination as long as weather doesn't cancel. Copper plays SD today and Grace plays DB today.

So far everything is still double elimination. If games after tomorrow get rained out then DB and Grace go, winner of that game gets higher seed.

Grace won 8-1...controlled the whole game although it was close most the game....3-1 going into 7th and Grace put together a solid 5 run inning. Rose pitched a very good game.

It is up to each individual district. In your district's case "Rookie420" it looks as if they are saying that if higher seed's field isn't ready but other field is then they must travel.

The only thing it will come down to is which team comes to play. If Grace comes to play their game SD doesn't match up to them. But its been proven that anyone can beat Grace if they don't come to play. If they play their game then Grace will be fine.

I think the fact that Grace has more success in more of the sports makes it to where people focus on only the negative. I think you will find positive and negative people at all schools if you really focus on everyone. But the fact Grace has been dominant in more of the sports in 5a people just see them as cocky and don't see any positive. Yes, DB is much better at baseball and that is great (still want to know what they have coming up outside of Williams). But there are some basketball games in past few years where I know DB fans have been kicked out of because of their behavior. Not saying all people at Grace are perfect but please don't make Grace to be the school that is cocky and has no class. There are great people at DB, as well as Temple and SD, but Grace has some great people also and I would say the people in charge are nothing close to cocky. Good luck in your school move and even if your kid does go to DB best of luck to him there.

If he is "helping" coach baseball he sure doesn't feel the need to help during a game. He was at neither game that Grace played, not even the one at Copper.

Coach Kidd is not the coach at Copper. CSAS lost a couple big leftys and are down this year. Grace handled them during a pre season scrimmage. They have a lefty who plays CF who is pretty solid but not much outside of him. It was still 2 big wins for Silverdale but don't compare CSAS and the solid team they've had the last couple years to CSAS now.

The scores were in reference to yesterday's games against DB.

Duh, I guess I knew he pitched Monday, just wasn't thinking. So who else did they pitch? How did he do? I wonder how many other guys pitch on the team and how much they actually throw cuz with rain outs this year and the smaller schedule they already have I'm sure they haven't had to throw much outside of Williams and Thedford. Their coach does do a good job, he only has one guy from his Titans team as far as I know though. He is a freshman catcher and he does a pretty good job for a freshman at that position.

Did DB pitch Williams and Thedford? I'm not sure there is any pitching outside those two guys, at least we haven't seen anyone outside Williams.

Last night wasn't much challenge but they still played well. This week is a true challenge for them: Thursday at Lookout Valley, DH at Grace vs. CSAS on Friday and then another home game Saturday vs. Signal Mountain.

Freshman Long went 6 innings with NO earned runs in that first game. All were unearned after that error. He had 5 K's in that game and only gave up 6 hits. He also had a very impressive first outing vs. Marion Co. I would say he is a very solid pitcher for Grace. Plus you have Davis who got some work in the JV game against DB before the varsity game on Saturday. He struck out 11 in a row I think it was. They have many guys who can pitch so I don't think they are hurting on pitching. Alec has plenty around him. DB definitely deserved their first win and there are no excuses, but I think the better team was shown on Saturday.

12-2 Grace

I've taken nothing away from their win. I said they earned it. So easy there T4Life, all I said was they didn't look that impressive outside of a couple guys. One pitcher just shut Grace down. We also looked not so great obviously. DB is much improved then years past and will not make 5a an easy win...I've never said Grace will be handed 5a, just feel that top 9 for Grace are better than top 9 for DB. Until you are there and watch both teams please don't take something said and trash a program by putting words in their mouth. And BTW, congrats on a great basketball season and the silver ball!

PLEASE KEEP UPDATE ON GAME...COULDN'T MAKE GAME BUT HAVE COMPUTER CLOSE BY (KRUDDY COMPUTER SO I CANT GET AUDIO) TO GET UPDATES ON COACH T. THANKS!

It was 0-0 in the fifth against Grace's freshman pitcher and one error with two outs opened it up for you. DB did win and earned it but I don't know about a woodshed. I'll still tip my hat to them but wasn't that impressed with whole team. They have 2-3 guys that can really play, one being a pitcher that the team relys on. He is a good pitcher who pitched great against Grace but I don't know how far they can go with just him.

Early update anyone?
