Brentwood
Independence
Franklin
Centinial
and does the rest really matter.
These are the only real contenders.
Ravenwood couldnt quite make the cut with a lack of pitching and hitting it will be hard to get back to state.
Brentwood will have 3 proven pitchers with Ray, Hillis, and Lee. And expect to see sophmore Tyson Ashcraft making major contributions on the mound and at the plate. But agreed scoring runs will be a problem for the bruins. They will rely heavily on Ryan Shelton, Andrew Slusser, David Hood, and the Martin Signee Gavin O'neal to get things going and hope everything else just works out.
Independence will rely on the lipscomb signee Brandon Rowe to cover most of their duties on the hill. Offensively Independence is gonna be pretty basic. dane Owen who had been pretty reliable since his freshman year. Their downfall will surely be lack of depth but with a little work can be delt with because their is potential.
Franklin is just going to have to recover from losing the best highschool line up in tn for the last three years. Seniors Matt Young and Colton Robertson are going to have their work cut out for them. They just have the highschool curse of lack of depth. Maybe the Franklin underclassmen will come through and turn out a winning season. They also get my pick for sleeper team to win a lot of games.
Centenial is not going to be a bad team. With Tony Kemp who can be a major impact player they will win games. But with little help on the mound its gonna require the cougars to get as many runs as they can out of each game because runs will be scored on them.
But really you never know. Maybe Overton can turn some heads and do well with not a lot as they have in the past. Best of luck to division 11AAA
