Cheering for a team other than Franklin...is not a lack of class.

Franklin is going to beat Overton...back to back? Here's a trivia question for you: Name something that Overton hasn't done a single time this year?

At Overton... Overton over Hillsboro 7-1 with Sophomore Jordan Humphreys striking out 8 and giving up 2 hits in 6 innings. Franklin over Centennial 10-4, Tony Kemp with a bomb in the loss. Colton Robertson with the win. Tuesday: Centennial/Hillsboro at 4:30 Overton/Franklin at 7:00

It rained again here. Not hard, but enough.

...and cancelled. Sunday 2pm Overton/Hillsboro 4:30 Franklin/Centennial

11-AAA (Franklin/Centennial and Overton/Hillsboro) is on at 2 and 4:30 providing there is no more rain.

PLAY BALL! We are on at Overton at 2pm (Franklin/Centennial) and 4:30 (Overton/Hillsboro)...providing there is no more precipitation.

TSSAA CALENDAR It is actually the 8th, not the 6th or 10th. I had looked at the calendar and saw the 6th, but that is actually for Tennis. It states on 5/8 that Districts must be completed on May 8. If the forecast is anything close to correct, it looks like Tuesday may be the first day games are played, Monday evening if we are lucky, but with rain chances every single day next week.

I can't find the link to the new D1 regions/districts after this year -- can you post that?

It looks fine. As long as this next band isn't torrential we should be ok. The shop vacs will be out in full force.

posting from Brentwood. Overton jumped on Robbie Ray for 7 runs in the first and leads Brentwood 8-0 going to 3rd. Ray at 90 pitches.

I hear that Father Ryan was no hit by Hillis.

I haven't seen Ravenwood, Brentwood, or Franklin. Who can shed some light on those teams...especially what's going on with Franklin?

Lipscomb @ Overton has been postponed as Lipscomb had to cancel due to needing to play a district game. That's a shame, as it should have been a great game. I'm sure it will be made up. What is the schedule today for other teams in the district?

Wow. This was epic. Overton wins 17-15 in 7 full innings at Centennial. Inning 1: -- Overton scores 1 and has bases loaded with no outs. Cole Patterson hits a laser to center. Frankly, he hit it too hard (can you do that?) for it to get out as the wind was really carrying the ball. Overton ends up with 2 runs. -- Tony Kemp puts on the Tony Kemp Show and homers on 2 strike count. His only hit of the night, though. -- 2-1 Overton Inning 2-5: -- Wildly back and forth. At one point, Centennial is winning 11-4. -- Overton has a huge inning on 2 outs, going ahead in the inning. -- Overton then finds themselves down 14-13 and it starts to sprinkle. They eventually tie it 14-14. We start talking about running out the clock and setting up for a field goal. Where's Jeff Fisher when you need him? Inning 7: -- Overton scores 3 on a couple of walks and great hits up the middle by Harton and Moore (I know I'm leaving contributors out but my memory is failing me). Up 17-14. -- Centennial loads the bases with 0 outs. Hot shot to SS, to 2nd, to first with a double play on a scoop (1b making first varsity start other than pitching due to injury/pitching rotation). -- 17-15 with 2 outs. Cathey continues his good pitching and strikes out the next batter to end the game. It may very well have been the most exciting baseball game that I've ever attended. I think I'd feel the same had Overton lost. So, Overton, with 2 starters out due to injury, beats Independence and Centennial on consecutive nights to go to 9-3. Centennial is a great hitting team -- strong up and down the lineup. Mostly a well played game by both teams. It just turned out to be one of those scorefests. Infield was rock hard and the wind was carrying.
