The final score was 2-0...

What a whale of a game is all I gots to say...

GP took advantage of some Eagle errors in the first to take an early lead... Gibbs hit the ball hard all game and Goodpasture found a way to keep runners on base most innings... And the 7th inning O-man...GP puts 2 on and ends up scoring 1 before Gibbs shut them down. Big turning point in the game. Verry verry verry good game to watch.

Wishing safe play to all the teams still in!!!

BTW... I'm poasting this from the airport with Vegas ticket in hand.

That's why they play the game... Opnions of parrents or fans never won a game. Good Luck to both teams!!!

Yipp-eee.... 2 more winning picks. If I get this next one correct I'm boarding a plain to Vegas.

Gibbs v/s Goodpasture.

History and tradition on both sides. These 2 teams account for almost 25 state championships. Should b a great game to watch.

Gonna have to go with the Eagles on this one. They have allowed 0 runs thus far in the tournament. GP has put some runs on the board but they have allowed runs as well.

Well well well... 4 fer 4 in the first round!! Wish I could pick em like that in Vegas.

Final Four! Congratz to all.

Goodpasture v/s CAK. this one has me thinking... Gonna give this one to GP, returning state champs. I still look for CAK to test them.

Gibbs v/s White House. These 2 faced off once this season and Gibbs came away with the Win. Both teams hit well in the first round so pitching and defence should decide this one.

Let's hear the predictions and why you think the team will win the State Championship. Congrats to all 8 teams and good luck!

WOW! Almost 24 hours and no one has taken the bait?

Aight then here goes mine.

Game 1 - GP over East Hamilton

Game 2 - CAK over Chester Co

Game 3 - White House over Lexington

Game 4 - Gibbs over Upperman

I havent been able to watch all the teams that made it to satate in AA this year but ill go out on a limb and say Goodpasture v/s Gibbs for winners final. CAK will surprise some teams and could be the sleeper.

Lets hope for good weather & safe play for all involved. Should be some good games to watch next week!

CONGRATZ to Coffee Co!!!

Kinda ironic CC's first trip in 12 years comes on a year that this board did NOT have to listen to a few fans proclaiming yalls State Championship in March. Sometimes you have to cut the fat to make it to the next level.

Where is the play by play on how "Big Mo" did during the game? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thunders First Base Coach coached at Eastern or Western Kentucky, not sure which. She also coached at Tusculum College I believe.

So who won the berth this weekend?

Thunder 93 beat Chattanooga Fury 94 2 times with the score of 3-1 to win the berth out of the loosers bracket. Does anyone know who put Thunder into the loosers bracket? The bracket wasnt filled out completly the last time I checked.

That seems to be a pattern this year. A Fury team being beaten twice by a team out of the loosers bracket.

Dont get me wrong WonderTwin, I was just saying he was the only coach that I knew of in Tennessee that coached college ball. I wasn't saying that synergy wasn't a Tennessee team, just the oppisite.

Thunder 93 also has an ex-college coach on the field.

For the most part it looks like the same group of team that were in Hendersonville. 21 Teams again.

Tn Eagles

Chatt Force

Fury 94

Blaze Blue

Chatt Lightning

Wild Hawks

Synergy

Cyclones

Impact

Xplosion

Fury 95

Cruisers

Sting

Mustanges

Blaze Red

Lady Aces

Fury Cartwright

Frost Falcons

94 Thunder

Thunder 93

NightHawks

A few interesting First Round match up.

Mustangs v/s Lady Aces - 7:30 Friday and Frost Falcons v/s Thunder 93 - 9:00 Friday

2 of the top 4 teams in Hendersonville will be in the Loosers Bracket early.

Who will win the Berth this weekend?

Kind of funny how no one is mentioning the Nashville Cruisers or Tennessee Athletics in the 16's.

 

Easily two of the best I have seen so far this fall. Both won their respective pools at the TN Fall Exposure this past weekend.

Nashville Crusiers was the other Nashville team I could not think of. How many of thoes players are 16u for summer?

Did Germantown have 2 teams in the TN Fall Exposure? I was thinking from the Championship Game that Germantown won out over the Athletics in that pool. I didnt get a chance to look at the results of the Germantown v Athletics game.

There was a great turnout of teams and coaches and the weather was great but you cant base it all on a showcase tournament with drop dead/revert back rules. Scores dont always reflect what a team can or can not do when a win means everything or a berth to nationals is on the line. It still should be interesting to see all the above mentioned teams fight it out for 4 berths.

16u

Mustangs

Force

Lady Aces

Fury (Nashville)

 

 

14u

Fury '95

Valley Thunder

Worth '95

Muzuno

 

The rest have no idea. Too many teams reloaded this year and spring brings up a lot of questions to be answered.

You forgot about the Fury out of Chattanooga who have qualified for ASA Nationals the past 4 years I think it is and the 2 teams out of Knoxville that qualified as first year 16u teams last season.

16u

TN Fury (Chattanooga)

Knoxville Thunder 93

Force - Knoxville Fury - Mustangs - Lady Aces - Synergy will be fighting it out for the final 2 TN Berths. There is also 1 other team out of Nashville that will be in the running, but I cant think of there name at this time.

Germantown Red Devils will make the trip again this year but they will get there berth from the Memphis Metro Qualifier if a Cally team dont steal the berth again this year.

Do we have a winner yet? I heard Worth was waiting for the winner of Thunder '93 and Team Synergy. Not familiar with Synergy. Anyone know who they are and where they are from?

Thunder 93 over Synergy (Synergy is from the Mid TN area I think)

Worth beat Thunder 93 in the championship to win there Berth. Congradulations to Team Worth!!! Is there anyone that watched this game care to comment on what wet on. Going on the last time these two teams met I was expecting a knock down drag out battel. Thanks.

"Sorshins", I must agree with you on those picks! Worth is the strongest team in the small field of teams this weekend & Thunder 93 is a talented young team that will be tough for anyone to get past. But with that said there are other teams who may step up & be a surprise. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Wish I could get down to Chattanooga to see these two teams play this weekend. I was in Hendersonville when Worth & Thunder played 8-9 innings I tink it was before Worth won in ITB. One of the best games I have seen in a long time. Both looked evenly matched and with a few months together they both will have only got better.

Athletics, Predators & Firebirds could put up a good fight but I still see Worth or Thunder 93 getting there berth. Its a shame thoes two have to meet so early in bracket play. Sure to be a great weekend of ball. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I would say that Team Worth and Knoxville Thunder 93 stand the best chances to grab the 2 remaining berths.

I was told the 93 Thunder just missed getting there berth this past weekend in SC. After 11 games in 2 days an injury got the best of them.

Beech 1.6/44 Banks Jr

Marshall Co. 1.6/30 ?

 

 

My guess is each one of these teams have a pitcher or pitchers sporting ERA's below 1.0

Just wondering where this info came from? Im thinking there is a few more that should be included in this list.

Why wouldnt GP be the underdog you ask.... I cant answer that question. But acording to all the Mid TN experts when spring fling started everyone else should have just congratulated GP on their State Championship and saved alot of $$$ traveling...

Again, im not a GP follower so I cant say if she pitched all the losses or not. But then again, if she is all that and a bag of chips one can only ######-ume she was pitching. Does GP even have another pitcher?

I'd say this will be worth the $8 price of admission.

 

/popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

This one should rank right up there with Tyson v/s Douglas..... For some reason i feel like im going to watch a prize fight & hopeing a softball game breaks out.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Can you name 'em?

Hmmmm, Im not a GP follower but ill give it a shot. Acording to GP schedule they are 41-4-1. Looks like i missed one. Not being a GP follower it is possibel that someone else pitched 1 or 2 of these games but for the sake of argument here ya go.......

Mar. 17 Huntsville (AL) N Nike Gulf Coast Classic L 0-1

Mar. 18 Oak Mountain (Al) N Nike Gulf Coast Classic L 0-3

Apr. 18 #1 Trinity Christian N Franklin/Sonic Championship L 0-1

Thu May. 21 #1 Unicoi Co. N Class AA State 5PM at Mboro Starplex L 1-2

The tie came was Apr. 11 Mercy Academy (Ga) N Soddy Daisy Classic T 2-2

What'd y'all beat GP, 2-1? What, was y'all 'saving' somethin'? /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

 

Careful what you say. People on this here website can be very...um, shall we say they remember premature crowing and arrogance.

 

When they hand you the trophy, then you can say what you want. Otherwise, like I said, I'd be very careful.

Nope, we didnt beat GP 2-1... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Dont have a dogy in this here fight excpt for pulling for the underdog or so everyone on here seems to think. Just by your previous post stating its on now seemed as if you were bragging about beating a team 3-0 that y'all had beat somethin like 10-0 eairler in the week. Just wondering what the difference in the games were? /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Everybody has one, I suppose, but this girl is only a sophomore and lost, what, 2 games??? /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

 

Go 'head on, Chey!

I think its 3 now that UC did it last night.... /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> She is a good pitcher dont get me wrong but you could stick any above average pitcher in her place & things would not change one bit. The defence & Cartwright makes GP the powerhouse that they are.

Uh, oh. GP beat Covington 3-0. It's on now!

Just 3-0? Wasnt there first meeting this week like 10-0 or something? Were they trying to save some hits for UC or did Covington give them more of a game than they were expecting?

Cant wait for the rematch......... /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

This game does not surprise me one bit. Goodpasture was vulnerable to a good hitting team. I noticed that when my team played them. We just didn't have the hitting. Goodpasture does not have shutdown pitching and has to rely on defense which has not been a problem for them. If you can keep Cartwright from beating you and have a pitcher that hits her spots the rest of the line-up is not going to beat a good team. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

My thoughts exactly!!!

However id watch out for both Cartwright's & the third baseman can be a pain to get out too. In my opinion pitching is their weakest link.
