As they say here in TN, "I don't have a dawg in this hunt !" Just an observation I made while watching the play. I didn't need a "source" to tell me about it. I always get a kick about people stating "facts" when they weren't there ! And I think if you read the post you note I stated the Faragut scored the runs to win...No disrespct to anyone.

According to sources??? He got a glove on the ball, bobbled the ball, recovered the ball....... but the fact that the batter was unable to run due to a bad knee made the out. Evan Frazier beats that out any (other) day....gutsy play by Frazier just to be at bat. The inning started with a John Jordan triple to straight center, (that kid is fast) Credit to Faragut, they got the runs, but Collierville(as banged up as they are) didn't make it easy.

It was a pretty smart move, Bowers struck out twice prior, and was off balance on both of them. Credit to Bowers, he went down to "golf" a low inside pitch over the fence.

Early season tournament loss on a very, very sloppy field. (true, both teams did play on it). I don't think that game would tell anyone anything. Independence has plenty of "swag". The Eagles have their own streak going and are not ready to stop playing ball yet ! Should be a good night for baseball with a full house on both sides.

I doubt you KNOW as much as you think you do. Every deck of cards has more than 1 ACE, they are just different suits. I'm beginning to think you are just a name dropper, you only repeat the names you hear. The Eagles are much more than the 4 names I have seen you repeatedly parrot. Go Eagles !!!

Independence over Overton 9 to 8 in a slugfest. Independence hosts sectional game. Sounds like Clarksville will be coming to visit. 1st inning had HR from both teams, Josh Lee's good for 2 runs latter in the game (5th?) Blake Carden had a monster 3 run blast to put Indy up for good Overton kept hitting the ball as well, scoring 3 runs on a bases loaded double to left field that got caught in the swirling winds and fell just short of the fence.

It get's kinda rowdy on the Fiesta deck sometimes (student section), but feel free to partake !!

Should be interesting this evening. Both teams have a lot of pride, and I don't think either one wants to drive to Clarksville !!! Playing in front of a Mt Juliet crowd (very "supportive") would not be my choice either. Independence is on top in the "series" 2 to 1, but all of the games have been close (8 -5 and 7 -6 Indy wins, 8 -7 Overton win) I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of pitching by "commitee" from either side

Connor Moore has a very strong arm, but he is not very mobile and only slightly above average (at best) at blocking pitches in the dirt. If you can't throw the nasty ball with 2 strikes, you loose an advantage. The catchers at Independence and Brentwood are better all around catchers. Coachs quit running against Indy's #26 for a reason !

Independence 10 Antioch 0 5 inning 1 hit, 1 walk pitching performance by Lee signee Rob Rowland faced 17 batters !!!

Hey Bobcats 10 Both Overton and Independence will do well in the post season. Both teams hit the ball well (and hard). Niether team in Distict 12AAA can hang with either of 11AAA represenatives. (this is baseball though, and stranger things have happened) I will admit that costly errors (E usually = Run)were made by both teams in the championship game, but there were some stellar defensive plays from both sides as well. As to coaching, it's real easy to sit outside and question a move by a coach, they usually know what is going on with their team though. Coach Moore looked good at the end of 8 !

District 11 AAA final Independence 7 Overton 6 in 8 innings Independence carried a 6 to 2 lead into the bottom of the 7th, Overton hit the ball hard and tied the game. Independence manufactured a run out of a lead off walk, a 2 strike sac bunt, a ground out to advance the runner to 3rd, then a grounder misplayed at third to score the run. Congratulations to the Eagles !!!!

GOT WORD LATE THAT THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IS GOING TO BE PLAYED RIGHT AFTER THE FRANKLIN/OVERTON GAME, DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE? IF SO, WHY? I HAVE MY THEORY It's true. Overton vs Franklin followed by Independence vs Winner. A major conspiracy by the district to keep Franklin from moving on ? Or, could it be the 50%+ chance for heavy rain Friday and Saturday on already saturated ground ?!!

At Independence Ravenwood 7 Brentwood 2 (Brentwood eliminated) Independence 8 Ravenwood 3 (Ravenwood eliminated) Independence awaits the winner of the Overton bracket having scored 27 runs and allowed 3

The Eagles looked SOLID last night. B Miller was impressive on the mound, and the bats were working. Ravenwood had a couple of errors, but YOUR boys were hitting the ball. Support your team. If you don't support your teams because of some posts on a website, your missing the point of high school (or college) sports. As for cocky ?? Try confident. A solid group of Seniors on this team with a will to get things done. 11 conference wins in a row, including Ws over Franklin, Brentwood (scored 10 allowed 1 in 2 games), Ravenwood (no hitter) and Centenial (scored 21 allowed 3 in 2 games) And in their early season split with Overton (Indy 15 runs Overton 13, for what it's worth) So EaglesFlyHigh, come on out to the Fiesta deck and enjoy some salsa with your baseball !!! Some do like it HOT
