Since I will have to get my baseball fix most of the upcomeing season from HS ball. Which 8 teams does eveyone think will make it to Memphis this season. I kow that there are many programs that always make a run at th post season but I think that 2004 was a special year. The 2004 class IMHO was the strongest in a great number of years so I would expect to see some new faces this season. I know that Goodpasture,Rcokwood, Mt. Pleasant lost a lot of seniors, not sure about USJ. DA has a few kids that are seniors this year that are fine players, I realy like the Heath kid, great hitter. Does any one know of a team that they think will break into the top 8 .

Brad Cobb, Michael McGee, Eric Diaz, Danny Pully,Justin Sturdavant,Corey Herbert and some kid named Hooper Lets not leave off the basebal team !

I have to second BNA's post, Goodpasture will have a very good team next year. Coach Estep did what he could to get the underclassmen pitching and playing time. As BNA said if these boys use this summer to build on this past seasons performance they will be a very good team.

Thank you Volunteer. I couldn't have said it any better.

Well I'm sorry you seem to think everyone is wrong and you are right. I know for a fact that Goodpasture and USJ are great teams. I'm glad to say my son is on one of them. I do know what they said about breaking legs because my husband was there and heard everything Tuesday. I knew it was going to be tough between USJ and Goodpasture. That's what makes a great game. Not the parents arguing back and forth. All teams should be happy that they made to to state tournament. I wish all who is left in it good luck. They have all worked hard.

I am on under my husbands name just to let everyone know. Goodpasture is a top notch team and very competitive. Which is what should be if you play sports. It sounds like to me Jay Moreland was doing his job as a catcher and should not be put down for that. I know for a fact that he is a very good catcher and knows what he is supposed to do. I really wish everyone would quit blowing this all out of proportion and let the teams have a great tournament. Goodpasture players and coaches have worked very hard to get where they have and they have great parents backing them where ever they go. I am very proud of them on and off the field! Our team has not yelled to break USJ players legs. That tells me they have alot of class. If you don't know Goodpasture first hand, then don't believe everything you hear. Nobodys son is ever a complete angel and some parents need to remember that. Keep up the good work Goodpasture!!!!

Ok well lets see since we are christians we are supposed to meekly let USJ win ... not gonna happen we come to play and want every team we play to do the same. we will give it our best and be glad to shake their hand when the game is over. I have known Jay moreland since he was 13 years old and you will not find a finer young man! As for his father taking care of him lol now that is a dumb statement his father has raised Jay to speak his mind , stand up and do the right thing. Veercoach has descibed what happend so I will not repeat it, but lets look at what happend. The ump had not warned Jay for anything he had said or done which means he had done nothing out of line, end of story. It dosen't matter What the USJ players ,coaches or parents think about him or his comments. bottom line and this is true in just about all cases such as this ,USJ was getting their hat handed to them and shown the door and dident like it, moreland got in the batters box got hit on purpose and laughed at the pitcher and then started to first. up to this point no problem thats baseball. When the USJ players went after Jay I guess they thought he was going to back down or apologize for getting in their heads. lol I have never seen Jay Moreland back down from anyone and dont think I will any time soon. Now at the point the USJ players surronded Jay, only a fool would think he would not get the support he deseves from his team mates, I guarantee that he will not be alone when he is in such a situation. Oh I forgot This is USJ we are talking about and our boys should have meekly stayed in the dug out and left their teammate to fend for himself. lol I know these boys and just smile when I think about that happening. I myself heard the USJ players shout in the first game for their fielder to " break his leg " yea class act! Goodpasture has played USJ before , we lost, shook thier hand, and went home and worked to get better. well that day is here we are better and we are not the ones going home.

I would hope that Goodpasture might get some consideration, seems like they have a chance to play against some of these teams in post season. I have wonderd why I dont read manyposts about them. I know that a lot of the teams mentioned are from other parts of the state so the posters dont get to see them much but Goodpasture has a fine team and hopes to andvance to state this year.

What a classless post. which one ? every one fanatic has in this thread

tice hit one in lebanon, porter has hit at least 1 McCool has hit 2 , lol shoot cant think of the other names. OK son told me some other boys hit a few but that they where pre season or practice. the 3 above where in season though. I also think that GP has had a good number of grand slams.

I dont know the number but Goodpasture has quite a few HR. I tried to count the number of players on the team who had hit dingers I belive it is 14 or 15 of the players who have hit at least 1 HR and most have more than 1.

wow 17 pages you rockwood guys are sure behind your team . think it speaks well of the team and school.

Hi david, wish I had known ou where at riverdale for the marshall game, I was there and would have loved to meet you. Goodpasture played marshall in the next game so I go tthere early and watched the game . great tournament with alot of great teams.

Why would you think that there would be a need for a private school to be located near Riverdale, oakland { Rutherford Acdy.} I thought from reading many of the posts that the main complaint was that private schools get students { football players } from huge areas. So why would they need to open a new school close to those kids to get them to attend? I belive you are right though a private would need to be much closer to thses kids before they would consider attending.
