You know it really shows when someone doesn't know what they're talking about........namely Kerr. Don't take away from what FRHS has done by trying to smear the job that Wes has done, not only for BA, but at the Lipscomb games. He did a great job. Don't tarnish FRHS's reputation by making such ridiculous assertions. To do so, shows no class or character.

Thanks Wes. FrankL, McCallie got beat, das what happened

Now that's character that I can identify with. And if you read my posts.....you would see it. D2 Middle is a special group of teams, no room for "smack", just good baseball all the way around it. Good luck to Ryan today and at state.

Does Baylor have to win two to take 1st seed?

Alright, somebody voted late............cause FRHS, BGA, BA (in that order) was zero%

Atta boy! Mash em'.

How did the East Region end up?

Hopefully, Ryan will be in your bracket instead of us....... do you know how the other Regions are ending up?

Yeah baby! Do da mash! Will da monsta take the mound?

Teams going to State from the Middle Father Ryan plays BGA tomorrow(possibly Sat) for #1 and #2 seeds Brentwood Academy has the #3 seed East? West?

WesVols, Pitching seemed to be a problem for BA tonight. Seemed to take the rest of the team out of their game. Rest up and knock em down in Memphis. Time to take care of some business. Time to Rizzzzza UP!

I guess BGA doesn't have that kind of character.......you can count on it.

Oh my, pretty bold frhs. Is the Region tourney over, did I miss the final 2/3 days......... Pretty bold, so you are saying it's over and that BGA and BA don't need to show up?

That's the mash. Believe it.

Thanks M, you're a good man. It would be a fitting end to this year for the whole team. This team has a lot of heart to handle what it's been through, as individuals and as a team. Hey, the sky is the limit.......I can't wait to see you all hit on all "8 cylinders."

Alright, how will it sort out by the end of the week? Good luck to each of the teams! Congrats to MBA on a great season for a young team. I wouldn't bet against them next season.

That's right, you made him stay sharp to stay in the game. You guys are going to have some fun over the next few years.

For those of you that were at the game......you witnessed something pretty special in baseball. BGA's Freshman pitcher was given the ball in a pressure packed "do or die" situation for his team. You would think at best, if he gets out of the first inning, he may last a few.......that's what made tonights performance by Freshman Matt Ridings so special........he pitched a complete game, a 6 hit shut-out against a very good ball club, top 10 ranked in Middle TN. BGA's young gun took the mound with the composure and poise of four year senior. Oh yes, he had opportunity to lose focus, get down, rattled, etc. There were numerous borderline pitches that didn't go his way......did he fold under a 2-0 count.....don't even think about it. If I'm not mistaken he pitched his way out of every tight spot. Entering the last two innings, he still had a sizzle on the fast ball, and would make a sniper faint with his spotting ability. I can't imagine how high this kid's ceiling is. I'm telling you folks, this young man has a bright future and one of the most humble young men you will ever meet. Was it luck, or were the stars all lined up for him........not if you consider this wasn't the first time this season that he's shut down a good team. Special or even Natural come to mind with his performance this afternoon. Nice job Matt! To Him be the glory!

That's profound FrankL. Past tense......and for the next 3 years.

Great game, you guys are a class act BR3. 4 teams deserve to be in Memphis. The game records speak volumes. Here's a salute to all those Little League coaches from several years ago.........you started something pretty darn special.

BR 3, you've already had Bene and you liked him to much. You all ran off Bubis.......you'll get a buffet this time.

You're right, whatever it takes is what it will be. Mash away.

Could be one or combination of 6 different pitchers. With a couple being doubtful with having pitched recently. Bograt (complete game on Sat) Benefield(several innings Tues) VS Whylie, French, Hawkins, etal

Nice picture WesVols, congratulations on your accomplishments at BA.

It's do or die time. Who wants it the most. Men from the boys. Time for da' Mash. Are you up for it Monsta! Evera body RISE UP! Amen, brothers. :usa: (deuces are wild)
