north fans tend to forget that north has been a playoff regular since 1994. they've made the playoffs 13 out of the last 16 years. thay made it 11 straight years from 1994 to 2004. won the conference/region in 2004. they've been to the 3rd round twice. the only years north didnt make it was 2005, 2006, and 2007 when they were playing up out of their classification. north has had a good program for a long time and it has continued.

bt washington, oakhaven, hickman and lewis are not in yet. only 2 of the 4 have a chance to make it. theres 17 potential 5 win teams. only 3 are in as of now. theres 12 playoff spots left. again i looked at this quickly so correct me if im wrong.

i looked at that when i made the list. 5 wins is not a lock.

best i can figure there are 20 teams in for sure: 1. alcoa 2. cak 3. camden 4. milan 5. polk co 6. gp 7. manassas 8. elizabethton 9. smith co 10. goodpasture 11. bledsoe co. 12. sullivan north 13. west greene 14. ae 15. sequatchie co 16. mcminn central 17. cannon co 18. tyner 19. cumberland gap 20. loudon theres 18 teams still alive for 12 spots: 1. stewart co 2. york institute 3. westview 4. kingston 5. johnson co 6. fairview 7. east literature 8. pearl cohn 9. grundy co 10. harpeth 11. jackson central merry 12. happy valley 13. hickman co 14. pigeon forge 15. south greene 16. oakhaven 17. lewis co 18. booker t washington i did this real quick and didnt look at tiebreakers except for people with a chance for automatics. let me know if anybody is already in for sure or eliminated for sure that i listed - and why.

after looking very close gerry's bracket for quad 1 is right.

no rainouts so far. unicoi, elizabethton, happy valley, and north were final 4. 2nd round: unicoi 6 north 1 hv 12 betsy 5 ( 8 innings ) 3rd round unicoi 10 hv 2 betsy 5 north 4 elimination game: hv 6 betsy 4 championship tonight: unicoi vs. hv

uncoi 12-0 betsy 8-3 wg 7-4 hv 5-5 sn 5-7 cd 3-9 jc 2-7 sg 2-9

north 6 - south greene 5 unicoi 11 - west greene 5 chucky doak 8 - elizabethton 4 happy valley 6 - johnson county 4

north is 5-4.

the district is at crockett.

as a raider fan both teams played hard and it was one of the best high school games ive ever seen. i hate losing. i really hate losing. but blaming officials is what losers do. all you can do as a coach is to ask your kids to give themselves a chance to win. our kids did that. the pass interference call was questionable. but.... betsy had several big offensive plays called back also. plus we obviously jumped offsides in two key situations. thats the ballgame. early we have a short yardage situation where we are trying to draw betsy offside and jump ourselves. the biggest however is when we are 2nd goal at the 5 and jump. we have to kick a field goal instead of getting the 7 we had a chance to get if we dont jump. thats the ballgame. dont embarass our kids and coaches who work their butts off by making ignorant posts. we got beat in a great game. betsy beat us in a great high school football game. hats off to them. as far as the altercation between the elizabethton coach and our parent - it happened. first of all no betsy coach had any business hanging around in our lockerroom area and no parent had any business saying anything to a betsy coach. raiders - its a marathon not a sprint. the main gaol of every game is give yourself a chance to win, the main goal of regular season is give yourself a chance to make the playoffs, the main goal of the playoffs is to give yourself a chance to advance. come out ready to get better in practice monday. this game is over. cant do anything about it.

there was probably a few on the field for jv games. no different than anywhere else. sophomores. this website has been the number one motivational tool for our baseball team the last 4 years - people running their mouth is a great motivational tool. the secret is - losers talk - winners just play the game. north fans - as a north fan - shut up and play. from experience i can tell you this site provides great bulletin board material - dont let it come from us - it never has before.

another useless post on this thread. poor coaching.... im not a db fan at all.. but thats the most ignorant thing ive ever seen. get a clue before you post again.

todd caldwell - happy valley - etsu

soxfan - once again ignorance rules. you criticize db who undoubtedly has the best program around and then you criticize north who has never been mentioned in any other post - the topic is db. alot of respect for db from anybody at north that has a clue. not that we dont want to beat them and we do some but no hatred. they have a program that everybody else should strive for instead of ignorant jealousy. check north's record against aaa teams the last 3 years. you have no clue of anything you talk about. chances are if north has played you they've beat you.

if you say db has bad coaching you probably dont have a clue on any baseball related subject.

todd caldwell (lhp) from happy valley signed with etsu.

thats conference games only with trey. good luck to unicoi in your game against rutledge. id like to see two watauga conference schools in the sectionals. i enjoy competing against unicoi. coach bogart and his program are a class outfit that do things the right way - keep their mouth shut and just play. thats what winners do.

bamafan1010 sorry that a honest question led you into trash talk. read the article in the kingsport paper tomorrow for the truth. the last post was correct about trey's record and career and chris's batting average. NORTH PLAYERS - read but no more replying. we did not reply to this stuff all season - we just read and laughed and used this stuff all season for motivation. keep your mouth shut and let results do the talking like we have for 2 years.( 46 wins, 1st and 2nd district, 2 straight regional appearances, playing for 2 straight substate appearances - thats all that matters ) leave the talk for those who have nothing else to do. see you at practice. pigeon forge congratulations on a good season and a district championship. looking forward to what i hope is a great game monday. havent seen alot of talk from you all on here either or unicoi...........just winning.

seeds: 1. happy valley 2. north 3. unicoi 4. central 5. volunteer 6,7,8 not known until after todays dh sat. schedule: 12n unicoi vs. #6 3p north vs. winner 7 and 8 6p volunteer vs central sun. happy valley vs. vol/central winner 12n and 3p winners

Prayers from the Sullivan North baseball team.

lets see - 8 teams. that makes a pretty straight forward bracket. you get rewarded by playing number 8. we don't need the tournament if we just want to send people on without playing the one and done pressure games. thats what tournament time is all about. and by the way north finished first in baseball last year and voted against #1 getting a bye in baseball this year.

if there was an incident involving north and hampton i must have had amnesia that night and forgot about it. it would probably be best if you didnt discuss other schools on here since its obvious you dont have any facts. i dont know about hampton but there have been no incidents at north that led to any discussions of probation.

need to get your facts straight when talking about probations. if you have a player ejected from a game in any sport then you are placed on a list that the tssaa publishes. probation? if north was put on a probation it was a secret to us. i usually dont put myself in a position to respond to items on here but when its something backed with no facts than....

UNLESS PLANS CHANGED AFTER LUNCH, NORTH DID NOT PLAY ANY STARTERS IN THIS SCRIMMAGE.
