I'm a MTCS fan and believe you are very mistaken and overlooking an excellent team. Yes, they have lost some talent, but definitely not all of it. Seniors Beckham and Hendrix will step up to the plate and show excellent leadership as well as continuing to make excellent plays. They are continuing to fill the gaps of the few people they lost, and it's looking good for the cougars. As far as ranking Forrest and Cascade 1st and 2nd in the district, i beg to differ. MTCS beat Forrest 3 times last year. Forrest lost their dominate pitcher and although they'll be a good team, I don't see anything outstanding. Cascade will for sure be ranked 1st with talent like MoMo, but closely followed by MTCS at 2nd. As far as the Rockets, I would not be surprised to see them at number 3.

Cascade and MTCS are the teams to beat.

Forrest and MTCS played 4 times last year with both teams winning 2 games. So that is not 3 wins for MTCS. Cascade, Forrest, and MTCS should be the top three teams. How they finish who knows thats why they play the games. Good luck to all the teams this year.

Forrest in this one.

let's not forget one TD run got called back from a late flag and the one dropped pass that should of been caught that probably would have scored. Great job Rockets!

QUOTE(CUBCADET @ May 8 2007 - 11:08 PM) 826455065[/snapback]Dont know.... for sure if he was really given an error in the OFFICIAL scorebook or just the one being kept by FHS bookkeeper in dugout or sidelines.

 

DO know... for sure that the shortstop was not "camped out" under the high fly ball. He just barely got his feet stable under him when the ball hit his glove and fell to the ground.. Did not hear him calling the other fielders off..absolutely sure this was not a routine play for the shortstop to make...

 

DO know... for sure that more than likely in any other game except a dist or reg tourn game, Coach Hardison WOULD HAVE BEEN ejected probably in the first inning but if not, most definitely in the last inning when he went ballistic. He was asked several times to please calm down , to quit screaming, and the ump crew would make sure the call on the field was correct. Finally, when he would not stop arguing and wanting to protest a call he should have known was not a protestable call in the first place, he was confined to the dugout by the base umpire. Probably would have best just to eject him then anyway...

 

DO HAVE ... one thought I would like receive some analysis on...How about the umpires getting to call time and run over to the coaches, screaming and ranting and raving, each and every time they see a great baseball coach do something they think is "stupid" or to use the words of a lot of coaches 'horrible, just horrible"like send a runner who gets thrown out by a mile or lets a runner take off without tagging up, or gives the bunt sign when the ump thinks that is not the thing to do at this time, or puts on the hit and run at the wrong time, left his pitcher in too long, or just whenever the ump thinks the coach has screwed up on with any little part of his job??? I would like to think the coach might not enjoy having someone like that " jump up his butt" in your own words. Do you or any coach that you know????? I think that would be hilarious, dont you? Do you think he would just stand there and be ridiculed like that and not do anything about it? I KNOW THAT NONE OF THE COACHES WOULD LIKE THAT!!!!But it is OK for a coach to try to make a fool out of an umpire whenever he thinks he needs to??? I think NOT?

 

DO NOT think there would be enough room up in "you know where" for the umpire because SOME of the coaches seem to have their heads up thiers sometimes...NOT ALL but some of them...

 

What about it, Jody72...do you agree?

You don't know squat!!!!!

The kid last year that tech falled Morgan from Smyrna was Pher Dedman. Bye the way, Pher didn't place at state! Pher this one is for you!

Dedman beat Abrigo by either 2 or 4 pts. He did not tech him.

Who said Region 6 was weak ? 3 - 1 over Region 5. Rockets I'll give you credit for not givin up without a fight though if mTp played better than what they did it wouldn't have been close. We have got to eliminate those penalties or it could cost us in the end. Good job tigers to maintain and win but we've definitely got to get more focused and more disciplined, it gets tougher the further we go.

Don't say it wouldn't have been close. Both teams had penalties that hurt. There were 2 interceptions that should have been caught by the Rockets with open field in front of them and also a touchdown pass that got dropped by our tightend. Mount pleasant also made mistakes as well. It was a good game but as always you can't make mistakes and expect to win against a good team. Good luck to Mt. Pleasant. Also, Rockets great year it was a lot of fun.

Both teams are good football teams. Cascade played better than Forrest last night , "Period!" end of story. Forrest made to many mistakes along with some bad decisions when they had the ball and against a good team you can't do that. It just wasn't our night.

Sorry if you think I'm full of BS, I don't even have a kid on the team. That is not a very nice thing to say about someone you don't even know. I'm just a person from Chapel Hill who is proud of all that these guys have done this year, and been honored to watch them make many of their great strides (like setting those records at the state torunament.) I'll say again, congratulations McKenzie, glad your players played with class. You are a very good baseball team. Rockets, thanks for the memories. We really appreciate your time and devotion to our Alma Mater. Congratulations also to Huntingdon and Lookout Valley. It took determination to get to the "elete eight". It was a great trip to the "big dance", and nothing shameful about being runner-up! Thanks again, Rockets!

very well said

be gracious winners??? lovethoserockets....yall are a real fine bunch to talk about being gracious and sportsmanlike...yall are as a team the most arrogant/cocky team ive seen...if yall would have won, everyone would have heard bout yalls win and how great minor is.....well im just glad yall didnt win where none of us have to hear about it...and no one cares if he has lost velocity or not...unearned or earned all anyone has heard from yall is that he throws no hitters and that next to God he is the next best thing...congrats to mckenzie and even though i was pulling for a mid-state team to win..im real glad it wasnt forrest

You're full of it, full of what I will not say. Those boys are not arrogant or cocky. I take offense to that statement. You may here fans talk smack at games or even write smack on this website but remember those are the fans not the players. There are fans of many teams who talk smack or write smack and every once in a while you will get a player or two to write smack about one another but usually its the fans. Mckenzie deserved to win they had great pitching, made the plays when they needed to along with timely hitting, period.

On the final score or on how many walks Minor gives up due to his recent quote in the papers.....

 

McKenzie 4 Forrest 3

I don't think so! Forrest in a close one.

Excuse me didn't mean to say Again. Minor may be ready but that may not be enough.

We will see you guys still have to get by Summertown. Don't under estimate them they are a good team. Just like we will not be under estimating Huntington. People can get on here and say what they want but the games still have to be played.

Forest better hope they don't run into McKenzie again. That will be about the time hayes is ready to go again.

Face McKenzie again, they have never played one another. If it is McKenzie and Forrest don't you think Minor will be ready as well.

Prayers sent from Chapel Hill (Forrest)

I heard gametime is 7:30 because of the Lady Rocket softball game at 5:30, but I am not positive about that. Vultor or daa could tell for sure.

Yes, game time is 7:30pm

No particular game. Just the whole pitching staff does not seem to be as strong as last year. Did they lose alot of senior pitchers from last year?

As strong as last year, that doesn't make sense they won more games with this years team than last years team.

Mondays game is a must win game. If you lose you are done. Wednesdays game is for the Regional Championship. You can lose that game and you are still in it. The teams that win the Region get to host Fridays game the loser must travel. Looking at the brackets on TSSAA, the winner of NCS/Cascade get to host the Wednesday game.

Actually Minor's batting Avg. was .506 and yes along with the 13 get outs before the District Tour. That's pretty darn good if I say so myself.

The coaches first thought it was at 7pm Sat. but then they told me today it is at 4:30pm instead.

The game is at Middle Tenn. Christian in Murfreesboro.

Great job Rockets winning the regular season District 9A. Lets keep it going in the District Tourney. Good luck boys. Also, for you Rocket fans the coaches told me that we play Sat. night at 7pm at MTC. That is our first game is the District Tourney.

Daniel Albarran from Forrest is as solid as they come. He calls his own games, great blocker and his pop time has been under 2. He is batting .477 and 3 HRs so far this season. Good luck at Maryville College next year.

Forrest, Summertown, Columbia Academy, and Mt. Pleasant.

Hands down, Pageman !!!!!

Great recap of the game Pageman. It was a pleasure getting to meet and talk to you. I wish your team the best, you have good young men on your team and I'm not just talking baseball.

I was at the game and yes the umps strikezone was not consistent but he called it the same for both teams. It was not one-sided.
