Especially the pitching?

A difference of opinion. I would have said the same thing at the beginning of the year and Justin is still pitching well, but after losing to BGA in the first region series of the year, Drew has beaten JP, BA, Davidson, MBA, Ensworth and BGA in a row. 5 of those 6 in complete games and has given up 9 total runs in the 6 games.

With all due respect, you must be joking? You have 5 players from MBA and they finished 4th. You have 4 players from BA and they finished 3rd. You have 2 from Ryan and they beat BGA twice in the tourney to get the 1 seed and you have 1 from BGA and they won the regular season. MBA was 2-7 this year against BA,BGA and Ryan and you give them more spots than anybody? Please. You also don't have Ryan's best pitcher listed. Drew Brown is Ryan's best pitcher right now and beat Miller and Bass with complete games in the last 2 weeks.

It was double elimination. BA lost the first game to JP2 to drop into the losers bracket. They then eliminated Ensworth and MBA. They lost to BGA in the losers bracket final and finished the region tournament 2-2 and got the third seed from the middle region. BGA finished 3-2 and got the second seed and Father Ryan finished 4-0 and will have the one seed.

I'm going with Ryan Cox for Div 1 boys. In Div 2 either Rand Woodson or Eric Dennison.

Who will win Div 1 and 2, boys and girls?

Missouri Bowler, don't pay any attention to catscratcher, she's in the 3rd grade. For the 5th time.

And schools that don't have bowlers now, may have them in the future.

Division 2 scores aren't as bad as you make out. McCallie shot 3559 in the finals last year. That would not have won division 1, but if you line up their scores with the Hixson scores from last years finals Hixson would have won (17.5-9.5). That's closer than Hixson came to Smyrna in the finals (19.5-7.5). That's also better than Dobyns Bennett shot in their match (3508) , better than Mt Juliet in their 2 matches (3557 and 3498), better than both of Hendersonvilles scores (3417 and 3544), better than Cumberland Gap ( 3059) and almost as good as Brighton ( 3597 ). The year before that McCallie won Division 2 with a 3788 and Baylor shot a 3549 to lose the final match. In case your calculator is broke, 3788 is not mediocre. 3 years ago Christian Brothers shot 3519 in the finals to win Division 2 and Hendersonville shot 3560 to win Division 1. 41 pins difference in 18 games or about 2.2 pins per bowler. Division 1 is better than 2, and deeper. But the winners of division 2 the last 3 years would be competiive against Div 1 and those scores were not mediocre and that's not debatable. And where in the heck did you get a score of 2500? Thats an average of 138 per game. If they ever do break it down into A,AA and AAA and the A wins with a 2500, or anywhere close to that, I'll buy you the ball and bag of your choice.

I'ts good to see 3rd graders taking an interest in high school sports. Do you want to be a bowler when you grow up?

The TSSAA website has it posted now.

Very few teams have coaches that are good teachers of the game. It is nice to have a good coach, but anyone willing to show up for the matches will do in order for the kids to be able to participate.

Classy post. I'm sure your team mate appreciates that.

Pba Kid, Father Ryan finished 18-0 and will be the #1 seed from the middle region. The other 2 from the middle will probably be MBA and JP. None of the middle region teams will challenge for the state title.
