Was able to get there during the rain delay in time to see Gordonsville go ahead and stay ahead for the rest of the day. Greenback had a good pitcher I felt like, one of the better we have seen this year. The Huntingdon gave was a blowout that got interesting but glad to see the Tigers pull it out in the end. This lower bracket was loaded with great teams!

Are the games on time today, or will there be a delay?

They typically announce all the players and coaches before the National Anthem, that's about it.

Part of the fun in High School baseball is seeing who gets hot at the end of the year. In baseball, the best team doesn't always win, that's what makes the sport so great. The TSSAA used to have a solution to the riding one arm scenario, and that was requiring you to win the Region Championship, instead of it being a seeding game. I would be in favor of this coming back, but the TSSAA would then only have 4 teams in the state assuming the sectional game stayed an elimination game as well, and they'd lose all that precious gate money. The current format is more like the college tournaments and I think that is why it became so popular. The new pitching rule will be very interesting to see how each team attacks or tries to exploit. This year the teams with the biggest stable of arms will likely get far provided they can score enough to keep the lead.

Looks like some did but kept them on pitch counts. I'd be willing to bet there will be some high scoring games on Wednesday as people throw off, or throw Johnny All-Staff to get to Friday with most of their good guys ready to go.

The above post discussing Gordonsville needs to be removed.

Smithke, it's easy to play the what if game. One of your "hits" was misplayed by the left fielder and should have been an out but resulted in your first run. Two more runs scored when your hitters rolled over on change ups but hit them in the hole enough to score runs. Another run got into scoring position because of a ball misplayed in center and that run scored on a sac fly. So there's 4 runs you didn't deserve but got any way. One or Two more hitters reached base on swinging bunts. Instead of playing the what if game, just realize Gordonsville won the game because they played better and harder. BBS overlooked Gordonsville and it came back to bite them. Gordonsville smoked several balls as well, right at people. Hats off to BBS, great season. They have some really good players and the game was fun to watch. One suggestion though, teach your fans to not be so personal and stop yelling out kids names during the game. Very bush league there.

Congrats to both teams, and especially Gordonsville!

The game will be in Memphis. Several at Trezevant wanted the game moved because of the money they would make from a much bigger gate at Lexington that would go a long ways towards helping their program. But, some of the higher ups in the Memphis School system simply wouldn't let it happen. The TSSAA said for the two schools to work out who would host, they weren't forcing anything on anyone. They didn't care because they would get their part of the money anyways.

No official word yet. I would say it needs to be worked out by tuesday or it will need to stay in Memphis.

I heard this from someone at Lexington HS.

I heard today there is an outside chance the game gets moved to Lexington.

Game is in Memphis. You are right soloman, it is the first time the two schools have met since 1987 and Xavier Crawford ran for like 10 gozillion yards against us.

Congrats to the Big Red! See you next week! I'm an Ambassador for the Blue Cross Bowl and I'll have your game!

Yep! And Jim's son Russ is on this Lexington team. David Deberry, Johnny McAdams, etc. That team was loaeded. I still remember the quarterfinal win at Brentwood Academy, and the Semi loss to Humboldt. Both were great games.

This should be a good game, but I think Lexington pulls it out in the end. I've seen White House play this year, and while they are very good, I think Lexington is a little better, plus playing at home will give them more of an edge. White House has great tradition and some really good players have played there through the years. The Sullins boys from Cottontown come to mind as two good un's that played at White House. It would be great to see the Big Red back in the Semi-Finals for the first time since 1979. Any Tiger Fans know who was the Quarterback on the 1979 team?

This AA Tournament is WIDE open. For the first time in several years, there is no clear cut favorite. One thing is for certain, some teams are coming that can really swing the bats.
