Good Luck to the Ad's today from the boys in upper east Tennessee. May not be the power team as in years past, but as a team they are getting the job done. Roll Tribe

Lets make that a Select vs Jr Topper rematch! How much fun could that be? Jr Toppers Daniel Norris Geoffrey Smith Zach Thompson Sam Tarlton Heath Lloyd Kevin Connell Nick Fair Joe Ganger? Kingsport Select Sean Seabolt Stephen Mullins Chase Cunningham Nathan Millsap Reid Mathews Ryan Lockhart Kevin Nelson Zak Ball Jake Bellamy Who have I left out that is still playing?

No question one of the best games I have ever had the pleasure to attend. And that kind of hurts being on the loosing end. Coach Wagner did a great job getting DB ready and Vestal pitched one whale of a game. How about DB stealing home? Wow! Some friends from Bristol came to watch the game with me. Was somewhat confused (and I am searching for the words here) that neither the DB or Science Hill fans didn't really cheer against the other team. Best I could explain was there is a great deal of respect between these 2 teams and many of these boys have played together or against each other since they where 9 years old. I want to see every player play there best and let the chips fall where they may. I think we saw that last night. I saw a lot of heart on both sides last night. I just hope the same energy will be there again next Tuesday.

Season opener @ Volunteer Tuesday the 15th and the home opener at The Fred on Wednesday the 16th vs. Central. Roll Tribe

The Tribe has a couple of scrimmages behind them and 2 more to go. Bats where a little flat in the first scrimmage but came alive in the second game. The pitching has been pretty good not giving up many hits or walks. The Tribe made a few mistakes in the 1st scrimmage ...but the 2nd scrimmage was much better. Not sure if any errors where made in the 2nd one. Alot of unknowns with pitching in the Big 8 this year. After the big names of Norris, Connell, Cunningham, Lloyd, Mullins and Craig ...who else is going to step it up. Could be the difference maker down the road. Looking forward to a Great Year in the Big 8.

41-0 at the half. Tribe! Roll tribe roll!

Ok this is not a knock on the kid. This is about the 4th time I have read a post like this. Please tell me why? Looks great in practice? Something he did last year I missed? Has there been a break out game sometime we missed? Stats: TD's: Yards: 40 speed: # INTS: INT VS Pass completion ratio:

There will be a plenty of spirits on my bus ride down!

Crockett is off this week Roll Tribe

"Under the new rule, bats with composite handles and tapers would still be legal. The stricter language applies primarily to the barrel of the bat." So can this be clarified ...with some examples like ..Demarini CF Series, Easton Stealth series..where would these bats fall...

Coach Warner is not a second rate coach no matter how you have qualified your program. And if it was a second rate program it will change. What better way to build a tradition than hire a guy who comes from one of the most storied high schools in America much less Tennessee. You got a very well seasoned and experienced canidate to head up your program. Coach Warner will work hard for the players and trust me that means a heck of alot today. He will coach them, teach them, make leaders of them. His is a strong role model and he does know baseball. Jeff Co. Baseball will be better for this hire.

If you have/are an unsigned prospect this is far and away the best bang for the bucks showcase in the area. Very well run and highly scouted.

A change to Rule 1-3-2 regarding bat specifications was made in the hope it will clarify bat compliance. The rule, which will be effective January 1, 2012, specifies that the bat should be a “smooth cylinder implement from the top of the cap to the top of the knob.” http://www.nfhs.org/content.aspx?id=2772
