Spear you must be one of the most negitive person around I bet your family don't even like you . Every time someone post about Coach Bridges you get on here and post something negitive nobody wants to hear you jealous remarks. He may put on a show sometimes ,but I guantee that he has forgot more about baseball than you will ever know. If you want to bring that attitude to the field come on.

Coach Joe Bridges ( aka Mighty Joe) Ripley High.

Ringors

No not any of the starting rotation pitched except for one junior that is trying to work his way in the mix . USJ looks as strong as I've seen them in a long time. Maybe with all the pub. they have been getting was a pick me up. Also alot of speed.

I agree I saw them last night and was very impressed with the power from 1 through 9 hitters defense looks good and pitching could be their key. They had two kids come in and threw some real good heat. I would pick them to beat most 3A teams.

I don't know what the score actually was ,but USJ put alot of runs on the board Ripley did not pitch any starters . USJ has probably the best hitting team they ever had . They had two pitchers that came in and threw some gas also . Overall I look for them to take it all this year. Very impressed

I believe the West is by far the strongest in this division. You have at least two teams out of each region that will be strong this year. To say which one will win I wouldn't have a clue , but I do believe that that team( state champs) will come from the west .

Khayan Norfork SS And Danny Joe Edenfield 2nd Ripley Tigers

Ripley is in the top 10 . the grass is top notch along with the green team. I can remember when this field hardley had any grass at all and the dugouts were a 5x12 cage with no outfield fence. This field has come a long way . Coach Bridges also puts alot of time to make sure it stays that way.

Ripley's Clint Conrad Who also pitched for Dulins this past summer.

We'll keep the family and freinds in our prayers from Ripley Tn. God Bless.

What are the final stats on these finalist ?

The rumor about Coach Mac has been going around for at least a year or more . I don't see him leaving here at this time. I think this rumor started from a parent that couldn't tell him how to run his program. If he does leave ( hope not ) we will come back and regroup and support the team like always. He has built a winning program back, just look at the record before he came here and the attendance of people that have came back after years not following Ripley football anymore.

Covington has alot better team .

Covington will smoke Kingsbury their Qb tries to run all the time they are no match for ya'll . Covington 36 Kingsbury 14

when will this change take place? will this years baseball team go ahead and stay the way it was or the new classification take place ?

I agree Coach Mac. done an excellent job with this very young team. This team should be better next year returning several players with more experience, but in a very very tough region. Calls like this at least should have been discussed by all the officals on the field as soon as the call was made the officals ran off the field.An a explaination should have been given to the coaches.

Blake McAdams should win 3A Mr Football

Can you protest high school games ?

That is pitafull that they ref a game while they are impaired that also impaired their judgement on calls. Oh well we will try again next year.

I would like to say that I am very proud of the Ripley Tigers they played well all year . the defense really stepped up compared to the start of the season and to all the seniors that will be gone good luck in everything you do, ya'll done a good job no one expected Ripley to go as far as they did , because of the class that had left us previous we were young and had very little experience
