UC is a contender, but has to handle the foes in their region (Lake County, West Carroll, McKenzie, Bruceton) before thinking about a state title. Plus, there are some very bumpy roads to a 1A crown this year - JCS, Trousdale Co and a few others. It's not a cake walk by any means. Good luck to Coach Fishel and the Tornadoes tonight against Westview and all season!

I've been away too long...Opperman and I are in total agreement!

They play Monday.

Dyer County 10 Westview 9 Region 7AA tournament - Monday Westview at Ripley Covington at Dyer County

Nevermind...Huntingdon 15 Bruceton 5

Scores from yesterday and schedule for today? Anyone?

I believe Henry County faces Dickson County today and the winner plays Clarksville for the title on Thursday. I may have the dates wrong...if so, someone correct me.

Is the game today or Thursday?

Is the championship game today? If so, what is the match-up?

Anyone with the info, please post. Thanks!

Well to start the tournament I would have ranked the teams this way: 1. Dyer County 1. Union City 3. Crockett County 3. Westview 5. Gibson County 6. Obion County Central Upsets always happen in a tournament and one did occur on the first day with OC beating UC. Now, the question is which teams will move on?!? I still pick Dyer County to be in the region...the second pick is tough. I want to say UC - they have a tough road ahead of them having to win 3 games in the four days...I believe they can do it. After all, I've coached most of those kids and have seen them come out the loser's bracket before. If not UC, it wouldn't surprise me to see Crockett & Dyer Counties in the finals...but, Westview is my pick. The Chargers have just a bit more pitching than Crockett County. Plus, a solid shortstop in Belote and excellent speed with Guy. Other intangibles: Obion County Central has my congratulations for the 1st round win over UC, but I am concerned about their pitching depth in a tournament. The key for them though, they're playing on their field...John Buchanan's Rebels always play well on their home turf. Gibson County has impressed me this season with some of their victories and Chris Messer deserves a pat on the back for moving that squad in the right direction. But, and there's always a but, I have concerns about their offense and defense. The pitching ranks up there with everyone's in the district.

Dizzy Dean used to drive the teachers in St. Louis crazy because his use of the English language was so southern. "He slud into third..." things like that. Dizzy thought about quitting for awhile because he thought he was not setting a good example for young students, but the fans came to his defense and he stayed. A good ole boy from Arkansas, is still a favorite to discuss in St. Louis.

Don't forget about Tony Kubek with Scully and Garagiola.

Anyone have a district 10AAA bracket?

Anyone have a schedule for the 10AAA tournament?

Amen!

I believe Jon Miller is with the San Francisco Giants - he left the Orioles about 6 years ago...unless he rejoined them this season.

bump

1. Pujols was hit in forearm region I believe. 2. Yes, it hit him on the toe. 3. Oh, yes, they looked like strikes. But, that's part of the game. Great pitching from both squads throughout the weekend...both offenses shut down for the most part.

Tuesday - 5/3 G1 4:30 Westview vs Gibson County G2 7:00 Union City vs Obion County Central Thursday - 5/5 G3 4:30 Dyer County vs Winner G1 G4 7:00 Crockett County vs Winner G2 Friday - 5/6 G5 4:30 Loser G1 vs Loser G4 G6 7:00 Loser G2 vs Loser G3 Saturday - 5/7 G7 4:30 Winner G5 vs Winner G6 G8 7:00 Winner G3 vs Winner G4 Monday - 5/9 G9 5:00 Loser G8 vs Winner G7 Tuesday - 5/10 G10 4:30 Winner G8 vs Winner G9 G11 7:00 Winner G8 vs Winner G9 (If Necessary)

15A: 1. Dresden 2. Gleason 3. South Fulton 4. Greenfield

Cards injury report - Izzy Injury

Dyer County and Union City play today in Newbern...I believe the game will not affect the final standings, but I could be wrong. 1. Dyer County 7-2 2. Crockett County 7-3 3. Union City 5-4 4. Westview 5-5 5. Gibson County 3-7 6. Obion County Central 2-8 Dyer County wins tie-breaker because of the head to head w/CC. UC wins tie-breaker because of the most runs scored in the series with Westview (at least that's what I'm told). Obion County Central will play host to the 13AA tournament beginning next week - May 3rd - 11th.
