I bet that Bob and Rob Black just smiled when the Greeneville players showed their butts and jumped up and down on the Falcon at midfield. I also bet that the Greeneville coach that was out at midfield laughing while it was going on.......is no longer laughing.

One of the Oak Ridge coaches told me that they play A.C. Monday. Not sure, but I think that might be right because A.C. won and O.R. lost on Friday, and usually that's the case. You might check that.

Who else won today?

Would someone post the tournament schedule on here?

Great post! I'm just not sure that "travel ball" is as much to blame for it as the parents are. I think you can find a good balance between the two if you use some common sense. The problem is when the parents are engulfed by it and don't let it be their kid's time. Halls lost a ton of seniors last year but Doug is a great coach. I promise they will be competitive.

Powell beat Fulton at their place tonight by 11. They led by 14 for a while but then it seemed like the stripers started trying to keep it close.

Maybe he'll just stay for the softball....LOL

Well what will the excuse be this year?

Last year, Powell LB Colby Skeen drilled the West QB in the back on the first play of the game and it seemed like it set the tone for the entire game. It looked like Francis heard footsteps for quite a while after that. The Panther defense was relentless that entire game. If Devin Scott, Sharron Moore, and the rest of the defensive front can apply that kind of pressure Friday, it will be a long night for the Rebels.Go Panthers!

Pretty sure Sevier County plays Jefferson County.....Is that one on WVLT?

Does anyone know which game is going to be televised on WVLT (Knoxville) this Friday?

Does anyone know if this game is going to be televised?

Taylor decided to go the JUCO route....signed with Vol State.

These are only the ones that I know of: Wil Crowe (Pigeon Forge) South Carolina, Andrew Lee (Morristown West) Tennessee, Trey York (Bearden) ETSU, A.J. Simcox (Farragut) Tennessee, Colby Skeen (Powell) Walters State, Grant Painter (Halls) Walters State, Ronnie Broyles (Bearden) Walters State, Nick Senzel (Farragut) Georgia, and Jake Farr (Jefferson County) Walters State.

From this morning's Knoxville News Sentinel: Coaches' Picks: The Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association (TBCA) selected a combined 13 players from the PrepXtra coverage area to its all-state teams. The TBCA released a first team and second team, which were all-inclusive for the state's classifications. Area players making first team were Wil Crowe (Pigeon Forge), Andrew Lee (Morristown West), Colton Bales (Jefferson County), Jake Johnson (Sequoyah), Trey York (Bearden), A.J. Simcox (Farragut), Colby Skeen (Powell) and Ben Whisler (Seymour). PrepXtra players making second-team all state were Grant Painter (Halls), Ronnie Broyles (Bearden), Isaac Allen (Rockwood), Nick Senzel (Farragut) and Jake Farr (Jefferson County). Congrats to all!

FYI....While I agree with almost your entire post, Powell has only been run-ruled once this season. However, they did go in the tank in a hurry that game.

Great post! I agree that Halls is the favorite. They are playing good ball right now. Great win against Science Hill Friday night. Big game coming up for Powell and HVA Monday night. Should be a great tournament!

This is what I gather so far, from the information I've been given. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Tournamant starts Friday, May 4th #1 Halls will host #8 (most likely Campbell Co.) #4 Oak Ridge vs #5 Clinton #2 Winner of Powell/HVA will host #7 Karns #3 Loser of Powell/HVA vs #6 A.C. After the first 2 days, the remainder of the tournament will be at Halls.

Halls clinched the #1 seed tonight by defeating Karns. Powell and HVA will finish their rained-out game Mon at 7 (tied 0-0 top of 4) Winner of that game is #2 seed and loser is #3 seed. Oak Ridge looks to be the #4 seed. Clinton defeated A.C. tonight so they are the #5 seed. A.C. is the #6 seed. I think Karns is the #7 seed. I think Campbell Co. is the #8 seed. In the Powell/HVA game so far: D. Owenby has given up 1 hit. HVA tried to squeeze home a run but the runner was out at the plate. Wiler has given up 3 hits. Powell has left 5 men on base so far. Skeen has 2 Doubles and been left on both times, and they left bases loaded in the 2nd.

I know Ledbetter had 3 hits including a HR and 2 RBIs for Powell, and Skeen had 2 Triples and a Double with 4 RBIs. I am almost positive it was HVAs 3RD Baseman. Fielden maybe?

Powell defeated HVA 11-7 tonight. Hagen Owenby pitched 6 good innings and led 11-1 going in to the 7th. Hagen got a little tired and gave up some runs including a grand slam in the 7th before Colby Skeen came in and closed. Will OR pitch Lane against Halls on 3 days rest?

Powell 11 HVA 7

Standings: Powell................12-2(plays HVA 2 times this week) Halls...................11-2(plays OR once and Karns twice this week) HVA....................2 losses(plays Powell 2 times this week) O.R.....................5 losses(still has Halls to play) A.C.....................? Clinton...............?(playing better) Karns.................? Campbell Co......? Central...............? I think Powell, Halls, and HVA are 1,2, and 3. Order TBD this week. OR probably 4th. Not sure between AC and Clinton about 5 and 6. Karns probably 7th. Campbell Co. probably 8th.

I was going to start a Powell/HVA thread, but after reading all the garbage and disrespect on here from a couple of HVA fans, I decided against it. Sorry

I was very impressed with Jordan Lane (Oak Ridge) the other night. He went all 7 innings and held Powell to 1 run on 3 hits and had 9 Ks. He kept the Panthers off balance all night long. Powell got the much needed win 1-0 behind the pitching of Drake Owenby (5IP, 2 hits, 9 Ks) and Colby Skeen (2 IP, 0 hits, 4 Ks). That was the first time I have had the chance to see Lane pitch. It will be a tough draw to have to play Oak Ridge first round of the 3AAA tourney.
