I spoke with some parents last night and was told Bein was on the bench because he didnt get the bunt down in Friday night's game. The Falletta kid was on the bench because he slammed his bat down on the ground after a line drive out. The Sistrunk kid was on the bench because he swung at the first pitch after the coach told him not to. The Grider kid is no longer on the team because of a senior prank. Does it all really matter though Franklin? It sounds like Bill M finally got to put the final nail in your coffin by losing to Ravenwood last night. Not only does he get to knock you out of the tournament, but if you were to some way beat him, you have to beat Rav twice now. Good luck Franklin! You will need it.

Indy won 1st game 8-4 at Rav. Rav won 2nd game 3-2 at INdy. Rubber match and district title game tonight at Rav.

Bwood won 5-0

So here is an interesting question to debate. I a one game elimination, who do you want on the mound; Ray from B-Wood or Miller from Indy? Does anyone know how the district tourny will play out this year since only 6 teams? Seeds are all but set. Indy/Raven 1 and 2 (no particulare order), B-wood 3, Frank/Cent 4-5, and Hills 6. In years past it has been 2 four team brackets, double elim on each side with two winners coming out. No chance of playing team from other bracket in years past.

Rebel4life, Do you mean to say that the Falletta kid did not pitch, knowing they had to win all three to get the three seed in the tournament? Would he not have been their best chance to win against Ray? If that is the case, is that just a case of a poor coaching decision? Does anyone know how the brackets will work this year in 11aaa with only 6 teams?

I actually was able to go to the Rebels/Indy game last night. I had to witness first hand what all the hype and talk was about. DT pitched a great game for Indy. Franklin just flat out is not good. They cant hit, period. I talked to a Rebel parent that said in batting practice, they bunt for 15-20 min, then each player gets two swings. I think they need to re-look at that plan maybe. In the top of the 7th, with Franklin down 9-1, they did execute a great sacrifice bunt to move a runner from 1st to 2nd though. Game ends 9-2. Little doesn't start in field, bats in the 9 spot, and gets pulled out of game after only batting once. Raley has only hit of game through 4 innings, and gets pulled out of game. Does the coach of Franklin actually know anything about baseball? The comment about Cent being better is 99% true. The only way Franklin is better is if Falletta is on the mound. He is there only chance of winning. Does anyone know where he going to school and if he is going to try and play ball? Who pitched for Ravenwood last night and what was the score?

Cent did dominate Hills. 17-4 or something in that range. Hills had two hits, both homeruns. Same guy hit both. As for Indy/Franklin, I was told Miller dominated, but Falletta was right behind him. Two errors by Franklin gave Indy all three runs. One throwing error on a pick off by Falletta, and a throwing error by Raley on a dropped third strike. Great pitchers game from what I heard. What is wrong with Josh Lee? He didn't play the field and struck out three times? Who pitched for Ravenwood last night?

No dog in fight at Franklin. I completely agree with you about Indy, Rav, and Brent. End of year series between Indy and Rav should be great. Franklin sounds like they will be lucky to have a team by year end.

What is wrong with Franklin? Coaching, coaching, coaching! The kids don't want to play for him. The rumor is that after the game last night, the boys were told they were garbage by the coaching staff, and the coach didnt even let them back in the locker room. Sounds like there are some serious issues in Rebelnation. Bold prediction here: Brentwood sweep Rebels, Indy sweep Rebels, and HILLSB gets one off Rebs!!!!!! Sad part is, they have good kids over there.
