Hawks, I guess that puts you playing Powell in the District Tourney. Who would rather play between Karns and Powell?

I believe it goes: 1) Halls 2) Ac 3) Karns 4) Powell 5) Oak Ridge 6) HVA 7) Clinton 8) Campbell County 9) Central Just some general observations or discussion topics, I'm not trying to bad mouth anyone: This district seems to be a simple case of have and have-nots and Halls def is in the 'have' dept. Can we just go ahead and give them the title? Powell seems to be under achieving given what they did last year and all all the preseason hype they received. What's going on there? AC is blessed with two pretty good lefties that will keep them in just abut any game. They'll be tough come tournament time with that 1-2 combo. Oak Ridge doesn't sound like the push over many people made them out to be. I've seen where they've had some pretty impressive wins. Schedule looked front loaded w the better teams in the district as far as who they played (could be the team to make a run and surprise some people). HVA is young and it's only a matter of time before they get it figured out. I give them 3 years and they'll be a perennial presence in the top of the district. The way they zone out is very interesting being right in the middle of Karns and FHS. It'll be interesting to see how those two programs are affected down the road when students don't have a choice. Clinton has been decimated by injuries and they weren't that deep to begin with, which is unfortunate because they were playing some really good ball in the beginning of the year and surprising some people. Central gives me a heavy heart. A program with such rich baseball tradition has to sit and watch all their good players go to Halls and Powell.

From what I gathered from a post I saw earlier on here, the Guymns were told they had to act right and they chose to quit instead. I don't know the OR Coach but he seems to do a good job with the talent he is given, which isn't much. I think baseball in Oak Ridge is probably the last thing kids go out for. That will be and always has been a football school. Heck, it seems like that school does pretty well in just about every sport so I'm sure he has to scrape the barrel just to field a team. Does anyone know where the SS is going? He seems like a decent small school pick up with some habits that could be fixed with the right college coach.
