Let me rephrase that. I didn't mean "waste their time" thats just the way I talk. sorry. Small colleges will go after the average players because they know that the good ones are already gone to bigger and better schools. Once small colleges learn that a bigger school was interested in them, they back -off and try for the next player. i.e. small colleges were talking to my son every weekend until they learned that a Div. 1 school was wanting him. They could have said to him "if you're still interested in us, please call us". Good luck to you and your son.

My honest opnion would be that your son play summer ball on a good team that will be playing at colleges and universities. Also he may want to attend some showcases to show college scouts what he has to offer. I would have to say that it would be tough getting into a college or university witout being All-District or something eqivalent. Only very small colleges waste their time on average players. Thats just my opinion and what I've learned in the last 2 years.

Nobody from Central on the list either

Here is the 3-AAA All-District Team. Anderson Co.- Taylor Durand, Daniel Newman, Brycen Roberts, Hunter Tackett Clinton- Nathan Bingham Campbell Co- Andrew Dykes, Lance Webber Halls- Bryce Beeler, Grant Painter, Thomas Corcione, Austin Smith Hardin Valley- Clay Fielden, Elliot Whitt Oak Ridge- Chavez Golden, Jordan Lane Powell- Jeremy Latham, Drake Owenby, Hagen Owenby, Cory Payne, Jordan Sanford, Colby Skeen. Pitcher of the Year--- Drake Owenby Player of the Year--- Bryce Beeler Way to go guys!

Halls beat Anderson Co. 10-0 will play Powell Monday @ 7:30. Oak Ridge beat Clinton 8-7 and will play Harden Valley Tuesday @ 5:00

The All -District team was in the News-Sentinel last year. It had all their pictures posted and their stats.

It must have been yesterday (Wednesday) because they have the All-District and MVP selected.

Halls will play Clinton at 5 pm and Anderson Co. will play Oak Ridge at 7;30 May 6th @ Halls

Does anyone see a upset in this district before Halls and Powell square off? who's the favorite?

It would be an honor to play for great coaches such as Hochaver and Smith. I know my son loved playing for Coach Hoch.

Just wondering what are your predictions and why are some teams losing games they should be winning. Pitching seems to be the difference on the bottom teams.

This happened in a tournament on Saturday but the umpire they had on Thursdays game Ok'd to use it. Played a game yesterday against a kid using a comp bat and after long discussions and 2 illegal bat lists, they ok'd him to use it. They all will be using the same dead bats next year so enjoy.

Halls is scrimmaging @ Gibbs today at 12:00. Should be a great day for it. Never got to play each other last year, but it's only a scrimmage. But its BASEBALL!

This is some info that came from Anderson County: "Our top two pitchers are pitching well. We lost a kid, Nate Thomas, who'd be our number three pitcher. Right now it looks like it'll either be Blake Lafferty or Daniel Newman. Mikey Mullins, a transfer from Clinton, is hitting the ball well. He can catch but he'll probably play 3B. Trinity Carroll, a senior who played SS last year might be moved to OF and a true freshman, Hunter Tackett, is getting some serious looks to start at SS, but Carroll might end up staying there and Tackett start in the OF. We'll miss the sticks of Carter Pack (1B) who is at LMU now and Taylor Foster (3B) who is at Vol State. Matthew Walker will start again at catcher. He has signed with Roane State. Bryson Roberts is still hitting it well."
