FARRAGUTADGRAD

If you read, I said tournament games. Not district. And get real, if you think teams now compare at all to teams in those years you're crazy. Tell me, do we have any teams like Bartlett's 07? Farragut's 03-04? South Doyle's 07? Oakland's 03? DB 06? Farragut's 08-09? Collierville 06? Bearden 08? No. Those teams were FULL of talent. This year, you're lucky to find 4-5 kids who are going to play college ball. Simple observation.

Yes, the whole state is down. Put this year's most talented team up against the best team from 03-09 and they'd get run-ruled. The golden era of TN high school baseball has passed. Sure, you still have your individual studs on some teams like Norris, Pfeifer, Connell, Delmonico, etc. But there aren't those teams who are stacked from top to bottom i.e. Farragut, Bartlett, Collierville, DB, Riverdale, Oakland, Bearden, etc used to be year after year. I would say 03-09 were the best years in TN high school baseball EVER. During those years, you could be in your 4th game of a tournament and face guys signed to college throwing mid 80's. Now, you play your fourth game with freshman pitchers who normally play JV. Heck, during 03-09 teams looked more like college teams than high school. Sad, but true.

That was a literal question. Would've enjoyed to see the post game celebration.

Cool story, bro. Are you guys getting a trophy made?

Probably got some freshman pitchers some experience from what I heard. Got a couple a district games next week. Still no excuse to give up 17 runs to DC. Pitchers are going to have to step up this year, after Pfeifer, Chandler, and Taylor there is not much depth there.

Farragut 2-0 over Columbia. Pfeifer gets the CG 1 hit shutout with 12 k's, and sets the state record for career wins. Farragut 10-1 over Blackman. Derek Chandler goes the distance in the win. Looks like today's games are going to get rained out.
