Very interesting viewpoint. I will agree that Smyrna is a very good team and has a lot of good players returning and they should be very good with Swafford, Stricklin, Freeman, and Wolcotte leading the way. I am sure they have others as well. Blackman is still very talented as they return 5 starters from last year. Skipwoth, Hamby, Snider, Martin, Gilmore are to name a few. Parker does a great job getting his players to play. Riverdale does have the most experience returning and should make a run. I would disagree with you on hitting being their strength. How could you know anything about Riverdale and think their strength would be offense? They have many,many arms iin King, Snider, Sutton, Westberry, May, Adams etc... as far as the comment that they have always been talented yes they have but to the point that they shouldve done more with it-tend to disagree-last year was best team and they lost to columbia 1-0 in regions. Siegel will be very talented with Stockstille, Moss, Sloan and other lh pitcher Scultz-revis does an awesome job. Oakland was senior heavy last year and they are gone, still have newman, sanderson, ward. Lavergne will be better because of age and darnelle will do a great job with them and i hear a mitchelll is helpinig them oach with pitchers. It all comes down to performing on the field does not matter whats on paper. Looking at your pevious post you are obviously emotionally tied to pitching and to blackman/riverdale somehow---maybe holding grudge somewhere along the way-but def off in your assessments of Pitchers. But thats what makes this board good for people like you and me we can get on here and go undefeated
