Thanks soxfan...looks like all prepextra team got it right. See todays knox sentinel for their awards. Cant argue much with that. Great group of players from all classes.

Agree.. overalll AAA competition better..however aa has individuals that are being scouted by major leagues and could compete well in AAA. But i also look at some of your past threads and no i am responding to someone that likes to ruffle feathers so i am laughing inside as i type. As for my credentials...i am a current major league scout for east tennessee. I just dont like politics.

This is a joke...you have pitchers from CAK lead their team to state in Keck and Pardue not make it. Troutt who was district pitcher of year in that same district (who beat cak twice). None gets in but 3 Farragut pitchers out of 8 make it? Not saying that one of them is probably deserving but Looks like more home cooking. Weldon..district mvp also missing.

Saw Greenback in a couple of team camps. Looks like a step back. Not impressed with new coach.

What is not being told is that the incident of verbal assault in the parking lot actually was started in gym by the Ehs fans unhappy about the technicals. As they were in the gym and leaving ..they started it. Poor examples for the parents. They deserved what they got in the parking lot. Officiating was not any worse than elizabethans own Christmas tourney last year. Its bad all over..especially in summer. But as coaches and as parents you have to show discipline as that is part of it.

Also..I meant to add I have seen some other very good "high school pitchers." Hardin Valley and Heritage have some quality starters,however this list is for those that are " next level".

Based on games I have seen this year, here is a list of some of the best pitching performances against quality teams. East Tennessee is loaded with outstanding arms. ( I know I am leaving out some, but this is based on opinion and actually being at the games): Drake Owenby Powell Tyler Troutt- Alcoa Taylor Durand- AC Phillip Pardue- CAK Wil Crowe- Pigeon Forge Painter- Halls Clifton- Heritage Dalton Curtis- Maryville Unfortunately have not seen Farragut pitchers this year. Who would be your all-east tn list that you saw play?

Great district tourney final last night at CAK. First game when 10 innings before Alcoa won to force game 2. A lot of heart shown by both teams. Unbelievable stamina and determination by Alcoa pitchers Waters and Troutt pitching many innings with very few days rest. Pardue of CAK also pitching on limited rest threw a great game in the last one. Congrats to both teams! Awards: Aaron Fieldon -Kingston. MVP Chaz Vesser- Alcoa- Offensive Player of Year Tylet Troutt- Alcoa- Pitcher of Year Malik Love- Newcomer Some player from Loudon got defensive player of year if any one can help me out.

Curtis who can hit upper 80's is tough to beat and in my opinion the most dominant in county. Tyler Troutt who I hear was clocked at 86-87 the other night has great control and movement. He is next on my list and brings it from the left side. Clifton who throws in 90's is my number 3. He can definitely bring it but struggles with control. Speed doesnt make you the best but if he can find control consistently...watch out. Congrats to these 3 for great years!

Gutsy performance by both pitchers from Stone and Alcoa last. After a 3 hr..11 inning game, and both pitchers throwing over 150 pitches, Alcoa won on a walkoff double. Troutt of Alcoa went 6 for 6 from the plate and struck out 14 in 10 innings work. Both play today at Stone.

Clifton is the jr at Heritage. I think he can be special if he finds consistent control. I saw him twice this yr and he doesnt throw as hard as they say in a game. However he is very good hs pitcher for his age. With control and more weight on his frame...who knows.

Also glad to see Daulton Curtis back on mound after injury.

Got to see many teams and games at this weeks bc tourney. I have to say Morristown's Andrew Lee is the real deal. Other insights from this weekend: Hunter Saunders,Chaz Vesser, and Tyler Troutt (pitching) seem to be Blount Co best of class. WB looks strong. Maryville bats woke up but they are sliding..Alcoa's defense and bats went south..Heritage is still Heritage. Most of the best pitchers didnt see action because of district games this week.
