Let teams practice on the field in the fall.

Top three teams win big. The 4/5 match up was a great game. I went to Powell to watch the games and the night cap was a well pitched game on both sides and had some really good defense. Not often do you see a game into the 12th inning before a run crosses home plate and I don't recall ever watching a pitcher go 12 innings and get a complete game win. Congrats to Powell, Anderson County, Karns, and Halls on winning in the first round.

I can't even recall without looking it up when a team from this district made it past the region. Powell has as good of a chance as I have seen in a while to represent 3 AAA at state.

Oak Ridge looked like the team I thought they would be before the season started. Steen went all 7 innings and looked as strong at the end as he did at the start.

There were a lot of scouts at Halls tonight to watch Steen pitch for Oak Ridge.

As it stands now: 1 Powell 6-1 (defeated Karns) 2 Karns 6-1 3 Halls 5-2 (defeated AC) 4 AC 5-2 5 Gibbs 4-3 6 Clinton 2-5 (defeated OR) 7 OR 2-5 8 Central 1-6 9 CC 1-7 Looking forward to some good weather for the start of the second half of district play this week.

This week will finish up the first half of district play with every team having played each other team once.

Karns, Powell, and AC look like the favorites to be at the top in the regular season to me. Gibbs could end up near the top if their pitching holds out. I think Halls ends up in the middle followed close by Clinton with Oak Ridge, Central and CC at the bottom. Once the tournament comes it could be a toss up with Oak Ridge and Clinton capable of upsetting the favorites.

Any thoughts?

ORHS will only see Halls and Powell one time in regular season with the new division play. This is going to change how the district plays out this year. With only 10 district games this year there could be 5 teams end regular season with the same record.

Any thoughts on the district being divided into 3 division? From what I understand there will only be 10 district games 2 against each team in the same division and 1 against each team in the other divisions. Divisions: Anderson Co., Clinton, and Oak Ridge...Central, Halls, and Powell...Campbell Co., Hardin Valley, and Karns.

Why did you attend several Halls Bball games if you dislike Halls so much?

I wonder if they could open a spot for a Drivers Education teacher. I know of a Halls Grad that should get consideration.

I saw Karns play about 6 times in the past 2 years and I thought Rice over coached during games. I am sure he knows baseball but it takes knowing how to prepare kids in practice, once the game starts sometimes it is best to just let them play.

HVA 10. OR 2 final. HVA advances to the championship game.
