The losses of Bearden and Farragut have really thrown a curveball on this tournament (no pun intended). Can the Admirals come back and win it all? Who will pitch at 7?

I believe that farragut will loose. They have no momentum going into this game, and are not playing their best right now. DB is a very good team.

There is nothing like high school baseball. The games are full of meaning, you are playing to represent your team. The lack of talent makes the coach have to take a strategic approach to the lineup. You cant tell me that a district game is more important than a sundday morning game against the Rivercats at the sportspark on the Coke Zero Classic and the Sunday Morning Special. I agree that you can be found better in travel ball, but high school is much more intense and means more to the players and coaches.

What are some opinions on coach of the year? I personaly believe that Kirk Renegar is one of the best coaches Ive seen in about 25 years. The way he has his players disciplined and has them all come together like a school of fish is incredible. He has great strategy and always seems to overcome anything that goes wrong. Taking this program to becoming one of the beat teams in Knoxville is no coincidence.

I dont know, knoxcobeat1 did minor in sports phycology so he could know what he is talking about. However, I like painter and think he could be a very sucessful D2 and possibly D1 pitcher. Congrats to him on pitcher of the year.

I agree with all of your statements. Hv has a chance to be great with their upcoming sophomores (Hunt, V.Gambuzza, Pung, Neely,and Sears) Their outfield might struggle, but as long as A.Gambuzza is out there they cant be too bad.

Ohh sorry beavers fans i forgot. I think that Oster is all that Karns has. I dont see them contending for the district title in the future unless they get some sort of Dominican kid throwing about 95 mph. Also they might loose their coach which could affect their future.

As a Central fan i can look at this tournament from an unbias perspective and this is what I have concluded. Powell had a chance to do something great, but didnt reach the full potential of what they could be. Halls had a team with a couple great players but didnt have the depth in the pitching rotation to win the tournament HVA (repeating champs) had an all around good team with great pitching, and a well disciplined program. Kirk Renegar has this team looking like soldiers in the military. Its like they do everything right. This team has alot of freshmen and will only get better Oak Ridge really reached their full potential, but untill they get a solid number 2 guy behind Lane, I dont see them going far. They have alot of upcoming seniors, so they are a definate contender for next year. Clinton made it farther than everyone expected, I really like the program and what the players bring to the table. Campbell County is very well coached. If they get some talent i could see this program as a threat in the future. Anderson County did about what everyone expected. They had a bad draw in the tournament having to face Powell and Halls. Hard to tell what they will look like in the future.

Yea i heard it too. It was at the beginning of the season, but they fixed it. I would never let my sons play that garbage infront of innocent women and children. Have these kids never heard 70s music?

I totally agree, it just seems like the kids did what they want and when they want. The songs that they played before their at bats were vulgar and disrespectable.

I totally agree, Weiler is a very crafty pitcher that wins alot of games but Phiefer was a overpowering high school pitcher that dominated the mound every game.

I honestly dont think that HVA will pitch Kirk. Neely has stepped up to the plate (or should I say rubber) and i think they will give him the championship.

What are your opinions on the Halls vs. Oak Ridge game tonight? Do any of the teams have any pitching left?

Sears is a great player, I saw him play first out in Kingsport. He has incredible footwork and can scoop like its his job. He also has great power. Watch out 3AAA, we have a future star on our hands.

That is true, I definately believe that Tommy Weiler deserves to win Pitcher of the Year. He has taken his team very far, and gives them a chance to win every game. Great player that will only get better!
