Most people will not agree with me but any of these teams could win. Middleton will be written off by most but they are very capable of winnig against JCS. The Fayette, adamsville game can go either way as well. Both will be very good games.
If you have a good pitcher and are playing a team that you know will not be able to pull the ball because of the pitcher you could move you fielders around. Don't try to judge a player you have never seen play.
If you look on the TSSAA web site the following teams are region 8 AA. I don't know how many have baseball teams but some do.
Region 8
District: 15
Booker T. Washington (Memphis)
Frayser (Memphis)
George Carver (Memphis)
Treadwell (Memphis)
Trezevant (Memphis)
District: 16
Hillcrest (Memphis)
Memphis South Side (Memphis)
Mitchell (Memphis)
Oakhaven (Memphis)
Sheffield (Memphis)
Westwood (Memphis)
I agree with this completely. This was not the best thing for Middleton and Fayette Academy. These schools don't have a district that makes them work hard, but the coaches schedule games that help their teams compete and prepare for tournament time and these schools may suprise some other teams.
GO TIGERS
One of the best I've seen is Bryan Sutton on Middleton's team. He covers lots of ground and makes catches that lots of player would not get close to. He plays LF, CF, and RF depending on the team we are playing and who is pitching.
You want to use a summer league game to talk about how bad Middleton is. WE were paying mostly 8th and 9th grades. The team you played last summer was no way the team that is on the field this year. If you think that this team is going to be easy to beat you will be adding a number to your loss colum when you play them. They have improved from the team you saw last summer as well as adding a few players that had summer jobs and could not play summer ball. When we play you will see that Middleton will not be a push over. Everybody makes errors not just freshman.
