To GCApride - unless an upset occurs, GCA will go to the state tournament again. GCA is a 4-time state tourney participant and the defending champions. Rockwood is coming off an 8 win season. RHS could improve a lot and it would not be noticeable to GCA. To the other posters, while I agree with you, let's keep on topic. The public/private debate has been discussed ad nauseam, and it was not the purpose of this thread. Let's talk on the field District 3 baseball here.

HV's 4 losses were by 17,16, 7, and 6 points. Even though HV did not beat a team with a winning record, they have scored 20+ every game since week 1. Based on the stats & Rockwood having home field advantange, I set the score line at 38-24, Tigers.
