East Robertson returns 10 starters on both sides of the bal. They’re gonna be big and physical, not as explosive as years past but will most likely be the most physical ER team in recent memory. Won’t be more athletic or as fast as East Nashville but will have some guys who can keep up with them
Eagleville is the best team in 1A no doubt and ER may deserve to loose after blowing a 6 run lead…but goodness the umpires were awful today. Eagleville getting to play at Eagleville is the worst thing the TSSAA could ever do for a STATE TOURNAMENT. Strike zone was awful all day and the way the last play was called was awful. Not an interference when he’s sliding into second base on a slow roller to the short stop to beat the throw. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
they lost to Dickson Co. They played on a very small field due to rain and had to move venues. Montgomery threw a lot of pop ups that ended up being Homers. From what people have told me at the jamboree Brandon Montgomery is probably the best all around baseball player to come through beech besides Billy Paul Carver, but was very hot headed. Had a very good bat and threw low 90’s. I believe he ended up doing well for himself. I saw him play one time at Springfield and he threw a no hitter.
I would say Atlee Pond, Chad Broadrick would be names heard alot. Other coaches in the area that could be in the conversation I would think are Stetson Dickerson, Hayden Alexander. Murray from heritage is known to move around a lot. He could be an option as well
Marion’s defense was the best I saw last year. Watching East Nashville struggle with a LC team we handled easily week one with loosing Isaiah Groves on the first drive…East Nasty is definitely the team to beat but don’t be surprised. 2A is the most competitive and wide open classification every year.
