confounded

With teams in play I understand why it is best not to announce. With this district being all done why not get it out. I notice district 8 is listing their team but that seems to be predictions as well. What's up with the late list?

With mo on the mound it would have looked and smelled different. Saw players there from Chapel Hill, Webb, Mboro Christian, Shelbyville there to support mo. Kid's got a lot of friends win or loose. Lvalley has some sticks.....well trained.

CC is a good place to play! Third baseman may take a couple in the mouth on bad hops but that's baseball on a high school field. Fans at CC are excellent. A drag strip is right outside the park where people rev up their engines and go 70 mph right past the field with the engine wide open. Pickup trucks line the fence. with 16 different tunes playing...what a great atmosphere! Mentally tough kids like Dodd and Burnett will thrive in this hostile environment.

Coffee County and Lawrenceburg are worthy! Congrats Coach James and Coach Jones. I have to assume one is coming to the boro. Big Ben Aarons vs Tennyson Dodd....how's that fora monster movie? I was hoping for the fans of Lincoln to join the fans of Oakland in a hoot out. Maybe next year!

It was good to finally see some calls go Coach James way today. Not sure any of them were wrong but they were certainly the kinda calls that have gone against him in previous years. Congrats to Coach James....his team pounds the ball and deserve to stay away from Oakland in the next round. If Lincoln can come through and end up at Oakland it will be a party. Lincoln's fans in Oakland's home field will be a blast to see and hear.

Franklin County is at Shelbyville tonight at 6:30. Winner plays Coffee County.

Who pitched for Columbia and Coffee County? Lincoln County and Tullahoma?

Back to baseball District fans! Tullahoma has a great place to play and when we've been down their fans have been great and parents great. Must not have much to work with this year--they deserve a good program. Riverdale and Oakland are playing this week. Just 45 minutes away.

Riverdale wins big in game 2. May win the first too. Great rivalry. I want to see the rockets red glare and the bombs going out of the park!

If the parents are nuts the coach cannot keep them from distracting in the middle of the fifth inning when a parent screams all the way across the field "come on little Johnnie were going home .....you dont have to put up with this &*^%&^% and your coach is a &^%$&^%$ and coach if you dont like it I'm gonna kick &*^%*&^%*&^%". I saw this happen at about 5 years ago with a catcher who was eventually told to leave the team. Coaches usually try to ignore it until the game is over....but by then the damage is done. Parents are hard to control. If 2 bad ones at LC then that's a whole lot to overcome.

Oakland's ace on mound........... game is tight. Next night it wont be so tight.

DNJ will be at the big game this week! After the show down guess who will get the most press. That's right! The winner. If they split then Blackaman and siegel get their 10% back.

Coaches always get blamed for everything. It is good to see someone find parents at fault. I watched Blackman fall apart a few year's back. Coach was blamed but parents were way out there. I hear that is the case with LC. 2 bad parents can ruin a team. Coaches have to face it the parents still have more influence than they do.

Oakland will walk Hunter and Skinner and look for double plays. April 10.
