I say Lipscomb. They have plenty of pitching depth, even a few fresh arms available. Brock threw Tuesday, and could pitch at least enough to make a difference on two days' rest. Besides, they are cruising offensively, and I don't think Pigeon Forge (or any other AA team right now for that matter) will be able to slow them down. Regardless, congratulations to both teams on two fine seasons!

what in the world happened???

eh i wouldnt get too excited....you guys will enjoy a good 5 innings more in your season against goodpasture.....dont hope for much more

ok i have a funny call my coach told me about.... He said a long time ago, his team was batting, and they had bases loaded. The batter had a full count, and (for some reason) my coach sent his runner at third to steal home. The pitcher went to the plate, and the runner at third took off. As the pitch crossed the plate, the runner slid through the legs of the right-handed batter and was tagged out by the catcher. Immediately, the umpire called the baserunner out. My coach ran toward the plate to argue what seemed to be an obvious call. He came up to the plate and the umpire told him that it was an easy call, that the runner was out by a mile. "But what was the pitch?" my coach asked. "A ball," the ump replied.

Didn't seem to work out as well for him against Goodpasture last year....

Davidson Academy OF Dillon Heath has 13 HR's so far during the regular season (plus 5 preseason)

Davidson Academy is 10-2, with losses to Nashville Christian and East Robertson (without any seniors, mind you)

I played with Steven last summer on the Junior Sunbelt team and I remember him being both a first-class player and individual. I honestly do not know what would've provoked anything that would make any of you consider him a hot head, but then again, there may be certain aspects of his school ball that differ greatly from the relaxed attitude we all had out in Oklahoma. I am almost positive that the issue is a one-time thing, and I do not believe that anybody, be it the University of Memphis baseball program or any of the people reading this post, should jump to conclusions about Steven's personality.

im thinkin dca.....but it could be a tossup

I don't like you.

Saturday - 4/2 North Side 8 Brighton 18 Davidson Acad. 5 Brighton 2 Davidson Acad. 4 North Side 9 Chester Co. did not show up, as they were playing in another tournament... Davidson plays Chester Co. and JCS Tuesday @ 4:00 and 7:00 Don't know about the other Chester Co. games...

the jewelry thing doesn't make much sense to me....i ran cross country and i had on a wwjd bracelet and a watch, and out of the two, they made me take off the wwjd bracelet....neither cross country nor baseball are true contact sports, so i don't see where any dark-colored, non-reflective "jewelry" affects game play whatsoever....oh well, guess they just have to make an all-emcompassing rule to take care of some jewelry that could prove to be distracting

you're retarded

Davidson beat CA today 10-0 in 5.....Ryan Johnson and reliever Orrie Rice combined for a no-hitter....

Like you said, Davidson is very young. With their lack of experience at the plate, there are likely to be very few high-scoring games, at least not on their part, but if the upperclassmen stay consistent and the younger players put together some hits every now and then, they may be able to put some runs on the board, especially against 1A pitching. Defensively, they are strong in most positions, including outfield, catching, and third base, but the middle of the infield and first are sketchy. If they can gain some consistency out of these weak spots, then they will be able to help their pitching out a little bit, but as of yet, these have yet to prove themselves. Pertaining to pitching, they are short-handed and will depend greatly on only two returning pitchers, both upperclassmen, and a number of new arms who will get plenty of playing time early on. If they can find some stability in these weak points, then Davidson can put together some wins. But some of these problems, particularly the defense, make the Bears quite vulnerable to defeat, as the offense is often unable to close multiple run deficits. In preseason play, they did not fare well against their opponents. However, many of these teams were large 3A schools, including Riverdale, Beech, and Hendersonville. When it comes down to the competition they will likely be facing among District 10A and other 1A opponents, they will be much more competitive and, if the bats pick up and the defense gets better, fairly strong.
