dave61502, i really do not see where you are getting that East is goin to be tough they lost there 2 best pitchers last year and they really didnt hit the ball well last year(or atleast agianst us) and Houston Co. lost there 3 best players which one of them (the catcher that hit lefty) i thought was one of the better hitters in the district last yea....but i do agree with you in that Mcewen will be better then people expect keeping #14 i think is his # who was a good pitcher last year.....but i think it is gonna come down to NCS and JBS for the distict ........BUt as of right now NCS is still playing basketball(most of the baseball team plays basketball) while everyone else is getting better at baseball so they/we could b a little rusty when the first few game come around
