Heard Grace beat Hixson tonight 7-6 in the jamboree, but how did they look? Several guys had been out in the previous scrimmages. Where any of them back tonight?
Foster clearly proved why he was the two time returning MVP of district 5. Pitched outstanding on short rest and dominated the district 5 regular season co-champs(DB). Absolutely crushed the ball into deep left-center for a triple as well as 2 other extra base hits. Although there are other good players in district 5, Wallace stands head and shoulders above them all. I feel it is a travesty that he was not chosen for a 3rd year. The coaches need to look at the quality of the teams on the schedule as well as the stat lines. Defenses rob hitters more as the level of competition increases. Grace hands down played the toughest non-district schedule and their players should not be punished because of that schedule.
What did Friendship lose from last years team? I know they aren't near as good as last year. I think this could be a better game than some are expecting.
Arts was in the old District 4-A before the district was split and they moved up in the '97-'98 school year, making them one of the largest single A schools in this area. As I said, alot of talent but not much in terms of results.
This many college basketball players coming thru in 17 years and zero titles, and only two state basketball appearances. I take back what I said about Grace. They've done that much with less talent.
Not losing a district game in that district is not something to brag about.
I would have expected every kid to graduate, your basically a private school without paying tutition.
