Congratulations to the following Region 2-AAA players who made the TBCA All-State Team TBCA 1ST Team All-State Trey York Sr 2b Bearden AJ Simcox Sr SS Farragut Colby Skeen Sr 3b Powell TBCA 2ND Team All-State Grant Painter Sr LHP Knox Halls Ronnie Broyles Sr RHP/3b Bearden Nick Senzel Jr 2b Farragut

OK....here is my 2 cents. Since Pitcher of the Year has been discussed to death, I will just make my pick.....Grant Painter. As far as Player of the Year, I think it comes down to 2 players: Austin Smith (Halls) 6 HRs, .470 BA, numerous extra base hits, great catcher. Colby Skeen (Powell) 7 HRs, .495 BA, numerous extra base hits, great at 3B and closer. My money is on Halls to sweep these awards since they were #1. Grant Painter and Austin Smith

District champs in a weak district....that's as far as they go.

I think that is a very good idea...LOL I know the way the season is spread out that several teams will be in the hunt for the league championship, but who truly has the quality pitching depth to win the tournament? I don't think anyone is deep enough to walk through it. Comments?

I was very disappointed in Coach Scott Cummings' comments in the Knoxville News Sentinel. He gave no credit at all to Powell for hitting his team right in the mouth. The Panthers defense completely man-handeled West the entire game and all Cummings could come up with was "they were barking at us trying to draw us off sides". Even he said he knew it sounded like he was whining! Wow....your team had a great season, playing in arguably the toughest region in high school football, and you are going to come up with that crappy excuse for the newspaper? Somebody needs to get Cummings a PR person....this is not the first time he has opened his mouth and crap came out. Give credit where credit is due! Congratulations to the West players on a very successful season!

Powell 13-3 Halls 12-3 (still has to play at OR) Anderson Co. 10-6 Hardin Valley 10-6 Karns 9-7 Oak Ridge ? Clinton ? Campbell Co. ? Central ?

........and good job to you too Brycen. Wish you two were still at Powell.

Congrats Ross.......Nice job Zach!

They still have the original schedule on there. I was hoping they would post the revised schedule since it rained. I know Powell plays McMinn Co. at 3 tomorrow at Catholic. I wanted to see some other teams play and would like to see a revised schedule. Also, does anyone know if the ticket you purchase at one field good all day at all fields? Thanks

Would someone from Farragut please post the new schedule on here or the Farragut baseball site?

Scott, Once again, I'm afraid you were very misinformed by the players you have talked to. Powell and SC were in different pools and played a cross-over game. I personally saw the pools on the schedule. They both won their respective pools. This is the fact. Powell and SC split with Powell winning the Championship game. Both teams played varsity players and they were 2 very good games. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why SC is trying to avoid counting this loss so bad. Good teams lose to other good teams all the time. It's baseball! Also, Powell pitched a freshman named Dean Kidd who did a great job. He is probably 5 or 6 in the rotation. Hagen came in to get the last 2 outs of the game. I guess we can all just agree to disagree, but when is the last time you saw the box score of a scrimmage game in the news paper? Glad to hear Austin is doing well. Best of luck to you guys this year!

POWELL FEST! That's a classic! I am glad another person (not from Powell) finally stepped up and gave their opinion too. IT'S ABOUT TIME! Where ya been? Sittin there reading the Powell fest? On 2 separate posts TSpoon asked folks from other teams to get on here and talk about their teams. Why did it take you so long? Just kidding. So are ya picking AC to win it? I look for them to be strong. Someone tell me who some of the A.C. players are, besides Roberts, Williams, and Durand.
