What an unbelievable high school baseball game. The atmosphere was electric. There were certainly no losers there tonight Congrats to GC, a well deserved win. I saw someone on another thread insinuating 12AA was a weak district. Well, I just saw the 4 seed from that district win the region championship. Everyone there who witnessed that game should tip their hats to the kids from both schools who provided such an entertaining evening.

I think what he meant was, way to glide right through a weak district with little competition. NONE of these district teams will be in the Burro. 2handswhilelearning... Where are you now? crickets... crickets... crickets... I just can't let the above comment go... can I? Spring Hill and Giles County will play Wednesday at 7pm in SH for the Region Championship. How weak is this district? District 12AA has a shot of putting two teams in the State Tournament. I'm not saying it will happen but making it to the Sub-State is not an easy thing to do! Maybe 2hands was at the game...and learned. With Goodpasture going down last night, the road to the 'boro got a little easier, but no one can be overlooked at this point. Good luck Raiders!

Anybody know when the LC/MC game will be made up? Looks like it could be a crucial game.

Congrats to Ezell-Harding and Spring Hill in a great game that came down to the last out. Both pitchers were impressive tonight. Thank you Raiders for a season that no one will forget any time soon. You showed class and determination all year long. Kris and all the rest of us are very proud of you.

At Richland?

Dude, you're a trip. SH wouldn't have hung their heads. They already have their prom dates lined up and the weather isn't too good for fishing.... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> And since you have deemed Page the distict playoff champs, there's really no need to play the game right?

You should know about first class kids, you live with one. But yes, you are right on both counts. It was a tough game for the Raiders, the Giles County pitcher held them at bay for most of the night and did a great job. That's one small step for the Raiders, one giant leap for.....well, something /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

There was obvious improvement in the East Hickman team this year and I was impressed with what the coach was doing there. You hit the nail on the head easteagle.....the kids deserve better than this. Unfortunately, some so-called adults forget what this is all about. Good luck and best wishes to all the folks there.

You're exactly right Wave...90 mph seems to be the point where someone is labeled a stud whether or not he can throw a strike or locate. I've seen many very effective pitchers who throw less than 85 mph. Tom Glavine made a pretty nice career of throwing 2 pitches (slow and slower) to 1 location.

Good Luck today stealth....is 24 tossing??

You are hilarious bigtime. You trying to rattle or intimidate the Raider kids or coaches is like a mouse trying to hump an elephant!

Good for Lawrence County. I'm sure their bench players appreciated the opportunity to get some playing time. They did get to play didn't they?

I'm not so sure why SH has baffled you so much. They are a talented, experienced team. If you look at my post before the season started, I said that SH and Page were the favorites and that whoever avoided the upsets and played consistently through the schedule would win. Spring Hill did that, while Page suffered a couple of upset losses. Page is obviously still a very very good team and is still one of the favorites to win the tournment. My opinion is that anybody, except for perhaps HC and EH, is capable of stringing enough wins together to win the tournament. Are you trying to bait SH by your reference to "history at SH", "going fishing and chasing girls", "how long before the wheels fall off"??? If so, that's laughable. Marshall is capable of beating anyone and I've been impressed with Loretto's progress during the season. Both of them are capable teams. Giles is definitely in the mix as well. In any case, it should be a fun and exciting tournament.

What time is the game at Columbia on Sunday?

Very cool! Nice job Hendersonville!!

Yes, the three biggest obstacles for a LL/BR player on his way to high school is the curve ball, perfume, and car keys!

Thanks. So if there were a tie between 1 and 2 and they had split, you would go to their records against the #3? I wonder if it's the same in 10AA??

Period! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Can someone explain the tie breaker system for seeding in the district tournaments. I would assume head-to-head would be first, but what's after that?

Wow, sounds like both pitchers were on. Would've liked to seen that one! Did it rain much during the game?

That's what I mean. The only solution I know of to not have mistakes, is to not play the game. Mistakes will happen, even at the highest levels. SH appears to have been pretty solid all year.

Why Willie, you're overlooking the obvious! There is a sure fire solution to eliminating errors---Don't play the game. There are people who get paid a lot of money to play this game and most of them have done it a long time. Yet, they still on occasion make errors, and sometimes at the most unfortunate time....ask Bill Buckner. This was a very good game between two very good teams. In these situations victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes....last night it was Page.

Huh? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Any details?

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I know starters who love the big game and crave to have the ball in those situations and I know relievers who thrive on coming in with bases loaded and 1 out with the game on the line. Different kids react differentlly....adults too for that matter!
