TELL-IT-LIKE-IT-IS

As usual when people write on Coach T, they don't have their facts right. Catapano--although a great picture in HS, he wasn't the guy that won all the big games for Farragut last year. A young man, B. Powell, was the winner in most of FHS games last year. He is now pitching for UT. As far as your picks for the season, you could be right for this early season. Farragut is very young this season--however--don't beat against them late. As you know--they a consistently lucky. Or should I say--they are consistently coached!

I WAS AT THE GAME LAST NIGHT, AND I MUST ADMIT--DB HAS A GOOD BALL CLUB. THEIR PITCHING WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT--THEIR HITTING WAS AS GOOD--HOWEVER--THE KIDS FROM FARRAGUT WERE JUST A LITTLE BETTER. THEY CAME INTO THE GAME WITH A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE. THEY DISPLAYED A CERTAIN CONFIDENCE THAT I DIDN'T SEE IN THE DB KIDS. DOES PLAY-OFF EXPERIENCE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH POST SEASON SUCCESS? I THINK SO. I KNOW DB HAS A LOT OF YOUNG PLAYERS IN THEIR LINE-UP, BUT FARRAGUT HAS EVEN MORE. THE LEFT SIDE OF THEIR INFIELD IS MADE UP OF FRESHMEN. I HAVE WATCHED A LOT OF HS BASEBALL THIS YEAR, AND I THINK FARRAGUT'S YOUNG GUNS ARE PROBABLE THE BEST I HAVE SEEN. THEY HAVE 2 OR 3 FRESHMEN PITCHERS AS WELL. THE WAY THINGS LOOK TO ME--THERE MIGHT BE A MATCH-UP OF THESE GUYS AGAIN NEXT YEAR. DID I JUST SAY--NEXT YEAR???@@$$?%%%%? FARRAGUT WINS
