That's a pretty good one though. I lean towards Turner for Area...but I'm a Turner fan, and I know Siltz is very good too!

Nic Robinson for pitcher of the year... 9-0

[hmslb32]

What kind of year did Ryne Simpson have? Is he going to UT as a position player or pitcher?

Good grief. Now for the real Best of Preps list. I realize some of y'all like to pat each other's back, name your friends, brothers or yourselves, and go by the inflated stats that some teams phone in...but I go by what I've seen, and how much difference a player makes to a winning team. My criteria is, how would a certain team fare without this player? In some cases, they don't miss a beat, but in other cases, one player makes a huge difference. I also include quality of opponents, attitude, leadership and behavior. Here goes...and I'm keeping it in Hamilton County, because those are the games I have seen the most.

 

Pitchers: Coty Green and Ryne Simpson of Baylor

 

Charles Williams of McCallie

 

Brandon Siltz of Red Bank

 

Nic Robinson and Justin Higdon of Ooltewah

 

 

Positions: Myles Ervin of Notre Dame...amazing shortstop, good bat

 

Bret Smalley & Josh Green of Hixson...lively bats

 

Nathan Long of CCS...major league potential

 

Ryan Jones, Zach Woods & Blake McDade of Ooltewah...

all-around players

 

Michael Brown of Baylor...team leader

 

Beau Geren of Red Bank...RBI man and best catcher

 

and Player of the Year: Reece Cofer of Red Bank....yes, Ooltewah had their number, but against everybody else, Red Bank is 22-6, and Cofer is directly responsible for many of those wins. For a team with only three seniors and low expectations, they're still alive. They've beaten most of the teams in the area, and Cofer is usually the rally-starter and playmaker.

 

Lots of guys came close, but you can't pick everybody. We all have our opinions, and I don't expect everyone to agree. But I think this would be an amazing team!

Hahahaha, oh me oh my! Curtisj, when are you going to tell us how you are related to Mr. Cofer? Because you have yet to make a post on CoachT that doesn't mention his name and what an exceptional hitter he is. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but geeeeeez! Player of the year? Anyways, good luck on Monday. McMinn can hit!

[nokona2]

well i know who the POY is... and know one has guessed it correctly so far... hmmm.

Heck somebody around here has to be fair and impartial. The rest of you must pull a muscle every night, straining to pat each other on the back!

OH MY GOD! curtisj has finally lost it! POY is Cofer. Listen Mr. Cofer, you brought up "attitude, leadership, and behavior". What was RB record while your boy was serving his suspension for cussing out his coach? By the way tell us about your whiney letter to Mr. Fairbanks about your perfect son not getting the scholarship for his "leadership". But of course the TFP gave it to Wilkes even with all his antics, I guess Cofer is qualified then.

Try bench warmer. The most overrated player in Chatt. Only signed with UT because his grandfather roomed with Coach Dickey at Fla.

And while I'm at it. How funny was it to see Suckups (Stump) on Sports pick Mrs Woods as the Mother of the Year, the same night her son gets tanked at his prom and kicked off the baseball team.

 

 

Almost as funny as the article Ward Gossett wrote about Cofer the same day he cussed out his coach and got suspened.

I'v got it. Curtisj is either Mr. Cofer or Ward Gossett. They both loved troubled short stops.
