DOBYNS BENNETT VS KNOX HALLS

[illpete23]

we all do realize that harder throwing pitchers supply the power to the bats, right?

[bud]

I really dont think it matters if Randy Johnson is on the hill for Halls.  I played against D.B. this year and they are the real deal. They play with alot of determination and emotion. Baseball is a game not dealt with so much on the level of talent, but on the heart that the kids put forth and play with. Not to mention the 2 million dollar in-door hitting facility acquired by the Tribe along with the rest of the field house. D.B. hits the ball as well as any high school team I have ever played with or against and they are a real classy bunch of kids as well.

Thanks for the comment! That is rare on the message boards. Especially if you are DB.

Thanks for the comments on the classy guys. D.B. has probably the fewest strikeout ratio in the state, and probably close in the nation. Every person on their team is a hitter. I think the Indians will pull away in this game and head to the state. In the game against Halls last year, D.B. was up but Halls tied it up in the 7th and won in an extra inning. It will be close, but if D.B.'s bats are cracking then i'm going with the Tribe. Oh yeah, how good does it feel to score 12 runs in 1 inning against science hill, thats just good stuff.

it was actually 10 runs and 12 hits in the top of the seventh. Get your stats right Dafurture

 

 

 

 

 

Gettem Tribe!

The D-B team definitely have solid sticks. They are smart at the plate, and that is one of their biggest keys to success. Rarely will you find an D-B player get cheated in an at bat by swinging at multiple pitches out of the zone.

 

Also, is Coach Ritz's son on here...I miss talking to him, he's one of the most honest people that I've ever met. For all I know, he could be on this board posting right where I am, but anyway if you see him let him know that he's a good man. And listen to him, because he's got some good advice...

[the real deal]

red devils better be ready to play, how cocky is this bunch of kids

[formerdevil12]

speed provides power is what you all are saying...i have watched Larsen pitch ever year of his high school career and ive seen one team his sophomore year hit him hard consistently. there's alot of hype for this game and thats awesome. i remember going to DB last year and not knowing at thing about them really. they were a good team but not a great team like their numbers are showing this year. it just cracks me up how everyone can run their mouth about Larsen and Lockwood (mostly Larsen) saying it doesnt matter who's on the mound. thats bullcrap. it was Larsen and Waldrop on the mound last year in the state championship game-final score: 3-1. tell me it doesnt matter who's on the mound if you hold Farragut to 3 runs. The Halls team from last year doesnt have the bats that this Halls team has this year. just dont count your chickens before they hatch on this game. looks like two good teams with two good pitchers on the mound may it be lockwood or larsen for Halls.

 

Play your game Devils!

[formerdevil12]

TYPO **didnt have the bats

[BwAnG]

I'm not counting the chickens before they hatch, not the least bit. Halls has posted a what 33-2 record this year? Thats enough said, I hope d-b can come ready to play and not come out nervous or intimmedated. Anyone can win this game, thats baseball. Should be the game of the year basically for D-B. Going to state alone is something, especially when D-B makes it, that only happens very so often. Good Luck Everyone.

I know Duran throws low 90's.  He is a year younger than the other seniors.  At 17, he still has room for more development and in the paper coaches expect him to throw over 95 in the near future.  He is 6-foot-3 & 230 lbs, nicknamed: Big Cat.  He was player of the year in both football & baseball for DB's conference.    He has many eyes on him as he is expected to continue to get better.

I saw Duran pitch against JC, he was as advertised. I heard how great of football player he was and after watching him play was not impressed. The 6-3 part, I got pretty close to him, I would think around 6-0 to 6-1. Against JC he may of had a few balls around 85 to 86. His fastball is by no means his best pitch, look out for his curve ball. It's real good.

Ok DAFAN, How many games did you see Duran play in football? I mean if your going to base how good or impressed you were about one game then dont even bother. B/c this season Duran was exceptional at quarterback, so unless you watched him play every game this season like myself, just dont say anything. And plus we are talking about baseball here, no one cares if you were impressed with him in football or not. But thanks for the useless information.

OUCH!
