I say Lipscomb. They have plenty of pitching depth, even a few fresh arms available. Brock threw Tuesday, and could pitch at least enough to make a difference on two days' rest. Besides, they are cruising offensively, and I don't think Pigeon Forge (or any other AA team right now for that matter) will be able to slow them down. Regardless, congratulations to both teams on two fine seasons!

It would be hard for DL not to be a bit overconfident going into tomorrow's game, outscoring opponents 34 -2 in 3 games at state and 51-4 since regionals. Pigeon Forge earned the right to be there, taking 2 of 3 from Ripley along the way.

 

Watch out for an upset if DL parties a little too early. Otherwise, I'd have to say DL clearly looks like the best team right now.

 

good luck to both.

The only thing I can tell Pigeon Forge is not to throw any fastballs peroid. DL has always been the best fastball hitting team I've ever seen. PF's only chance is to use a pitcher with a good curveball and an excellent changeup. That was the only way we could hang with them last year. Good luck to both teams but I see DL taking this one by at least 6 runs.

I have also heard that the 3 starting outfielders & shortstop are not playing for different reasons.

 

Outfield: 1 signed with the Vols for football

Outfield: 1 signed a golf scholarship

Shortstop: signed a golf scholarship

Outfield: decided to focus on senior year of football and is being looked at by several SEC schools

 

How good would David Lipscomp be if those athletes were on the team?

It is true that several juniors from last years teams did not return as seniors.

 

Two utility players, two outfielders. I would say at least 2 of the replacements are as good as the previous players overall, each having different strengths. All four seniors that lef might have been starters this year, but not all four were starters last year.

 

Lipscomb this year has 3 starting seniors, plus 1 senior pitcher, Jason Brock. All of the rest of Lipscomb's pitchers are Freshmen through Juniors.

 

If they win this year, they could repeat next year.

    • Gleason all over west Carroll in scrimmage. Gleason is big and fast 
    • Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.
    • Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.
    • He actually had a really solid spring.  I could see him getting some backup snaps on offense and be a regular on special teams.  Really athletic kid who can run.
