District 10 A

Actually I picked up baseball my junior year after being away for 3 years, and if you ask a few of these guys I was pretty decent in high school.

 

There is a difference between pretty decent and being a quality high school player! There are millions of "decent" guys in high school who hit .200 or lower! Well, I guess Heritage had to start somewhere! I sure hope they have come a long way from that "decent" stage! Baseball requires discipline not a drop now pick up later attitude! :lol:

dave61502, i really do not see where you are getting that East is goin to be tough they lost there 2 best pitchers last year and they really didnt hit the ball well last year(or atleast agianst us) and Houston Co. lost there 3 best players which one of them (the catcher that hit lefty) i thought was one of the better hitters in the district last yea....but i do agree with you in that Mcewen will be better then people expect keeping #14 i think is his # who was a good pitcher last year.....but i think it is gonna come down to NCS and JBS for the distict ........BUt as of right now NCS is still playing basketball(most of the baseball team plays basketball) while everyone else is getting better at baseball so they/we could b a little rusty when the first few game come around

Well decent consisted of leading the team in home runs, slugging percentage, and top 3 in Batting Average. Thats what I meant, I wasn't a horrible player or anything. And it wasn't a drop now pickup later attitude I moved to a school in Nebraska that didn't have a baseball team. So when I came back I dedicated myself to becoming a "decent" baseball player. I never hit below .200 in my whole career. That isn't decent by any means, thats pretty horrible in high school ball.

You are right in saying that East didn't do anything against ya'll last year, but they are more of a team this year then they were the last 2 years. The Juniors and Sophomores love playing baseball and playing together. I'm not saying they will win the district! I'm just saying they will play tough! Good luck to NCS!

Well I don't really count the Homerun aspect when you play on little league fields and the only player I remember doing anything was B-willy! And if your not B-willy then you definitely didn't draw attention from anyone! 3rd in batting average isn't saying to much for a team that has gone 4-39 over the last 2 seasons! All I was saying before about the other 2 guys is that it takes dedication and hard work in baseball! And those 2 boys, from what I understand, didn't show either of those characteristics. They wanted to play one day, but not the next! They thought they could be "stars", but when they figured out they would have to work hard to earn playing time they bailed! and contrary to popular belief this is not about Heritage it was about the comment that was mde about East loosing 2 of their better ball players.....which they were not! Coach Logsdon and Heritage - Good luck this year. I hope it can be a break out year for ya'll! :lol:

Just an opinion here. Way too early to be predicting anything at NCS baseball. Hence your statement regarding 8-9 baseball players still playing basketball, some of those players have been working out but most have not. Out of those 9 players 7 of them started last season. So go figure ....no need to get too cocky here. NCS had a good season last year but so did other teams in the district along with Jo Byrns winning it all. Just a suggestion ....be humble and work hard and leave the predictions to others. While its fun to review and speculate how the teams are going to stack up you can never really predict how a certain team (East Robertson) is going to do based on last year. From what i hear they have a very good pitcher in Clinard and other who have improved from last year. Take a lesson from White House Heritage basketball season and fans on here ...ask them how it worked out for them when they were talking all season about winning the district and how much better they were than others. NCS has a pretty good group of kids this year and several have been working very hard while the basketball team plays in the district and regionals ..hopefully that hard work will sustain us while the basketball guys get in baseball shape. This district will continue to improve with each team ....no one is safe here anymore. Everyone must improve from game to game....season to season ...or they will be left behind.

You sound like you know a lot about Heritage, but the only person you've heard of is B Will?

He is the only one that impressed me wth his play and the Hill kid did also, but he didn't play last year! And by the way I know about most of you, but I haven't been impressed the last couple of years! That doesn't mean I won't be impressed this year! I really hope, for the program, that Heritage impresses some people this year! Ya'll had a couple of young kids last year that have potential from what I saw! Maybe they can step up this year!

Well I hope they do good this year as well. I wish I could still be playing with them, and I think they might get some breaks to go their way this time. Thanks for supporting them, though.

    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.
