Thanks Greenedevilmom for your support, but it is easier said than done.

 

By what I've heard from Powell, they are ready to play. I'm assuming they decided last year really isn't what they want again, and I don't blame them. They sound ready on defense and on the mound. Haven't heard much from the offense, but as long as you can hold the other team down, defense will get you the win.

 

We have been practicing alot, could have made some improvements, and maybe not. We have been struggling getting through our scrimmages and not won very many of them. We have practice Thursday and Friday to get ready for Monday.

 

My game predictions are going to be biased obviously, but I do agree with Slick. The game won't be a blow out, it will be pretty close all the way through. It will be a 2 or 3 point game. I think the "X" Factor will be who hits and executes on the base paths better. Whose on top of their game pretty much. Clinton over Powell.

Powell 5 - Clinton 2

 

Very good performance tonight by Powell. They have obviously turned around their program. Good sticks all the way around. Your top four guys in your batting line-up is your main core, the rest work their way in. Pitching by the freshman was very good as well. He doesn't throw lots of gas, but he still got the job done. Defense was good for you guys too. TJ made that great bare hand play at second. We had some speed we may have beat that out.

 

We hit the ball, just right to you guys. Two or three plays could have changed that game around, but overall it was a good game. I predicted the final score to be between two or three runs, I just picked the wrong squad.

 

Good luck to you guys.

Tonight Powell did show they have turned their program around from last year, there bats were pretty solid tonight and like CHS said the top four batters are the core, if Daniel Evans keeps strokin the ball like he is and the guys in front of him keep gettin on then they will score alot of runs, but the bottom half of the lineup does need to pick it up. The freshman Andrew Green did pitch a heck of a game tonight, he had a good solid defense behind him also, not to many mistakes but one was made when a grounder was hit to thirdbase not sure of the name, but the throw to first got by Daniel Evans and the rightfielder was there backin up the throw and got the guy trying to go home. TJ Farmer made a awesome bare handed play, the ball took a bad hop and he just grabbed it with his bare hand, and then the double play Farmer and Matt Hargis turned was very nice to. Powell may not be up to Halls level yet but we will see were they stand Wed. i might be wrong but you can tell that these guys have worked hard in the off season. Good luck guys...

    • 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. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
