I thought they lost 4 or 5 seniors. What do you think about the rest of the dist.?

Pigeon Forge will be tough. They lost alot, but they loaded up again with very good quality players.

Yes, the head football coach is also the head baseball coach. Extremely talented team but very young. Brandon Wilson started as a freshman at catcher is one of the best catchers in the state.

Pigeon Forge will hopefully rebound from the loss of the coaching staff, Tyler Cannon, and 7 seniors from last years team. They somehow rebound from challenges perenially. They have a young team but talented at the same time.

Brandon Wilson the young catcher started almost everygame last year as a freshman and is one of the best in the state as a sophmore. Bradley Harveston should return as a dominant pitching force as he has been the past two years. The seniors will show leadership and hopefully continue the winning history at PF.

 

On the other hand in District 2-AA it seems to always be a battle between PF and Rutledge. Rutledge always has a good team and has alot of returning starters this year. It is always a battle for the District Championship between these two. This year should be no different. It should be fun.

The district this year should be a little more competitive than it has been in years past. Rutledge and PF have been at the top battling it out the past couple of years but there could be some new comers to join the party. Gatlinburg Pittman will most likely the most improved team in the district and should make some noise this year. Coach Lafollete has steered this program in the right direction and looks to build on the success of last season. Union County should be improved. Rumor has it that they have got a Gibbs transfer in the program who will be their ace. Cumberland Gap will be young but very talented. Coach Hamilton will have his squad ready. Claborne should be much improved this year as well. This being said the district winner will still have to go through Rutledge and PF. Pigeon Forge has some key spots to fill and one of them will be impossible. No one can replace what Tyler Cannon brought to the game. PF will be to deal with. I expect their young players to step up and follow Haverston and Wilson's lead. They will not only contended for the district but for their third consectuive state tournamtent apperance. Rutledge on the other hand returns the majority of it team that was a game away from the state tournament a year ago. This have some key spots to fill as well because the lost three exceptional players. All in all it should be a fun one to watch this year.

Well I think when the year ends this is what the district will look like:

 

 

 

1=Rutledge

2=Cumberland Gap

3=Pigeon Forge

4=G-P

5=Union

6=Claiborne

How can you put Cumberland Gap ahead of Pigeon Forge? I don't think they have ever beat PF....ever...

[BP Man]

Coach Big dog may be right Pigeon Forge lsot 2 Cannon's not one and like 4or 5 others.Like the French kid,I think G-p Union and Cumberland Gap all have a shot at second,I think Rutledge will win though with the experience they have I think the have about 6 or 7 guys back I know they have Horsely,Starbird,and Dalton and that was their first 3 hitters last year and they had a very good year, so I expect much of the same this year.

I look for the Pioneers to put it all together this season. Coaches Bishop and Tate will make that next big step forward. Two years, two regular season titles (shared and outright) and one tournament title. Now for a region title and that elusive sectional win.
