Franklin Rebels vs Brentwood

[BBC]

Have not had a chance to see Franklin play but have heard plenty of talk about some of their players. Went over to the game at Brentwood lastnight and Franklin is a very good team. Brentwood played them a good game but made the mistake of giving the a few extra outs and we all know you can't do that against a good team. The Joseph kid is the real deal at the plate, have seen him play for the last couple of years and he continues to improve. Dykes had a bad night at the plate no hits and nothing really hit hard, but that's just one night. franklin can hit 1 - 9 and have decent team speed. The most impressive player was the Grude kid that came in to close the game. This kid is 6'4" or 5" and was 87 -90 last night with a good cb. Brentwood looked completely overmatched against him, with the exception of the catcher Shelton. I believe Franklin will go deep into the post season.

Looks like another great coaching job from the Hall of Famer Nick Waggoner. He deserves all the credit for the team's success every year. He is a great motivator and an excellent all around coach. He is an excellent teacher and can convey the fundamentals of the game in a way no other coach can do it. His talent is always lacking but some how he always gets the best out of his players.
