Halls will be awesome if the pitching holds up. Looking for Clarke & White to be throwing the heat with some good quality youngsters backing them up.

 

Halls may have the best outfield not only in East Tennessee but the whole state. Brock, Cooper & Dayton lead the team in many offensive categories last year and have great defensive skills. Infield had some costly errors last year at the worse times costing a couple of games. If the infield plays well I see a State trip in the spring. Noe looks solid at 1st. Wallace our #1 catcher may not catch this year but should be available to pinch hit.

 

Can't see Karns hanging with them this year. Karns has some talent but Halls 1 thru 9 can hit the ball and have outstanding speed. Oak Ridge had a great year last year but have lost some key players. Clinton could be a surprise as could Powell. Depth wise though Halls should be as good as anyone in East Tennessee. To much senior leadership to not be a contender.

I think it will be alot more competative than most people think. Halls has considerable depth, but the coaching staff must not over coach and let the talent play. Getting the right players in the correct position was the problem last year. Not until the end of the year did the infield get through a game without multiple errors. The biggest question will be if Noe can handle the duty behind the plate. Without him at first means a new face to throw to at first. This leaves several options in the infield. Bowman, White, Turner, McConkey and Clifton, all will play some in the infied. Who hit's the best will get the nod. It will be an interseting year.

West, Karns, Oak Ridge will certainly have alot to say about the outcome, and Central with the Green kid pitching will be tough. I think a very close race for Dist 3....

oneup,

We haven't even started practice yet and here you go blasting the coaching staff. If you can hit you will play. If you can play defense and hit then you will play. I promise you the nugget will put the players in the right position. Its up to them, the players, to make the plays!

You son must not be in the starting lineup or else he got benched last year and now you grew a set over the summer, fall and early winter so you say soemthing now.

Not enough pitching in this conference to be excellent teams. There are some good bats and decent pitchers, but the lack of superb arms will limit the post-season action of each of these teams. Impossible to name anyone in this league who can bump it up into the mid 80's, let alone dominate a game like players in the past (Lockwood, Larsen)

Franken Vol , you sound like a well informed fan, it is funny to here talk about velocities of pitchers, I would say the comment about the districts velocity is very true , but I am sure someone will argue with you, it always makes me laugh what people think is 85mph, when it is really 79mphI would line this district up , West, Karn, Halls, Oak Ridge, Powell, Central,Clinton, C C

People forget that 80mph is a good number; therefore, they don't like to say low 80's. It is because of this that people create the mid and upper 80's myth for most players. A high school pitcher who can consistently throw around 80, hit spots, and use two or three pitches can be successful. It is unlikely, however, that these boys win championships in AAA. People are talking about some phenomenal arms in the state right now. For instance, Sonny Gray at Smyrna supposedly can hit the mid to upper 90's, a velocity well out of range for 99% of all high school kids. These arms are the exceptions, not the rule.

excellent, I totally agree to everything you said, 80 can win, but it won't get you to the state tourney

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
