can't believe no one has mentioned Will Locante from Briarcrest. He pitched two no hitters this season and has an unbeaten record. He also is signed with UT-Knoxville. He doesn't throw 96,but he has great command, great curve and not many players can hit him.

 

 

 

The night I saw him I wasn't overly impressed. He was good but not what I had built up in my mind based on what I had heard. Maybe he wasn't having his best outing so I won't make my judgment off that one time seeing him. I'll have to get out and see him again. Any idea when he is pitching again?

Laconte has two losses now, but agreed he is a very good pitcher.

Mo Mo Stewart from Cascade certainly should be put in this conversation. Not sure exactly what he has been clocked at but he can bring it. He went head to head with Will Clinard in the regionals last year and was the better pitcher that day. He had a great season last year went undefeated in the district and helped lead Cascade to their first state tournament appearance. Expect big things again from him this year as I would assume he will be playing for a big D1 school next year. If you have not had the opprotunity to see Mo Mo pitch I would highly suggest it. I think Clinard is a great pitcher but IMHO Mo Mo is better.

 

 

Neither MoMo nor Clinard are in the same class as Gray. And, velocity isn't everything. Gray adds location and movement to go with his mid-90s fastball. That's why he's one of the top 10 players in the country when healthy. The kid from Marshall County doesn't have near the command and is inconsistent, although he does have upside that is nearly rivaled by Clinard. MoMo will be a utility infielder in college.

Here's a sleeper that no one has mentioned, The Harveston kid from Pigeon Forge. I have only seen him throw a few games, But he's got great stuff. Throws consistanty mid to upper 80's with good movement on his fastball, a hard nasty slider and a major league curveball. Threw against Farragut friday and recorded 7 K's against a highly regarded nationally ranked team. This kid will be a good pick up for someone at the next level.

I never stated that Mo Mo or Clinard were on the same level as Sonny Gray. I know Sonny is the best in the state but the title of the thread asked who are the best pitchers in the state and in my opinion he is one of the best. I am not saying his the 10th, 20th, 50th, I have not seen everyone pitch but I think he is one of the best especially in single A. He will make a great ball player for someone wherever he lands. I wish he was not having the problems with his elbow that he is having because I am sure that it would help Cascade out much more to have his arm in the rotation.

Alan Walden from red bank is a flamethrower (88-93).But what sets him apart is his composure and attitude on the mound.He is a junior this year and will only continue to develope.This kid is the real deal and will only continue to get better so if u get a chance go check him out and u will leave the park with the same thoughts as me.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      2024 5A Season

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By rlh · Posted

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
