Richland should be at the top they are returning every starter, but Culleoka will be good coming off a strong finish from last year, but you can't count out CA with Workman on the hill, and the some thing of Cornersville with Cole

 

Culleoka's baseball coach has worked hard with this team, and the guys have been putting hours into running and conditioning, which is sure to pay off. Look out for the Culleoka guys to put the wood to the ball and be the team to beat! WATCH OUT, RICHLAND!!! /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

With Richland's suprise run to state last year they have to be the favorite with their offensive ability, they are all solid hitters, especially their catcher. Culleoka was strong last year but they lost a lot of seniors i think like 5 but their 3 seniors this year are all some of the best in the district so it will really depend on the new players coming in to step up if they want to have a successful year. With Cole on the mound for Cornersville they will win some ballgames but i dont know much about them this year. CA, like Culleoka, lost a lot of seniors as well but they still have that kid with the goofy throwing motion who actually was a really good pitcher still on the team so i believe them and Cornersville will end up around the same place this year. I dont know much about Huntland but i think they also lost a lot of seniors.

 

How does everyone else rank the teams in the district this year? I see it as

 

1. Richland

2. Culleoka

3. Cornersville

4. CA

5. Huntland

6. Santa Fe

7. Moore County

I'm not so sure anyone should put CA at 4th place. When Workman is on the mound he usually only needs a run or two to win a ball game. He is very effective and most teams in the district will see him once if not twice during the season. CA also has Ayers who will be available about 3 weeks into the season. Williams will probably be the # 3 when Ayers gets in the rotation. Workman and Ayers would be most teams # 1 and # 2 pitcher in this area. Williams is a solid SS when he is not pitching. Shively will log some innings from the mound that should help CA out. CA has another pitcher (Taylor) that will be available a couple weeks before District Tournaments start that will definately help. He is a lefty. I think the biggest questions for CA is who will handle the catching duties now that Jumper is gone and can they score enough runs to support their pitching staff.

A. Workman can't pitch every game

B. You will have to be able to hit because 1 or 2 runs will not do it against any decent team

C. You have to have a defense behind Workman so your "needed 1 or 2 run lead" can hold up

D. CA does not have this because they lost everybody

 

 

A. I didn't say Workman would pitch every game. I said every team in the district would probably see him at least once if not twice. The schedule works in CA's favor that they can pitch him. They do not play district games back to back like most districts do. When Workman is on the mound I have to give the advantage to CA

 

B. With Workman on the mound 1 or 2 runs can win a ball game for CA. I have seen Workman pitch a numerous amount of times.

 

C. Yes, the defense will be an issue. I even think hitting will be an issue with the team. I think the pitching is the strongest point and will do well enough to help win CA games. The middle infield will be solid with Williams at SS and Boshers at 2B. Shively and Dugger will do a good job at 1B. I'm not sure who will be on the hot corner. OF I am also not very sure of.

 

D. CA did lose a lot but not everything. Workman and Williams are returning with the new additions of Ayers and Taylor. Some of the young players will step up and hopefully fill some big shoes.

 

I am not saying that CA will win the District but I am saying I don't think they will be as bad as most think. CA has a shot to win every game that Workman pitches. You got to give him credit. Richland is the best team with the most talent hands down. Culleoka has good talent but still has some question marks.

 

Now I would like to see the Richland vs CA game when Workman and Parsons are pitching against each other. I give the upper hand to Richland just a lot more talent but it could be an awesome game.

What does CA have offensively now though? They lost every power hitter that they had. I don't think anyone is worried about their D is the offense that's a question mark

 

 

 

Hitting is the big question for CA. They will not be a power hitting team like they have been the last few years. They will have to manufacture runs with bunting, stealing, hit and run, etc...

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
