Hixson Scrimmage Weekend

[catsbackr]

I don't think anyone said that.

 

Like I said, I saw them play 2 games. They looked solid but young, very much like Hixson looked. It's very early yet.

 

They have a very good, young shortstop, I don't know his name. Ooltewah will be fine.

the catcher from ER hit 2 off the owls so there is no promise in them this year this team will be good in the later part of the year but for now they need to grow

The good, young shortstop for Ooltewah is Zach Zarzour. The Hixson shortstop that I saw play against Grace was Timmy Johnson who hit a 360 ft bomb which ain't bad for a freshman. Zach and Timmy were team mates a couple of years ago during the summer.

I think Ooltewah looked very good this past weekend. They appear to be getting good leadership from Shumaker and Smith who both hit the ball very well for this early in the season. Smith hit two bombs including a grand slam. Rimo had a fine outing against Baylor...holding them to two runs. The Owl pitching looks strong. I think the demise of Ooltewah's baseball program has been grossly exagerated.

The Owls are going to make a lot of noise.....

The East Ridge catcher is quite likely the best junior prospect in the area. It's no shame to give up a gopher ball to that young man...just make sure it's a curve ball.

Good point about not showing your best. When you play four games in one day, everybody gets one chance to throw their ace. Ooltewah threw their ace against Baylor and it worked out well for them.

With all this said, let's remember it is reaaaaaaaaal early and Saturday was not baseball weather at all.

YES,it's not how you start,but how you finish.You will see everybody's best(hopefully),when the season starts in a few weeks.

I only saw them play 1 game, but I thought Hixson looked surprisingly good. They hit several homeruns. Who was playing shortstop?

 

True, Ooltewah's sophomore pitcher did struggle somewhat, but the ump wouldn't give him anything. He had very good velocity and a nasty curveball, I think he overthrew a little, could have been excited. His name was Baugh. Their catcher is Randy Reed's son (remember Randy from Lookout Valley?) Ooltewah is loaded with sophomores, I saw them play McCallie and the Owls handled them rather easily.

 

I'll get to see some of the 5AA and 5AAA teams this weekend.

 

i was the guy taht played short-stop for hixson.my names tim johnson and im a freshman

i didnt say anyone said it i was just simply asking if anyone liked Ooltewah, i heard 2 stories about them one was good and one was they were terrible--------just trying to figure out what everyone thought.

Red Bank looked real good this weekend. They went 4-1 against some quality teams.

The owls will be fine if they play as a team. They have a nice combination of speed and some power. I'm not sure they'll dominate, but they do have the make up to make big plays. I did hear about the Baylor and McCallie game. Good timing for a grand slam against Baylor....the McCallie game ended in a tie.......I'm not sure that's handling them rather easy.
