Why would Sycamore pitch to Keck so often, make someone else beat you. Makes no sense, but knowing Sycamore they probably thought they were better than Keck.

 

Good Question....as I listened over to the game over the phone I was thinking the same thing. For example, in the 5th with the score tied at 3 and first base open, they threw a fastball to Keck who turned it around to deep dead center. They did walk him on 4 straight in the 6th with the bases loaded though. I guess 1 run given up was better than 4?

From personal experience, it is better to walk a big time hitter early in the game so if there comes a time later you have to pitch to him, he becomes anxious and has a bad AB.

Probably the biggest difference in this game, other than Keck, was experience. Lexington has been there for the past several years and that big game experience does pay off when the chips are down.

 

Lexington left WAY to many players stranded on bags !! Hitting with runners in scoring position has been one of the few problems big red has had this season . Great win ! Bolivar shut out a pretty good Waverly team and now hit the road for a Wednesday night show down @ Lexington . Only 14 AA teams left standing across the state . Good luck Red Tigers , Friday nights game puts a team in STATE !

rumor has it lexington plays on a little league field.

 

 

All the more reason not to pitch to Keck. One guy has 6 rbi's and 2 bombs? He outscored you 6-3 by himself. Harpeth could have given Sycamore the scouting report. It's, 'make somebody besides Keck beat you'. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
