With 8 sites - how would one pick a all-tournament team? it is easy in basketball - they are all on the same court.

 

And stats aren't really a good indicator.

 

Lets look at just trying to pick an all-tournament team just from the Riverdale site:

 

Nominees could include:

 

Rockwood:

 

CF Tyler Skidmore 3-7 .287 1 HR 3 RBI

 

C Chase Clem 1-3 .333 0 HR 0 RBI 1 HBP 2 SH

 

3B Bryant Allen 1-4 .250 4 GREAT Plays in the field at 3rd Base

1B Logan Hendrix 7-10 .700 0 HR 4 RBI

 

SS Clint Gobbell 5-10 .500 0 HR 4 RBI

 

3B/P Chris Carrington 5-11 .455 0 HR 5 RBI

1-0 0.00 ERA 7 IP 8 SO 0 BB 3 Hits

 

2B Logan Harville 5-11 .455 1 HR 1 RBI

 

CF K.J. Roberts 3-9 .333 1 HR 4 RBI

 

FCS:

1B G.L. Waynick 4-11 .364 0 HR 4 RBI

 

P Joey Mallicoat 0-0 1.24 ERA 5 2/3 IP

 

And Pool Winner JCS:

 

MVP(?) 3B/P Martin Key 5-9 .556 1 HR 2 RBI

 

His RBI's were a walk-off single in the 8th and a lead-off

walk-off home run in the 7th in his first two games.

 

2 IP 0.00 ERA

 

CF Tanner Perkins 5-9 .556 0 HR 2 RBI

 

SS Chase Presley 4-10 .400 1 HR 5 RBI

 

2B Ryan White 3-8 .375 0 HR 0 RBI

 

DH Philip McConkey 3-10 .300 1 HR 5 RBI

 

P Patrick Taggart 1-0 2.62 ERA 8IP

 

P Cody Jones 1-0 3.50 ERA 6 IP 7 SO 1 BB

 

Okay - pick a team from that plus the 4 teams from the other pool I didn't get to see plus the state final:

Taggart threw 7 IP on two days rest to go to 2-0 and allowed 3 earned runs - is he the 'A' MVP?

 

or Martin Key - who went 2-3 in championship game? and drove in 2 runs.

Always on the ball, Limbaugh. I think that if all of the coaches got together at some point or one of the TSSAA officials for each site collaborated, an all-tourney team could be done. It may be a stretch though. I will say this without a doubt; the all-tournament announcer award goes to David Limbaugh and staff at Riverdale. A+ job, fellas.

All-tournament team was eliminated when the tournament was enlarged to eight teams with the move to Memphis. One of the reasons was softball had an 8-team tournament and no all-tournament team, so baseball shouldn't have one either.

 

I believe it would be extremely difficult to select an all-tournament team, as David suggested. Even if you let coaches select, there are still 4 teams they didn't see everyday. Media members, unless it's from a smaller school, wouldn't have the same reporter covering it.

 

I know even for a 4-team tournament it is tough to pick an all-tournament team - by position - without leaving someone off.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
