It has been quoted on this thread Science Hill is the team to beat this year. Maybe so. Don't count out Dobyns-Bennett or Crockett just yet as either team could take the 1st place title. Lots of talent on each. Does anybody know for sure if the District tournament will be held at Central?

Thats correct.Dist. at Central May 1-7 - Regionals May 11-13 - Sectional May 15 - State May 19-22

DB was Crocketts whipping boy last year cause they were young.That is not the case this year.If DB pitching can stay healthy,Crockett will have a battle on its hands.THS will also be good.Don't forget South either with Archer.

DBs first scrimmage Feb.26 Happy Valley @ home 4:30 First game March 10 @6:00 away @ D.Crockett.

Write it down. DB 5th! I love it!

 

 

 

The pitching in the Big 9 this year looks to be very good. There are several men consistantly above 85.

 

The Hill : McKinney (GA. Tech)and Norris upper 80's +, Nat Pat and Sharpe are tuff as well

 

THS: Krebbs (Carson Newman)has gas , Sleeper kid from NC, couple of strong underclass arms

 

South: Archer (has offers) should be at his best ever this year

 

Volunteer: Frazier (Milligan)

 

Crockett: Massie (Milligan) and Freeman

 

Boone: Connell (soph) lefty , stays healthly and he is high 80's

 

The Tribe: Harvey (has offers) , Overcast, Doran , Brandon got the job done late last year and summer. Doran and Fantin have had a great winter

 

Have not heard much from East or Central.

Hmmmm, interesting order you got going here. DB in fifth - now that's funny I don't care who you are. Not much respect for the Indian nation. Volunteer ahead of Boone and Central?? /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

I believe it will be

SH - got players running out their dugout. They have guys that will not play that could start anywhere on other teams.

South - will ride the arm of Archer. It will drop off after him, if his arm doesn't drop off first.

THS or Boone - Krebbs is the man for THS. If he stays on, you can count those games. If he does like he can, they could be in trouble.

Boone - have a lot of throwers. It will be interesting to see how they can come together. A lot of them only played sparingly last year. The younger Connell did not throw much last year due to basketball injury so it will be interesting to see how he does in high school.

DB - They also do not have a pitcher that is dominant. They have several throwers.

Crockett - Massey and Freeman are pitchers. Massey did not have a good summer and Freeman is sporadic. They can't win the big games.

East - They had a great JV last year and have some good players coming.

Central - Has the players just can't seem to play together.

Volunteer - Got killed last summer in many games.

 

It will be interesting to see how coaches play SH. Will they throw their aces and try to win or throw someone and try to get lucky and not get beat bad.

Most teams have a dominant pitcher, but most don't have two that are consistent.

NET fan you had been doing so well as of late. But this is some funny stuff here.

 

Makes no sense at all. Not one single good baseball point made.

 

Give us some help here. How bout a SH player that won't play and where he beats a starter out at THS or DB please.

He has two third basemen who have both signed college scholarships.

All the sophomores that have played ;r (oppers who will not play. One who played ss last year at state that will not play.

SH is loaded with talent and does not have enough slots for them on field.

Sharp will only pitch and yet is one of the better outfielders and hitters in conerence

Come on NET you are losing some street cred here. Take the blinders off.

 

You said "They have guys that will not play that could start anywhere on other teams"

 

SH does have some depth and Sharpe is a good ball player no question. But really could he knock out Krebbs @ 3rd? Crawford @ SS? Freeman in the OF?

[DCHS]

What I do like about the league this year is most of the teams have a pitcher that could give them a shot anytime they take the hill. True SHHS will win the league, but due to the pitching depth of the league they are going to have do more than throw their hats out on the field to get a win. They will have some battles during the regular season and will not have to depend on going out of the area to face quality teams. This will help the whole league come post season time. I think that has hurt our teams in the past. It is usually the Big 2 and the Little 7, with not much of a challenge for the top two (in league play). This year is more balanced than in recent years, which will allow our reps in the sub-state to be more battle tested. Cant wait until it starts. Good luck to all teams and hopefully the State Championship comes back to the Big 9. It's been 11 years.

You are the one blinded. The ones you named are the best at their positions. I said beat out players. Are you telling me that Sharp could not beat out a player on Tn high. Crockett. Boone. DB or any other. That is what I said. Read not interpret
