We all knew it would happen...The random draw pits A's strongest two schools from the west against each other right off the bat...Looking at the bracket, Temple has a CAKEWALK to the final....Humboldt, Manassas, and Grace Baptist are all on one side along with Grace Christian while Temple, Cloudland, Clarksville Acad., and Summertown are on the other side...

 

Judging by the way things went today, it's time to get rid of the random draw...Seeding seems like the logical thing to do...The weaker teams from weaker regions don't deserve to coast into the championship game...Then you take the only two schools from West Tn in it and make them play each other in the 1st game?? It just doesn't make sense...

 

 

 

Well, nothing can be done so if the TSSAA wants the state championhip game to take place in the 1st round, then so be it...Let's get the predictions started...

 

I'll take my Vikings in a close one 73-69 even though I would have much rather seen this game on Friday or Saturday..

The draw is the fairest way although I would have like to have saw this game on saturday...I would say the gate would too! More money sat. than wed.

So putting the top 3 teams in A on one side of the bracket is "fair"??Temple sleepwalking into the finals is "fair"??

 

Seeding based on performance would be "fair"...Make teams earn their placement in the tourney...It really just makes the most sense..

 

Even if Humboldt was in Temple's position, I'd still have a big problem with it...Manassas and Grace are getting a raw deal here too...

The blind draw is fair...having the "best" 2 teams on the same side of the bracket us unlucky.

 

And i don't believe Temple is assuming a cakewalk right now.

/popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> It's game time boys!!! The draw of course didn't work out how everyone wanted it...or did it? We have all been wanting to see who the better team is! Instead of playing eachother for a gold/silver ball, we are playing eachother for the next round which makes this game even more intense! I love it! I'm going to take my Vikings in a low scoring matchup...

 

Humboldt 54

Manassas 50

      I believe that was last year. I was interested in the Jones vs Baker comment, so I went back and looked at GC. I am not a fan of either nor am I a baseball guru. This looks like to me the duel was not close and if the errors would not have been made Eagleville would have won. I assume you are a little biased. I do think your mph for Jeffcoat and Baker must be from last year.  Baker-85 pitches 67 strikes. 5.2 innings, 5H, 1BB, 0ER and 7K's. 3 errors  Jones- 78 pitches 37 strikes. 4 innings, 2H, 5BB, 0ER and 1K. 1 error   Adams and the UH kid are really good as well. What about South Pitt and Oakdale? I heard they have some good ones.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      I hate this for all the kids in the program and fans alike. I can't recall of anything like this before in my lifetime but I'm sure it isn't a first. After criminal investigations are complete and the TSSAA looks into this the program it will be facing Nuclear Winter for some time to come. It's always the innocent left behind that end up paying the price for something someone else has done. I'm sure the transfer portal will be very active in Clinton over the summer months. How could you find a good coach worth his salt that would take on a situation like this not knowing what will happen.

      I’ve seen Jeffcoat in person twice and he was 84-87 both times and the one time I saw Baker he was low 80’s, he actually got out dueled by Jones from ER in that outing.
