Unaka Baseball

[basketballman]

It looks like Unaka Baseball is up and running for another Confrence, District, Regional, Sub-State Championship, and also a State Tournament trip. Returning almost all starters from the 2009 squad. Led by arguably two Division 1 prospects the Rangers look as they can't be stopped in their Leauge. Goodluck District 1 competing with those boys.

who are the two players you are talkin about going division 1?

they have pierce returning for them on the mound..

they also have chambers (L) returning 2 pitch

and peterson is returning

pierce and peterson will be tough to beat when they are on the mound

Good job on keeping friends in East Tn. Yes we know your good. Yes we know you have a good pitcher. And yes we know your predicted to win the district and if you win the district on not the region theb you are horrible as was proved last year. But why would you get on here in december and started bragging. I hope your a player and the coach finds out who you are. I know acey wouldn't tolerate much of that.

I have never heard of Unuka.

Not a player, im a follower of all the baseball in this area of East Tennessee. I follow all baseball from 1a-3a. I'm making judgements based on what i saw over the course of last year.

Unaka won district and regional last year, what are you talking about?

[creekercalhoun]

They should be pretty solid defensively with whoever they stick on the mound. they have 3 or 4 kids that can play different positions which will help us when those other 3 arent on the bump. I look for Unaka to be strong in the conference and can compete with alot of their teams they have scheduled out of conference. They got a good group of young players that can help out along with 5 or 6 starters returning.

 

But all in all they have a good group of kids that work hard and want to get better everyday. Good luck and have a great season.

Sounded confusing to me too. I think what he was trying to say is that District 2 is horrible and that was proved last year when both teams from district one advanced.

I have never heard of Unuka.

guess you havent been to the state tournament in the past half decade =], looks like Unaka gets an early start with baseball as the bball team went out to NG in the play in game, all the guys should be throwing by monday, not much else they can do field is soaked and girls team still uses the gym so cant put nets up.

Upper East TN Class A baseball is weak - you can look at the state results of Unaka and see that.. they not only get beat, a lot of times they get killed...

[creekercalhoun]

How do you get that Unaka baseball is weak? They have to get there the same way every other team does.Our program just does it on a consistent basis. Sure the conference and region is a little down but you will have that from time to time it's just a cycle. But the main point is we get down there year after year and Coach Ensor's program is by far the most dominant program in the single A class in Upper East Tennessee year in and year out along with Rockwood.

Coach RC,

 

You definitely have established the Unaka program up on the mtn. Let me ask what this year looks like. I have enjoyed keeping up with 1A and 1AA the last few years. What does it look like this year?

 

My thoughts;

1. Without a doubt - Unaka - 7 returning starters? Lost one great bat and catcher and #2 pitcher

2. Whew - Hampton - graduated two picthers and maybe 1 other - Hits as wells as any of the other 3 teams. This may be there year to be a giant killer in Carter Co. especially after the tough loss last year.

3. University - I know this is a stretch but they played a lot of young guys that have a year of playing experience now. Should be tight with them and NG for 3rd.

4. NGHS - Graduated Hopson - will be interesting to see how they respond. - Transfer from CDHS Lady I think should help if he plays - Also heard he lost the Lucas kid to Sullivan South - Shelton keeps quiet but we all know he works hard. He graduated 4 or 5 last year. He's just down too far for 2nd again.

5. Cloudland - Their preseason work has been light due to the weather - Kendall is a great guy but the kids seem to focus on other sports at Cloudland. This may be his year to catch UH or NG sleeping one day and we could see them in 4th or maybe 3rd. But I think they are here again.

 

Let me know your thoughts? 2 weeks til opening day! What do the early season matchups look like?
