As I have said for 10 years, we should push baseball back 2 weeks like Kentucky.

1. Gives basketball players who advance late into playoffs fair time to prepare for baseball season.

2. Weather is usually terrible second and third weeks of March, so teams are forced inside if they have a place. What if they don't have anywhere to go? Not fair for them to just roll out and play.

3. Now state testing dates for high schools usually fall during district tournaments and this will allow more flexible scheduling to avoid conflicts with these tests.

4. TSSAA says they want season to end by graduations....bull......so what if your school is out and you are in state tournament? We did and it was easy. Plus, what, Kentucky has different graduation schedules than Tennessee? Schools graduate and different weeks anyway.

5. Summer Ball starting.....this would only affect a very small percentage of those kids in state tournament.

6. With schools being out, wouldn't this allow for more people to attend state tournament....hey that could possibly mean more $$$ for T$$AA. No brainer!!

 

Dead periods out the butt for baseball. What about this..... Take one week the week of 4th of July and one week during week of christmas. These are times when families spend the most time, but killing it in Aug.-Sept and then again in Oct.-Nov. is crazy. You can't even lift weights. Go in weight room, workout, then take 3 weeks off, and the week you come back is Thanksgiving week (Schools are closed 3 days that week.), so you are actually taking 4 weeks off. Everything you've gained in weight room is lost. Back to square one. :thumb:

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
