District 3AA Predictions

[TravelBallCoach]

Can Pigeon Forge beat Gibbs? Who are the other top challengers?

[showvol]

In my opinion, Pigeon Forge and Gibbs are the top 2 teams in this district talent wise but I haven't seen Gatlinburg-Pittman and Union County since they are new to the district. But I'll give the advantage to Gibbs as they return all but one from last year's team.

This should be a great matchup with the Pitching that both teams have in place. However, News Sentinel has Pigeon Forge ranked higher so they have to be the Favorite in District.

PF lost 7 starters while gibbs returns 8 from a team that split a pair of 1 run games with PF last year.

Advantage Gibbs.

I agree with Big advantage Gibbs ! On paper, Gibbs should walk the dog in their district with that many returning starters for sure. Both teams are very well coached so I'm sure they will be ready to play. Gibbs should have much more depth as well being about twice the student size as PF. We played PF in the "Play Day" games and faced one of the freshman (Big kid) and he threw very well against Newport for us. The inexperience hurt them in the outfield so they have work to do. Also scrimmaged Gibbs and we faced Willis and others and won 6-0. I think hitting will be the big question for Gibbs but their pitching will be excellent with Willis and Bates. PF has 2 strong pitchers and some young tallent ( 2 Freshman) as well ,but losing several seniors will take its toll. I hope I have the names correct. Good luck to both teams !
