went and watched the farragut/powell game. excellent pitching on both sides. powell had 1 opportunity to score midway through game. # 8 hitter led off and got on, sac bunt got him over and then next 2 struck out. i thought owenby could hold the ads down, it would depend on powells bats against pfeifer. he looked every bit as good as advertised. now its time for halls to take care of business.

no way bearden beats halls. i dont think farragut can get 8 on owenby. maybe if they get to bullpen or if powell makes a bunch of errors.

 

4-AAA>>>>3-AAA. Bearden can definitely beat halls if they come out cocky. Farragut can put 10+ up on ANYONE in the state on any given night, especially a pitcher from powell haha..

Well, that little sophomore lefty from Powell shoved it up Farragut's butt for 7 whole innings. :D Far from the 10 runs you so arrogantly predicted. Phillip pitched a great game and so did Drake. :D

TheFarragutJuniorCollege, even though all you do is run your mouth on here and piss everybody off....I will still be pulling for the Admirals if they do get to Murfreesboro.

I know you're from the Clinton area so I'll give you a bit of a break on this one, but if you READ what I said, then you will read (or someone can tell you) what was actually wrote. And what I said was Farragut CAN put 10+ on anyone, CAN being the key word. So they put up 2, so what? Powell scored none, zero, cero, zip, nothing. So if I recall the rules of baseball correctly, then that means they WON. I wasn't there, but I'm sure the Owenby kid was a lefty throwing probably 76-80 mph with a slow curveball.. Farragut's always had trouble with those kids.

 

So Congrats on your moral victory, I hope you hang a banner in the school that says "09-10 Powell Panters Baseball, District 3-AAA Runner-up, Region 2-AAA Semi-Final-Runner-Up, only lost to Farragut by 2"

Actually, Drake throws quite a bit harder than 80, he does have a very good curveball, and he throws a nice straight change, which got him a couple of big strikeouts last night when he needed to make a good pitch.

 

Show some class, pal. Farragut is a tremendous baseball program. Your guys won a tough game, which is something that Farragut has a long of history of doing. Your pitcher was almost flawless, but so was Drake Ownby. There is no need to downplay what he did by trying to justify it with excuses. Drake is a sophomore and a D1 prospect. He pitched well enough to win most games, but last night he was locked in a battle with a guy who pitched just a little bit better.

 

Everybody knew/knows that Powell was a huge underdog. There's no reason to show your butt. You won a game you were supposed to win. Act like you've been there before like 99.9% of the Farragut folks whom I know do.

Seriously TheFarragutUniversity, probably shouldn't be commenting about a team that you don't even take the time to go to and watch when it's the only game in Knoxville being played last night. Farragut is a great team with tremendous talent, but people tend to dislike them because of people like you. For someone that WAS at the game, it was one of the best highschool games I've seen in a long time. Hats off to Drake and Phillip as they both pitched great games.

I am sure there are plenty of UT football fans who have never even been to game, but all they do is talk about how "good" they are. And all those "national championships" they have or are going to get every year... So what, he didn't go to the game. I don't see what that has to do with anything.

"I wasn't there, but I'm sure the Owenby kid was a lefty throwing probably 76-80 mph with a slow curveball.. Farragut's always had trouble with those kids." Quote from TheFarragutUniversity

 

I believe that in order to make a statement like the above you should be present and watch the game. "The Owenby Kid" was throwing alot harder than upper seventies. I believe that you should just give credit where credit is due. Drake AND Phillip BOTH threw great games. BOTH teams struggled offensively due to the pitching performences of the two. No excuses! And by the way I'm not a UT fan and certainly dont like UT fans that think they know it all too!

It was just a guess, and Farragut does tend to struggle with those kind of pitchers. He didn't say for a fact that he had evidence the kid was throwing 80mph, or anything. He said he was "probably"... why does everyone take everything so literally all the time? You are right, he wasn't there, and he said he wasn't, which should have given away the fact that he didn't know exactly what the kid was throwing. He was just guessing?

Well, it's really hard to determine if it actually was a "guess" with prose like this: "...I'm sure the Owenby kid was a lefty throwing probably 76-80 mph with a slow curveball...." Umhmm, they sure do probably teach fine writing skills over there at the University, I guess. :thumb:

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
