Soxfan1 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I believe Powell will dominate district, what do you think? Powell should be favored to win. They have pitching and power. Defense is not a strength but hitting will carry them in their weak district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karnsbaseball Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I believe Powell will dominate district, what do you think? If they play to their talent level, they will certainly be dominant in 3 AAA. On an off day, Anderson County might surprise them (and maybe Halls) but outside of that, they should compete with Farragut and Science Hill for top team in East TN.

baseballfreak865 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 How can you say defense is not a strength when they're returning their whole starting infield for the third year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfan1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 How can you say defense is not a strength when they're returning their whole starting infield for the third year? They just don't field the ball well. Great kids, great arms, hit it a ton. I have seen most of these guys play since 9-10 year old ball.

I have seen most of these guys play since 9-10 year old ball. I do agree with you that defense is not their strength. But in district play, they will most likely field it as good as most of the teams. Beyond district play could be another story. I also know that these guys work really hard and you may see quite a bit of improvement in that area this season. Best of luck to all the teams this year!

AlwaysARookie Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Dominate implies that everyone else has little or no chance. Seems a little silly to predict dominance. Halls and AC both have the pitching to compete and Halls has enough bats to compete as well. Throw in fielding, players slumping, and just the roll of the ball sometimes and you have enough variables for any game. Based on returning starters, Powell will be strong. Just remember though that at some schools, underclassmen don't get to play as early. It sure doesn't mean a returning starter at one school is better than a talented junior/senior getting his chance to start at a school that tends to play seniors first. I dont see any of the top 3 losing to anyone other than the top 3. Based on the talent in the top 3, I believe on any given day they can win. I think it will be an exciting year and I look forward to seeing how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The district will be decided by how the big 3 do against each other and which one slips up against the second tier teams (HVA, Karns and Oak Ridge).
