7AAA BASEBALL 2012

Going through the 7AAA thread, it's interesting to look at the predictions and how the district has worked out. Riverdale is the class of the league. Oakland is the only team, with one series remaining, that mathmatically has a chance to tie Riverdale (though not likely to happen). That was not predicted by anyone. I have only heard about rumblings from one parent at Oakland. The player could transfer at some point. This would hurt Oakland's pitching depth in the future. Like southpaw stated earlier, there are grumbling parents on every team. Hawks has gotten a lot out of this team. Certainly not a great hitting team, but their pitching has been solid. If Oakland ends up getting swept by Riverdale, the winner of the Smyrna and Siegel series would tie or even take second place all alone if they sweep. Not sure if being in second affects byes in the district tournament?

Going into the district tournament, Riverdale is the favorite. Second is up for grabs. I think that any of the teams have a shot. Not sure that Lavergne has the pitching depth to advance. Blackman needs to get on track. Martin is one of the better pitchers in the district, but hitting has not been consistent. Siegel is solid. Schultz can keep teams off the scoreboard. Smyrna may be the second most talented team. Good pitching, ability to hit the ball; especially at the top of their order. Oakland has surprised many. It is going to be a lot of fun.

First and Second place receive byes and every seed makes a difference.

 

In 7AAA the regular season winner gets an automatic berth in to the region. The regular season champion also hosts. So the site is now down to Oakland or Riverdale.

Here is a link to the tentative tournament bracket if Riverdale hosts and it is agreed on at the district meeting next week: http://www.riverdalewarriors.com/baseball/2012-district-tournament.pdf

 

Current standings: http://www.riverdalewarriors.com/baseball/standings.pdf

 

With three games to go, all six spots are up for grabs.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
