CJDore Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I am interested in who y'all think the best teams will be from this district and who the impact players will be? My predictions are: 1. Brentwood, with many seniors leading the offense, and Shelton leading the rotation, this will be a tough team to beat. The loss of Ashcraft won't hurt as bad as people think. 2. Franklin, Don't know much about them but a scrappy team who will fight down to the last out, as they did with ravenwood and brentwood last year in the district tournament. The loss of Little will hurt but they will find a way to bounce back. 3. Ravenwood, with the new coach coming in, going to be hard to predict how they will pan out. They have limited varsity experience but with Ben Brock leading the rotation they will put up a fight. Look for surprising young talent to be a key role in their success this year on the varsity level. 4. Centenial, with a young class last year, they will have many guys coming up that have played varsity last year. Good young talent and will be especially good in years to come. 5. Indy, with the losses of Miller, Tuscano, Burdick, and other talented players, they will be a much weaker team than this district has seen over the past couple of years. Look for surprising young talent to play a key role in their success. 6. Hillsburro, Never a competitor in the district. Actually Brentwood does not have many Srs. They are loaded with Jrs. It looks like 3 Jr pitchers may lead the staff (Shelton, Johnson, Walker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyEagle09 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Like I said previously this district is down. The so called front runner,Franklin, has not had a winning season since their new coach has been there. If Coach Moore had not had his team gutted from Summit opening they would be the clear favorite again. It is really sad to see this once proud district fall in terms of talent. Also, yes at least one team will get to sub-state from this district because they will go up against a pathetic metro team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides him no big player was lost to Summit. Franklin will win the district and play in a sub-state game lead by their pitching staff.

Franklin will win the district and play in a sub-state game lead by their pitching staff. They lost more than one player. Burdick will hurt the most, but some of their best JV players also are not at Summit. The losses I talked about was in regards to depth that has helped the Eagles the last 4 seasons. This season Coach Moore will not have that advantage. Coach Moore is still the best coach in the district. What has Franklin done the last couple of years that makes them the favorite? When was the last time they had a winning season? Franklin like the rest of the district doesn't truly have an ace. This district is up for grabs, because the talent is way down.

Franklin does not have experience with winning and won't know how to handle success. I would put the district between Ravenwood and Brentwood. I think Ravenwood takes 2 of 3.

There about two to three more very talented players other than DB who would have probably started at Indy this year as Sophomores but are now at Summit.

Ravenwood has zero pitching this year, and Indy lost a great senior class and didn't return anyone who poses a threat. Centennial returns alot but doesn't have any depth on pitching. Franklin and Brentwood will by far be the front runners in the district this year. I believe Franklin wins the district simply because they have so much depth in there rotation, they returned there whole starting rotation from last year. Besides Shelton Brentwood has no one who poses a threat in there rotation. Franklin has 3 guys who can all go 7 innings strong every time they step on the bump. All im saying is watch out, Franklin will raise some eyebrows this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said when was the last time Franklin had a winning season? Franklin has not won consistently since Glover has been coach. You never know what Rebel team will show up.

baseball242 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm pretty sure Indy eagle is just mad because everyone is finally going to find out how good a coach bill Moore really is.. Anyone can be good with that talent, same as the former Franklin coach who went to all the state tournaments. In my opinion glover hasn't had anything to work with since he's been there, until now. He is returning his top three Pitchers Robertson, Benorth and I think the other one is Payne from previous post. They are a little weak on hitting but still should be top two in the district it will on depend on the Brentwood Franklin series. I think both teams will make it far but I don't know how far? The rest of the district will be down and be looking to compete to get outside the district tourny.. As for Indy, I saw they lost to Oakland in a scrimmage and from what I've heard this is the worst Oakland team in this decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
