#1 Halls will host #8 (most likely Campbell Co.)

#4 Oak Ridge vs #5 Clinton

 

#2 Winner of Powell/HVA will host #7 Karns

#3 Loser of Powell/HVA vs #6 A.C.

 

After the first 2 days, the remainder of the tournament will be at Halls.

It should be interesting. Halls is playing really well right now. They seemed a little tight with so much on the line against Karns but managed to win. They should win their bracket. The other side with Powell and HVA will depend on who wins the completion game (of Wed's game) on Monday and who they have to use to win it. I still like Powell to win it all.

Powell plays 3 games in Loudon, starting tonight, before the resuming of last night's game. I don't expect either Owenby to pitch in Loudon, so look for them to be ready for Hardin Valley on Monday. The only other Powell game next week before Friday's district tourney opener is the Senior Night game against Webb on Wednesday.

Powell could certainly win it all, but I dont think they will. They can go in the tank in a hurry as evidenced by being run ruled several times this season. Championship teams rarely have so many embarrassing losses. Their defense and maybe mental side of game may be their downfall. They are however a momentum team and if they get hot look out.

 

Halls is playing well lately and with the emergence of Gallion giving them another solid pitching option. Corccione has been pitching well and Painter always performs. Gallion pitched 9 innings against a good Science Hill team. Halla won in 11th on as Austin Smith hit a game tying HR then later a game winning walk off HR.

I would consider Halls the favorite. They have had several players develop this year. At the start of the season, I would said Powell definately had the most talent and now Im not sure they do.

 

Hardin Valley will be Hardinn Valley. They have less overall starting talent than Powell and Halls, but plenty of talent to beat anyone. They have the ability to win at any time, but I dont see the pitching to get them though like last year. I like their offensive firepower, running game and solid defense. If they get the 3 seed, dont see them going far. They definately need to beat powell monday.

 

Oak Ridge has some nice young talent and Lane is throwing great. The biggest issue for them is they have only 1 Lane and they need at least 2. They have good arms developing but they arent as seasoned reliable as some of the other teams. Oak Ridge plays hard all the time. They have enough talent to make some noise and I am sure they will give maximun effort. They will be a serious contender for first next year, But not this year.

 

Not sure what to say about AC. They have Durand and I believe Tackett can pitch now. If that is correct, they will have a chance to make some noise. Their defense will be their downfall. They have some nice talentb but much of it has not stepped up this year. They have enough top end talent to win any ONE game. I just dont see enough defense and consistency to take the tournament.

 

Clinton will not have a chance to contend, but I do want to give them a plug. Two years ago, I thought this team would be beyond horrible this year. They have obviously coached, worked and developed players. You can tell that some effort was expended by everyone involved. My hat is off to the Clinton baseball program and the scrappy team they fielded this year.

Great post!

 

I agree that Halls is the favorite. They are playing good ball right now. Great win against Science Hill Friday night. Big game coming up for Powell and HVA Monday night. Should be a great tournament!

FYI....While I agree with almost your entire post, Powell has only been run-ruled once this season.

However, they did go in the tank in a hurry that game.

[ManU4Life]

HVA defeats Powell 1-0.

Fielden hit a single to start HVA off in the 7th. Fielden was replaced with Baxter Jones at 2nd. Eventually Smoak (HVA catcher). Hit a single that scored Jones from 2nd. Both teams had chances to score before the 7th. Good defense and good pitching by Drake Owenby and Will Neely.

Thanks for the correction. I was referring to the weekend in the tri-cities where they had a few bad losses. That said, Its tourney time and what anyone has done before now is history. It should be interesting.

Wow, the HVA program continues to impress me. As I said in a much earlier post, these guys have been out there working every day after school since early Fall, so they deserve the reward of a successful season. Good luck to everyone later this week. Tournament should be a good one.
