I feel like in the next couple years it will be a tight battle between HVA (young infield and neely), Karns (all around young team with potential), Powell (always good and Havana the next two years), AC (Tacket and Stookesberry will be very good), and maybe Oak Ridge (not sure yet)

Among the teams you mentioned I really like HVA and OR. Those two programs play in the summer together, work year round together. They for sure don't do that at Karns. Not sure about AC or Powell but the two teams in the winners bracket have worked two years and in my opinion put in more time together than any others in the district.

HVA this year has been playing Freshman at 3rd, SS, 2nd, and sometimes pitching with Neely and Hunt. Sophomores at Catcher and CF. The rest are seniors at RF LF and 1st. It will be a good team next year. I don't know much about the rest of the district. I imagine Karns will improve. Powell will decline a little. OR will be better.

Yes Sears will most likely be the leading candidate to take over at 1st base for Chase Kirk who is graduating.

 

 

 

 

HV is a school that does not get much press plus the school is young and so are their players. Powell always produces quality teams so they will def be back strong. I have heard there might be a coaching change there. Oak Ridge will continue to improve. Karns may have a coaching change as well. Those are the teams I follow. Don't know to much about the others.

There will be a coaching change at Powell. Coach Inman let me know earlier this afternoon that he has submitted his resignation effective at the end of the school year. He will continue to teach PE at Powell Elementary, and no - he won't be coaching softball next year at Powell or anywhere else.

 

Jeff is a good person and a good teacher. I wish him nothing but the best.

Any specific reason why? And any idea who could replace him?

What direction does the Powell baseball program go after another under achieved season

I think that Powell will certainly have a decent team next year (talent), but this year they had a boatload and still couldnt come together to win. If HVA or Clinton had as much talent as them they would make it deep into the playoffs. Its a shame.

Sears is a great player, I saw him play first out in Kingsport. He has incredible footwork and can scoop like its his job. He also has great power. Watch out 3AAA, we have a future star on our hands.

    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out. 
    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
