Recommended Posts

Had a chance to see Oakland play a couple games this weekend. They are solid team. looks like pitching is going to be the question mark for them. They played well against Science Hill; but got beat in the 7th. The Ward kid, pitching and SS is one of the best players in M TN. They are loaded with talent and as the season goes on, this team should get stronger. This district is going to be fun to watch.......Watched Siegel as well; and I was very impressed with what I saw out of them. They are one of the best, if not the best in this district.

I saw both of them play, and Oakland has faced a lot better pitching then siegel. Science hill didn't pitch there number 1 against siegel but did against Oakland , should tell you something

Illini- You beat me to the question. I didnt think, nor do most, that LaVergne had much talent. I made it out to Oakland last night and watched them play. This is a senior loaded team that is flying under the radar. I understand there pitchers may get weaker after 3 pretty strong guys; but thats all it takes to win district series. They are well coached, and last night executed every bunt, hit and run to beat Oakland.

 

The winner of this district could have 4 or 5 losses

I predicted at the start of the year that 10 - 5 could win the district this year. I believe that even more after day 1. It is going to be a wide open district with lot's of ups and downs. In the 4 years of high school this is the most parity I have seen. There is no week or even game that you can take off. Things may start to shake out a little as the season progresses but if day 1 is anything like the season it will be a lot of fun to watch.

MJ scrimmaged, Oakland, Riverdale and played Siegel and LaVergne.....

 

We threw a seasoned good pitcher at LaVergne, while it was 34 degrees, and he did have 9 k's they also had 2 key hits, and they swung the bats from top to bottom......

 

There pitching was not real good, but MJ did not hit the ball so 4-1 was the score

 

I agree your district is tough this year... 9AAA MJ and Beech that's it

If Lavergne keeps on winning, maybe the DNJ will eventually put a blurb about them in the 7AAA round-up section. DNJ seems to have a man crush on a few other teams in the area.

 

Too bad a team that's had a string of losing seasons has a surprisingly good start and gets no recognition from the local newspaper.

 

If they sweep Oakland, I hope the DNJ at least acknowledges it.

Round Up Section in DNJ and Tennessean coverage is driven by calling the sports-desk at each paper with scores and details. I call the DNJ and the Tennessean after each game with information on Riverdale's wins and losses....

I agree, the DNJ has a man crush on other teams in Rutherford Co. Anyway, Lavernge is a good team; but they didnt sweep Oakland. Oakland was able to squeeze out a 1-0 win Thursday night.....This district is going to be fun to watch!!

 

I have also been impressed with several players in this district that I have seen so far(I know there are many more that I will get to see). Sutton, Snider at Riverdale. Ward, Hawkins and Matrone at Oakland- Johnson, lyons and Reynolds for Lavernge

Did you send in the picture of Riverdale's catcher not tagging Smyrna's runner at plate in game 2. LOL Riverdale played a good series but it would have been nice to get a call like that right in 1 to 0 game.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
