6AA Really Up-for Grabs!

[chattacane]

OK I will start it. The district is really up for grabs. IMO Central is the team to beat with Red Bank Right behind them. East Hamilton comming in 3rd, and they must replace some pitching if we have any shot. Hagen Wilkey from Red Bank is the real deal on the mound, and might be one of the top AA pitchers in the State. The kid from Central is also a great pitcher (Dominique) Keep an eye out for Matty Henshaw and Hunter Smith from East Ham they could surprise some folks on the hill.

Chattanooga Central is the team to beat in 6AA. They are very deep in pitching this season thanks to a couple of transfers. SR's Dominique Dawson, Colton Morgan and Sophomore Tyler Lowe return on the mound along with Sr Transfer Chase Spurgeon, Sr Bo Evans, and Jr Tristan Wood. Catcher Ryan Poole is one of the best catchers not only in the Chattanooga area, but in the state. Sophomore's Tyler Lowe, Gabe Fomby, and Scout Morgan will provide the youth movement needed to possibly get this team to the next level. There is a lot of high expectations on Hwy 58 this year and this team will not settle for nothing short of a trip to Murfreesboro.

 

Behind Central, Look for Red Bank to make a run at the district title also. Lions took a hit when Catcher Tyler Phillips hurt his knee in Football. Not sure if or when he will return to the line up. Hagen Wilkey is a superstar and should lead this team along with fellow Senior Gage Winton and Ryder Pierce.

 

East Hamilton will drop to third this season after losing several off last years team. Matty Hinshaw and Austin Gatewood and Hunter Smith to lead.

 

Tyner may have one of there better teams, but will not be enough to overtake the 3 powers above. Pitcher Chae Butler is a very solid pitcher and should do pretty well this season.

 

Look for Hixson to be much improved than last year, but still may be a few years away from competing.

 

East Ridge, Brainerd and Howard will round out the bottom of the district.

Forgot about Poole,

You are correct in saying that Tyler Phillips is recovering from a knee injury, but he is recovering quickly and is ahead of what is expected. He will return around spring break but not resume his catching duties this year. Gage Winton will do a great job filling in that spot. Tyler will be attending Covenant in the fall and will be able to resume his catching duties then for the Scots. Tyler will be on the field for the Lions somewhere, probably 1 st base.

Is Colton Morgan the kid that also plays basketball?

Tyler is a great player. Hope he has a speedy recovery and a great career at Covenant next season. He is one of the better hitters in this area.

Yes, Colton plays basketball.

Sequatchie and Red Bank scrimmaged Saturday and played pretty evenly. Neither team did a lot at the plate against the early pitchers.

Very disappointing senior year for him, not finishing football and now not getting to finish behind the plate. At the end of the season last year he throwing out 70% of the guys stealing at 2nd base and this year probably would have probably been higher. He was finally beginning to excel behind the plate. He has a long way to go to get his bat back up to speed but he is ready to hit it head on and is also looking forward to playing college ball next year.

You may be much overestimating Central's talent a little!

 

A trip to the State? LOL.

Pounders got beat up a little vs Ga home school, in scrimmage. But it was a scrimmiage and that team is pretty good. East Ham played 3 5 inning games vs McCallie last Sat. tied 1st 6-6, won second 7-2, lost third 10-5.

 

I think Central will be pretty good, very good pitching, and the hitting will come. Remember Red Bank went to Murfreesboro with a losing record last year, its who gets hot at the right time.

[catsbackr]

Red Bank last year was a fluke. Not too many teams with a losing record make it to the 'Boro. I agree they got hot at the right time.
