How about it? How is everybody looking? Thoughts on Macon coming into the district? Can't wait to get the season started!

Welcome to the T

Thanks. I read it everyday just never posted. Thought it was about time to put my 2 cents in.

Does UHS remain champs or can someone knock them off the hill?

[Onthedirt]

I think it is Uppermans to loose. They definitely have the pitching but the question is do they have the hitting to win. They will miss Bryant that is for sure.

Well season is here anyone want to comment on how it is going so far? LA has Macon tomorrow night for the first district game. Anyone know how they are? I think they lost some seniors last year but they are usually pretty tough each year I hear.

I agree with its probably Upperman's  to lose but, I have seen several of the girls from DeKalb come a long way with there hitting this past summer. If they play as a team and hit like they are able they could do very well in district play. Also they have a real talented  freshman pitcher who is also a very good hitter. I believe there pitching rotation will have enough depth that they will always have a fresh arm. should be some great district play in 8AA this year.

Not to leave anyone out. I know very little about Macon or Magnet , Cannon will be a threat with their pitching,  Hale is pitching very well right now and there defense has improved a lot of the last couple of years. Livingston with be a threat with there defense and some offensive power. They have a couple of sophomore infielders with a lot of power that could change some games. With the experience they have in there starter they could be the Cinderella of 8AA.

I agree that LA may surprise some people. They are young but play wih a lot of heart. They have an experienced RHP that is sold in Carr and a freshman lefty coming in that may surprise some people if given a chance.

Agreed.  I watched them play the other night and they were struggling at the plate.  It could have been just this one game.  There is a lot ball left to be played.

Well to answer my own question, Macon County is a team of hitters. Very good at putting the ball in play. LA had many errors and didn't hit the ball til the last inning. Defense wasn't near as solid as it was at the Beech play day. Carr pitched the first couple of innings and then the lefty Freshman came in. Errors in the field hurt but overall she threw the ball well with 6 Ks I think. So all in all need to work on keeping down the errors and work hard all the time!

DC has looked good so far, they are 4-0. They have gave up 1 run, compared to 62 runs scored.
