Word on the street is that he hyperextended it during warmups. If that is the case and he is out for a couple weeks that could hinder Upperman's pitching staff and the heart of their lineup. In previous seasons Central has put up runs against Cannon and beat him, while Lafeaver has been the arm that has given them problems. Could have been a different story this season. I am sure Central will cross Upperman's path again in the future with 6'3" Cannon on the bump. A game with him pitching has the potential to be a great game to watch.

 

I went back and looked at the stats. While Cannon lost to Magnet last year his line was 1 earned run on 3 hits with 11ks in 5 innings of work. I would have loved to see the matchup this year. Fluke injury right before the start of the game was a disappointment for sure.

agree....both LaFever and Cannon are good arms, just think Cannon is slightly better

District tourny might get interesting if the top two seeds meet in the finals. Herald Citizen: LIVINGSTON — If there was any doubt that Upperman junior pitcher Winston Cannon would be ready for this week’s District 8-AA tournament, he put those to rest. Cannon was in his first pitching appearance since suffering a slight knee injury last week. He gave up a bloop single to the first hitter he faced in Kaleb Qualls. That was erased on a double play on the next hitter. Then the last 13 outs Cannon recorded was by strikeout. The right hander has now allowed one earned run this season in 53 innings pitched.

Glad he is healthy but it won't really matter at that point, both teams will have qualified for regionals if they play each other in the district title game.  The district title game is for seeding only to determine if your first regional game is at home or on the road so I doubt he would even pitch that game.  You typically use your ace for the Monday/Friday games for the 1st regional game and the sectional game.

    • Why? Low pay. Low budget thanks to the Rotary milking the programs revenue. Foul smell. There are other negative things... Positives: the players and being toward the top of the classification numbers wise.
    • What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.

    • Athletics is just a piece. It can help them academically, socially and add confidence. I was still 17 when I finished my first quarter at UT. I was the last to get my driver's license. It's not always just for athletics.
