thanks for the update, sounds liker a good game. Who is the best teams in the district you have watched thus far?

Upperman has a pretty good team, wasn't impressed with their overall play though. W. Cannon and Ryno (LaFever) are not just good, they are consistent, which is what I look for in players. The loss of the Guffey kids athletic ability will hurt them in the long run.  Now, I am just basing that on when they played us (YI).  They only beat us 5-0, on their field, without 3 of our starting seniors (including our best pitcher), and our first time on a field due to weather.  They beat us the 2nd game in 5 innings, but again with 3 starters out and us giving up 6 errors.  I just don't see them beating MCM.  That should be the game to watch this year!  Don't see any other teams keeping up with them as bad as I hate to say that!

UHS hasn't played near as tough a schedule as MCM thus far, so still they are unproven. They have pitching. Cannon and Lafever are as good as any 1-2 in 2a. The Stanton twins are a very good 3-4 and could be 1-2's with a lot of other teams. 5-6th pitchers are Brown and Allison, threw a combine no hitter verse Jackson Co(5-0 prior to the game) and was one batter away from a perfect game. The question with UHS is with the bats. Can the score runs on top pitchers when there two top guys might be off their game? Will be an interesting matchup when UHS plays MCM. The team that emerges from that could be a player at state. Edited by UpperCumberlandMan

DC looks like they're finally getting to where we thought they would be. MCM is tough. Upperman isn't at their level. Central is definitely top at the moment.

if MCM can hit UHS, I don't see the bees keeping up with them. Cannon and Lafever are pretty tough, will be a great series. Dekalb is hitting their stride, but I think they have dug to big of a hole to climb out of.

Don't count DCS out yet, the regular season is only for seeding.  If they get on a roll into the district tournament you never know.  That is true with any team for that matter.  

 

It will depend on how our sophomore pitching develops thru the course of the year, so far so good.  Hopefully our schedule will have us ready for Upperman's pitching when the time comes.

Problem I see with Dekalb is average pitching and average bats.......and Jennings. Not bad, just average. Now, You put Jennings with the 2011-2012 group, wow. I don't think they have the bats to handle 1. Cannon 2. Lafever 3. Stanton 4. Stanton (5. Allison 6. Brown)-no hitter verse Jackson Co. Now, MCM has the bats to score on UH, question is....Can UH keep stride. Edited by UpperCumberlandMan

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
