AAA State Semi Final Prediction

Recommended Posts

Farragut beats Houston twice & Bartlett beats Hardin Valley twice. After watching the teams play in Murfreesboro, I think Hardin Valley is a one horse pony with Neely & Bartlet is just a better team. On the other side of the bracket, Farragut is way better than Houston & had everything that could go wrong, go wrong for them in the quarter finals.

 

Baseball is a funny game but after seeing the best TN has to offer, it is my opinion that Farragut & Houston are the two best teams in the state & Farragut is better from top to bottom. Now, this doesn't mean they will win but they have the most talent.

 

Bartlett & Hardin Valley would have been eliminated if they were on the other side of the bracket but I think Farragut will play Bartlett in the championship game Fri & Farragut will win their 50th ot 100th state championship or whatever it is now.

 

Good luck to all.

I agree that pool A is a deeper pool than B, but to say HVA or Bartlett would be out already is reaching a bit. HVA may be a one horse pony but they are still solid. And Bartlett is 2-0 against Houston this year. Houston may be the best team in the state but sometimes one team just has another teams number. I think Bartlett will beat HVA twice and Houston eliminates Farragut in the 1st game and it will be a West TN final. I have seen Houston play quite a bit and after their win over Farragut I don't see how you can say Farragut is "way better than Houston". Houston is on a hot streak right now and will probably win it all. I'm pulling for Bartlett but they will have their hands full, as will Farragut. If Houston and Bartlett play in the final it will be a great game with A+ pitching for Bartlett against A+ hitting for Houston.

Ravenwood is a very good team that was hit with injuries at the wrong time and thus did not show as well as thought. ( going 1-2 )   Bryce Denton is a stud pitcher and extreme competitor that would have pitched either 1 st or 2 nd game if shoulder was healthy.   Miss St commit 2B Severance - a junior - was out with broken wrist. He did try to pitch with a brace on in relief to help the team

It is always about pitching and defense every year- and staying in winners bracket.

The Farragut , Houston , Ravenwood, East Hamilton bracket was stacked.

Should be fun to watch today..

In the 3rd inning when Houston scored 5 runs, Farragut had 2 outs, nobody on & 0-2 count on the batter. Farragut's pitcher inexplicably walked the next 3 guys, then gives up a double & a single. The umpire's strike zone changed for about a 5 minute stretch & then went back to what it was before.

Farragut certainly had many opportunities to take care of business early on tho. They stranded 8 runners in the first 3 innings. Give Houston credit, they got their 2 hits when it mattered

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
