Well this is it. The reigning 2A Champions goes head to head with the reigning 1A Champions. This ought to be a dandy. UC comes to town on a roll scoring 118 points in their first two games of the season while allowing 20 points. In my opinion Peabody has played better competition at least in their game with Milan. It is difficult to gauge where we stand. I thought Mitchell would be a real challenge but proved otherwise. Of course SF was nothing more than a glorified practice. So the question is " Are we really good or has our competition been that bad"?. I guess Peabody will answer that question for us. I'm am so looking forward to this game. Let's talk it up.

We beat Humboldt twice in 2012 and Mckenzie twice last year. Winning twice is possible. This game is gonna have a huge impact on the playoffs. Obviously UC is favored. I think we're due. Someone has to beat them eventually. I feel like we probably have the best chance. ROLL TIDE!!!

I think a couple of keys to Peabody being able to beat U C are being able to match up to U C physical game and not letting U C "rock you to sleep" with their running game then catch you off guard with a long pass play. Milan burned us a couple if times when we were keying on the run. We also need to establish a balance attack on offense. Should be a good game and looking forward to another big crowd at Walter Kilzer Stadium. We had an est 3500 for the Milan game. I would advise anyone going to get there early.

    • 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.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
