Elizabethton is a pretty heavy favorite to take the conference. Having made the state tournament in 2018 & also having quite a few players back from that team makes them a serious threat to return back to the state tourney. They have 2 aces on the staff in Evan Carter & Corey Russell.

These 2 are also their best bats as well. However, Betsy has an all around solid pitching & hitting team. They have lost 2 games here early on in the season but I don't feel like they will lose too many more for the regular season.

I doubt they will lose over 5 regular season games unless they fall apart or have key injuries. They do have Science Hill & Dobyns-Bennett from Class AAA on their schedule so these games could be 2 more losses because these 2 schools are traditional Class AAA powerhouses.
