TCA basically played their freshman team in this game. There is no question that you have to consider TCA as one of the heavy favorites to win the class A State title. Solid bats throughout the lineup, good defense in the field, and a team that is pitching rich on the mound. No question TCA will be a hard out.

I will have to take a look @ the schedules. Do you mean of the teams still left in the postseason or just in general from Class A? 2 hours ago, Baseballfan1478 said: TCA over MAHS 22-0 to advance to State. TCA had a 20 run 2nd inning. WOW! I knew MAHS would get beat pretty easily but didn't expect it to be that easy. I think the bottom of the 2nd inning lasted like 30-35 minutes. Geez!

tonybologna Posted May 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 By the way, there was actually 3 Regional Championship games played tonight. I got them all 3 right so I went 18-6 overall with my Regional Finals picks. Still in shock over the Farragut loss when I picked the game to be a run rule game for Farragut. LOL! Will post up my Sectional picks soon. Thanks guys for the discussion & great posts we're having from this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybologna Posted May 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'll wait until after tomorrow's final Sectional game between Sequatchie County & Signal Mountain to post my record for the Sectional picks. I have missed quite a few I know that with 1 more left to go. I will also post comments about what I thought about these Sectional games as well.

tonybologna Posted May 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) @HingleMccringleberry I have went through the Class A baseball teams that have been or are still in the postseason. I have came up with 10 teams that I've decided on having the toughest schedules for 2019. I have not yet placed them in order of the hardest down to the least hardest. I will list them here & post back later with them in order starting with the team I think has had the toughest schedule: 1. Eagleville 2. Gordonsville 3. Grace Christian- Franklin 4. Summertown 5. Columbia Academy 6. Loretto 7. East Robertson 8. Trinity Christian 9. Lake County 10. Greenback Edited May 18, 2019 by tonybologna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybologna Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Well, now that all of the Sectional games are completed I can post my record for my predictions. Not so good. I went 16-8 in total from all 3 classes (A-AAA). That's a 66.66 winning %. I went down in % from my Regional Finals picks (72.72%). I guess that I could say that's expected because the games only get tougher to predict as we advance in the postseason. I will have ALL of the State Quarterfinal picks too submitted by Monday evening. The matchups are set in all 3 classes (A-AAA) plus the Semifinals for DII-A & DII-AA as well. I will include the DII Semifinal picks as well this time. I think the most surprising teams to make the state tourney for baseball from each class are Grace-Franklin (Class A), Haywood (Class AA), & Arlington (Class AAA). Forrest from Class AA with their record could be considered a surprise but not because of their tradition. Lake County from Class A is a little bit of a surprise to me also. The rest of the 19 teams from DI really aren't a surprise for me to see them make the state tourney. However, I thought a select few of them wouldn't make it because the road to make the state seemed too tough for them.
