Seems like 4 solid picks to me. It all comes down to who is available to pitch. Not sure what Lake County or Eagleville has but Summertown is always a safe pick when they’re in the running. From what I know, if Greenback’s bats can keep producing, they CAN make it to the championship game. Summertown beat Greenback 7-0 early in the season. It was a double header for GB and one play sucked the life out of them. I believe Summertown’s ace was on the hill.

Summertown is strong but all the teams that make the show are good and a couple of errors can be a game changer. Best of luck to y’all Kees. It’s a big accomplishment just to make it.

IMO...this Is our best group draw compared to our previous 2 years in the 'Boro.

It’s definitely the best draw. I don’t think we’ll be seeing a Ryan Weathers this year.

You might be surprised.

Your correct, you will not be seeing Ryan Weathers. But, if Loretto throws their #2  James in the first game, you will see Mr. Baseball (front runner IMO), Tennessee commit Blade Tidwell. Just coming off a no-no and walk off grand slam. He can run it up to 94-95 mph. It could be a great matchup round 2 potentially.

I had the “privilege” of trying to hit off Ryan Weathers. There’s a big difference in a 95 mph fastball and a 95 mph fastball with movement. I’ve never hit off a pitcher that had so much run on a fastball. If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought he had some mystery riseball that he threw. We’ll definitely see some good pitchers but I very seriously doubt that anyone has the National Gatorade Player of the Year on their team this year.

I’m hoping TCA and Loretto face off and it’s not at the same time as our game. Would be a fun matchup to watch. I’ve heard that TCA is loaded with pitching but everyone plays a different schedule and some are easier than others. So it’s hard to gauge how effective one’s pitching/batting is.

I could be mistaken but I think TCA has only played one team that made it to state. Greenback has 5 opponents playing at state this year so there will be a lot of questions answered after TCA’s second game against Loretto. Other side will be interesting with Eagleville Summertown and Greenback.
