Not so sure about Fayetteville. I think they are losing 21 seniors off the team. They will still be good, but not sure how good. Cornersville is losing some key players, but return most skill positions. I agree that MTP will lose some key guys, but have some talented young guys as well. Huntland is not losing too much that I am aware of. Obviously Reed and a few others, but return a majority of their production. I also agree that MC is returning a ton of guys with valuable game experience and should be a contender. Richland is also returning quite a bit I believe. Could be an interesting 2020 again for sure.

For Fayetteville next year the Senior/Junior/Soph crew didn't lose any in grades 9-12 (undefeated 3 years running) I believe.  That said they did lose some kids to transfers so it will be interesting to see how they stack up.

Well, if we are talking JV and Middle School. MTP was undefeated in both last season with the middle school winning the conference championship.

Sometimes middle school success does not carry over to high school, but I do agree Fayetteville has tons of athletes.  Should be an interesting year.

Very true. Honestly probably often the case.  Schemas and teamwork are much more important at higher levels; less likely 1 or 2 talented individuals can control the game like they can at the younger levels.  And really some kids hit puberty earlier and sorta peak at 13 or 14 and then everyone else just catches up.  But its always fun to speculate.

Much like this year, should be very competitive region with not much separating 3 or 4 of the teams.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • 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.
