The District 7-AAA Tournament at Riverdale saw 3 pretty good ones:

 

Amhir Watkins of Blackman set the state record for most stolen bases in a career this season. Against Oakland he was 3 for 3 with a triple, a walk, 2 stolen bases and scored 2 runs. Against Riverdale he was 3 for 4 with a stolen base and a run scored.

 

Dougie Birkhoffer of Oakland, against Blackman, was 1 for 3 with a walk and scored a run. The next

game against White County he was 2 for 3, with a walk, reaching base all four times (other time

on an error) and scored 2 runs. Against Cookeville he was 1 for 3 with a HBP, a walk and reached

on an error and scored 2 runs. In the rematch with Blackman he was 1 for 1 with 3 walks and

scored a run. Against Riverdale in the finals he was 3 for 4 with a walk.

 

and Riverdale's Nicky Luper was of 1 for 2 with a walk in one game and in the championship game

against Oakland was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk, reaching base all four times, and scored 2 runs.

 

Three pretty good leadoff hitters - agreed?

No doubt about it it's Ahmir Watkins from Blackman High School. Hit over 400 this year and set the state high school stolen base record this year. Nobody tops that one. Wwhen he gets on nobody throws him out and he puts a tremendous amount of pressure on opposing pitching. He is the top man.

I will have to say Ahmir Watkins is the best. I looked at the Blackmans web site and his stats are awesome. He had 51 hits out of 104 at bats for an avg. of .490. 24 rbi's as a leadoff hitter, .721 slug. percentage, .555 OBP, only struck out 5 times, and 42 stolen bases. He also led the team in doubles and triples.

    • The amount of people pooing on UH is crazy. They're a noticably better team than last year when they made state and were competitive , AND they run ruled Eagleville a few weeks ago. Now I understand Eagleville was missing a few guys, but they still. They. Run. Ruled. Eagleville. 1st single A team to run rule Eagleville since when? Pre 2017??
    • If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!
    • They will probably, struggle 
    • Dyersburg is going to be good, really good. As mentioned, they have a lot of talent on the way and the trio of Chelby, Joya, and KayKay will only be better with a full season together under their belt. To me, playing in Murfreesboro two consecutive postseasons will only serve to make them more dangerous if/when they stand among the final eight teams this March. Experience, good or bad, always makes you better. And not only do they have experience, they know how to win there. Schedules are coming together for all of the teams and I am excited about what I am seeing on the preliminary drafts on Dyersburg’s schedule. I know I am being a tease, but it’s simply not my place to announce what another school is doing. With that said, I won’t go into specifics. However, I am excited about renewed home and away contracts for the non-district portion of the calendar. I think west Tennessee will have a lot of interest as well.
    • What does everyone have in the final 8? In no particular order. 1. Eagleville 2. Gordonsville 3. Greenback 4. Oakdale 5. South Pitt/ East Robertson-- not sure 6. Richland 7. Halls 8. Union City
