HOW IS PORTLAND DOING?

[eyeonu]

It had been a pretty good week for Portland seeing as they beat Greenbrier Wednesday. GHS was in first place. Now, they have two losses, as does Lipscomb, but I think GHS has beaten DL both times they've played.

It's a very competitive district. Whoever comes out of that district will have a shot at going to the state (both teams that come out will have a shot).

I'm not sure if Portland is capable of being one of those teams though. I just don't see there being enough pitching there.

They're hard-nosed though and will battle.

Portland doesn't lose a lot of seniors from this team, but I can't see them being much better next year unless all these kids find somewhere to play travel ball this summer. And that's probably not likely with so many of them playing football too.

HOW'S THE SMITH KID DOING HE HAD A PRETTY GOOD YEAR LAST YEAR

[eyeonu]

Daniel is a great athlete with big-time potential. However, he's still raw. He was the third/fourth starter last year. He's the No. 2 this year. I'm sure it didn't help him that he missed the first two weeks of the season playing in the state basketball tournament. He had an up and down junior senior. He appears to be swinging it pretty well right now. He has a good arm. He just needs a lot of fine tuning. I'm not sure if he has college aspirations or not.

I have heard they have good tallent but I have also heard the coach has a real attitude problem. What is the story on the guy? :confused:

[kd172001]

I think that Coach Barham for Portland is a good coach and a gret guy and this is coming from someone from Macon Co. So what does that tell ya.

I HEARD THAT DANIEL HAS WENT TO WKU ON A VISIT, I ALSO HEARD THAT VOL STATE IS INTERESTED, I BELIEVE HE HAS INTEREST IN PLAYING ON THE NEXT LEVEL

I think Barnham is an idiot and has no baseball coaching skills at all. He also needs a new finger. Haha. See you guys next week.
