Mcminn Central and Walker Valley

[Jamone]

Mcminn Central had an off year last year and with the addition of a new coach this year, how do you guys think they will fair off against walker valley (I'm trusting that these two teams will probably be the teams left in the district) and please post if you have an honest opinion and don't just play for one of the two teams and running your mouth. . . thank you

What happened to Coach Shamblin??? He was a heck of a coach

[gtrip10]

My completely unbiased view of the teams is that Central will most likely be a tough team to beat as always, and that will be especially true when they play at Central. Only two teams in the district beat Central last year at Central, with those teams being Walker Valley (district champs) and Meigs Co. (state finalist). I do not think the loss of Shamblin will hurt Central too bad, because as good of a coach as he was, it was mainly the talent of his players (Matt Hensley, Jaime Martin specifically) which carried them to back-to-back Spring Fling appearances. To summarize, Shamblin's departure probably will not have too much of an impact on Central this year, as they will probably still compete for the district title this year with defending champs Walker Valley. Of course as always, there are my personal opinions, so take them for what they are worth.

Central has an excellent coach this year! He is very knowledgable(sp) and an excellent person! i myself think that Central will do pretty good this year, but that's just me.

I think McMinn Central and Walker Valley will be at the top in the district again this year but you also have to include Meigs County in there. I mean they did reach the state tournament last year and are always pretty tough.

[Guesswho?]

I haven't seen Mcminn Central play this year, but we scrimaged Walker Valley last night and they got one hit. Walker will more then likely have the best team in their district this year, even without me seeing Central play this far. Valley has more depth in their line up then Central, plus with a new coach in their I dont see them turning around that program anytime soon.

central has a pretty good group of seniros it will be intresting they'll do well maybe to sub state

[Guest albert]

What was the score of the second scrimmage between McMinn County and Walker. I heard Walker won 7-2 or 10-2. is either one right?

Losing Shamblin DEFINATELY wont effect us. Almost none of us liked him and he didnt care about us anymore. We did what we did on talent and almost 100% by ourselves. Now Coach Hart, he is an excellent coach. He knows a lot about baseball and dont care about hurtin nobody's feelings when it comes to playin time. And with the addition of Coach Oaks helpin out our bats...we should be just fine. So long Camel Toe Joe, hope ya have fun with your dad down at WV.

If I was Shamblin I would have left too. Ever noticed how beautiful 411 is until you hit Englewood? Joe Shamblin carried that team into a competetive program. Now, you might have Billy Bob Hart from the class of 1978 coaching, and I'm sure the community is grateful that they have one of their good uns calling the shots, but you lost one heck of a coach in Shamblin, and the decline of the great Mac Mienn Churdgers from the top of the region to the bottom of the district (where they were before Shamblin arrived) is coming soon. Good luck possum hunting with Deputy Hedge and Sherrif Brady in the offseason. Tell the Grand Dragon to take it easy in the crack pipe.

We didn't really keep up with the score. We were out there FOREVER and the players stopped caring. No clue what the score of the game was... Mcminn pitched their JV team.
