Boyd-Buchanan wins 2-1 over Walker Valley

[sportsguy1]

The Chattanoogan says that Boyd beat Walker Valley 2-1. Anyone know any details???

Nevermind...there is now an article on the site. It sounds like an exciting game against two great teams. It says that Warren struck out 13!!! Good job Lady Bucs!

I was at the game at Walker Valley in where I over heard Boyd saying that WV was not half worth of their day. If this is true, how come they couldn't finish the Lady Mustangs off in 7 innings, and had to go an extra inning to get the job done? Seems to me WV is more than worth half their day.

Overheard.... from whom?

 

The score and the outcome stands on its own.

 

That is the beauty of Fastpitch. No one call or play can lose a game, because opportunities abound for a team to win...or lose. The opportunities that a 7 inning game gives each team is tremendous.

 

Sounds like it was a close game. How could anybody who saw it depute that BB did not dominate? How could anyone not say on that day that BB was at least the better team? Maybe next time WV will win.

 

Don't get caught up in the hype. The game is better than that, no matter who is playing it.

 

When your team is good, you don't have to say a word.

BB ended up winning on an error made by WV. Who's to say if that error hadn't occured WV wouldn't have won? That one error doesn't make BB the better team.

It certaintly does, and it did that day. Errors, or the lack of them, are part of the winning equation. Make less of them and you usually win, especially in HS ball where the talent is spread out over a greater number of teams. Errors are controllable, not some freak of nature. Athletic ability and practice reduces errors. They don't just come and go.

 

Last year, Soddy Daisy, the AAA state champ, won the state by pressuring defenses, not by overwhelming them. They had a couple of good hitters, definitely some good pitchiing, and outstanding defense. They overwhelmed nobody in their offense. Thye wre able to put hte ball in play and made fewer errors than anybody else in the state. If BB had made more errors than WV, they probably would have won.

[eagles1181]

Errors do play some role in ball, and if a team makes a lot of them of course their will be a different outcome in the end of the game. I just don't think BB needs to be talking and saying WV isn't worth half of their day, when if that were true it would have been done in 7. Thanks

This is a true statement made by BB...and it was a good game played by WV...it could have easily went either way...People should not underestimate WV like they do...

[sportsguy1]

No one at Boyd said that...stop getting on here and making things up.

[Runner15]

Coach didnt tell his team that in the huddle?!!

[sportsguy1]

No...like some coach is going to tell his team that. Stop lying!

Why is this discussion centered on whether or not something was said by someone? Bottom line, it was a good game, two great pitchers, 2 good defensive teams, and errors will occur when teams play in tight games like this.
