9-AAA district tourney

[bonero23]

Hey guys just wanted to see what everybody thought of the upcoming district tourney!! Who will b on top?? who will stay on bottom?? and what team will surprise people?? Let me know what u think!

Beech or Wilson Central have to be the favorites, but anyone can win in this league on any given day except Smyrna. Hendersonville, White House, and LaVergne could upset somebody. Mt. Juliet and Gallatin are the outsiders here. After losing to Hendersonville early last week, Beech had good wins over Gallatin, Father Ryan, and did not give up a run on Saturday winning the Lexington Catholic Tournament in Kentucky. Wilson Central has been solid all year as well so it is going to be a good tourney. Just about every team still has at least 2-3 district games to play this week so the seeding will not really be known until Thursday night.

Look for Beech to step up their game a notch. They wont go down easily. I do think though that Wilson Central will get upset somewhere down the road of the district tourny. Maybe White House....

Assuming that Beech and Wilson Central finish 1 and 2, that would leave Hendersonville and White House as possible 3 and/or 4 where home field could make a difference for those schools

Redbaron, I don't believe Wilson Central will be upset. They are playing good ball right now. IF any team can do it, I believe Hendersonville can. Hendersonville is the most fickle team I have seen this year. I watched them play great teams and win, yet lose to weaker teams. Andy has to be pulling his hair out on this. As to unioncounty comments, Beech did step it up a notch. The Hendersonville lost may have put a fire under them. They took care of business at Lexington tourn.

Thats been the story of Hendersonvilles season all year. Playing great ball against top notch teams, but barely squeeking by the not so dominant. I hope they can get focused and play the way they know how. They play Lavergne today and Wilson Central tomorrow. Back-to-back district wins would give them a huge push for the tourny.

Guys, this is just the way it is when different lineups are used against different

teams and also, it's not just a matter of "focus" and "fickleness", but the girls are

going thru a lot this year and have done pretty good in the face of injuries,

position changes, lineup changes, etc., etc., and a lot more things that won't

be mentioned, so in the light of all that, this year has not been much different

from any other year at HHS, they can play with the best and the worst! (lol)

FPFanatic, I do not see the player rotations, injuries, etc. that you mentioned. I just watch the game as a spectator and can't understand the ups and downs they have been going thru. Your correct that this makes a big difference, but why do they play so well against the good teams, yet lose to weaker teams. The games they won; they did not beat themselves. The games I've seen where they lost, they made simple errors and just didn't play smart. I think this is lack of mental focus.

watching as a spectator, that is what you would see and think, from that viewpoint's

perspective; but your misperceived lack of focus reason comes from what I said.

that is what causes this lack of focus; but you can't see that from your spectators

point of view, that is a very narrow perspective, you might need to stick to just

analyzing your own team instead (lol).

[iconu2]

FPFanatic, Don't be SO hard on me. I do agree with part of your statement, but some of the reasons you mentioned does not explain errors where the ball is hit straight to you, or overthrows, poor batting against weaker pitching, etc. Rotations, line up changes, injuries, etc. doesn't cause this. MOST of the time this is caused by lack of player focus. You are correct that I don't know all the facts, and any internal issues. By the way, I would almost bet that I have watched Hendersonville a lot longer than you have. I had many Hendersonville players play for me over the years, so the comment to analize my own team does not apply. I look at them all; and just try to give a non bias opinion because I have no emotional attachment to any of them. lol.

Hendersonville played very well against Wilson Central this afternoon, winning 1-0. Casey Teal pitched a great game. This assures Hendersonville atleast 3rd in the district. Jessie Bain scored the only run of the game on a hit by Dawn Hellaweg, which was over-run by the centerfielder, allowing Bain to score. Great game played by both teams.

Redbarron, Thanks for the update. Do you have any other scores?? Congrad to Hendersonville on a fine win. I told you Hendersonville could beat WC. What did you think of the verval exchange between FpFanatic and myself?? I'm I off base on this one. I would appreciate your comments on this, since you really follow Hendersonville more.
