Powell Playday

Waiting for my reply, VCR!  Well, here it is.  DVDs are all the rage.  Do they even sell VCRs anymore (HA HA).

 

I agree completely with your assessment.  Heritage will be tough.  I see District 3&4 in the same boat.  Both have front runners, but also very capable teams to take the top spot.  Like last year, I predicted Farragut would wind up 3rd or 4th in District 4 and everybody was picking Karns and Powell in District 3.  None of that worked out.  Every game this year will be critical.

 

Since everyone on this thread is hanging on my everyword, I'll say this.  Farragut didn't outperform many teams last year.  We did win alot of games.  As VTEC will tell you, all by one run.  Maybe a one-run game is outperforming?  Semantics.

Good one ladyadmiral.....I do feel like an old clunky VCR......but I don't scratch like a DVD....well maybe I do

 

Yep It will be interesting this year in 3 and 4

A win is a win and one run games are always more fun to watch. As with most one run games it takes a solid team with good skills and just a little bit of luck. Defense did it for Farragut last year,a good pitcher and good defense just waiting for the other team to make a mistake. It will be tough in these two districts this year. I don't know how good everyone's defense is, so I have to go with the best pitching depth and that would be Karns, Powell, and Farragut. Hard to make it all the way with just one pitcher. Of course some of these young pitchers may suprise me and some other folks. Good luck to everyone.......

Pitching depth in HS helps in the weekend tournaments and in case of injury. The teams at State last year were almost exclusively one pitcher teams. Once the district tournament starts, the #1 pitcher will get the starts and will not have to play back to back games.

 

That's why I think WB has a good shot this year. Rachel will do well, VTEC. I just don't know about short and first for WB. Those girls are yahoos!! (just kidding Em and Britt).

 

Farragut has a bright young star in the bull pen this year (Rachel Ingleby, Freshman). She reminds me alot of Margaret when she was a Freshman. Good speed, good movement. Farragut also has Kim Wright, Sophomore and Cayla Smith, Junior. Any of these girls could pitch #1 for some other teams in the district. Weekend tournament time will be a much easier this year.

You are right ladyadmiral weekend tournaments would be a lot easier with more pitching depth.The good thing about high school is one game a day and the pitcher/catcher get in a rhythm with the rest of the girls. The injury thing is scary, with only freshman to step up at pitcher. Margaret had her trial by fire last year and did a great job. I guess Rachel will have hers this year. I just hate that she is the only junior left on the team. Should be a fun season.......

How did the Kingston girls look?

[VTEC]

Seem to be a pretty solid team. They had a few over throws in the infield, hit the ball ok. Pitching seem solid if defense will do their part. The game with WB ended in a 4-4 tie, WB made 6 errors, so games like this it's hard to say.....

[jacketsfan13]

Do many of these teams still have bball players out? I know of at least 2 girls for Kingston that were still in bball on Sat?

[VTEC]

WB has one and they sure could have used her........

Jennifer Humphries is their pitcher, by the way. She said they had like 4 or 5 girls out for basketball.
