Team Previews Meigs County 5aa 7-16 3/15 The 2010 Meigs County Tigers are
looking to improve on their record of 7-16(5-5) from a year ago. In order
for this to happen, the team will depend heavily on returning seniors and
juniors. Seniors Dillon McKinney (C/RHP/3B), Josh Niswonger (LHP/RF),
Timmy Peak (LF), and Jamie Eden (LF/3B/RHP) will all play a significant
role in the Tigers' success in 2010. Juniors Jake Rowland (SS/RHP),
Spencer Crabtree (LHP/CF) Ryan Goines (2B/RHP), Heath Malone (C/3B,RHP),
JD Maldanado (RF), Panama Belcher (1B), Andrew Fritts (1B), and Ryan Henry
(1B/DH) will also be depended on heavily throughout the season. The
Tigers' defense will be forced to move around a lot as McKinney, Rowland,
Goines, and Malone will all see significant time on the hill. Lefthander
Crabtree returns as the team's number one pitcher. When Crabtree is not
pitching, he will roam CF and hit in the middle of the order. He will be
flanked by Peak or Eden in LF and Niswonger or Maldanado in RF. The
infield will be anchored by Rowland at SS and Goines at 2B. Both are
4-year starters and should provide a solid double-play combo. At third,
Malone and McKinney will rotate between 3B and catching. First base will
be Belcher, Fritts, and Henry. McMinn Central 5aa 31-7 2/25 After coming off one of the greatest seasons in McMinn Central baseball history, the Chargers will have a lot of holes to fill. The Chargers bring back two Seniors, Corey King and Matt Green along with a handful of Juniors featuring Scott Moses, JD Cowart, Keegan McCall, and Judah Ward. Cowart and Moses will be the spark in the line-up with Green and King providing the power. When the Chargers are in the field a handful of line-ups can be used. Moses and King will anchor the rotation with Judah Ward, McCall, Green, Cowart along with new comers Troy Tobett, Max Miller and Bradley Ward filling out the pitching staff. For the Chargers to be successful in 2010 they must play every game as if it was their last. Good things can happen this year if the Chargers pitching can come through. As usual, the schedule the Chargers play will again be tough along with a balanced District 5 AA. Any team can win the district and the disctict in 2010 and the Chargers hope to be in the mix.
Polk County 5aa 18-12 1/12 In
2010 the Polk County Wildcats will bring back a lot of experience from the
2009 squad (18-12 record) that graduated only one senior. The only senior
on the 2010 club will be Justin Greer who will play third and pitch in
relief. The junior pitching staff will be the key to the success of the
2010 club. Junior pitchers include Jared Allen (RH), Tyler Lee (RH), Jim
Maples (LH), Justin Webb (LH), and Michael Hargrove (LH). Freshman
pitchers include Hunter Carter (RH), Duncan Coffey (RH), and Justin Brown
(LH). Defensively, the 2010 club will led by sophomore catcher Collin
Wimberly. At 3rd will be Justin Greer and Jared Allen. Playing short stop
will be Tyler Lee and 2nd base will be anchored by Alex Akins. Jim Maples
and Michael Hargrove will be at 1st base. All these infield positions will
be filled depending on who is on the mound on any particular day. The
outfield will be anchored by Justin Webb, Michael Hargrove, Jared Allen as
well as others. |
