Team Previews Goodpasture 9aa 29-12 1/14 The 2010 Cougars return seven starters and nine seniors. Jake McWhirter, who has signed with Tennessee Tech, and Turner Bush return as the top pitchers. These two won over half the games last year. Other pitchers who have some experience on the mound are Lance Jarreld, Devin Wrye, Tyler Bivens, and Jackson Chambers. Returning infielders are 3B Connor Hawkins, 2B Seth McFerrin, and 1B Jake McWhirter. Lance Jarreld, Chase Snyder, and Hunter Miller return in the outfield. Weston Wolfe returns behind the plate if he can recover from a football injury on his throwing shoulder. The strength of this team will be senior leadership and experience. Areas of concern for this team will be the shortstop position, injuries, and pitching depth. The key to success is to play as a team rather than a bunch of individuals. CPA 10aa 17-6 2/1
The 2010 CPA lions are seeking to
establish themselves as a legitimate AA baseball program this year. Year
after year, the Lions have been a middle of the district team. In the
school's history, they have never won a district, region, or sectional
championship. This years' team has high expectations after only losing two
starters off of last years' team. The strength of this team in 2010 will
be experience and a deep pitching staff. Returning to the starting line-up
this year will be Seniors: Will Drummond (OF, BA .365), Michael Gibson
(3B, BA .416), Phil Hardman(OF, BA .366), and Lincoln Lakoff (2B, BA .337)
Juniors: Michael Jean (1B, BA .333) and Clayton Nichols (SS, BA .475). The
pitching staff only graduated 18 innings from a team that played 33 games
last year. Returning starters include Seniors: Michael Gibson (50 K's in
29 IP) and Will Drummond (ERA 3.75). Junior, Michael Jean (W/L 6 -
2).Sophomore, Davis King (ERA 5.89). The Lions will also look to two
other Sophomores to fill big roles on the mound this year, Hunter Thurley
and Zane Russell. Coach Larry Nesbitt said "In order for us to be
successful this year, we must change our mentality of just being average.
It is time for us to get over being in the middle of the district. We can
do this by simply competing in all phases of the game. We have the talent
to make a run, now it is up to us to compete." |
Team Previews Spring Hill 12aa 26-5 1/12 The 2010 Raiders have some big
shoes to fill after an outstanding 09 season that saw them capture the
District Championship for the first time in school history and set
numerous program records along the way including wins with 26. While the
Raiders did lose 6 seniors last season 4 everyday position players return
as well as 4 of the top 6 pitchers. In the infield 4yr starters Sr. TYLER
BIGLER *Columbia State Commit* (.432/2/26)and Sr. KYLE THERRIAULT
(.346/0/10) return at Short and 1st. Sr. JOHN KENLEY will work in some at
1st as well as DH. 3B will again be anchored by 3yr starter Jr. AUSTIN
SCHUBERT(.381/1/22)with Jr. JEFFREY SCARRITT (.366/0/10) taking over at
2nd. Behind the plate So. Taylor Ellis will be given the chance to start
everyday after having a very productive summer. In the outfield Sr. Kyle
Brochu *Columbia State Commit* (.448/2/23) will again be at the helm in
Center for the fourth straight year. The corner outfield positions are two
of the biggest question marks for the Raiders heading into next season.
Sr. TYLER KLEIN(.231/0/2) and Sr. WYATT SHERRY will battle for Left while
Sr. HOLDEN HOWARD (.286/0/3)and Sr. STEPHEN HARDISON battle for Right. Page 12aa 24-12 1/25 The 2010 Page Patriots are replacing 9 seniors, 6 of which went on to play collegiately. This year’s team looks to build off of the back to back region appear-ances that last year’s seniors helped build. Seniors Ben Olivares and Garrett Gross (Wallace State, AL) will anchor a staff which loses 95 innings from last year. Jr's Daniel Johnson and Joey Caporali will also throw a lot of innings. Speedy senior David Seeman (90 career stolen bases) will lead an outfield which looks to replace all 3 spots. The infield will be led by senior Sean McComisky (.500 Avg) at third, Sophomore Keirce Kimbel at shortstop, and Jr. Daniel Johnson at 1st. The biggest questions are at the outfield corner positions, second base and behind the plate. For us to be success-ful the seniors are going to have to step up and lead a very inexperienced team. |
