Area baseball/softball
- Thread starter alco65
- Start date
I believe the area is wide open this year when it comes to baseball. SHS returns 7 starters and 4 starting pitchers, Frankfort has a strong group of returners, Alco has Bratton, Milburn, O'Neal and other quality players, Fort Hill is definitely the sleeper of the group with strong pitching and starters coming back, Mt Ridge with Smith, Shimko and Dinicola has a strong corp of returning playewrs, Northern has King, Yommer, Carr and Jones returning. My prediction: 1) Frankfort 2) SHS 3) Alco 4) Mt Ridge 5) NHS, 6)Mt Ridge, however I would not bet my house on this. Should be a great year for baseball!
Fort Hill with big wins over Allegany and Southern. Frankfort 3-0 with wins over Southern, Phillip Barbour and Allegany. Allegany with 2 early, pretty close losses to Fort Hill and Frankfort. What's happening at MR and Northern? Any additional thoughts now that there's a few games under everyone's belt?
My thought early is Fh and Frankfort may be the two best teams. From what I am hearing Alco struggling at the plate. When did the FH QB start playing baseball? I know he did in little league butvhavent heard his name at the high school level til this year.
this is the first year he's played in high school
I have to give it to the FH staph. They always out dumb everyone. It's pretty damn impressive. Just when you think they might actually know something about the sport they go and start the season with 2 of the best players in the school on the JV level. It was obvious to EVERYONE but dumb and dumber (I was at the Southern game and that is the nickname the FH parents call the coaching staph) that they both should be starting on varsity. It would be like Poling and Hamilton not playing varsity football as sophomores. Then to no one's surprise they reach in their bag of stupidity just as a reminder and play one of them in BOTH the JV and varsity games at the SAME time. They literally had one pinch run for in the JV game to go pitch in the varsity game.

2 of the best players in the school...Better then Poling, Martin,Kelly,Weber, Harden. dont think so!!! But think they should be on varsity for sure. Should they start everybody has their own opinion. Alco struggling at the plate Yes faced 2 of the better pitchers in the area not to metion how many errors does Alco have? Alot more then what the paper said
yes 2 of the best players in the school. I didn't say THE 2 best. If you think they should be on varsity then you agree with me. When you look at all aspects of the game (pitching, hitting, fielding) they are easily 2 of the best 9 in the school. They are probably 2/3 in pitching behind Poling but were on the JV team LOL.
when the current staph has a history of being just plain AWFUL with NOT ONE winning season with all the talent that has been in the school and they continue to do the opposite of the common sense thing to do that is why it was mentioned. It's obvious to everyone these guys are in over their heads and have been for many years. They didn't even win anything coaching in little league LOL
The talent over the next few years is state championship level and we have little league coaches coaching them
When Coach Appel retires we should hire the a pee wee teams C team staff lol
Southern is NOT pursuing the protest. My understanding was that they pointed out the mistake to the umpires and FH staff. Southern got only 4 hits that game and did not look good. Knowing the coaching staff they are not going to shrink to that level and attempt to get a win from a game that they were never really in.
What I heard, Fort Hill staff reported this on their own to their AD. The AD reported to the state and Southern was awarded a forfeit. Spoke with the SHS staff and they advised that this was the info afforded to them from the state level. Like I said, this is what I heard, let me know if you heard the same.
