There is no 23u anymore, it's 18 and over no age limit. We played in aunt Rosie's over 18 5 years ago in the championship game and faced a 30 year old pitcher still throwing 70.
District semi's are D1 pitcher littered. Perry v Hudson, Austintown bracket, Chardon v Austintown and Hoover v Boardman, Mentor bracket, Walsh Jesuit v Madison and New Philly v Riverside. Any one of these teams could be the state champion.
Teams with the number 1 ingredient pitching. Perry, Jackson, Green, Hoover, Walsh Jesuit, Madison, New Philly, Riverside, Willoughby South, Hudson, Austintown, Chardon. Now who will add the timely hitting and defense. This is a wide open district.
I think a rethinking of how the polls are voted on is needed. Now that coach Goodpasture is no longer a voter all northeast voters are Cuyahoga County and rarely see stark or summit county teams. Maybe have 1 voter Cuyahoga 1 Summit and 1 Stark county would get a truer break down of all teams.
