Congrats to West Branch on a great win. The dukes say thank you, with Marlingtons win and your win it gave the Dukes the league title. Unfortunately many dont know this because the Alliance Ragview didn't feel the need to cover the game. No article !!! What a shame what a terrible newspaper. Mr. Cunningham 5 for 5 great day for your Warriors congrats.
Was Louisville or Norton the top seed? Its a tough district.

Ok the tournament seeding is out, who's your team got and how do you think they will do?
As far as Marlington goes they open at home against Field. Now these 2 teams scrimmaged which isn't a great way to judge but Marlington had no problem. Now I'm not sure what was seen pitching wise. If Marlington plays up to there abilities they could be the dark horse to reach the district finals. Hoping Canton South does well. Unfortunately Louisville is I think the team to beat.

Carr was just too much for our line up, he game up 2 hits in the 1st inning and none after that. I was encouraged with our 2 sophomore pitchers, Barnes and Mayle. they both did a good job against a pretty solid lineup.
Yes your sophomores did a good job last night. Interested to see tonight, it's our senior night. Coach Ferrel in the past plays the seniors. One of them starts or DH's anyway. The other gets time. The third one is a great kid with only a few innings and one AB on the season. Oh and yes hes hitting 1000 lol. But hes that rare kid that just wants to be involved. He is the first person out of the dugout to chase fouls, works hard on the field. No negative attitude. Just a great kid. Gonna be rooting for him tonight. Fortunately we only have 3 seniors.
I hope he plays. I believe we are starting another sophomore today. I will stay in town and watch the JV game. Its really a meaningless game in a way so I bet Ferrell plays all of the senior but you will still have enough fire power to win the game. I like our coaches because the team is getting better every game.
Yea last night they played fundamental baseball, they're going to be fine. I think next year Marlington will be even better considering they only play one senior. 4 of our top 5 pitchers come back. Like I mentioned earlier the one senior DH's plays some outfield and pitches in relief.
Question the 2 boys with the same last name and same first name but spelled differently, are they brothers?
It's a shame hes been over used. I predicted this a month ago when he was throwing 90+ pitches twice a week in very cold conditions. As far as overall play its baseball and sometimes the team you know just doesn't show up.
Damn the kids only a sophomore and being over used. Shame on the coach. My opinion your ace shouldn't be throwing non league games. Anyway I hope he bounces back. He needs shut down for a week or so. I hate to say it but it's not like there in the league chase I believe. The weather doesn't look promising this week anyways. Marlington has Salem this week and a split locks up the title. Hope they get them in.
Cunningham hasn't been over used. Only threw over 90 once and averaging about 55 pitches per outing.
Was surprised to see alliance picked up a game tonight vs. Waterloo??? Why?? Dont think Waterloo helps get the Aviators ready for the tournament . It definitely will help there stats I guess.
Louisville picked up woodridge tonight.
Marlington plays @ Hoover and Monday @ South Range. Not crazy about that pickup, 2 days before the tournament so they won't pitch any one. Nothing good can come out of this I'm guessing. But just my opinion.
Many coaches like to keep their team "on the field". Thought you did some coaching. Many different strategies. Nice win Marlington.
Ok now that the league has wrapped up its first year...who were the big time players? Who is player of the year? I got sophomore Gavin Bruni as POY, I wanna say marlington will get 2/3 1st team selections led by Carr, Greiner, and Pucci
Salem beat Struthers in the sectional; then lost to Niles.
Well, EBC sports will now fall off the first page of every sport thread on Yappi. It speaks volumes as to the state of this new league. I guess, maybe, next year will be better for coverage and interest. Honestly, I miss the old NBC because we could count on Louisville posters getting everybody riled up and we would have discussions. Now, the only EBC threads are Minerva Football. Do I even have to mention how poor the league is when the only people who care are 0-40 fans. Thanks ADs and Administrators all over the EBC for a memorable year.
