What is the league going to look like this year?? I'm assuming South will be the favorite. Outside of that who else looks to make a run this year?
I look for the league to be very "down" overall. Not many "studs."
South should be given the title now and let WB, Louisville and Marlington play for second,third and fourth. The others will beat up each other and be lucky to be .500. Not sure when Jackson got into the league though.
There are still some very good players in the NBC . Marlington is going to be a good team . WB has some kids that can play also . As far as studs south had a kid that was first team all state . If that's not a stud I'm lost to who you think is.
One player doesn't make the conference good. This conference has been going downhill for years. The pitching is nothing to write home about and the hitting hasn't been very stellar lately. There are certain kids in this league who get some "hype" because they play in a horrible league. The ones that are supposed to be these "stud" pitchers wouldn't have lasted 2 or 3 innings in years past.
Cmon guys you can't honestly think this league is very good. There is not ONE good pitcher in this league IMO. Its just an opinion but the talent is very thin from top to bottom. I go back about 5 years when there was at least one dominant pitcher on every team and there were at least 3 good hitters on every team if not more. The south team back then would beat this south team in 5 innings. And so would some of the other teams. Once again just my opinion.
Then go find a thread for an awesome conference (in your opinion) and wax poetically on that one. Stay off of here and quit trying to stir the .

Your not right I'm the head that's all I'm gonna say .
Yep you are right. I am not right in the head for having an opinion. That's mature attacking someone for having the opinion that the league isn't as talented as it has been.

Carrolltons year is coming up, not sure if its this year or not. I don't know if anyone on this thread played high school ball but in Carrollton we went through swings ( Competitive for 3-4 yrs and finding our groove the next 5-6 yrs). I understand where everyone is coming from about downtown commenting about how bad the conference is. They should know just like any sport especially in baseball anyone can win on any given day. It's high school baseball I mean I've seen crazier things. I seem to not be able to stray away from what downtown said tho, I remember hitting off of Gill of South and Smith of Louisville. In my opinion that pitching hasn't been seen around here since then I don't believe. Carrollton had Graham a few years after them and he was up there in speed but those 2 were on a different level. I attended some Carrollton games last year and was shocked, after you play at college and then return home to watch High School ball the game seems so slow. Either way the kids are competing on the diamond so I couldn't be happier.
Sorry thread is all over the place, had thoughts coming and going lol

Go to a canton South game gill is one of the coaches there number 1 gets it up there pretty good . On that team your talking about Devon got drafted 17th round and gill went D1 kent the catcher went to a D 3 school Good team but they had average pitching after Justin. They went to the Regionals 1 time . I Agree there was some good teams then Alliance might have been the best of them all with Hendershot and Bates. But trust me this team can play with any of them teams no one knows who would have won but this one is real good and if they make it this year it will be there third trip to the regionals in 3 years and they made it to the distric finals the year before.
Alliance graduated 8 seniors I believe. They did get three guys that were at Marlington last year, one varsity starter, that for various reasons are now attending Alliance that should help them. Don't know much about the other three teams. Any one have info on Salem, Carrolton or Minerva?
Just talked to 2 different people that said marlington maybe a lot better than expected . There saying it will be them and south. Yes very reliable person neither have a kid on either team. Maybe things will be better than people think cause West Branch is gonna be solid to.
