Flying Dutchman:
I guess our district just doesn't generate much excitement until playoff time.
Riverbend is going to be tough. I agree. With 3 Division I bound players, they will be competitive.
Brooke Point lost their number 1 and 2 pitchers to graduation. That will be tough to overcome. However, they continue to have talent and chemistry, which sometimes makes all the difference when it really matters. This is evidenced by a strong senior class which has played together at the varsity level since they were freshman. Chris Denno switches from closer last year to #1 starter.
Mountain View will be in the mix. Bruno and Cleary will generate alot of offense and excitement.
North Stafford will have the edge on pitching. Both in talent and game experience. Skidmore is a heck of player.
Don't know enough about the rest of the district teams to comment.
Kennedy is very talented. But traditionally, Player of the Year goes to a senior. With that said, I can see these guys having big years and in the mix for POY:
J.J. McDaniel - Brooke Point, 3B/P. Big, strong power hitter. I think he hit 8 HR's last season. Much improved defense and will be a surprise on the mound.
Mike Bruno - Mountain View, UT. Outstanding contact hitter. Will generate big numbers on offense. Exciting player.
Tyler Skidmore - North Stafford, UT. Again, strong offensive presence. I believe he is signed to a Div I program.
I'm sure there are more out there. These are just the one's who immediately come to mind.
