To revisit this thread and answer Dutchman's question, WHO ARE THE TEAMS TO BEAT AND WHY?
Each team has played each other at least once now.
#1 pick to win districts is Riverbend. Good coaching as confirmed by Stimmel getting 3 players signed with D1 schools. Strong bats, pitching and a great catcher make them a contender. They need to win all their games the rest of season like they are capable of.
#2 North Stafford. Coach L is another great coach. He has plenty of pitching, great SS and batter in Tyler Skidmore who is another D1 commit,also Chris Hall who is a solid catcher and batter. All their players contribute so too many to mention.
#3 Colonial Forge They are always well coached. Don't like to get into the Player of the Year topic but Keller, a D1 commit to VMI will be in the mix with his home runs and is one of the best catchers in the area.
#4 Stafford Coach Tommy Harrison gets the most out of his players. Patrick Marshall is one of the best lefty pitchers in the area, a great 1st baseman and contributes at the plate. Chaz Tanner solid at SS and at bat. I liked their catcher (name?), sharp at his position and is a power hitter. The team seems young but appears to be improving each game.
#5 Brooke Point As mentioned in earlier post, BP lost most of their pitching to graduation last year. Saw a freshman lefty pitcher for BP who could be formidable to opposing teams when used. Does anyone know his name? Haven't seen anything written up about him. BP off to a rough start but could still be contenders in the playoffs as they seem to finish strong.
#6 Albermarle/Massoponax Don't know much about either except that Mass did beat my number #1 pick, Riverbend. Go figure...
