So... this could be the last year of conferences from what i guess i have read. But for now I wanted to start the conversations about conference 19 since tryouts (feb 22) is not to far away.
For now the new conference consist of:
Eastern View, Louisa, Courtland, Chancellor, King George, Caroline
Here are returning all conference players from the teams
Louisa - John Reynolds-jr- P 6-1 56inn, 1.38 era 18bb, 25k, 3cg (1st team) and Jake Talley- Sr-SS- .386 avg 2-hr, 8-2b, 10bb, 9-sb (1st team)
Chancellor- OF- Nick Winston-Sr .386 avg, 2-3b, 9-2b, 7bb, 14-sb 12 rbi- (1st team), Mason Riser- 3b- Sr .409 avg, 2-3b, 5-3b, 12bb, 3 sb, 17rbi (1st team) Morgan-SS/DH- Jr .412avg, 11rbi, 2-3b, 3-2b, 10bb, 8-sb (1st team) Cabrera- Sr- C, .(2nd team)
King George- Levere -Jr- P (2nd team) Halter - Sr- OF (2nd team),
Courtland- N. Ciafa-Sr- SS (2nd team), D. Lann- Sr- C (2nd team)
Eastern View- Zach Plath-Sr-C .324 avg, 4-2b (1st team), L.Easter -Sr- OF (2nd team), also return All-American OF -David Laird from injury he is a Sr.
Caroline- ???
Should make for an interesting year- Last season I believe out of this group there were 2 teams that made it to regionals, Louisa and Eastern View. Alot of these programs return alot of good players, but these were the ones that i could find were all conference of some sort.
I also believe Courtland new/old coach and return most of its players, Eastern View is always in the mix a the top and have a solid returning core, Chancellor returns most of its top bats and arms, King George lost alot but return a decent core and Caroline returns some sticks from last years squad.
I am not sure at this moment who has college kids but any input would be great: I heard J. Talley-Louisa- Bridgewater, D. Laird- EV Radford, Z. Plath-EV WV Tech, L.Easter- EV Point Park (Pa), N. Winston- Chance-Averett I am sure there are others, is Riser going to play for his dad at Mary Wash?
What is everyones thoughts, I also heard all games are power points and regular season is nothing but collecting power points that determine seeds for the conf. tournament at the end of the year.
