4A North Conference 22 talk

LeMaster graduated from Chancellor.

Chancellor has a lot of good young players that might stand out next season....Mason Riser (Sophomore) MIF/P, Jordan Fowler (Sophomore) OF/P and the younger brother of Jason Morgan...Mathew Morgan (Sophomore) MIF/P.

Found out Logan Aylor of Liberty-Bealton committed to CNU, good program congrats Logan and his family. 

With the new conference alignments, this will make for some interesting match-ups along the way. Here are a few thoughts:   Fauquier - keep an eye on junior Ryan Simpson...he and Brock Smith played together in the fall with the RBA South Predators...good stick and athletic.  EV - their x factor is the manager!  No one gets more out of his team than Coach Nobbs...they will be a formidable opponent. Chanc - I know the Morgan kid can be lights out....do they have enough elsewhere to be a contender?  Liberty - They lost allot from last year, but they still have talent.  The question is who will be their #2 after (CNU commit) Logan Aylor??  They have arms, but who will take that spot.  Featheroff looks to be a solid defensive catcher and Ryan Fogle, Austin Stewart and Coy Brown need to step up and be productive. I do not know much about Courtland???  In conclusion, this looks like a wide open conference...I think anyone could win it!  most likely the team that does not beat themselves and is the most healthy at the end of the season will take the title...

Just looking at 4A South, because is all I am failiar with...

Cannot figure out how Powhatan is not in 20... The Midlothian rivalry could be born

When you look at Smithfield in the other South conference ...seems Dinwiddie can go over there easier... and switch Powhatan into 20?

Could be some good baseball in 20 with Hanover, Tucker, Glen Allen, Dinwiddie, Midlo and Monacan in time. Some of these programs are a bit down - but have potential to be stronger than this past season.

Anymore information or predictions with baseball season just right around the corner?

I found out yesterday that the region 4A North will break down like this:

4A North consist of Conference 21, 22, 23 and 24 a total of 28 teams. There are 23 teams in Region 4A south.

But here is how 4A north will stack for regionals. 

Conference 24 champ vs conference 23 runner up

Conference 22 champ vs conf. 21 runner up

Conf. 21 champ vs conf. 22 runner up

Conf. 23 champ vs Conf 24 runner up. 

Teams that went to regionals or states last year in these conferences,

Conference 21

Sherando beat tunstall for state championship

Woodgrove lost in states, 

Millbrook lost in regionals

Conference 23 

Amherst lost in states

Conference 24 

Bassett lost in states

Conference 22 

Eastern View lost in regionals

Liberty lost in regionals

Fauquier lost in regionals

Zeus, how do you win a Conference?

Conference tournament we assume?  Do they replace districts or regionals?

The conference tournaments basically replace the district tournament though I don't think the conference has to have a tournament.  They can award the playoff berths based on how the teams finish in the conference, but I imagine there will be conference tournaments.  And if it's anything like football was in the fall, it's not just wins and losses, but "points" as well.  Somehow (and I'm not quite sure how it works) the team earns points based on the strength of their opponents throughout the season.  If anyone has a better understanding of how it can work, feel free to correct me.

I do remember an article that stated something to the effect, there can be "district" tournaments, but they essentially won't mean anything.

In conference 22, it will go as this: Every team makes the conference tournament at the end of the year, your seeding will be based on your conference record, seeding will go as follows 1 and 2 get a bye, then 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5. If you make it to the conference championship game then you will move on to regional's, with winner of the tourney getting the #1 seed and runner up being the #2 seed.  District games, district tournaments mean nothing at all they are basically now the "out of district" games, a place to get guys some work.  There are now point system, there was talks but i guess this is the way they decided to go.

There will also be no more all-district teams but only all conference and there is no more 2nd team all-state, there is only first team and honorable mention.  

The weather has put a damper on everything though, still trying to get excited, then now i am hearing something of rain or snow on monday. I guess we will wait and see. Are there any scrimmages happening this week?

Zeus,

Thanks for clearing that up.  Wasn't sure.  From what I do remember each conference is free to determine the method of which two teams advance from the conference.

Not sure about the other schools, but KG has scrimmages against Massaponax  (Home) and Culpeper (away) on the 7th and 13th.  KG's opening game is at home vs Eastern View on the 18th.

And yeah, there's storm off the coast of CA that's suppose to be here by Sunday night/Monday morning - anything from rain to wintry mix to snow.  No firm forecast yet.

is the KG vs Culpeper scrimmage still on today?

did  fauquier get it in with highland are they a go for tomorrow at skyline? 

Right now EV vs Heritage scrimmage still a go for friday. 

anybody else giving today a go. 

Liberty HS at Massaponax HS on 3/15 at 5:30 pm

I know it's a bit late, but as far as I can tell the KG @ Culpeper scrimmage was still a go.  It didn't show as being cancelled on the school schedule.  Did you go?

I imagine it was a cold game.  The wind has been brutal today.

I heard KG vs Culpeper is tonight at cpep,not sure why they cancelled other than wind

EV vs heritage is still on as of right now. 

Liberty/Massaponax scrimmage was postponed today 3/14

Ev vs heritage got cancelled.

Culpeper and KG played today, i heard an approx score of Cpep 9 KG 4. 

EV played West Springfield (6A) today good day for baseball as sun was shining and field was good for once, EV won 9-6 in 10 had lead 7-6 after 7.  

Anyone else in conference play today? 65 today and tomorrow night they are calling for snow.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!

Yeah, that word is a four letter word as far as I'm concerned.......

Last I checked the area is under a Winter Storm Watch with 4"-5" in the forecast.

Ugh!

Spring, where are you?  

Sigh...........

I highly doubt there will be any games Tuesday.  There's 2" of snow on the ground as I type this with 3"-6" in the forecast for the Fredericksburg area.  The heavy snow is yet to hit later tonight after midnight.  Suppose to snow until mid afternoon Monday.

Was there any games played today? I assume today was cancelled by most if not all and friday's games are in suspect right now. 

Tuesday's EV @ KG was postponed to 3/26.  No "roundup" reports in the Free-Lance Star so I'm assuming no games were played.  Heck - no baseball previews yet either.

KG travels to Liberty Friday.  I give it a 50/50 chance they actually play.  Still quite a bit of snow on the ground.  Even if it all melts by Friday (rain today and warmer temps forecast for Thursday & Friday) the fields will probably be marginal at best.

And from what I'm hearing more inclement weather is in the forecast for Tuesday next week.  Ugh!

ADDENDUM: - Baseball previews will be published Friday in the Free-Lance Star.

There is talk that the LHS - KG game may be played on Saturday, if either school can get their field game ready.

The KG vs LHS varsity game has been rescheduled for Saturday 1 pm at KGHS.

The JV game has been postponed - no make up date yet.

Baseball previews are now posted at Fredericksburg.com

EV played Courtland..Both teams had some mistakes you could tell it was early in the year, but EV came out on top 5-3. 

Anyone else play tonight.

Liberty 12   King George 8

Logan Aylor gets the win and has 3 doubles at the plate.  Austin Booth goes 4 for 5 and Catcher Tyler Fetheroff  goes yard with a shot over the center field fence.  Brock Smith with the save.  Very entertaining game.  both teams showed some rust in the field but overall a very good game.  King George has talent for sure!

Does anyone play today,

EV vs Chancellor has moved their game to today because of suspected weather.  

KG hosts Fauquier Tuesday and then travels to Courtland Friday.  The rescheduled game vs EV originally scheduled for 3/18 then postponed to 3/26, has been rescheduled to 4/2/14.

Given the weather forecast for Tuesday I see more rescheduling.

Liberty is @ Courtland tonight at 730

Chancellor defeats Eastern View, believe the score was 7-2

Liberty defeats Courtland, believe the score was 15-10, Game started @ 530, not 730

phitin phils you are correct in both Chancellor beat EV 7-2, and liberty beat KG 15-10.

So as of right now that i know of:

Liberty 2-0

Chancellor 1-0

EV 1-1

KG 0-1

Courtland 0-2

Fauquier 0-0   Is this right...?

Zeus, I think you meant to say Liberty beat Courtland 15-10

Yup my bad. here is the article..

http://www.fauquier.com/news/a...chool_sports_roundup

KG vs Fauquier today postponed.  No makeup date listed.

LOL, as if there was ever a thought, EV at William monroe cancelled. 

Any games on today? According to schedules posted earlier in thread, only team scheduled today is Chancellor (visiting Washington & Lee) any other rescheduled games today?

King George hosts Courtland tonight.  Game time 6:30 pm.

KG 3 Courtland 0.  Lane had 10 K's.

Chancellor 12 W&L 6
