AAA Northern Region Baseball

So who does everyone think will win the NR tourney final tonight?

Sorry; couldn't resist. Thanks, baseballer...it was getting a bit cluttered on the other thread...

I truly do not think it will matter who Cox plays. I believe Menchville is the best they will see. Granted they didn’t start their ace but Jharel Cotton’s is one hell of a pitcher. If Cox plays the way they did in the Regional championship game it’s their state championship to lose. They have 2 aces on the hill and Chase to close who could be an ace on most other staffs. The bats are picking up and Kyle Profilet has at some key AB’s and has delivered for Cox. Plus we have the beach player the year “Chris Taylor” his numbers speak volumes for what type of athlete he is. I would put Cox up against any team in the state.

Good job Chase on the hill last night great pitching vs a great team and some great AB’s to complement your first win of the year.

This is the Northern Region thread Localbaseball...

I appologize for Localbaseball's over the top statements...must be a new "fan". Cox lost 5 games this year and is well aware how tough the teams are throughout the state. Anyone can be beaten in this crazy game...especially when you get down to the final 8 teams. Well deserved congratulations are in order for ALL teams still playing at this time in the season. Its no fluke that they are still here and any one of them can bring home the crown

Maybe I was over the top by beings sssooooooo bold. Cox does have a tough road ahead, I just think that they have seen the best they will face “Mench”. Maybe I am wrong? I guess time will tell.

Local ball,
Dude get a life. You are consumed by this board. Writing on a topic that has nothing to do with your region at 4am. Nobody up here gives a **** about Menchville. We don't know who Chase is and frankly don't care. Open up your own thread and rant all you want.

titanstonight, Hey listen here sounds like to me that you are suffering from complete and utter frustration of some form or another. I have a life.... My job requires me to work nights. Do you have a job? Hey, I think I have rattled the NOVA fans............................................ Chaos, panic, & disorder -- my work here is done. See you in the Finals......................

Hey stupid, getting drunk on a Friday night and posting idiotic rants on a HS message board at 4 AM doesn't qualify as a "job". WIth that said, I think the NOVA teams are going to have a VERY difficult time matching up against Cox and Menchville. If Cox plays like they have been, the championship is theirs to lose.

Have any of you from the Central or East regions seen any of the NR teams play this year? Do you know anything about them? If not, then perhaps saying that the NR teams will have a hard time matching up is getting a little ahead of the game...

Oh, and BTW, Cox and Menchville open the states against the NW region, not the Northern region. So if they make it through the quarters (both Battlefield and Stafford from the NW region are playing great ball right now), they won't see the NR's best until the state semis anyway. And THEN we can talk...

West Springfield 11, Lake Braddock 1

Complete game for Kent who had all 4 pitches working. Springfield posted a 4-spot in the 1st and never looked back.

Congrats to both teams and good luck on bringing the title back to NoVA...

Battlefield starts 3 freshman in the infield(due to injuries)and it finally caught up to them last game. Stafford has a nice group. WS will be in a tough matchup against a D1 pitcher going to UNC. Even though they are capable, I don't think they're swinging it well enough to score enough runs. Wahl needs to throw as hard as he did earlier in the year if they're going to win. LB only has a chance if Derner's on otherwise they'll get killed again. Menchville is loaded(and were ranked #1 in the nation earlier in the year). Hanover is ranked #1 in Virginia just ahead on Cox, I think that will be the final. Good Luck Patriot!!

Are there any private schools in the eastern and central regions? Just curious...

Sure... in the east there is Greenbrier Christian (DII State Champs), Hampton Christian (DIII State Champs), Cape Henry, Norfolk Academy, Nansemond Suffolk, Alliance Christian, and many more. In the central some of the good programs are Steward School, St Christopher's, Trinity...I'm sure there are others. Privates don't compete in the VHSL though

I really do not get it...this is a Northern Region forum, let's talk about the Northern Region. Im not bashing Cox or any other school, just trying to stick to the topic
