battlefield predictions

I know Culpeper has now entered the battlefield, and rumor has it Caroline got a transfer from Patrick Henry.

caroline faired alot better in fall ball than most people thought they would. Dont know much about culpeper other than they lost good players to eastern view

Courtland will take the Battlefield with ease with top players like McBroom, Lenox, Keranen, Haught, Rausch, and others.

Right Arm - what transfer from Patrick Henry?

I think Courtland and Eastern View will be tough this year. I believe Spotsylvania will take the crown though. Returning 7 of their 9 starters from last years regular season championship team. A solid lineup including 6 seniors and rotation will lead them to a repeat title. And I'm pretty sure they're returning the Battlefield District's POY in Matt Houston.

I think alot to do with the district will fall on who gets the Head Coaching job at Spotsylvania. Anyone heard who will be taking over for Kocher who is at UMW?

These are all fine players, no question about it.... but "with ease" ....

I guess time will tell, but Spotsylvania as I recall returns 7 of 9 starters from last year's district championship team including Matt Houston who earned and deserved all kinds of indivdual awards...

Yes, Spotsylvania lost a really good coach in Kocher and I have no idea who will replace him... But this school has proven to be a consistent winner in baseball with and without Coach Kocher, capturing the district title in 8 of the last 12 season's....

Spotsylvania's consistently a very good program and you might be right, Courtland may win it in 2010, but I doubt Spotsylvania will lay down and I doubt it will be with ease....

How about Eastern View, they had a good introductory season last year - how do they stand in 2010?

I am not sure of the kids name, just a rumor i heard through the grapevine of the transfer to caroline. Courtland will be the toughest in the district. Spotsy and EV will be good also, you never know what chancellor will bring and culpeper will prob. be young but decent. I think Courtland should return 8 out of 9 starters and was prob the second best team, Spotsy should return 7 who won the regular season and EV who won the district tournament title should return 5 starters. what about chancellor who beat spotsy and then got beat by EV in the tourney championship what do they have returning.

So you're saying Caroline lost their players and recruited from PH?

beats me, heard through the grapevine they got a kid who was from PH. not sure how good the source is, but that is what i heard.

anyone got anything else on the district, who is the best hitter, is it mcbroom of courtland, scott of eastern view, houston of spotsy, anyone else?

Also heard spotsy hired there third base coach from last years varsity squad, durocher maybe is his name.

does anyone know if battlefield gets 3 teams this year for regionals. I know last year chancellor, courtland and eastern view went.

sorry guys i am bored all the snow, LOL... does anyone know who has signed in the battlfield?

Here is what i know:
Matt Houston-spotsy-william and mary
Brandon Scott-EV- Mt. St. Mary
Matt Ward-EV- Charleston

I heard mcbroom has some d1 offers but hasn't made a decision.

Spotsylvania's new head man is Coach Ryan Davenport. He was an excellent choice to replace Mary Washington bound Coach Brad Kocher.

Coach Davenport comes to us from Walhalla, SC. His previous experience includes playing college ball at USC Spartansburg and being a high school assistant and head coach. He also has been active in the summer, working to help develop players at Clemson's summer camps for years.

With the addition of Coach Davenport, Spotsylvania's baseball program will continue to flourish.

Zues,
You should remember that Spotsy won the District last year and went to regionals

Ya'll knocked Courtland out in the district tourney, with Chancellor gaining the final spot.

Lets shoot for someone from the Battlefield to advance past regionals and make it to Radford!

yes spotsy went to regionals won the regular season, but IMO courtland was the best team besides eastern view. This year courtland is still strong, i think coach davenport will do fine if he is that active at spotsy. i hope someone from the battlefield makes it to radford this year. But do you know if there are 2 teams going or 3. I think the race for 2,3,4 should be interesting in the battlefield this season.

Congrats to Ryan for all your hard work!

Great news about Ryan McBroom. Another example of how hard work, character and talent come together to help achieve your goals.

Congrats.

Way to go Ryan!
I couldn't be happier for one of the nicest young men you will ever meet. Go Mountaineers!!

Any truth to the rumor that all of the Caroline seniors quit and the whole team is 9th graders?

Not sure about the Caroline team?? interesting though.

Todays game i figured everyone is postponed. does anyone know.

Anyone know who is playing today?
EV is at KG all i know.

Did you guys see Chancellor beat freedom 40-2 HOLY COW!!!!! It takes a lot to put up 40 runs, i have never seen a score that high.

BOTH COACHES should be fired!!
What an embarrassment to the game.

I wish we were playing Chancellor this week.

Didn't Eastern View rack up a pretty big score against a much weaker team tonight? I'm never happy to see such lopsided scores in games. I would like to think coaches would start every one of their subs when they know they're facing teams that don't stand a chance.

Eastern View put up 21 on James Monroe and put all 8 subs in the game in the second inning up 12-0 and was holding runners base to base. Which goes to what i said in it takes a lot to score 40!!!!

how about culpeper and spotsy,
spotsy won the game 6-1 houston pitched for spotsy and freshman Charlie Peavly pitched for culpeper and apparently score was 1-1 going late in game, couple of errors cost culpeper.

Are we seeing a wide open district??

Congrats to former Eastern View player Brandon Mack who is enjoying his freshman year at Chowan, he was named 1st team all conference and freshman player of the year for the conference.
