Additional info on Hickory / FC game under the SED spring break thread.

What's going on with Cox? Lot of runs allowed. Hanover and IR will continue to push them.

Hickory beats Landstown 14-3.

Hanover wins over Maury 14-11. Maury misses a 48 yard field goal as time expires...

Heard IR over FC... 14-2 i believe. Not sure who went for IR, but Lawson threw around 5 for FC

Last year's state runner-up Hanover stayed a few hits ahead of Maury in a 14-11 slugfest. Not too many strike outs or errors in this one. Just alot of legit hits from both teams so an exciting game to watch. HR's from O'Donnell and Overcamp for Maury and a slew of doubles from Hanover.

Hickory just completely dismantled landstown today... Langejans threw about 130 pitches over 5 innings. Not many bright spots for the eagles today with the exception of Will Hinton going 2-2 with a triple and Cameron Day going 2-3 i believe. Should be an interesting game for them against Hanover tomorrow.

Also was very impressed with the hickory bats. Grauer hit some absolute shots today off the pitchers along with some pretty decent pitching of his own today.

Admittedly I haven't been to any of the games this week but someone please correct me if I'm wrong, is the Beach District showing anything to anybody? Except for Ocean Lakes, it doesn't look like it.

Grassy,
From what I saw all fall and now into the spring... The SE district has five teams that with maybe the exception being O.Lakes ? would dominate the very young Beach District this season. The SE District is very Junoir/Senoir dominant with many fine players ! I fully expect two of those five teams to do good things come playoff time...

Don't forget Nansmond River. SED is 6 strong. Deep Creek would probably do well in either the Eastern or Beach this year won't even get a sniff in SED.

Agree with you Driller. I knew you guys were young as well as some others. Kind of surprised though about FC (not as young as others). The season isn't even half over yet, so things could turn around.

It all goes in cycles (the beach graduated a lot of talent last year).....right now, no one is playing well in the Beach, except Ocean Lakes. FC wins with Bowman on the mound and PA with LeMasters.

The SE District is by far the superior conference in the Area.......I actually think Grassfield, Great Bridge, Western Branch or Indian River can take out a Menchville in the playoffs with their number one pitcher on the mound.

FC - 4
Norview - 3
WP - John Bowman

FC - 7
Maury - 2
WP - Ryan Cook

Cook did a very nice job - stayed ahead of batters all game.

Take away errors and add the sticks and you get a different result.
Spring Break is also used to let other players get some playing time and FC rotated alot of kids....
Good Job!!

That is the case in every loss or tight game. ??

Cox over Indian River, 13-12... it was a slugfest.

and i heard the FC/Maury score was 7 to 4, i guess i was told wrong? Regardless, nice way to bounce back for FC after getting beat badly the last two

Driller,

The last time you talked about the beach being "weak" and "young" was in 2005. I'll keep my hopes up that the final results in the beach will be the same in 2010. My glass is half full!

F.C won 7 to 2 but Maury was out of arms and Cook pitched really good. F.C is finding itself, they played alot of guys and made a few errors this spring break. Maury is strong. But I don't see any team in the beach, unless they pitch their number 1 pitcher, can handle any of the top 6 teams in the SED. Its not even close. and I'm a big fan of every beach team.

Who pitched in the Cox/IR game? Seems like a lot of runs for IR to give up if they used someone in thier top 2 or 3.

As far as Beach vs SED if the whole of the week is looked at the SED has the better of it by far.

Other SED have a mix on the road. WB looks like it had an tough swing to FLA. GB still has Nova left and with a win they had a good trip. GF had an outstanding showing in SC.

Too bad Menchville didn't get in on some of this action.

Hanover over Landstown 7-3 F/9 in the longest game ive seen in a while, took over 3 1/2 hours from start to finish. Sandifer went 5 innings strong giving up 1 run, Schiable pitched into the 8th where hanover scored 2 runs & went up 3-1. Landstown tied it 3-3 with help from a Scott Hurrell homerun, but hanover came back with 4 in the top of the 9th to seal the victory.

Many thanks to Cox H.S. coaches, players and parents for all their work organizing and hosting many of the Spring Break tournament games. Great field, great weather and great games - a class act all around.

Did not mean to slight FC or Landstown by omission in giving thanks to Cox. MHS played most of its games at Cox but thanks also to FC and Landstown for hosting games over the break. It takes many devoted hands to get things right - especially over a Spring Break.

1943 Yankees or can I start calling you "The Babe" ? Quoting me from 5 years ago ? That's nice... At any rate, glad your glass is half full. Like the Cutter sez..."season's only half over" ? These young kids are only going to get bigger, stronger and better !

Driller,
Can't take credit for the memory, that would have to go to Grasscutter! But you should feel honored that your words are remembered.
