2012 Central Region Tournament Info

Thanks, that answers a question I've had for a while now.

Central is paired with Dominion, Capital with Colonial.

I was wondering if we could see a Deep Run (Boyle) v. James River (Kirby) matchup in the quarterfinals. The answer is no.

THANKS!!!!

Sorry to add to the confusion but Virginia Preps just emailed me (so that I can prepare the Path to the State Tournament) that they just received a revised bracket and it is Colonial v Dominion and Central vs Capital. Zirkle Blakey, editor, indicated that it would put Deep Run against either Cosby or James River in the first round.

I have wondered about the matchups also. If you followed the rotation from previous years it would seem to be for this year Colonial vs. Dominion and Capital vs. Central matchups. The first round matchup’s were in 2009 Dominion vs. Colonial, in 2010 Dominion vs. Central, and in 2011 Dominion vs. Capital. However, I believe the tournament director did release the schedule as shown on the link I provided. Perhaps he will issue a correction soon.

Here is the email which was sent out:

Maybe we'll get the Boyle/Kirby scoutfest after all?

We'll know in about 5 hours, weather permitting!

The boylenator.... should be a good one, either way.

James River beats Cosby, 11-1 in a shocker. (See other thread.)

That means it'll be Cosby, not JR, facing Deep Run at RMC on Memorial Day.

Oh well, might not have been a scout fest anyway, I forgot that Kirby had already taken himself out of the draft.

I do see a James River - Hanover game possible in the semis. Hanover has not been lighting up the scoreboard of late but they have been pitching lights out (Ellis and Casey) and playing sound ballgames. That might end up the key game of the tourney with a state berth on the line. (Shades of 2007?)

Midlo,

Hanover pitchers have been pitching well...I would add Chris Childress to the list with Ellis and Casey.

Doesn't Cosby have to win a game next week for that to happen.

I believe Chris Childress would be considered Hanover's best pitcher. He threw both games this year against Lee-Davis and at least one against Atlee. My guess is he will also win POY for the Capital District.

On a side note- does anybody know where Childress will be attending college? He should have some solid options but I have heard nothing about his intentions.

-- Yes, probably assuming too much. In fact, if JR loses in the semis, Cosby would have to win the tourney (2 games) to advance.

If Hanover makes it to the regional finals, wouldn't that give them an advantage being on their home field? Or, have regional finals been played on school fields in the past?

Yes... The regional final has been played on local High School fields in the past.

Not sure I totally agree with you, and thats taking nothing away from Childress, however Mike Thomas deserves it based on his pitching, AND his overall performance in the field and at the plate. A 5 tool player..

I know RF&P suffers from short fences, but the overall experience there is still my favorite.

Shepherd Stadium is my second favorite.

We've played a ton of games at Shepherd, and something about it I just really like. Maybe it's the cheap concession stand food that is actually good. (BBQ is homemade...). Maybe it's because I always run into someone I know. Maybe it's the "town ball park" feel with the stands etc.

I stopped by one day last year or year before and they were playing Legion Regionals or something there. While I've had a a few of my guys hit it out there, this kid (From NJ I think) hit one OVER the next in LF. Longest ball I've ever seen hit there.

I love Shepherd Stadium as well, there is just something about it. Great place to play and watch a game. At first I thought their BBQ was from Kings down the street, but somebody told me at a Legion game there (a few years ago) that it was homemade. Can't beat that!

Okay so you obviously don't watch many capital district games if you think that. Childress beat Thomas TWICE! In both games Childress had at least one hit off Thomas as well plus an RBI to go with it. Thomas reached base once on an error in their first match up. That alone should sell you for who deserves it not to mention Childress had a better batting average and pitching record than Thomas. Then to wrap it all up Hanover won the Capital District regular season. All that together is why Childress was player of the year. Thomas had a great season don't get me wrong but it wasn't better than Chris Childress.

Wow, you been stewing on that for the last 5 months?

Could be coincidence, but I believe Childress wore #14 for Hanover...

Emanski,

You're correct...he did wear number 14 AND he was the correct choice for the Capital District POY. Michael had a great year...Chris' was just better.

Funny...I thought the same thing.
