Who is now in the concorde has anyone entered or left since last year.
My thought would be Westfield or Chantilly, to my knowledge don't both return most of their teams and were very competitive last year and didn't Oakton graduate a good bit of their team last year. Centreville has some guns didn't they have two or three kids sign with some decent schools? Maybe they could play a factor, but if i had to pick one I would have to go with Chantilly, JMO...
I don't see anyone running away w/Concorde this year - IMO it's pretty much wide open.
Robinson will be returning all but one of their pitchers from 2011. This includes three pitchers who threw 87, 88 & 90 MPH respectively @ East Cobb WWB over the summer. Also, they have four other returning seniors, who pitched significant varsity innings in the past. Not sure if anyone else in the Concord can match their returning pitching, although Westfield also has a few good returning pitchers.
Not sure the talent level at Robinson over the years presented the problem. There seemed to be a battle of players with coaches which got the best of them. Most of their loses took place in the dugout. Will be interesting to see how the new coach James handles the talent.
Agreed. Almost always seemed more talented than their record indicated (at least since 03). Interesting to see how the new coach works that out.
In my opinion, the best thing to happen to Robinson Baseball is getting the new head coach. Two years was long enough for coaching a team by bullying with threats, insults, screaming, cussing and repeatedly telling 14-17 yr old teenage kids they are the worst team in history.
This will be a fresh start for all the returning players. By my count, Robinson has five pitchers coming back, who by the way, have started on the mound for multiple Varsity games over the past two years. These aren’t players who pitched an inning or two in a blowout game. These were younger pitchers that started or pitched in conference and regional playoff games as sophomores and juniors. They will also be returning their entire starting infield next year. There will be a few open positions, since the team will have to replace two starting outfielders and their starting catcher from 2011.

Ditto!
The Rams are very talented. Their kids play high-level (Canes, Stars, etc...) summer/fall baseball. Their only problem has been head coaches. The morale and confidence on that team has been rock bottom. I really hope the AD hired a man that will balance his (head coach) career and developing talented young men.
We will see..............
