So... this could be the last year of conferences from what i guess i have read.  But for now I wanted to start the conversations about conference 19 since tryouts (feb 22) is not to far away.

For now the new conference consist of: 

Eastern View, Louisa, Courtland, Chancellor, King George, Caroline

Here are returning all conference players from the teams 

Louisa - John Reynolds-jr- P 6-1 56inn, 1.38 era 18bb, 25k, 3cg (1st team) and Jake Talley- Sr-SS- .386 avg 2-hr, 8-2b, 10bb, 9-sb (1st team)

Chancellor- OF- Nick Winston-Sr .386 avg, 2-3b, 9-2b, 7bb, 14-sb 12 rbi- (1st team), Mason Riser- 3b- Sr .409 avg, 2-3b, 5-3b, 12bb, 3 sb, 17rbi (1st team) Morgan-SS/DH- Jr .412avg, 11rbi, 2-3b, 3-2b, 10bb, 8-sb (1st team)  Cabrera- Sr- C, .(2nd team)

King George- Levere -Jr- P (2nd team) Halter - Sr- OF (2nd team), 

Courtland- N. Ciafa-Sr- SS (2nd team), D. Lann- Sr- C (2nd team)

Eastern View- Zach Plath-Sr-C .324 avg, 4-2b (1st team), L.Easter -Sr- OF (2nd team), also return All-American OF -David Laird from injury he is a Sr.

Caroline- ???

Should make for an interesting year- Last season I believe out of this group there were 2 teams that made it to regionals, Louisa and Eastern View.  Alot of these programs return alot of good players, but these were the ones that i could find were all conference of some sort. 

I also believe Courtland new/old coach and return most of its players, Eastern View is always in the mix a the top and have a solid returning core, Chancellor returns most of its top bats and arms, King George lost alot but return a decent core and Caroline returns some sticks from last years squad. 

I am  not sure at this moment who has college kids but any input would be great: I heard J. Talley-Louisa- Bridgewater, D. Laird- EV Radford, Z. Plath-EV WV Tech, L.Easter- EV Point Park (Pa), N. Winston- Chance-Averett I am sure there are others, is Riser going to play for his dad at Mary Wash?

What is everyones thoughts, I also heard all games are power points and regular season is nothing but collecting power points that determine seeds for the conf. tournament at the end of the year.

Heard Stowe left Chancellor and went to Spotsy is this true? 

And the conversation i had the other day said Caroline had at least one good pitcher named Carter, but that was also their opinion and all i have.  

I guess snow is topic for this next couple of days and how much and how long it stays on the ground. 

Coaching Wise is this correct?

Caroline- Dowe, Louisa - Fisher, Chancellor-Hundley, EV- Nobbs, Court- Acors, KG- Reviello

Midlo - I've pasted the pertinent details from the article:

 

Two major changes will highlight this big realignment, which will come just four seasons after the 2013 shift from three to six state-wide classifications:

Regions—the mid-level in postseason competition—will be changed again, from two per classification back to four. That’s how classifications existed under the old three-classification alignment (AAA, AA and A).

Conferences—the local level of play since 2013—seem to be scheduled for extinction, a unanimously welcome change.

“We support the elimination of conferences,” Eastern View AD Mark Settle said. “That vehicle is not working.”

CONFERENCE CLOSED

Under the previous, three-classification alignment, districts (the Commonwealth for most Stafford County schools, and the Battlefield for most Spotsylvania schools) denoted the local level of play. They set the biggest parameter for regular-season scheduling and postseason advancement.

Conferences were introduced with the 2013 realignment—along with much confusion among schools and across sports.

Although conferences became the vehicle to advance into region tournaments, districts still existed and governed a lot of regular-season activity.

“There were a ton of people even in this school who really didn’t understand what was going on [with conferences and districts],” Washington & Lee AD Malcolm Lewis said.

Stafford schools, for instance, had an easier transition. Except for the line between Conference 4 (6A schools) and Conference 15 (5A), the Commonwealth District remained mostly intact and the five county schools played each other throughout the year, then split into their respective conferences (along with Prince William County schools) for conference tournaments.

But Orange remained a part of the Jefferson District—centered around Albemarle—while playing in a conference filled with a mashup of other 5A schools.

So the Hornets played their regular season against traditional opponents such as Western Albemarle, Louisa and Monticello, but then competed for postseason slots with schools as far flung as Halifax and both 5A Patrick Henry High Schools—one in Roanoke, and one in Ashland.

Several ADs said they thought conferences—consisting of schools partnered by enrollment numbers—could work fine, and they knew from past experience that geographical districts worked, too. What didn’t work was the combination, with schools serving two masters at the local level.

I’m in love with the idea of the same-size schools competing with each other,” King George AD Alex Fisher said. “I think that’s great. We’ve got no problem with six classifications.

“But it needed to be a commitment. As long as we were clinging to districts, too, I don’t think it was going to work.”

EVERYONE TO REGIONS

The biggest change which seems to be coming is an all-in approach to region play.

Schools will continue to play regular seasons in mostly geographically structured districts. But each classification will be divided into four regions, with every team (eight to 12 per region) advancing to the first round of a region tournament.

It would essentially eliminate district or conference play as a key factor in the postseason. A state quarterfinal game would return in most sports.

Under the current alignment—with two regions per classification—the top two region finishers advance to state semifinals. But with four regions per classification, each region can advance two teams, forming an eight-team state tournament.

Chancellor AD Rod Crooks, who coached volleyball for nearly three decades, voiced the most opposition to the new alignment, because it eliminates what has been an important goal for Virginia’s high school teams: advancing to region play.

“I’m not a ‘Give everyone a trophy’ kind of coach,” Crooks said. “‘Hoosiers’ is my favorite movie, with the small school going against the big teams. I’m not in to watering it down. I’m in to earning it when you get there.”

Thats all the conference 19 schedules thanks for those who helped.

Chancellor over Northumberland in scrimmage 6-0.  Great pitching by Chancellor, some guy had radar gun on the pitchers, 2 from Chancellor were topping out at 86-87 range, first pitcher from Northumberland was 88 rest were in upper 70 range.  Chancellor had 3 triples and 1 home run , think they had around 10 total hits..  Northumberland only got 3 runners on base the entire game.  2 hits and 1 walk.  I think Chancellor had 1 error and Northumberland had 2 or 3.    Also went to Louisa over Fork Union 7-3, Louisa had good young pitcher, would say he was in the low 80's.  Louisa hit the ball well, especially the first 5 batters, think they had around 9 hits total.  Louisa definitely looks like a contender, strong pitching and hitting.  Both of these games were scrimmages, so it difficult to say, but both teams looked good with all the starters on the field.  Will try to get out to King George and Caroling scrimmages this week.

does anyone know what happened in Caroline vs CB? did they play

Zach Thomas was 2 for 3 with an RBI and Scott Bothum also had two hits and scored a run as the Cyclones opened with a darkness-shortened win against King George.

Was at the Chancellor Game last night.  Thought it was the Riser kid pitching, but it wasnt.  Think the kid's name was Cabrera.  Not sure where they got him, dont recall him pitching last year, maybe a transfer.  ODU scout was there looking at pitcher from W&L.  Had the Cabrera kid gunned at 85, think he had  9 K's in 4 innings with no walks.   Chancellor hit the ball well, think they had atleast 2 doubles and 2 triples.  Game wasnt even as close as the score showed.  Chancellor coach pulled the Cabrera kid after the 4th and put in a young pitcher.  He gave up 3 runs in the 5th.  Shortstop for W&L had a good night, 2 for 2 with 2 doubles, think his name was Bell.  He pretty much was all the offense for W&L.   W&L struggled defensively and made a lot of errors, but still dont think they would have won if they played flawlessly.  Will try to get to Courtland VS Louisa game tonight if wife lets me out the house.

From what i understand conference tournament seeding is based on not conference record, but just wins and power points in general, so ultimately regular season conference games are same valued as non conference games. Each win is 7 points, each loss 0 points unless you lose to a 5A team you get 1 point, 6A team you get 2 points but each win is still 7. then you average it out based on how many games you play. So undefeated record your power point rating is 7 .

As of 3/23 if its right

King George 2-1

Louisa 2-1

EV 2-0

Chanc 1-1

Court 2-1

Caroline 1-2

David Laird threw a three-hit, complete-game shutout with six strikeouts to pace Eastern View to a 3–0 baseball win against Pickens (S.C.) in its final game at the Green Wave Invitation in Greenville, S.C., on Friday afternoon.

Colin Glenny went 2 for 3, Zach Thomas singled and drove in a run, and Wesley Payne converted a two-out RBI squeeze play in the fourth inning for the Cyclones (5–2), who won two of three games in the tournament.

Does anyone have anything on caroline at deep run tourney

I saw today chancellor was rained out and now headed home, i think they went 2-1 in their tourney

Found out through an athletic director that games played out of state and vs private schools do not count toward power points.  So the games that Chancellor and Eastern View played out of state do not count toward power point games and now are minus those games total on their overall games.

I dont get that you could play a weak school giving no competition in state and it count and play a power house out of state school and it not count for power points.

I had KG down as possible like 5-2 record or somewhere but i know they dont report alot of their games, but in the freelance today it had them as reported record of 3-6, does anyone know their actual record or where to find scores for them?

I'm thinking that's a typo.  I have them at 6-2 pending the results of the 2nd game with Colonial Beach.  If they lost that game it would make KG 6-3 and the 3-6 is a deslexic typo.  Even MaxPreps has them at 4-1 (some game results not reported yet).  Free-Lance Star has a habit of inaccurate reporting at times.

Louisa’s quest for a berth in the regional playoffs had a disappointing ending last season. But on Wednesday night against Chancellor, the Lions made sure it didn’t happen again this year.

Riding a strong performance by its defense and a balanced offense that included hits by all nine of its starters, top-seeded Louisa outscored the Chargers 9–2 in the first of two Conference 19 semifinal games at King George High School.

Besides a return to the next week’s 4A-East playoffs, the victory earned coach Kevin Fisher’s squad a berth in Thursday’s conference championship game against King George at 6 p.m.

Chancellor, which beat Caroline 7–1 on Tuesday to reach the semifinals, closed its season at 11–9.

“This is a great feeling,” said Louisa shortstop Jake Talley, who blasted a three-run homer in the fourth to help break open a close contest. “We’ve been working for this all year. We still have some work to do, but we’re in good place right now.”

Talley’s deep shot to left off Chargers starter Tommy Cabrera plated Cale Agee and Alex Hurley and gave the Lions (13–5) a 5–1 lead, as well as a shot of confidence for their starter John Reynolds.

Reynolds turned in a workmanlike performance, scattering four hits with a pair of strikeouts over five innings, and then got strong relief support from Tristan Snyder and Jacob Patterson.

Meanwhile the Lions’ offense made the most of its 13 hits, adding four more runs in its final two at-bats. Center fielder Derek Hall contributed three hits to the attack to join Agee and Hurley with multiple-hit games.

“Defensively, we made some big plays,” said Fisher. “[Chancellor] was hitting a lot of hard balls right at us. And then the bomb by Talley was huge for us.”

Chancellor, which split two games with Louisa during the regular season, kept battling, though, and got on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth and fifth innings.

In the fourth, Chargers third baseman Mason Riser smashed a double to deep center, moved to third on a grounder and then scored on an infield hit by Tyler Garwood.

Jordan Fowler scored their second run in the fifth after doubling off the left-field fence and coming home on an overthrow to second base. His run cut the Chargers’ deficit to 5–2, but Talley’s blast in the next frame got the Lions back on track.

“[Louisa] is a good team,” said Chancellor coach Brett Gibbons. “But I don’t think the 9–2 score was indicative of the closeness of this game. We hit the ball really hard, just right at people.”

Fisher believes the Lions are ready for a strong showing in Thursday’s title game, as well as next week’s regionals.

“We’re playing well. I told the guys, it’s focus with us now,” Fisher said. “We have to just keep focusing and take care of the things we can control. That’s all we can do.”

DINWIDDIE 5, KING GEORGE 1

</dd></dl>
 
 
 
 

Posted: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 12:09 am

King George pitcher Dre Turner has had a lock on the Dinwiddie baseball team for the past two seasons. The tall junior shut down the Generals last year and again this year with impressive performances.

For nearly seven innings in Tuesday’s 4A–East quarterfinal matchup at King George, he had them baffled again.

With Turner in command and the Foxes leading 1–0 with one out in the seventh, King George was on the verge of punching its ticket to a date with Jamestown in the region semifinals.

But winning means getting the final out, and the Foxes (15–5) simply couldn’t get the job done in the final agonizing minutes of a 5–1 loss that brought an abrupt end to their season.

After Turner got Cody Jewett on a flyout to left to start the top of the seventh, Dinwiddie made the most of five hits and a pair of King George errors to score five runs and seal a stunning comeback win.

So now, instead of the Foxes making travel plans for the Tidewater area, it will be the Conference 20 runner-up Generals (15–7) who will move on to Jamestown on Thursday with a chance to advance to the state playoffs next week.

“This one stings right now,” said Foxes coach Thad Reviello. “We had some chances to add to our lead, but we didn’t get it done today. But these kids have stuck together as a group and battled through some things.”

They nearly got it done again against the Generals and their promising sophomore pitcher, Seth Mayberry, but never could break through after taking a 1–0 lead on catcher Jacob Sivak’s RBI single in the bottom of the first.

Shane Reviello singled to left with one out in the inning and then advanced to third on a passed ball. Sivak then drove a fastball to center to bring him home and give King George the early lead.

For nearly seven innings, it looked like that one run would be all the Foxes would need to overcome a strong showing by Dinwiddie sophomore pitcher Seth Mayberry.

Mayberry struck on out nine and matched Turner with scoreless frames until the sixth, when he turned things over to fellow sophomore, Thomas Sanchez. Sanchez added four more strikeouts and shut the door on the Foxes in the final two innings.

“Seth pitched his behind off,” said Generals coach Jason Burton. “We didn’t give him much help early with a lot of quality at-bats. But luckily for us, we were able to string together some hits and take advantage at the end.”

Neither team had many scoring opportunities. In the top of the sixth, the Generals got a runner to second when Alex Brugos singled and Will Driskill walked. But Turner struck out Mayberry looking at a third strike to end the rally.

King George had an opportunity to score in the bottom of the frame after Sivak was hit by a pitch and Miles LeVere drilled a single to center. But Turner flied out and Chris LeVere struck out to halt the threat.

That set the stage for Dinwiddie’s final at-bat in the seventh, and the Generals made sure it was a productive one.

Brandon Webb and Matt Culbreath both singled, and then Sanchez hit a grounder to Miles LeVere. LeVere couldn’t make a play on the ball and Webb raced home with Dinwiddie’s first run. But the Generals weren’t done yet.

Zack Donovan hit a soft liner to right to load the bases, and then Brian Sheeder, Brugos and Driskill all drove in runs to make it 5–1. Sheeder’s hit was a slow-rolling bunt to first that the Foxes misplayed.

Sanchez was all business in the bottom of the seventh, striking out Luke Barnum, Austin Halter and Shane Reviello to end the game, as well as King George’s season.

“We usually score early, but we like to make it difficult on ourselves sometimes,” said Mayberry. “If we hadn’t waited until the end, this could have been a completely different story.”

Miles LeVere had two of the Foxes’ four hits in the contest. Culbreath had a pair of singles for the Generals, who stranded 10 base runners.

Despite the loss, King George added a Conference 19 tournament trophy to its collection this season and won 14 games for the third straight season under Reviello.

“Obviously, we wanted to win this game today,” said Reviello. “But losing doesn’t take anything away from this season. These kids accomplished a lot of good things as a group this year.”
