Tomorrrow, in a "Groundhog Day" rematch of two teams who met in last years TCIS Semi-Final game under virtually the exact same circumstances, Cape Henry faces Norfolk Academy @ Greenbreir Christian Academy @ 5pm. Cape Henry will once again put senior 1st team all- conference pitcher and slugger Pete Levitt on the mound against ? from NA. Last year, Levitt threw a no-hitter against NA in a game that saw multiple rain delays as well as a delay due to restarting the lights.....if memory serves, the game did not end until afetr 11pm???
Last year, lower seeded NA surprised favorite NSA to make the semi's and the exact same thing has happened again! With ace Beasley having pitched on Tuesday, who will take the hill for NA tomorrow?
Congrats to Dolphins Jonathan Whithead- 1st team all conference, Tyler Faubert, 2nd team all conference, and of course, Robert Morey- 1st team all conference and Player of the Year!
Congratulations to Morey...quite a pitcher.
The CH vs NA game is at 7pm. They always play the 2 seed games later because it is usually a better match up. NA will probably pitch Costen or Forrest. Costen is an 8th grader who has a great future ahead of him and Forrest is a senior side-armer. Both pitched against CH on Sun. The other option would be Dewey....it may be by committee, who ever is most effective stays in.
please confirm that time...the Cape Henry Website says 5pm and i believe the Pilot said so too........
when are state seedings settled ? looks to me like top 4 stay the same, bottom 4 go stc,trinity, collegiate and benedictine.
You were right Drop Bombs I was way off on that one. I guess NA beating NSA proves that point. I still feel NSA played CH tougher than any other opponent this year except GCA. NSA lost that one 4-2 against Morey. I have recently heard from some of the conference coaches that NSA just has no depth at P. Anyway I'll admit when I am wrong I and I was sure wrong on that one!!
The seedings are different this year. They are not doing the final poll till after the conference tournaments for a change. In years past the last poll would have been yesterday but it is now next week. As far as the top four, NSA lost 2 in a row and one against an unranked team so i think they will drop some. I don't know who won the Collegiate St Chris game either but that should affect it too. I think you can count on the top 3 staying the same as long as CH beats NA.
stc beat collegiate, benedictine lost twice this week. trinity won twice, nsa has beaten all of them. i THINK i have this right.
NSA did beat all of them. But stranger things have happened in the polls. We will just have to see. Judgeing by your updates They should probably stay put and trinity should move up but the rest is a toss up. Factor Flint Hill in there too and someone is going to get left out. When it comes to the polls though I have seen teams with losing records get in over teams with records like 19-6. Its all up to the 3 voters.
The NA cape Henry game should be an interesting one...Patrick Rice is on the hill for Academy despite a broken wrist
does anyone know if or where levitt is playing next year?
i'm sure impartialbut can answer that question
Levitt still is not sure where he is going. He has had VCU looking and a couple others. He will have a lot of people watching him pitch against NA so maybe this week will be his week. Rice is really pitching? That is a surprise.

Correction Fritzy-
The Friday and Thursday brackets you list are actually the Tuesday bracket quater final. I know that Cape Henry throws 7-0 Levitt against St. Chris and then if they win, will play again Friday night and probably throw Morey.

Sorry, I flip-flopped them...yes the stc/chc winner plays the pvi/tes winner on friday in colonial hts. and the nda/coll winner plays the bhs/nsa winner on thursday. thanks.
DIII - South Hampton defeated Alliance but I do not recall the score.
Many people make the adjustment BC suggests -- I do, in fact -- even though it is not provided for in the NFHS rules. The rule requires 4 innings, and makes no exception for slaughters or other shortened games (rain, darkness, etc.).
