To my knowledge, every pitcher from last years team was a senior. The major contributors to the offense aside from Faubert were also seniors. That is a lot to lose. As of the end of the season last year, the best arm on the team belonged to the catcher, Faubert, who I think really wanted to pitch instead of catch two 90 MPH fastballers! As Lacrosse is the **** spring sport at Cape Henry, I am surprised the got 9 players to come out.
Cape Henry was a force last year because their core of players had played together for so long. The problem now is they are all gone. Faubert is pretty much all that is left from last years team. The younger Whited (sp?) is still there but their main core of talent has left and gone away
Impartialbut,
You know better than I do, should I go watch Cape Henry and see Faubert?

Saipanwarrior, I would like to invite you to come watch Cape Henry play Alliance Christian tomorrow at 4:30 at Alliance. Should be a great game...Alliance is off to a 3-0 start, having won against Hampton Christian, Atlantic Shores and Isle of Wight.
Thanks Falcons Dad....I would love too....but my services are required to be at Norfolk Academy tomorrow at that time.....however, I will take you up on your offer to come watch Alliance play in the next couple of weeks.....

Saipanwarrior,
With so many talented players at Alliance, it's tough to single just a few out. They have 8 seniors that are all contributers from last years state runner up team. Mix in a junior and a couple of freshmen and it's a very talented bunch. They do have three All State players from last year that are starting the year hot. Cory Nelson (P/1B Sr) that has signed with Shenandoah, Martin Teig (P/1B Sr) that is going to play at Hampden-Sydney and Joe Riggs (3B/P Jr.) who I hope gets to play somewhere (LOL). Alliance also has an outstanding CF, Taylor Millanazzo (Sr.) who is also signed to play at Shenandoah. They should have a few more players sign to play college ball before the season ends or early summer....Pat Stafford (C Sr.) and Hunter Nicholson (SS Sr.). Like I said, they play solid as a team and complement each other nicely on the field. Solid fundementals all the way around and a joy to watch. They are a very humble and class group.

Well, Cheap, it is to my knowledge and not anyone else's. I do not have perfect recall, and don't want to state something as a fact that is not.I am not beating around the bush, whatever you mean to imply with that remark.Is it that irritating to you that complaining about me is the only thing you care to post about?
Saipan- Foubert was a very good athlete when I saw him. Young, innexperianced, and just about overmatched by Morey and Levitt. A very good contact hitter with some power. Very strong arm, with a tendency towards being a little "lax" behind the plate. Could pitch some, but you can imagine did not pitch much last year. Have no idea how he has progressed this year, but I believe he is worth a looksee!

The VaPilot has shown a few tough losses for Cape Henry. Any thoughts on their early season stumble? Is their any pitching after Morey and Levitt from last year?
No real mystery as to what is going on with Cape Henry this year. As others have stated, six members of the starting team graduated last year - including all of the pitching. The returning starters from last year include one senior, one junior, one sophomore and a freshman who started part time. Obviously, the team is very young but there is some solid talent there. Faubert is a very athletic catcher with an excellent arm and bat. Four to five freshmen start and normally one of them is pitching (freshmen pitchers have started each of the five games Cape Henry has played this year). The team is capable of some good outings - see Norview and Alliance Christian - but for now the pitching is likely to be inconsistent.
Yes, although I haven't seen CHC play this year, everyone knew they were going to be young. Last year solodified their "respect" points however the paper got it right when they were picked 6th(maybe 5th?). I wish their team the best and as the conference play begins, with 2-3 games max a week the pitching might come around with the limited innings that will be played. It seems as if they were a bit over the top in the scheduling. They have played a lot of games thus far and the boxscores show their lack of depth. Apart from CHC, Greenbriar is playing well. Havent heard much about NSA. Although I was confused about their game against Benedictine. The paper reported a loss but I heard they won? NA is playing well. No sure about their depth though. Bishop Sullivan looks to be turning it around, with the seniors playing well. Nofolk Collegiate has dropped a few and once again like CHC is seeing their thin pitching depth feeling the heat. Anyone want to fill us in on other news?
It seems to me the TCIS has struggled in general to start the season but looks to be turning around. I'm sure the teams will beat up on one another throughout the year as seen by Academy's win over NSA to start the year
Yes Beasley beat Davenport. Must have been a good game. Who does NA play next?
they played Christchuch today but i am not sure who won...any word else where

Last year, when I saw him, he threw 2.2's to 2B and was overmatched behind the plate. I don't recall seeing him block a pitch or make an effort to do so.
Redbird- I was being gentle, but I don't think you and I disagree. However, as he may not have been playing his natural position, and as he is very capable offensivly, I still believe he is worth a look to see if he has progressed and matured into a more all around ball player.
since i no longer live in the tidewater area someone needs to keep me updated in the TCIS...hows it lookin?

A big upset in the TCIS this evening. Cape Henry beat Greenbrier Christian 2-1. Michael Krohl (a freshman) pitched a great game for Cape Henry allowing 1 run over 5 innings. Tyler Ballard (another freshman) got the save pitching 2 innings of scoreless relief. Tyler Faubert's 2-out single in the 2nd inning drove in Cape Henry's only runs. Currently 4 teams are tied for 1st place in the conference, all with one loss - GC, CHCS, NA, NSA.

Faubert's time has dropped since last year, he has also worked harder this year than he has in the past but still shows that he can be "lax" at points. His hitting has also shown to be very good. Also Whited has show much improvement since last year. From what I have seen his hitting has been outstanding leading the team in homeruns and RBIs. The team at Cape Henry has shown to be a bit inconsistent at times but can compete with the best of them.
Who are the top returning private School players in the Hampton Roads area for next year?
