Whos had the most disaponting season?

Nice first post. You should write a letter to the Telegraph too.

Thanks for the compliment but i dont think i could write a better editorial considering the season speaks for itself

It wasn't a compliment. Slinging mud on your first post... Why don't you just state your opinion of the BG program?

its not "slinging mud" more of an example of the countless number of disappointing seasons.
I played for BG and it saddens me that such a great program had a lot of experience and couldn't make the playoffs, because they were starting to click on all cylinders in their final games and could have been a dark horse in the tourney

You have to be kidding yourself if they were 3-7 for there last 10 games and got mercy ruled 3 of the 10 games and 2 of the wins were over teams that didn't make the playoffs either. Hate to see what kind of roll they would have got on. From what I saw they didn't have near enough pitching, definately didn't show up with the same intensity for each game. And coaching sure seems to be the root of the problem if you ask me. If the coach can't motivate the players with the talent they had and put up more than 6 wins in 19 games that's a large portion of it.

Anyone know final seeds yet? No post from NHIAA yet? Does Salem's tie vs Sanford, ME count?

NHSBCA was scheduled to meet yesterday for All-State selections. That should be leaking out soon. Looking forward to that release and the always fun discussion of the "All-Snubbed" Team.

Playoffs will be exciting as usual.

I thought BG would make the playoffs and maybe top 8 seed. Sorry they didn't.

Looks like West is on the road to improvement. Do they stay in Class L next year or move down a notch like football?

I would love to see a North-Goffstown rematch-final at Fisher Cat Stadium. Best 2 teams, but the other 14 will make some noise.

Get those brackets ready! What are the "Upset Specials"?

I love the all snubbed team discussion: People always get all upset saying that its disrespecting the guys who made it. But I disagree I think its a fun way to talk about some of the other guys who additionally had great seasons.

Upset special? Central and Kevin Veilluex vs. Nashua North? I am not going to predict that I don't think Central has the bats to get it done but I wouldn't be shocked.

The All-Snubbed is great when done right. It gives some players additional exposure and plaudits. Obviously, the kids that make it are deserving because a # of voters saw something special. The voters just don't see everything....and neither did we.

Central has a shot but I wouldn't predict it either. I think there are only 2 teams that can beat North. And they are Goffstown and Nashua North (yes, themselves)......or, well....maybe add in a Poore led Salem in the 3rd round. Need to see the seedings 1st.

Its really strange how long it took the coaches to announce the all state teams last year, they told their own players that made it then made us all put the pieces together. Held onto the info like it was some kind of top secret document.

funny cause from what i heard BG played near perfect baseball against North and played just as well for every game except for the usual one inning of defensive lapses

And a coach shouldn't have to motivate the players he just has to manage the game and if the game gets out of control put the kids in their place

But coaching is an issue when the team does the same drills in practice and which doesn't make the kids better, which is what i have heard BG has been doing

I will admit I picked back in the preseason for BG to finish in the top 7, I was way off and will take any comments knocking my pick, but if you look at the reason I picked them I still stand by the selection. They had a good crop of seniors this year and I want to wish them all the best going forward, many are former Showcase players or kids I have had the pleasure of working with in one capacity or another over the past 5 or 6 years. Best of luck boys.

Will O... you calling it? Salem with Poore on the mound vs. North tomorrow from Holman.

I'm going with North & Londonderry.
North will find a way to grind it out today.
That's what champs do.

Don't bet against Nick Poore I taught him everything he knows.

You are absolutely correct!!
I thought maybe North could play some small ball or capitalize on a few errors and get 3-4 runs. Apparently not. Sounds like it was a great game.
I lose my lunch money again!
Should be a great final.
