All State Baseball Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 I came close to adding Allen Central (11-10) but didn't. Anyone agree/disagree?
Wireman Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Lawrence County vs. Sheldon Clark on a neutral court should be a fun one with a trip to the region tourney on the line.
Rez Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I think I'd go with Lawrence Co #2. I believe their only regional losses are to Johnson Central, and they have two wins over Sheldon Clark. They also have some nice out of region wins, especially over Cordia.
