Phelps 9 East Ridge 2

Final. What is the deal with this? I think this is the first time ER has ever lost to Phelps...The talent level in all sports up there must have went way down in the last couple of years.

Every year it seems as if they lose talent, and its as if the next years talent pool keeps getting closer and closer to the shallow end. On the verge of something special in their first year, outstanding second year, last year kind of started the slide, and after losing a handful of talented seniors it finally looks like the ship has sank for now. Hopefully some of the young ones ermerge quick, or what will be a long season this year will turn into many long seasons to come. I thought the cup cake schedule would help these guys this season, but it still seems as if they will be playing white knuckers throughout. Still young in the spring right though, hopefully their season gets on the right track. No where to go but up after practically their whole squad has been demolished by graduation the past 2 years.

One positive that I noticed was that most of their kids are in junior high...I would just about bet that they had more junior high kids than high school...One negative that I noticed was that they had kids playing that had never even played high school baseball before...Hopefully Larry can get the pitchers on the right track and maybe that will help get them through this season...Hope they can get it going soon.

Adkins is a great pitching coach and seems to know how to get the best out of his arms. Saw it with Tommy Adkins at Elkhorn. Saw it with Brandon Sawyers, Brandon Ratliff (Elkhorn City/East Ridge) and Tyler Ratliff, Eric Slone (Millard/East Ridge). Like I said most of their arms were lost to graduation in the past two years, with a jump start with the young ones, a bright FUTURE may be ahead in the next 2-3.

Don't blame East Ridge for losing this one. The Phelps Little League has been producing good players for some time now and they have good coaching at all levels, as well.

Absolutly true. Coach Adkins is a great ambassador for High School Baseball in the state.
