I would love to see the Rocks knock off Cinn X but the D will not stop the power run game X has nor the play-action pass. T does not have the O at this point of the season they had last year hence we will not score as many points. Cov and Beaty will have a very good game plan to break down the 3-3-5 D of X but it will not be enough. Repeat of 2003, X24 T-17.

I agree, but faith has the rocks in this one again like last year...this is the can't miss game of the year for Rock fans...

H by a lot.

commited to UK today at 2:00. Congrats to Sam.

I'm hearing really good things about Male, particularly involving vastly improved line play on both sides of the ball. If true, Male will surprise those folks that want to place then down below the top 5. I think last year was an aberration and Male will be back in the top 3/ legit contender for the state title discussion before the end of the year.

I can't tell you how much I hope you're right, but I ain't hearin' the same stuff...

I love my Crimsons but Manual will have a lot of reloading to do. Maybe they end up near the top, but I'm expecting a bit of a drop from last season.

Along your same lines...I don't get the respect being given to MALE...I think this will be a loooooong season for us.

All in all, this does pose a great opportunity for BGP...there is room for BGP to take up where TCP could not.

I can add this....TCP went to an all glossy presentation this year and had to edit quite a few pages out of the publication for cost and other reasons....

TP has accepted the offer from Central Michigan...

Great pickup. UL missed the boat here and his height is not really much of an issue.

^valid points...

This about T's catcher...my brother was a catcher for PRP during their run on titles in the mid 90's and I very much trust his judgement on catching mechanics. He mentioned that T's catcher was very instinctual...blocked, framed, and came out of the box very well. He had a good arm, but was a tad on the small side.

I don't know about his hitting abilities or his class, but if he's coming back next year it's a good thing. He gains strength and age...he's only going to get better.

Jimmy Ref......To be perfectly honest I do not see Trinity being better next year.I watched several Freshman and JV games..don't see a lot to be excited for in foreseeable future.Average talent at best.

Oh, I disagree...T had some very good sophomores playing varsity this year and maybe that is why Frosh and JV weren't that great.

Better next year? Maybe not, but I do think they will be just as formidable.

Tricky business saving a pitcher for a game that you may never get to play.....:thumb:

Rack...

I think T did the right thing, no way they (IMHO) beat X with a 'finesse' pitcher and even with Littrell it would have been a real challenge. Littrell is a very promising talent, but he is young. T put out a good pitcher last night in Hohmann and I think I would have done the same.

Any new updates?

Nice win for T...I thought this one could be serious trouble for them, but they seemed to not feel as I did.

Throwing tonight for T is Paul Hohman

hmmm, darn good win for X. X/Eastern will be fun...

^^Manual is an extremely capable team...don't see any 'easy' games in this tourney....

Not so sure T will save a their top gun until a deeper round...they just had a younger pitcher throw a complete game on Thursday. This could be an interesting tourney for T.

The incident at second wasn't much...just a little jokeying for position around the bag by the T runner and the B second baseman.

200-300 people at this game, if they meet again I'd guess even more in attendance.

...I think it was his father that went bonkers in the last inning...I never saw what he (the dad) was mad about...he called the Trinity base runner a 'punk.' Anyways, that and the incident at second took little away from a great game.

Great all around game by the Rocks...bats were warm and pitching got the job done.

Story I got from a player is that T had some team managers in the game. Not to discount Butlers win, but T is saving arms for the districts....

Who threw?

Litrell is a Sophomore. He had 10K's...
