I would say it could lean either way but most will choose man. It really depends upon how your team is built and how you match up against your opponent. For example, you can't play Holmes man to man because they get most their points off of penetration, transition, and offensive boards.
I was told that Listerman always preached that ALL of his players must be at all of the preseason workouts. No Exceptions. This just shows how coaches sometimes don't stay true to their word when a star player is in the scenario.
I would say CC and Scott is pretty big this year. I also think that Holmes will have a little pay back in mind vs New Cath.(if they play not 100% if they do or not)
Beechwood's field is really nice. My only question is why no dirt in the infield? Only dirt around the baseball. Not too sure if I like it but only time will tell upon how the Beechies do.
