Walton wins at home, but W'town may return the favor on the return trip

Sorry for the omission. I thought I had him in there. He played very well in both games. He is going to be a really good one

No, the opposite. They were patient on offense and never allowed Owen to run. I would say Owen would have loved to be in an up and down game. Owen shot poorly, came back a couple of times, but couldn't get over the hump. Had to foul the last 2 minutes

And I bet I know who the fans are

Owen literally played their worst game of the year at Grant last year. No excuses, Grant won the game. Also, I need to check back on your remembrance of the game at Owen. I could be wrong, but I don't think your statement is accurate.

You keep referring to team chemistry and playing together in regards to Owen County. I didn't notice a lack of unity last year. What are you speaking of?

There is not enough room up top for a regulation track. That's why the track is going in the bowl

20ROOK, You're right about 20, and about the season not being over. They just need more than one kid take ownership. If that happened, things could turn quick.

It's a combination of factors. Lost 6 seniors and a lot of pitching and bats. And the biggest intangible is leadership that has not been picked up by anyone yet. Mix that in with a new coaching staff, poor weather that has allowed sparse practicing(especially important with new players, new positions, and a new staff), a tougher schedule than they have ever played, and the record reflects all of that. They just need to have some fun, win or lose.

I'm not clear about the meaning of this statement. Are you insinuating the parents are the root of their problem?

They are 1,2,3

He has played some there. He will be a nice player in time, but I think it was a wakeup call to the others.

Shelby's got a great park. Too bad the score wasn't 33-0

Since you were not at the game, all you're doing is guessing.

A few is an understatement. They won't be going back to Harrison again. Two ridiculous calls at first, a foul ball called fair that was 5 feet out, a missed call at home plate, and a plate umpire from (I'm not allowed to say it). If Harrison plays them all at home, they will win it all.

Exactly my sentiments. Knollman, Sandlin, Coldiron are good. There are others that do not need to be calling boys' varsity games. We know who they are. It should tell the guy in charge of the 8th region officials when it is such an overwhelming consensus about some of these guys. Being "consistently bad" is not acceptable, because that is rarely the case. It usually turns out pretty one-sided.

Who do they return? I know Hopperton is back.

20ROOK Don't sell them short. They lost a lot, probably the best 1st baseman in the 8th last year, and also some good senior leaders, but some of it was cancerous, and everybody knows that source . Ogden is good for a win a week, plus a district and region win. I AM concerned that the schedule is so steep. They have to keep from getting their heads down early if we take some whippings. Your assessment about taking a little time is right on target.

I have seen your comments. I know how impartial you are. I also know that when it comes to Owen County, you are nothing but negative.

Yeah, not taking anything away from Shelby. Both teams played their tails off.

I don't see how you let him call a regional game, especially with the two he was teamed up with. Owen was making a huge run and the officiating crew made 5 devastating calls in the last minutes that were the crux of the game. Thank you 8th region officials!
