West and Etown should be a dandy!!!!

Pitching and defense.

Sunny days lie ahead.

Nice win for Scott.

Cov Cath is for real. Ryle and Cov Cath always play each other tough. It remains to be seen if Cov cath is as good as their "07 team, not saying that they won't will win the region in '09. Has a lot to do with match ups etc. and senior leadership. The 2007 Cov Cath team had a bunch of senior leaders.

Good pitching will stop good hitting on most days. Coach Roesel should be pleased with the early successes of the pitchers. It's a long season and Ryle has some good hitters. Moving runners and executing in key sometimes takes a little time.

Conner should be favored. It all depends on the pitching and defense. Is this a district seeding game this early in the season?

A very solid player and an outstanding competitor. Congrats!

Hard to believe that there isn't another CCH player mentioned as well as other 9th region kids.

Not much discussion about Conner High School. The team should be pretty solid.

Excellent catchers are a key in any good team. Look at the 9th region champs, that won sectionall and went to state(including CCH championship).All had good catchers. I agree that a good cathcer can control the pace of a game. Catching is a necessity at all levels of college ball, from DIII to DI.

Other than Maile and Smith, have other 2009 grads committed to a college?

Brad Popham has the potential to be an outstanding catcher.

Look for NCC to be in the regional mix. They can win it and if they don't they can pull an upset or two.

Is Shepherd a pitcher? If he's the young man I'm thinking of, he has the potential to become a top player.
