some big upsets brewing for sure.

Div IV Select highly competitive

Nobody filling out a lineup card and letting it play out in that bracket, esp in one game only

I was a bit surprised that CHNI sacrificed Game 1 for a supposed advantage in the remaining games, pitching wise

A lot of teams have done that since 3 game series started

quote:

St Louis pitching is very good beat Benton, Barbe and South Beau this year. Didn't always play to their ability but very possible they make a run.

Parkview losing last night to Dunham was a suprise to me.

Sulphur continues on their impressive pitching run also with 5th straight upset win. Sulphur needs 3 more upsets to finally get a home game

Westlake got a 2nd straight one hitter from Hardesty, walks are a issue but also had 11ks. Can't really tell if Kaplan threw their #1 or not last night. Westlake still has Spears and Anderson for games 2 and 3 if needed.

South Beau vs Berwick should be a tough series.

Div IV Non Select is guaranteed to have a SWLA team in sulphur with the bottom half of bracket being DQ/Vinton and Welsh/Grand Lake

as of now...swla and the river parishes are looking very good but that could change quickly

i will say one thing i noticed...the teams like VC, ed white, st louis that have a ton of experience winning in the playoffs the last 5 years...they are finding ways to win now that its playoff time. None have impressive record.

holding true for alot the divisions...schools that were considered down this year but have traditionally been very very good are suddenly finding their groove.

Moreau had a lot of movement on his pitches last night for St Louis

trace is very consistent and usually does have lots of movement.

i was most surprised by the defense from Catholic NI. all the errors surprised me big time.

ND of Crowley is looking for a coach.

I’d be surprised if anyone here had or was willing to give any scoop on that, but how are these types of jobs usually filled?

I don’t know how these privates can compete for good coaches.
I’m assuming boosters put something together, but for baseball?

Your in line to get a good one

Hang tight. His season’s not over

Rayne has a pretty good team. Not crazy at all.

didn't he just get a healthy bump

In other more important matters, PBHS up 9-2 top 7, but UL commit Durbin left in tears after trainer evaluated his elbow

This team has been cursed recently
