NW4A Predictions

Here is my predictions for the NW4A

1. South Caldwell (clear cut #1)
2. AC Reynolds (more talent that anyone but South)
3. WHS (could be lower, based off of the fact that I think we can beat the Cougars)
4. Alexander (could be higher)
5. Freedom (big drop off here from the front 4)
6. McDowell
7. East Burke
​

 

Will be curious to see what happens when SC and ACR hookup. ACR has a pretty deep pitching staff that people tend to overlook along with a solid group of hitters. They also have a couple of strong arm outfielders that may be tough to run on. I think Wautaga will have a very solid team with some pretty good looking JV players from last year that have moved up. I have to agree that SC is absolutely loaded!!

 

While I agree SC will be the team to beat, it's never over til its over, anything can happen in baseball.......

 

who in the nw 4a has a really good group of young players that may contribute?

 

Freedom High School Patriots

Freedom will have 5 frosh that will contribute. All were members of the Phantoms Organization and the Morganton Allstar Group from Little League fame.

Chris Fine-C/OF; will probably start at catcher; very good reciever, good arm, good speed, nice pop for his age, clutch hitter
Dakota Speas-3B/OF/P- 5 tool player that will be a load
Aaron Attaway- SS/2B/P- Solid infielder, good hitter, good speed, intense competitor plus he can pitch
Ely Lawson- OF/pitcher- Great footspeed and throws mid 80's consistantly
Trevor Tallent- OF/P- Awesome natural ability-Can pitch in mid 80's and will surprise with his hitting.

Freedom will have to find a replacement for CF Tori Conley, but that postion aside, has significanlty upgraded their talent at every position.

 

Watauga has some young pitchers coming up that should help out.
