    Just the facts...

    SPCfan0, I never said that JMRobinson wasn't any good,,,,, go back and read my comments. I said that they were simply "one of the weakest 2 teams in the county this year". Sorry, but thats my opinion, based on what I've seen on the field this season, and I've seen all 6 county teams at least twice each. I think Concord beating Mt.Pleasant yesterday was a MAJOR upset, and I also believe "if" JMRobinson beats Northwest today--- that would be a MAJOR upset too.

    I believe I made my initial comments because "someone" was trying to say (earlier in the year) that JMRobinson was one of the best teams in Cabarrus County, and I just don't believe this is true. I would rank the county teams in this order so far: 1- Northwest Cabarrus
    2- Kannapolis/Mt.Pleasant
    3- Central Cabarrus
    4- JMRobinson/Concord
    *** Even though Central is leading their 4A conference, they have lost to Northwest and Kannapolis, and I believe Josh Benton (MP) would beat them too.

    Btw, Congratulations to JMRobinson and Concord for posting big wins in the Easter Tournament yesterday, but I'll stick with my opinion.

    One more thing.....

    I'd like to say one more thing about Piedmont being ranked #9 (or whatever) in the state.

    OVER-RATED!!!!!!

    I don't know how many losses Piedmont has, but I saw JMRobinson beat Piedmont's ace (M.Foard) yesterday, I know Kannapolis beat Piedmont in a nonconference game last week, and now folks are saying that Piedmont has lost several other games too.

    The polls are a "JOKE" if they don't have West Rowan included (and they don't), so don't put much stock in the polls. West Rowan is CLEARLY a much better team than Piedmont...

    Kannapolis' homerun...

    Spiderman, just wanted to let you know that it was Brett Bartles who hit the "bomb" for Kannapolis last night. You gave credit to Petty, but our Mr.Petty only had "warning track power" last night, getting a key double and a triple.

    Petty currently has 6 HR's for the year, while Bartles now has 5. Just wanted to give BB his due credit...

    The Wonders now have 16 total homeruns as a team...

    Here is my two cents on Piedmont:


    Piedmont went undefeated last year but got upset in the first round of the playoffs. Last year Piedmont hit the ball hard and they had their ace Matt Foard and star catcher Dan Brooks.

    This year they brought back MOST of their players and added the likes of other Union County aces in Josh Bartlett of Sun Valley and Jeremy Helms of Parkwood.

    With what Piedmont brought back and with all they added they SHOULD be one of the best teams in the state on talent. But, baseball is a funny game and obviously something isn't going right in Unionville, and if you ask me, it couldn't please me enough to see them struggle.

    They are now second in the SPC behind Weddington and they are not one of the best teams in the state.

    We agree...

    Spiderman, we agree on Piedmont. In baseball, you can have all the talent in the world, but chemistry is SOOOOO important. You may know the Piedmont boys better, so YOU can give them credit. I've only seen them a couple times, and (to me) they simply are NOT in the West Rowan/Northwest Cabarrus category. Piedmont is a good team, plain and simple. But they are not one of the BEST teams around... ...for whatever reason...

    Hats off to Concord. They knew they had to play the game of their life and they did. They took advantage of two Mount errors and capitalized on them. Congratulations!!

    Rusult of the 1:00 pm Game at the Easter Tournament

    Mt. Pleasant - 3
    West Stanly - 0

    Josh Benton threw a 2 hitter and the Tigers played some great defense around him. The win puts Mount into the 5th/6th place game tomorrow at 4:00 pm at FCS. They will play the winner of the Statesville/Parkwood game which takes place at Brown High School. Tomorrow in place of Statesville will be the Mt. Pleasant JV team. So you might see the Mount Varsity play the Mount JV.

    Schedule for tonight:

    Robinson vs. NWC 4:00 pm
    Concord vs. Kannapolis 7:00 pm


    The winners of each of the games tonight will play at 7:00 pm tomorrow in the 1st/2nd place game, with the losers of each of the games will play at 1:00 pm tomorrow in the 3rd/4th place game.
