AABC in CHLT

On Deck O's 16 beat providence tonight 16-6.........Wes waddell pitched the first three,Cody Drake pitched two, and Kyle Josey closed. Most everyone looked good for the first game.

 

Do you know the balance of the O's 16-u roster? You've already mentioned three good ones.

 

Here's the O's 16U Roster, in alphabetical order:

Wes Borden (South Meck)
Antonio Cousart (Myers Park)
Cody Drake (Myers Park)
Daniel Foster (South Meck)
Daniel Hill (Charlotte Christian)
Martin Hovis (Gastonia Forestview)
Thomas Hovis (Olympic)
Kyle Josey (Butler)
Matt Layman (South Meck)
Jack Magee (Myers Park)
Jeremy Mathis (Myers Park)
Greg Miclat (Robinson)
Brendan Van Popering (Catholic)
Jonathon Ratledge (Country Day)
Trey Starnes (Independence)
Wes Waddell (Olympic)

2 guys on the OnDeck O's18Us roster who, age-wise, could be playing 16U:

Drew Martin (Gastonia Ashbrook)
TJ Worrell (South Meck)

 

I think Daniel Hill might be from christain, but other than that it looks about right.

 

Rain. For example, the 16U O's have had 6 games scheduled. 1 win and 5 rainouts so far.

BTW, Squid, the 16U O's, like the Charlotte Rhinos, the Mudcats, the Panthers and many other good travel teams, have the best of both worlds. They will play in several select tournaments -- Perfect Game, East Cobb, Jeff City, etc., and they will play 3 local AABC games each week they don't play a tournament. Keeps them sharp between tournaments and keeps the costs down (some, anyway).

Does one or the other always have to be best?

I must say that the last 2 years in the age group that is now 16U AABC has been very competitive. Sure there were a couple weak teams, but there were 5 or 6 solid clubs -- Matthews Cougars, Carolina Blues, Providence Panthers, Carolina Black Sox, Union Co. Sabres, Carolina Wildcats. Maybe it hasn't been that way in every age group, but our guys have had a great experience. It sure beats going to Kinston, Concord, New Bern or Hickory every weekend.

the squids not directing criticism at the teams, just the organization. as evidence, check the website out: http://www.eteamz.com/CAROLINAAABC/ that's sept of 2001 my man! this ain't 1952. the web is the way, even in the open sea.

organizationally they missed an opportunity. the league play is hit or miss, even the note you posted shows you still have to travel to get the consistently good competition.

as another eample, i heard second hand this weekend they never contacted E Meck (the primo, between the white lines, playing surface in CHLT) to use the fields though they scheduled games there.

you tell the squid about teams well, but the org is still just seaweed with a lot of potential.

 

I tell you who is going to be tough competition are those Park Sharon 18 year old team. Got some really amazing players on that team like that number 3- Trey Morris, 5- Adam Shirha, 32- Jason Phelts, 7- David Miller, and 2- Carl Buris. Watch out they really hot. They play the Raiders team this coming sunday go and check them out. I promise it's worth it they are great.
