heck, i dont even know if thats the name of our conference this year with us being a combination 3a/4a conference. we lost berry academy and north lincolnton, and got crest in return. but based on the fact that hunter huss has seven returning seniors, and that ashbrook lost so much talent last year, this is how is see it

hunter huss, east gaston and southpoint will fight it out for the title, north gaston will improve with the addition of a very good coach, forestview will not have a replacement for the loss of houser/wilson at middle infield, crest will struggle with pitching, as will ashbrook. east gaston losing their catcher will definately be a factor, but good coaching prevails. hunter huss has added two talented and fast freshmen, filling gaps from last year, no one will blow out this conference, and i predict it will come down to the last games of the season before a clear winner will be seen. but no matter who wins, the 3a champ still must get past kings mountain, and that will be tough. good luck to all

Cheese you picking Hunter Huss again this year. I dont think I would count Ashbrook or Forestview out of that conference. Both teams have several core players coming back. I also think the Crest pitcher can Pitch with most girls in that conference. Should be a great race until the end.

now Tony, I didnt really pick huss to win the conference, but we will contend with east and southpoint. ashbrook lost some great infielders, pitcher, and prime outfielders, dont see any replacements their. Forestview will have to shift prime infielders like haley anderson to ss to fill holes, doesnt look good, they lost great offensive power and speed with the loss of jessi and heather, dont see any replacements their either, but, time will tell and I believe that most of the teams in our conference will handle the leftie from crest, we're quite used to outside pitching (kayla) only worried about the ss from crest, great player. just an opinion :imagestor

TOO EARLY TO TELL

4A CC (only lost 1 starter,Butler game wasn't as close as score CC outhit Butler by at least 9-4)
ND ( what can you say a bridesmaid to WF no more)
BUTLER(don't think they lost anyone important,Ward will carry them a long ways
LANEY(will come out of east have all returning lost close games to SV last year.
If they have seeding the above should be in Raleigh but you never know for sure.

3A KM (should be undefeated)
WR ( only lost 1 )
Enka always in the mix

2A and 1A don't know

Should be Enka out of the west....that is west of Kings Mountain. Those two teams should meet again to decide who goes to Raleigh.[/Does anyone in the mountains ever beat Enka? RS Central should battle with K.M. for the One and only bid out of our now combined 2A-3A conference. East Ruthferton should get the 2A bid. Not good for our conference seeing how K.M. and R.S. played each other for the right to go to Raliegh. I dont believe either team lost any players off last years teams.:banginghe

There are good teams in the mountains, unfortunately for the past few years the pitching has not been up to par (other than Enka's). We all know that given the best defense and offense that without the rock on the mound its a tough up hill climb to get to Raleigh. Enka had the luxury of 3 starters the past couple of years. They now have one proven pitcher and a sophomore that should make an impact as well. RS game with Enka last year was a game with two different attitudes. RS wanting to win and Enka looking past that game to the next matchup with KM. Oh, what a game that would have been. It seems that every other year Enka gets focused enough to make it to Raleigh. Lets see if thats enough to get not only to the possible if not probable 3rd round match up with KM. My post looks like I already have Enka and KM playing in the 3rd round. We all know that anything can happen be it injuries or a timely hit or even an error to change a critical outcome in a ballgame. But, if we were giving odds in Vegas then I would bet on those two.

West Rowan will breeze through the NPC,& be back in Raleigh in June with all but 2 back from last yr.NW Cabarrus will hold 2nd,& N Iredell should grab 3rd,all being solid teams.

West Rowan will be difficult to handle along with NW Cabarrus, but West Iredell has a developing young team that will give the teams in NPC fits. They look to have a very strong team in the next couple of years.

Hopewell

No one has mentioned Hopewell. As far as measuring up to Central, this team was extremely close to knocking off the Vikings last year. Hopewell has strong pitching and hitting returning this year.

East Waccamaw Conf. 1A / 2A

think the three 1A schools can compete for the conf champ. Pender very stong loosing two starters. East Columbus loosing 5 starters still got stong pitching thats a junior started there freshman and sophmore. Trask a lot of talent. North Brunswick will be on the 2A side should be strong
