It's that time again

Just wanted to inform all of you softball enthusiasts that Forbush will be holding their second annual scrimmage on Saturday, February 22nd (9:00am). This years scrimmage has expanded from 7 to 11 teams and will be held at two locations; Forbush High and Yadkinville Elementary. Teams include; Hopewell, West Rowan, Alexander Central, North Meck, South Caldwell, Southern Alamance, West Forsyth, NW Guilford, Davie County, Starmount, and Forbush. That list includes 3 of the 4, 2002 state champs as well as some of the elite programs in the state. Even though basketball will still be going on, I guarantee you will see some great softball. If you want specific game times and a schedule go to www.forbushsoftball.cjb.net and click on Falcon Scrimmage. I would be glad to post directions if anyone wants them.....

This is a very talented group of teams. I was just wondering how many of the teams will be affected by basketball. Do the Hopewell twins play. Also I have heard Alexander may pull out. Would like to have some info. I can't wait to see some good games and would like to watch the teams that are at full strength or at least close.

 

Yep, the twins and company are back. A year stronger and more mature. Scary, isn't it? Hopewell is only missing 1 player from basketball. They picked up 3 others from transfers. Looking forward to the scrimmage. We heard that AC was still coming. First game is scheduled for this Wednesday against Indian Land at Hopewell. Can't wait!

 

Thats my boy..............titanfan........and will those transfers, help in the OF or solid subs? I too, see a tough year ahead for the Titans Opponents, whoever they in 2003........some outstanding, talented and gifted young ladies who represent NC Softball.

 

I'm not sure that the transfers will make a huge impact. Every starter is returning so they will probably be doing some base running to start. But we needed few more, we had to pull up JV's for the playoffs last year and we actually used them. So the girls are welcomed additions. In reality though, that line-up is pretty rock-solid. Only 1 JV player moved up. But I have to say they are hardworking, talented players, they could surprise us. The JV team should be real good also, they are all back with a few excellent freshmen added to the mix.

By the way, have you seen our schedule? We had EVERYBODY calling wanting to play us. We lined up all of the big guns. We are in the Tournament of Champions in Taylorsville, the Forbush Scrimmage and we are going to the Wendy's Classic Invitational in Ohio (only the top teams in the country were invited). We also scheduled good non-conference games like Butler, Indian Land, Myers Park, etc. So I guess we'll be very busy defending the title. But we wanted it that way. I would much rather play good competition and loose, than to blow lesser teams away. Not to mention our conference has big teams also, North Meck, Central Cabarrus and Independence. Our plate is pretty full. But we're looking forward to the challenge.

We already know that we are nationally ranked but we don't have a number yet, they haven't been released. You can check them out on www.studentsports.com. The updated Fab50 will be out soon. They are also supposed to do a feature article on the twins.

Wish us luck, were're gonna need it.

 

titanfan, thanks for the info but I knew the twins were playing softball again what I was asking is are they playing basketball or will they be at the scrimmage. I know several teams still have some key players playing basketball and will still be next weekend. I would like to see all these teams together at full strength as these are all some of the states top teams

 

I am looking forward to seeing some good games. I know that 4 or 5 of South Caldwell's starters won't be able to play as they will be in the basketball playoffs. Hope the weather gets better so we will be able to watch some games in comfort. I know everyone has had a hard time with practice because of the weather and the teams will not be at their best but this is just a scrimmage and hopefully all the teams will get some practice under their belts there and intertain us as well. Good luck to all the competeing teams this weekend. Let the games begin
