It's that time again

No, the twins are not playing basketball this year. They decided to concentrate on softball. The only player we have coming from basketball was not on the team last year because of an injury. She has played summer ball with the group though.

 

Hopewell is set to defend the Title and who is preparing to dethrone them? Any thoughts?

 

CF
Great question, I think CC and Indy will be fighting to knock them off. I think CC has a better chance then Indy this year. But time will tell. As for the other teams AC will be there at the end. East Lincoln should be also. In the SWAAAA we have at least a threeway dog fight this season between Myers Park, Prov, and Butler. South looks to be strong as does Waddell and East. And you know coach Keelan over at Olympic is pulling out all the stops. I cant wait to get started. It should be fun.

 

I agree Dawgfan. CC got Indy's best pitcher on a transfer I heard. But Indy has great coaching, they'll regroup. Although CC lost the meat of their team last year, they're JV's were great and didn't loose a game. I thought East Lincoln was 3A? But we (HW) are really looking forward to the big game with your dawgs, and Bowen of course. We are supposed to play tomorrow at home against Indian Land, weather permitting. Can't wait!

 

Yeah Titanfan
Let me know about indian land, both Varsity and jv if you get toplay. We are supposed to play them Friday. our Varsity plays Weddington Thurs but they dont have a JV team.
We are also looking forward to Seeing you next Thurs. It will be a good way for all of us to see what needs to be done over the course of the season, in order to be there at the end.
BTW do you know if Vance has a JV this year? I heard they may not.

 

We heard from another coach at Vance, as of Thursday, they were not going to have a JV team. Makes you wonder what's going on over there since they have 2,400 kids at that school. By the way, our girls are really pumped about playing Butler since we did't get to face off last year. Win or loose, it will be great for both teams. In my opinion, and everybody has one, our 2 teams are the closest match this year. We definately have the best 2 pitchers in the state, Bowen and Ervin. I guess it will come down to who makes the 1st mistake.

 

Titanfan
Your right about the first mistake. when two strong teams face each other. its usually a who blinks first thing. I agree that both our teams will be in the hunt but in our conf. Prov is always tough and Myers park with the new coach and Meridith O'Conner on the mound are a force to consider. Like most seasons, the team that makes the least mistakes and gets a few breaks along the way will be there at the end. (but great pitching don't hurt)
Hey It sure is nice to talk intelligently with another schools fan for a change, I hope it stays this way once everybody gets here. I guess we will have to promote this kind of board rather then the trash that went on at the other one.

 

Amen to that! That other board was getting out of hand. Hey, I'll let you know the scoop on Indian Land if we get to play tomorrow.

 

titanfan, Yes, East Lincoln is 3A

Go East!!!!!!!!!
