Good Luck to all

 

Went over early to watch some jr legion action then the big one cherryville and asheville could not beleive how thugish the Brunswick county team played the players cursed the fans, hit a homerun and danced around the bases like a ballerina, then to top things off they intentionally spiked the 1st baseman from Mocksville probably knocking him out of the rest of the tournament both benches then cleared , fans were all but fighting hope these 2 teams don't meet up again this could get ugly.also heard they did the same thing against cherryville the night before.

 

Oh you gotta be kidding me! If this is the same first baseman for Mocksville that I think it is (not going to name any names here), this makes the second time this year this kid has been intentionally spiked! A well known East Rowan/Rowan Legion starter spiked him in the very last play of the game, when Davie County knocked East Rowan out of the state playoffs. It took this young man several weeks to recover from that because it was around the knee area. But I heard that situation was handled in a professional matter, so hats off to coach Hightower of East. Now if this is the same player, and it is around the same knee location, that can't be a good thing. If it was indeed intentional, the player who did the "spiking" should be suspended for the rest of the tournament! This player obviously wasn't thinking about the "sportsmanship" part of the game!

 

how about some good updates. we see enough negativity in game recaps as it is.
