Like I said I probably left off many good players, if so I apologize. These stand out to me right now.

 

Hey Coach..can you give us some specific info on Josh Horton. I have had some people asking about him.

 

Josh is an outstanding hitter, and player. He is a very sound defensive player at shortstop, but I think he may play a corner spot or the outfield on college. Has 6.8 speed and has good pop from the left side. He has excellent tools and is a very sound player. He will do well at Carolina (UNC) that is. He was used as a closer last year for Orange and was throwing 84-86, but I don't think he will pitch in college.

 

Thanks...it was some UNC folks whom were asking me

 

additions

Benji Johnson- C- Northwood

David Sappelt- OF/UT- Southern Alamance (POY in Five County 3A Conference in 2003)- Has the physical tools to be a draft pick.

 

Welcome Aboard coachevans26!
Nice scouting report! I read alot of your posts at HSBBW. Have you seen Joe Cutler pitch?

 

Where is Joe Cutler on this list?

LHP/UTL from Cary

He was the Cary Legion teams MVP this past summer. He has hit either just below or over .400 that last couple seasons of Legion ball. He's one of the hardest workin kids I know. His size *might* hold him back from somewhere right out of High School, but he will be somewhere someday, he just won't give up.


Other guys I've played with/against that are very good:
Steven Newton - C - Green Hope
Josh Horton - INF - Orange
Daniel Hargrave - INF - Orange
BJ Dail - RHP - one of them Raleigh schools (Millbrook?)
Matt Mangini - Hitter - Apex
Brian Pollard - INF/OF - Apex
Hayes Hinson - UTL - Athens
Frankie Lewis - 3B - Fuquay
Will Chriscoe - C/1B - Athens
Todd Eberhart - OF - Green Hope
Alan Deratt - RHP/3B - Green Hope
Kory Judd - RHP - Green Hope
Tim Federowicz - Hitter - Apex
Jeff Hatcher - C/RHP - Garner
Jesse Lewter - LHP/1B - Wakefield
Lee Keith - 3B - Millbrook
Jacob Allen - INF - Millbrook
