SHL 09-10 Thoughts and Predictions

[squiggy]

Manchester,Peebles,Whiteoak top three.The SHL should be very strong this year.

[fhs_shl11]

Whiteoak has barnett and that is it...
so i would have to disagree with squiggy about them..
Eastern should be in top three with Manchester and i believe a tie for third in Fairfield and Peebles

[60' 6'']

squiggy what about eastern they win the league year in and year out, can't count them out, and manchester having lost several players it will be hard for them to contend again. I would have to say Peebles (1) Eastern (2) Fairfield (3) Manchester (4) Whiteoak (5), Lynchburg (6), Fayetteville (7), North Adams (8), West Union(9), Ripley (10)

[squiggy]

what about eastern?,who they have coming back, and who left manchester that was key to thier success(flora,shelton,varney)very replaceable!

[lions99]

Yes Eastern does have some people coming back and from what i hear a very good freshman class.
Peebles will be dominate as well..but my league predictions..

Small School
1. Fairifield
2. Peebles
3. Manchester
4. Whiteoak
5. Fayetteville

Big School
1. Eastern
2. North Adams
3. Lynchburg
4. West Union
5. Ripley

Fairfield is a new team this year but considering the lost of seitz i will put a tie between them and manchester and peebles...It will be a very very close race...fun to watch

[tigernation]

Lynchburg has 10 seniors and is solid.

Their kids played well and won the babe ruth league this summer in hillsboro.

Watch out for this team.

[shag]

Peebles all the way.

[Ironman92]

Bingamon graduated last year for Whiteoak

"Whiteoak has Barnett and that is it"........I'd say a long tenured coach with a greatly filled trophy case and a program that seems to never have to rebuild might count for something.

[fhs_shl11]

Thats what they said about North Adams with Dave Young coaching basketball...still didnt do much in the league...Sure i think he WILL make whiteoak a batter team because he is a great coach....im just saying he has a little to work unlike the last couple of years.

[fhs_shl11]

better* little to work with*

[thebull]

In High School baseball great pitching will make you a great coach.

[TribeManiac10]

Anyone know of players getting some college interest? I know Seaman is getting looked at by some pretty good schools but im not really sure if he will go baseball or basketball.

[TribeManiac10]

Peebles looked pretty strong the other day against Western Latham in their scrimmage. We had a bunch of the JV come up and play fairly well against the Western Varsity.

[thebull]

Two of the better hitters last season were Zac Dollich and Dillon Davis from North Adams both hitting over .400

We will see how they do against Peebles tommorow, it should be a good game.

Maniac you must have been at a different scrimmage game than I was. Peebles did not look good at all. Yes they were able to win the game but you have to look at the quality of their opponent. The team didn't hit the ball well at all(with the exception of 2 kids). The pitching is really going to make or break this team.

I thought they played fairly well considering they have had less than a week of practice as a full team this year. The game was really not very close, Western's performance only slightly picked up when we put half of the JV team on the field. Its alittle early to be putting the success..or failures of a team on the shoulders of one position dont you think?

LETS GO BIG RED

[fhs_shl11]

Fairfield beat North Adams 11 to 2 yesterday. Miller had 10 k's, while the lions hit the ball extremely well after the first two terrible innings. Fairfield plays Peebles @ Fairfield tomorrow.

[lion den]

Fairfield beats Peebles 14-1 @ Fairfield tonight .

Justice started for Peebles--Seamen a no show ( didn't hear why)

Miller & Campbell are pitching well. Team hitting has been impressive.

Go Lions!!!!!!
