Preseason DII Rankings
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 11:55 am
Hopefully this will be a fun way to stay connected with the teams in the Southeast. I would like to keep updating this throughout the season and keep records like pfloyd does for basketball. I am only doing the DII because obviously with teams playing almost every day it's going to be difficult to keep this updated. Im asking for fellow members to help post scores and records of teams so we can follow the teams.
Its a shot in the dark but here is my preseason rankings... respond with thoughts, key loses, key returners, pitching, etc. (keep in mind, I don't know all the teams extremely well)
1. Jackson -- have been dominate past two seasons. Hunter Sexton should lead another talented team
2. Meigs -- Had a great run last postseason, and have a majority of their starters returning
3. Circleville -- Were young last year and really came on at the end of the year. Jake Mancini, sophomore pitcher, all district last year will be tough
4. Washington -- Senior heavy, with 3 DIII college commits
5. Gallia -- senior Anthony Sipple was a 1st teamer last year, Coach Corvin always gets the best out of his kids
6. Miami Trace -- lost a lot, coach smith always finds a way to compete! Still have Burnside, Creamer, Wallace and Tyree
7. Fairfield Union -- they can hit! The Heston Kid had a good year last year
8. Logan Elm -- Graduated a lot. lost McDonald, and Lands. Is Alex at Savannah St already?
9. Waverly -- Extremely young last year, returning most. Could have tough time getting moved up to DII
10. Hillsboro
11. Sheridan
12. Unioto
13. Warren
14. Athens
15. Chillicothe
16. Merietta
17. New Lex
18. McClain
19. Vinton County
