Re: WK5 Fairland v Rock Hill

I'll take the Dragons by 2 scores if they can get the qb - center shotgun exchange fixed! Gave away 10 pts last week due to at least 6 bad exchanges (not all the center's fault!)

Re: WK3 - Fairland (2-0) @ Ironton (2-0)

Dragons will struggle in this one. Qb play is not at the level for Fairland to win big games. Fairland has the athletes to play with any OVC team but without a solid qb to get the ball to them, they are limited. I am not knocking the kids that play the position for Fairland, they are just young and ...

Re: Is the Pitch Count Rule Hurting the Game?

8 quality pitchers? Most high school teams have 3-4 varsity kids that can legit pitch. 3-4 more on the JV squad. What I am saying is that if a team gets behind early, we are seeing coaches pull varsity pitching to save for a later game and using inexperienced Jv kids to finish. It is happening! Ive ...

Re: Is the Pitch Count Rule Hurting the Game?

I do have a clue Gold Blood. I won't go into my background but I do. All I'm saying is the game is already on a downturn. I know the reasoning but I do not feel like amount of pitches is a good gauge. Tommy John surgery or the injury that causes the surgery was not real prevalent until you started s...

I heard Barrick interviewed earlier this week. Don't know if that is true but source is usually spot on.

Is the Pitch Count Rule Hurting the Game?

I feel that the pitch count rule is killing the high school game of baseball. I understand the reasoning behind it (pitcher arm safety), but putting inexperienced kids on the mound 60 ft from a missile fired back at them isn't safe either. Some of the games I have seen this year are boring after a c...

Re: 2018/19 Fairland Dragons (17-4 | 12-1 OVC)

Well none against Gallia to start with. I had them splitting with SP, 2 with rock hill, split with Peake and Coal Grove, and Portsmouth sweep. Thought they could contend with Webster and Ironton (H). Didn't think they would win any other non-conference game. Man they overachieved! What was your pres...

Re: Division 3 Tournament Info

Without a doubt Fairland is the surprise team. What Coach Speed has done with this team and how they have bought into his style of play is phenomenal. Having said that, when you play teams the second time around they adjust. Hopefully the boys can handle that.

Re: 1/15 Chesapeake v Fairland

Tight game. As with any OVC game, no clear favorite this year. Dragons can make a statement by winning this game but I would put the Peake as a 4 point favorite in their own gym.

Re: Pfloyd's Elite 8 for Southern/SouthEast Ohio - Week #2

I think Fairland is in the right spot for now. No real standout on the team, but all contribute. Princeton offense is hard to defend and when they play some of these teams the second time it may be a different story. Lambiotte returning will help their depth some. I would hate to play them come tour...

I agree! Blowout at Fairland and Gallia came back and made it a game at home but he DID NOT outplay Vanhorn.

I see 7 wins on this schedule, maybe 8. Come tourney time though they will be a tough out for a #3 seed somewhere.

No contest. Good run for the Dragons but the road ends here.
