Are they going to scrimmage at the high school (practice field) or down by the river on the game field?

Any updates on the schedule for today?

This is one of the most common misunderstandings regarding the Athens City Schools.

The rule is wherever the ball is when it hits the ground OR when it is touched by the fielder. The placement of the fielder or where the ball lands AFTER it is touched is irrelevant. The focus is only on the baseball and where it is at the moment it is touched. If it is determined to be in foul terr...

Yeah, that was a tough call. I was standing right in line with the 3rd baseline outside the backstop fence and could see it pretty well. It was a very close and difficult judgment call, one which needs to be made quickly. Either way it would have been tough and worth an argument, whether called fair...

Great time to get hot. Keep winning.

It has been a great ride so far. The seniors should be very proud of what they have accomplished. Likewise, there are lots of great underclassmen who have every capability of carrying on the tradition.

Yet still some unfinished business for this year, however.

Should be a nice year for this team. I love legion ball. Looking forward to the summer.

Athens 3
Meigs 2

8 innings

Well said, GW.

Yes, first game begins at 2:00pm.

That is because turning your shoulder in and staying inside the pitch is exactly how you teach a hitter to approach the breaking ball. GW, there was a considerable lack of understanding about hitting mechanics which caused people to assume the phrase "turn into it" means "get hit by t...

Athens 4
Belpre 3

Athens is 4-0 in TVC, 4-2 overall.

It was a good, hard-fought, come-from-behind win. Belpre took an early 3-0 lead by the 3rd inning, and then Cline shut them down for the next 4 innings. Got some "hustle" hits and a little help from Belpre's infield to make it 3-2, then in the top of the 5th Gillespie hit a 2-run blast tha...

youngredmen, I sent you a PM with some questions regarding the 3rd/4th grade tournament.

You could have heard a pin drop as people were leaving the stadium last night.

This family has such a servant's heart, all the way around. We will be praying that they will know peace even in the midst of this unavoidable pain.

warren, if you win it will be because the refs screwed meigs. if your jv wins next week it will be because you played your varsity players on the jv squad. but if meigs wins then everything will be fair and square. :oops: The smiley should sum up Tyler Durden's comment. You should be absolutely ash...

The Bulldogs finally have a victory, and the Spartans have no chance. Coach Adams isn't great, but he's better than Arno. Roof! Roof! I disagree, but at least Adams isn't a janitor like a certain coach/AD in the county. Still, I'm going with the Spartans, the best team in the county! You know, I ha...

Congratulations Athens on the first TVC win in only your second week of TVC play. You've been playing very competitive ball. No reason you can't keep the wins coming. The young Vinton County team played hard. The defensive line did a very nice job. And Grillo was hard to catch. He just needed a few ...

I was very impressed with Well from Meigs. He's the QB but he is also the punter. He's a fine QB, but he may very well be the best High School punter I have ever seen. I could see some universities taking interest in him as a punter. Very impressive.
