| Has anyone played Lynnhaven Longhorns, Southeren Sluggers or East Alabama Baseball? All 3 are major teams that we play on Saturday. |

Bo Where are yall playing? Lynhaven is a solid major team . Southern Sluggers have struggled in the majors as of late and may be headed to AAA.(although they have major caliber players ) Never seen the East Alabama team but heard they are pretty equal to the Oxford Swarm team.
Yall have a tough pool for sure and if we were in your shoes would probably go 0-3. All three have solid Sunday pitchers so better play to win on Saturday. Still early in the season and this should give you a good idea on where you are..Good Luck and take it easy on us in the Super Nit !!! |

Hey Bo...looks like you have your work cut out for you on Saturday but you guys looked good in the last tournament so just keep hitting the ball and hopefully you can hold your own. As I recall, the last tournament you traveled outside of the State of Georgia to play you did pretty good, huh? ;)
GO DOGS! ;)

| Moccs are off for the week. We have 4 playing Little league and 2 gone on school trips. After last weeks rain I would love to go some where and play. Going to be difficult to get ready for NIT without playing or practice. They are supposed to post schedules on Saturday for NIT so maybe we want have to face you guys until Sunday if we make it that far. |

| Getting different answers. 8 pools of 4 last I heard with top two teams in each pool according to points not playing each other. This weekends points would not be included. In the majors last year with 32 they did 4 pools of 8 but the majors usually play a three game pool. I think first option is best. |

I have no idea how they d the bracket but it is not by usssa rules. My guess is there wre certain teams that requseted to play each other. I dont mind because we just want to get games under our belt.
Mocs How is the catchers thumb?
You guys will make it till late sunday. I just hope we can hit the ball enough to score some runs. It should be a great event with you guys and Sandy Plains. I will guarntee it will be one of you guys last AAA tournament for a long time.
Biggin where is the Black tis weekend? |

| My name is Jimmy Kelley and I am the head coach of the Longhorns. We have a good team but we still have a long way to go before we become a solid major team. We have a bunch of boys who enjoy playing the game of baseball and that makes it fun for me; win or lose. |

Bo . Catchers thumb is all good. We have Splains the first game and dont think we will get much from that one. The big game for our team will be who we play in the elimination game on Sat night. Elite Black are in pike going to beat up on some 12 AA teams. LOL |

| Moccs,just tryin to follow yalls lead I think yalls first tournement this spring was 12yr old. Were just hopin to sneek a win or 2 out on sunday. Heck iam just happy to play after last week. I think we all would be happy thru next sat nt extremly deep field not many so called pushovers. After almost 2 and half months of practice and only a total of 9 innings scrimmage I think we are still rusty. Good luck next weekend |

I think you should do just fine against EC diamondbacks and Oregon Park in pool play next weekend with the talent I hear that yall have. Since we are not able to play this weekend I will be confined to the computer hitting the refresh button to get scores on all the tournaments .. |

Had a great time in Auburn. Here is the rundown.
East Alabama-- Tied them 4-4 and they beat us 10-9. Good baseball team. Registered major and will probally stay there for the year.
Southern Sluggers beat us 6-3. Very solid team pitch and hit well. Won the tournament.
As for us we are going to be fine. We competed and will continue to get better.
Lynnhaven Longhorns---- We beat them 7-4. I would agree with Jimmy very solid group of kids. They pitch and field very good. They do the little things well. Very well coached. They need to start hitting but it is early. Great group of parents and kids.
Biggin did y'all win it?
