What's the word?

Well, just like last year we are starting the year off slow. This is the opening week of region play and I know somebody has to be seeing some good games/good players. So, what's the word? Somebody shoot us a line to get this board going!!!

West Florence is off to a good start. Akeem Bostick is pitching well. His draft stock appears to be rising. Conway, behind Gore and Holmes, is strong. I think the way that region is playing their region games is great. 3 game series on Monday-Wednesday-Friday means you probably only see a team's ace one time so a coach can't set his rotation for the ace to see a team both times, unless there's a weather issue. Conway, Carolina Forest, Sumter, and West Florence are all very good from what I have seen, read, and/or heard.

I am also a big fan of how those guys are setting up their conference games! It not only allows you to get a more realistic view/experience of that team, but it also mimics (to some degree) what a college series is like. I think it adds a little something extra special to the high school season.

And I agree with your opinion on Bostick - he is a stud of an athlete!

Gilbert looks strong. Won the Comporium tournament. Run-ruled Midland Valley the other night. Only loss that I know of was at South Aiken. Saw John Miles Newman look great giving up 1 run in 6 innings of work against Waccamaw.

Fox Creek looks to be sitting strong in their region at 8-0, 3-0. Won the Midland Valley tourney with wins over MV, James Island, Silver Bluff, and Dixie. Lacey is 3-0 on the mound for them.

John Parke a Lefty from Greenville has pitched 2 games, 12 innings with 24 K's and 5 BB's and 0 runs against AC Flora in the IP Classic and Blue Ridge in region play. Greenville is off to a 6-1 start.

Spring Valley 7-2 overall. Just knocked off Sumter. Team is coming together and has a couple of real gamers that are always a threat.

SV has a good test with Blythewood coming up.

B/L NEED MORE THAN JUST HELP THEY NEED ????????

Yes Spring Valley does have a good test with Blythewood on Tuesday. If they knock them off, it sure doesn't say much for the coaches poll.But on the other hand Conway already showed where that stands.
