Again every opinion other than those from Lotts Creek are stupid.

You can't shelter the youth from all the big city schools, I would rather teach them they can beat them. Can't whine every time you don't get your way.

Been to many state tournaments and the absolute average pitcher throws 83-85. Only a very few in the last few years could even touch 90. If our mountain kids can't hit that then so be it. It may have more to do with coaching talent than numbers. You can only play 9.

I have seen several teams make it to the finals and win it with less than 85 MPH. If small schools are not able to compete with that then they shouldn't even be considered for a state title. I've seen some really average teams in other states walking around with state championships.

Why don't we just have a committee every year pick the best 16 teams regardless of region winners and then we can also have a "NIT type" tournament for everyone else. That should make everyone happy. Trophies all around!!
