I agree that LCC should be improved and that this has developed in to a big rivalry. I strongly disagree with your assesment that JHS has some pitching and nothing else. Defensively JHS is one of the best squads in the region, They have three solid pithcers, Brashear at catcher and Walker at short are two of the regions best and unlike most teams in this area they have a really strong defensive outfield, maybe the regions best. Offensively, they don't have many long ball hitters but they a lineup filled with hitters who consistenly put the bat on the ball. They have a few slappers with execellent speed who live on the base paths and steal bases at will. There agressive style of play continually keeps the pressure on opposing defenses and scores a lot of runs. Also, you speak of LCC's young team last year, don't forget JHS starters last year included 2 juniors, 6 sophomores, and an 8th grader and their first player off the bench was a freshmen. All of these are returning and JHS should be improved as well. I look for very competitive games this year between these 2 teams this year but I think JHS would be favored at this time.

I strongly agree with you, jenkins is offensively and defensively strong. They have what it takes to win the 14th IMO.
