who threw that game? clarkson maybe?

No... I think it was Carter or something like that... I know he played legion. but i don't no.. i think that sounds right tho

[PHS9610]

On a good note for panther fans, have got word that a few players that didnt play last year, have showed up to there open gyms. I think they would help them out alot, but its a long way untill pitchers and catchers to see if they actually come out.

Does anyone know anything about grove?

Grove lost Adam Osterhage, and Zach Finley, the rest of the team should be back:
David Creamer, Nate Bogart, Brett Reed, Blake Walker, Nate King, Garrett Wolfe, Nate Schroeder, Jacob Miller, Kyle Stechschulte, Brandon Hovest were all on varsity last year. Along with the JV from last year and freshman class, they should be able to hold their own.
They were PCL champs and NWC runners up last year.

If those guys would stop and think about it, this is the only sport they have a chance to play on a NWC championship team, Paulding has very good baseball talent if they all play, this senior class can be every bit as good or better than last years class!!!

That's very good news! Let's hope they stick with it & play!

Bigguy.....it really wouldn't surprise me if you're Obringer because youre a big guy, you aren't gods gift to earth though, watch yourself in football you aren't that good, you stand straight up as soon as the ball is snapped, i'll give you wrestling, but baseball, no. vandemark and deitering will be behind the plate and be pretty strong too!....this is a good quote for Mr. Obringer.....when all is said and done, more is said than done

Calm down dude.

Sounds like good advice, dr lou......Not an impressive way to start off posting as a noob.

Well slice, and bluengold, the good news didnt last long. One of the kids allready picked track, and i would figure the other one will to. I agree bluengold, there is alot of talent, but they keep going the track route.

I know you may think i am biased.. but i believe that allen east will do better than expected this year. They made a nice run in the tourny making it to the district finals. The really only lose three main contributors in yetman swaney and copeland but they have alot of talent coming up. Watch out for big greg patterson to take a big step toward all nwc this year and if nck searfoss can devlope a breaking ball.. they have two quality pitchers with a great athelete in center in Hoy if he can get healthy .. ae will make some noise

[three sport man]

where's the field located at? around school?

[adafan]

Ada had a outstanding freshmen team last spring. I think the talent will definitely be moving up. Good times to come in Ada. Also, a dominate senior class should help the dogs.

Who has open gym workouts going - how do the numbers look?

[PHS9610]

Paulding has been having them for a while now, and they have been getting 8-11 kids . That number is good considering there total will be really low this year. They didnt field a jr acme team this past summer due to low numbers.

I am not sayin this because I am allen east fan but I too think ae will be a big surprise this year. They lost Swaney Yetman and Copeland but they have kids they will fill their spots that all played varsity last year. So watch out for Coach Yetman and the Mustangs.

[Schuermanisgod09]

Jefferson should win the Conference and should also make a big run in the State tourny after only losing 3 guys.

The Delphos Jefferson Wildcats will be the favorites this year. They have pitching and hitting and alot of returners from last year's tournament deep team. Very fine coach who puts the effort in. The other Delphos team will be pretty good also.
The league will shake itself out after them, with probably L.C.C., Crestview, & Bluffton battling for league runner up. DO NOT overllookk the Pirates! They made a strong runner in summer ball and have some fine players returning. It is ashame about their coach but I'm sure numerous parents will keep the boys together. Crestview is always strong & if L.C.C. finds two good starters they will be decent. These boys are use to winning. No Kottenbrock though.
The next group will be between Grove, Lincolnview, & Paulding. Paulding's coach stepping down will throw their program a little from an organizational standpoint. Need all their players to play. Lincolnview has a couple big hitters and a very good starter. Depth will be a question. Grove has a good nucleaus coming back with a couple very good players, but...they must stay focused throughout the year. Probably talented enough to be in the top tier but lacks individual discipline.
Rounding out the league...Ada, Spencerville & Allen East. Contrary to wishful thinking, Ada will not be that good. Unmotivated with last year's talent rich team only transcends to unmotivation with not so good talent. Spencerville lacks pitching and hitting from top to bottom. They have one big hitter coming back which won't be enough. Allen East lost their top 3 hitters and the rest of their team that returns will have to pick up the bats. Kids put in the effort but, its like burning wet wood...just can't get going.

[meanestkidaround]

Ada will suprise some people I think. Even though I don't know who will be pitching this year. I think they are having a very young team this year with only a couple people who played last year or the year before that. They just have to find a leader for that team unlike what they had the previous year. I think that if they find a leader then they will go farther than what you guys are giving them credit for.
