The freshman might not had pitched for Richlands for a little bit, but she threw over 230 pitches in travel ball two days before. Richlands will be a factor, but it will be because of Rife.
I would've agreed completely with this a month ago. But maybe only slightly now. They have a lot of young freshman in the lineup that are starting to hit their stride. Over half the lineup is hitting over or near .300. Also over half have went deep this year. So bats are coming alive.
The Eastside game they were off. Not taking anything from Eastside. They're solid. But coach started the freshman on the rubber that hadn't seen action in a while. I think the first game was more indicative the level they're on. Was tied in the 7th. They were also missing a key bat in first game. Again not saying Richlands will make ot to state. But i think they should give any team they face a hard time
Even after an uncharacteristically bad game by Richlands (softball) yesterday, I still think they have a good shot of coming out of the region and maybe going pretty deep in the playoffs.
Union could be decent, but they are atrocious defensively. 4 errors in the exta inning loss to Eastside Saturday and FIVE in the 17-6 5 inning romp over JIB. I think 3 errors is the fewest in a game this season:(
They must be decent if they went extras with Eastside. With Sartin on the rubber, Eastside is a strong team. Not sure how strong their offense is
I’m not sure why? SWD has Lebanon who will be competitive but how competitive will Tazewell be without the Compton girl? Richlands might be pretty good but unless things have changed Marion & Graham shouldn’t be contenders and well, VA High isn’t even fielding a team.
Tazewell has a couple decent pitchers. But i dont see them competing for region without Compton. Dont know anything about Marion. They still have their ace from last year?
Lebanon scored all of their runs before Compton entered the game
They didnt have a single hit after Compton entered according to the stats I've seen. They are a good offensive team regardless. Dont know much about their defense.
Essex isnt very impressive at all on offense. They've probably went backwards as much as they have forward. Werent they blowing out teams in their region? Or maybe Galax just has a really good defense

Im sure its been a rough year for coach but I think he's done a good job. You'll never be able to make everyone happy.
