I know it's a little early but how do you think everyone will do?

Goint out on a huge limb here................there is JJ Kelly and then the rest left fighting for runner-up status.

it'll be a surprise if kelly and burton don't 10-run rule everyone else in the district. they did last year and both return almost everyone. the lpd lost two very good baseball programs in coeburn and gate city.

Really hoping that this isn't the case. That has killed us upstate over the years. I am hoping that clubs like PV and Pound will be improved this season. Having VHS,JSB,Lee and Lebanon will help as well.

JIB

everyone else.

I look for JW to really improve the PV program, just not sure if he will have enough arms this year...

U all better get Pv while u can because this years 8th, 9th and 10th graders will be one solid ball club the next 2 yrs. With alot of pitching and several solid sticks. Don't be suprised if they test a few people this year as well. But the future is very bright this years team will have 1 Senior and that should be Delmas Lawson.

PV will be a good ball club, I think they will play well with JIB. They split with JIB last year in fact.
Kelly is as solid as a ball club as I have seen. 1-9, solid. They dont drop off much. But now is going to be the toughest time for the LPD, GC becomes prob the 3rd or 4th best team in their district now, GC faired pretty well against the LPD in their time here in the past few years. The Region is going to be a meat grinder. I look for the Region D to gain as much power in baseball as we have had football in years past.

I agree 100%, I have been saying those exact words since the decision was made to realign the districts. In years past the Region D tournament has been a less exciting version of the LPD tourny. But this year the team that wins the Region D Baseball crown will have something to be proud of.

I don't think I would place GC as the 3rd or 4th best in the CMD. They are probably a pretty solid 2nd to VA High, but JSB seems to have fallen off the last couple of years. Lebanon is up and down, and Lee has an improving program. That will definitely be a good district tourney though.
