Do they have the potential to beat kelly this year?

I know kellys great but i havent seen them play this year

[wyattyap]

They have the potential and talent to do so,whether they will utilize it who knows?Just like last year we beat Kelly at Kelly,and the they come to Norton and whip us good.Ill be able to tell more about it after our next two games.Kelly is awful good from what im hearin down in Myrtle Beach.

[R13]

yeah we had a good team last year and I think they are even better this year...Kelly did clean up at the beach, i havent got a chance to see us over the break but 60 runs in 4 games is pretty good

Why is Stewart playing centrfield and batting lead off?
Seems to me if I were gonna hit him and play him in two of the worst places he was gonna be, it would be those two.

How the hell can you get a save in a 19-3 win.

Not to slight the Raiders,but Mack? C'Mon-Jenkins is god-awful. Try scheduling some actual non-distric competition for a change. I remember JJK playing Jenkins in a DH at Wise years ago and beating them something like 27-2 both games. Mack is still padding those wins I guess. Playing RC,SP and Jenkins isn't going to get you ready for JJK. You know this as well wyatt (have heard a few Norton fans lament the non-distric scheduling over the last lttle bit).

How is that not a slight to the Raiders? You just called out their "weak" schedule? Which must mean you may think their wins are meaningless?

[Unchained]

They (the players) can't help who they are playing=not a slight to their players. Compare their wins to JJK's though. The Raiders haven't even been tested yet.

I agree with that, Ive heard jenkins is awful and we need some tough opponents to test us out a bit, guess thats macks fault...I guess we'll have to wait till a little later in the season to see how good they really are...plenty of talent on the team, just have to see if its as good as others
