Let me make a suggestion to your list friend of mine, their is a new giant on the countryside in the name of Tooele and even though they are not geographically in the UC they are part of R7. They will turn both of these list upside down with Folta, Mendenhall, Snow and Gonzales

Well Softy As much as I HATE to Admit it, I think you called this one pretty close, I may have switched a p_layer_ or two but this is close enough.

How do you think they will finish this year? I would have to give you around 3rd, I don't think they will go much higher than that?

Do you keep track of the boys _base_ball team? If so whats your thoughts on them placing in the top 5?

Zuke is not saying to much on them yet (I guess it is still early) all though isn't shunshine only a month or so away! Did Brummet and Mitchell Graduate or are they back? That brummet can throw that ball! Looking at him one would not think he could throw that hard and have the control he seems to have, And Boy that michell kid can swing that bat! we played them twice and he ripped a homer in each game and had 2 triples and a double in the next, speaking of an arm he threw an out at home from right field, he seems to be an awsome p_layer_, I would guess those two boys and one or two other p_layer_s have been or will be pick for some big collage some where as will alot of the girls you picked. Sorry to say My Son Graduated so my ball games will be limited.

Brummett and Mitchell are back. Spanish Fork is loaded. The Dons probably have more pitching depth this year than of any team I have ever seen.
Brummett is one of my breakout p_layer_s for this year. I like him a lot. You can see the stats of all the top returning p_layer_s on my web site at neilwarnerbooks.com. Go to the message board.

Zuke I will say oops for you since you did not realize this is a Softball discussion but feel free to jump in.

North, please share with me how the games went in St George and what coaches were nice this time around but most of all lets discuss the girls from UC and how they did against some pretty good competition.

Yes Tooele is in the region but they are not part of Utah County so for now I will leave them out of the p_layer_ rankings, but I agree they have some great ball p_layer_s but none any better than the girls from "The UC" but what a region 7 will be this season. Region 7 in Softball will be equal to Region 4 in _base_ball but I will guarantee you that the 4A champ is coming out of region 7.

For the most part the coaches all behaved themselves as for the games with UC p_layer_s I saw what I would expect to see. The Spanish Fork team had a ton of hitting and seemed almost at mid season form with their hitting. On the defensive side they struggled more than I expected but that is to be expected since most teams cannot practice with all of the snow we have. Holm in the circle is going to be the key to their high school season and its success. I went to watch Rage but both teams were from Las Vegas but I did notice Springville girls playing with Slammers and Twisters as pickups. Twisters had a lot of UC ball p_layer_s, the old Payson coaches were with Xtreme so there will not be much left in the UC at U16 and U18 other than the Sting. Most of the top p_layer_s were accountable for at this tournament and most performed well for the early season.
