I made it over the back bed of my good friend Vance Tiller's truck yesterday at Community House. Vance has a son, Preston, that is one of the best athletes in the area. His team, Community House Middle School has the best middle school team around I am betting. CHMS cruised to an easy season opening win over Carmel on Monday. This team is loaded with talent, if they lose a game, it will not be because they had less talent.
Following the game, we made it over to Ardrey Kell to watch Butler pull a late game win over Ardrey Kell. The Bulldogs lost a bunch of talent last year, but Tyler Tewell, Mickey Brewer and the rest of the Dogs aren't going to rollover for anyone. Incredible job of relief pitching by Butler.
AK struggled to hit the ball last night, only producing 3 runs. I am betting these early season struggles work themselves out and AK will be ready for action in a few weeks.
Ran into my friend Jake Robbins, lead pitching instructor at CBC Baseball at end of the game. He told me that Providence hurler Richie Schaffer had 16K's in a win over Weddington. Richie won the Greater Charlotte Hot Stove League Player of the Year in January. Ironically the other finalist Tyler Pilkington plays for Weddington and only have up 2 runs in the 2-1 loss. Those two guys are bonafide superstars.
Also a big salute to the folks that packed the house at AK last night. Coach Bagwell has put in a new brick backstop and a new net/fence and its impressive. It makes for a much better view of the game, Props to Coach and I hear something big is coming next year to the field
