PM me your top 10 by Sunday, I will calculate the top 10 and post it Sunday night. Your votes are confidential and will give use a consensus top 10 to start the season.
Off the top of my head;
Just going by my memory, here are the pitchers associated with each school along with any travel ball/college ball info I know about them. Anyone with additional information, please feel free to add it in.
NDA - Jenna Inman (Wizards) & Cassie Gillespie
Springfield - Bree Buck (Wizards)
Clay - Gallagher (Wizards?)
Central - Erin Seiler (Lasers Scarlet & Univ of Akron)
BG - Casey Ackenberger (Ohio Classics)
Southview - Allie Howard (SGS Magic)
Anthony Wayne- Lydia George (Wizards, I think)
Elmwood - ?
Napoleon - Kelsey Meyers (used to be Wizards but I think she changed organizations)
Northview - ?
Genoa - ?
Perrysburg - Felicia Eisenbrandt (Wizards)
I guess your the only one left from the old crew BGSU lol, a few years back a thread like this would have already had 100's of posts, people would have made an alias so they could make any comment they wanted lol.
I think the real dark horse may be Elmwood this year. Central doesnt make my list yet, yes Siler is a good pitcher, but will they have anything behind her? Otsego may make some noise with their Freshman pitcher coming in. We always forget about Archbold, and the senior class they have should be ready to break out. Whitmer will be solid, will their pitching hold up? They have a nice Sophmore class that will make an impact, and fill some holes. That is good enough to get them in my lower half. Springfield will be good, Gwodz is living the dream with his incoming freshman, and next year he has more talent coming in.
1. Springfield
2. Perrysburg
3. Clay
4. Elmwood
5. AW
6. Notre Dame
7. Whitmer
8. Southview
9. Archbold
10. Otsego
Looks to me like Springfields biggest problem is going to be to keep everyone happy, especially pitchers, there's only so many innings
Napoleon could be a dark horse in fact I would say thy are too good for that label.
Big early season game with CCHS and Springfield
Playing under the lights.
Springfield is loaded all through the ages. Virtually all the top travel teams from 10u-14u has a Springfield kid or 2 on it, and apparently they are cornering the market on pitchers. Coach Gwodz must be doing something right to get a community Springfields size this excited about softball.
OK.... let me give a stab at it....
1. Springfield--last year Freshman of the year pitcher Bre Buck is only getting better and better. This year's freshmen class is really looking good with Hannah Girlie, Libbey Mathewson, Bri Espino and a few others. I expect a breakout year for Emily Rockman.
2. Tough one here between BG and Perrysburg. Since Perrysburg's girls basketball team just beat BGHS, I will go with Perrysburg. I really like Ackenberger on the rubber or at bat. Eisenbrandt will prove something this year with her pitching, bat and awesome attitude.
3. Bowling Green
4. Central.... Erin will be even tougher.
5. Anthony Wayne... tough pick AW #5.. wouldn't surprise me if they end up #1.
6. .... now I need to rest my brain to be able to sort the next 5 out.... No wonder there are not many posts... this is really tough this year!!!!!
