Toledo City League Predictions.

[default]

Looking for the top 4 predictions from any of you NWO softball Junkies, Recent developments in the past month have made me re-think my top four, I would also like to hear everybody elses.

My TCL top 5, (top 4 advance to the TCL touney to determine TCL Champs, for those that didnt know lol) in alphabatical order lol.

CCHS---( No Pressure 18over )
Clay--- (2 time TCL defending Champs)
NDA--- ?( Solid team, strong group of Seniors)
SUA--- ?( my Pre-season pick as #1 team in NWO)
Whitmer ( lost alot of talent to graduation, but hey its Whitmer with 4k in students)

All 5 teams have a shot at getting in this year.

 

[default]

I would go with
1, Clay, 2 time defending champs...enough said
2, SUA, best pitcher in TCL...and top 5 in area....IMO
3, NDA, like uber said good group of seniors and some good young talent to compliment them
4, CCHS, Hey they finally got there man.....lol
I will say it will be fun this year in this area with all the great talent and and great pitchers... we are very lucky and i can not wait......

Specifically Thos NLL Fans(dads)


;D[highlight]next post for 3 and 4 picks[/highlight]

 

[default]

3.NDA
[highlight] could this team keep upsetting SUA, for another year?[/highlight]
Uber?? what you think?? : : :

4.Now this one is the hardest pick. and I'm going to base it on pitching. Whitmer Panthers and they got a Great hitting 3rd baseman.

Now Wait , Central, Start and Bowsher I think need pitching but maybe they can Surprise me

 

[default]

Clay has to be the favorite..... SUA will be right there with them... should be some surprises there if the cards are played right. SUA has great pitching depth... probably the best of any team in NWO.
Obviously NDA has shown that they can win on any given day against any given team.... right SUA?
CCHS will struggle... Coach K is the real deal, but he does not have a Wizard wand that will perform miracles. ?They may be able to be in the final 4.
Good luck to all four teams... it will be an interesting battle.

I am gonna stick to SUA winning it all lol, you guys cant convince me otherwise lol ;D Losing 8 seniors is alot, and even a program like Clay will have growing pains.

Fast2home all Wizard coaches should have been given wizard wands at the pre-season coaches meeting. ;D

Thanks Uber. I thought you might be the ONE

I'm torn between St. Ursula and Clay. Clay losing their top 2 leadoff hitters could be huge. I could be wrong, I just don't remember them putting up large offensive numbers last year. St. Ursula could also use some offensive support and I think "DOUBLE L" could be it. Schultz, Allen, Loy, Grana, all tough defensively.
I think there's a gap between these 2 schools and Notre Dame, Whitmer and Central Catholic. Quite frankly, Central is now only being considered due to the quality coaching these girls will receive. Central sits firmly now in the spoiler role for eliminating Whitmer or Notre Dame from the "Final Four"
Whitmer appears to have lost the most with the graduation of Kulakowski and Gorsuch.
Can't help but notice the lack of mention of Start. Orban gone and the young gun transferring seems to be taking Start out of the conversation.

I see Thunder speaks about the TCL. Well, I think I will put in my two cents. The TCL will be won by one of two teams and they are Clay and SUA.

Although Clay lost Berry, they are getting just as good a defensive CF in Toni Hernandez and a BIG bat in Eryn Simon. They also have KC Graham coming up. Therefore, you have to give the advantage to Clay. They just keep reloading.

SUA will be right there. Schultz is a very good pitcher and might be able to carry SUA. SUA just doesn't have the offense that Clay has and this will ultimately decide the title.

ND has some good experience coming back and some very good young talent. I look for them to play the spoiler. Although Central finally got it right and offered the right guy the job, they still don't have enough. They lack pitching. Norm will however make them competitive.

Were did Start's young gun transfer to ? have'nt read anything about it.

I was told Maumee. That's all I know. There is an every day poster on this forum who could confirm,.....since they're the one who told me.

 

[default]

I can confirm---Kat Conway is transferring to Maumee.

(And I've ordered her a 2008 Rockettech as a house-warming gift, lol) ? ;D

What a TCL lady jumping ship to the NLL... JK good luck at Maumee Kat....

Open enroll or move in?

 

[default]

Move in----can see Rolf Park from the backyard. ?

Thanks 643dp, it's a little bittersweet.

 

[default]

It's a nice pick up for Maumee's program. I hope the transition goes well for Kat. She's always been a pleasure to be around.

Thanks so much, that really means a lot. ?
