BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

[A.G.]

catfish...any chance you will be out at the LC-CNU game on Feb 14?  I would love to be able to put a face with the name!

Looks like I will be at that game.  No other game in town that weekend.  Maybe my only chance to get a look at Lynchburg this year. 

Looking forward to hopefully meeting you!

3 guys to keep an eye on from the Greensboro College group are Richard Allred, Michael Parker, and Josh Spicer. Allred and Spicer are #1 and #2 starter and Parker is a shortstop who can flat out mash the ball.

GboroKing you must be a player from the team this year because looking at the stats from last year i see no Allred, Parker or Spicer so they must be transfers. They have never played in the USA South so no one can expect what they are going to do. We will see just how good they are as they open up with lynchburg and some other hard teams. Also being a Va baseball fan, i know that the rival teams like Averett and NC Wesleyan will not be to kind to welcome them to the confrence. Who ever is Gboro's number #1 pitcher all i can say is good luck, because as i understand you guys go both to Averett and NC Wesleyan so facing Hildreth from Averett and Moore from Wesleyan on their home field on their mound is not going to be a easy task.

You also say that they are going to be the #1 and #2, where did Kit Mock and Dorsett run off to

Mock graduated and Dorsett had arm sugery this offseason. He might be ready by the time the season kicks off but it is not for certain. Josh Spicer transfered from Lipscomb but missed the 2008 year because of a car crash. Michael Parker took a year off last due to personal reasons.

Guys,
here is my shot at preseason 1st team all conference...food for thought...

1B - Chris Despins (jr - CNU)
2B - Travis Beausoleil (sr - NCWC)
SS - Trae Bailey (sr - CNU)
3B - Alex Guerra (jr - GU)
C - Justin Batts (sr - NCWC)
OF - Eric Cole (sr - CNU)
OF - Tyler O'Neill (sr - GU)
OF - Mike Giarizzi (sr - CNU)
UTIL - Greg Van Sickler (so - SHEN U)
P - Ben Moore (sr - NCWC)
P - Ben Hildreth (sr - Averrett U)
RP - Kevin Moreland (sr - CNU)

Player of The year - Trae Bailey (sr - CNU)
Pitcher of The year - Ben Moore (sr- NCWC)

[GboroKing]

Alex Guerra did not return to GC. These are very good picks for all conference though costa. It will be interesting to see what pans out when the season gets underway.

[baseballbaseball]

GboroKing thanks for the information i look foward to seeing them play this year in the USA SOUTH against the VA teams and in the odac usa south tourney.  GboroKing being that you are a player i wanted to ask if the rival between you guys and averett or you guys and wesleyan is a bigger game because i wanted to come to the bigger game.

Costa  those are very good picks and i would pick Neal from CNU instead of Guerra for my 3b. Also someone should write the usa south and tell them to put out a pre season 1rst team all confrence. It wouldnt hurt and it would also bring more views and make alot of the usa south fans more excited for the up and coming season.

[GboroKing]

A lot of guys on GC are new so the bad blood is kind of shallow right now. From the looks of things the NCWC will be the bigger game since the last remaining guys do not like them very much

I agree with Neal at 3B...I look for him to have a huge year hitting in that lineup.

[baseballbaseball]

Yeah AG i think neal will be a huge advantage to the lineup for CNU this year  Despins, Neal, Bailey,   that a serious infield and serious infield with some bats.

GboroKing  from the past as far as my old self can remember i always though NCWC and METH along with Ferrum were rivals. Why has it become a three way thing with Averett NCWC and GBORO  Also why does anyone have bad blood with Wesleyan. From the times i have seen them play, Coach Long and his staff has a very well behaved team.

[rlscosta]

I know Seth Kivett is gone to DII UNC-Pembroke.  Where did Alex Guerra go?

[rlscosta]

More food for thought...Who are some impact new guys on the USA South???...I.E. transfer from others schools and freshman coming in?

You can't miss me I will behind the backstop with the gun and probably wearing NCWC or braves attire.

...and I will be the short loudmouth in the LC lid

A.G., you're not loud-mouthed, just fatherly supportive...at least until your boy starts dancing.

Time is getting closer, 37 days till CNU opens...which means it'll be Hillary cold....
