Pocahontas is returning Jaden Young who hit .507 last season. They return Matthew Waymon who was a big impact pitcher and can touch upper 80s. They have a very talented freshmen class that will make a big impact. Of course Chester will be moving up to high school ball and will probably be at the near the top of pitching rotation and bat 2nd or 3rd. Another player I expect to have a breakout year is Jackson Nichols. Kid struck out a lot last regular season but figured it out in extended ball and hit .552 I believe.

I liked the Waymon kid, I thought he did a good job last year. Would you say he is probably your number 1?

Riverside has a lefty that is hard to hit! He shut down Clinton who was supposed to have been pretty good with the bats and a 3a powerhouse year in and year out, Genoa Central in the post season last year.

McClure has always been a solid pitcher , is he going to be the rebels ace?

I would say so. He was the number 2 last year behind Gavin Stone. I'm hoping they have some kids step up after a big group of starters graduating.

Yes , The rebels lost how many starters?
Fraser will be tough to replace behind the plate

Lost 6. When McClure pitches they will have a completely different outfield.

NEA Razorback olfan

For Brookland we are just the opposite, we we have a new infield. 
McClure getting any looks ?

Who else pitches for Riverside?

Dillon turner will have a lot of innings. Ryan Austin is a sophomore, he will end up being a dang good pitcher I believe. And after that I'm not real sure.

Turner will do well, I haven't seen the Austin kid much.
Best of luck to the Rebels this coming season..except when they play Brookland..lol

Thanks, I believe Brookland should be pretty salty this go around.

Westside is still strong, Gosnell can't ever be counted out, Harrisburg has a lot of seniors coming back from a solid club, Highland was a young bunch last year, Pocahontas is probably going to be better.

Gonna be an interesting year, not just in this "conference" but NE Arkansas baseball in general.

I agree, I look forward to watching a lot of baseball !!

I'm a big Brookland fan, but I love to watch some of the other talent in the Area as well.
I would say Brookland relies on Pitching and Defense, We have been a fairly young team the past few years. This is probably our biggest sr class. I really like some of our younger talent we have coming up also. With most of our starters returning I'm hoping to make a good run at State this year.
After watching Jr. Jake Algee pitch some this past summer , I am excited about him on the bump and at the plate as he led Brookland last year with a .382 BA. Our coaches work hard and do a good job at getting the best out of our players.

Does anybody got any info on in the other teams in the conference

Congrats to Brookland's Brandon Glenn for signing with Lyon College today!!

Corning will win

Walnut Ridge always seems to be a baseball school with good baseball players, seems like they are in the hunt year in and year out, Melbourne has 16 parents as coaches and pitts and reynolds are ok if that coach doesnt throw their arms off. Highland will be better this year than last year, Cave City has a bunch of big ol young kids that are baseball players, look for them to turn it around in the next few years, Pokey always has athletes also, dont know much about new coach, hard to pick against the ridge at any level, cave city is my team to surprise some people in this division

GosnellBall

Gosnell has a young team. There are only 2 seniors and they are thenpitcher and catcher combo. But the rest r fairly young. If they can catch on quickly then it will be a good team. It will be interesting.

He will be the ace this year, but not sure who is going to follow him. We have a lot of pitchers that are young and not very experienced so it will be interesting.

I know u r from Brookland and you have a pretty tough team, we can't wait until we meet. It will be a good game.

Roberts is supposed to start but has struggled a little in the last few games. We have only been on a field 2 times this season, and those times being a game. We have finally gotten some field time so we will see if that helps. Roberts is still brushing off the dust. But he is hoping to come out strong and throw as long as he can. This will be a good game.

I agree , this will be a good battle!!
We have a lot of room for improvement , Roberts will be fine, very talented player!!  Not sure on who will be on the bump for Brookland, probably Glenn or Jones.

The Melbourne comment may be the most true thing I've seen on here.Melbourne's 16 Daddy Coaches is hilarious. Pitts can deal -  that part ain't no joke!

Walnut Ridge got a dose of Rhett Carter today. Melbourne got a heavy dose of the Bearded Wonder AKA Mr. Silberstein. Pokey cruised right over Hoxie. I would expect Dawson Chester to get his first start the next game they play. Highland may be a little better than I initially thought. Trivett/Stowers/Carter we knew were solid but they off to a hot start and Carter pitched a gem today.

TruthHurts

Did anybody go to the Manila/Nett game? Give us some details on what went on there today.
