1-4A Conference Champions

[Grover]

There are a few teams in the running, but the conference champion will more than likely come out of the PG/Greenland game tonight.

[hillbilly]

Let us know how it goes.

[B&GT]

PG won 4-1.

[McKnz]

Well...I know this is about the PG/Greenland game but Gravette beat Union today. A little rusty from only having one game in the past two weeks. A win is a win though.

[Prodigy]

What are the standings?

[McKnz]

#1. Prairie Grove -- 4-0 in conf.
T-#2. Greenland -- 3-1 in conf.
T-#2. Farmington -- 3-1 in conf.
#4. Gravette -- 3-1 in conf. (lost to Greenland)

After that I'm not too sure. There may be some other teams tied with Gravette for 4th.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[B&GT]

I think PG is 5-0.  They beat Huntsville, Union, Farmington, Berryville and Greenland.

[McKnz]

I think PG is 5-0.  They beat Huntsville, Union, Farmington, Berryville and Greenland.

Thanks. Either way they haven't lost a conference game. I still can't believe Pea Ridge beat them.

[Grover]

[Gspotlions10]

Gravette beat Berryville 19-3 today

[JonBoltin]

Monday PG plays gravette, and from what I have figured up If they win they will be the outright conference Champs, but If they loose they will be
Co-Champs with Farmington.

please correct me if I am wrong.

That may be so.  I know PG would get seeded before them though since they beat Farmington.

[amish_green_goat]

well, we won it outright so no worries 

[jdawg]

PG is the team to beat because of their pitching, solid defense and the ability make contact all the way down the lineup.  They are beatable though by Farmington or Greenland.
Farmington has the best 1 thru 5 guys in the conference. 6 down they are weak.  Thats makes them vulnerable.  Defensively they are probably close to PG in the field.  Farmington has three pitchers to go to also. 
Greenland would have a tough time beating Farmington and PG in a row.  They would have to score alot of runs and I dont know that they could do that against the other twos pitching.  Greenland probably does have the best overall player in the conference though, in West. 
There are no other teams in the conference that I have seen that have a chance.

Kahl is the best overall player in the conference. He not only does it from the plate but also the mound. He is also a very solid fielder.


Congrats to PG. However, I think that Farmington will end up going farthest because of the 1-2 combo of Kahl and Abrecht.

Abrecht is better then Kahl as a pitcher.  Kahl can hit I will give you that but he isnt the better of the two on the bump.

[amish_green_goat]

what about our 1, 2 punch in Scroggins and Ariola? they are both unbeaten and both hit well. Scroggins is actually our clean up hitter. i dont see farmington going further then us simply b/c they dont have the overall experience that we do. everyone on our team has been at least a 2 year starter. 7 of them for 3 years. man i hope we see farmington in the finals of districts. 

[jdawg]

PG does have experience but dont discount what some of the Farmington boys have done over the years. 
Abrecht does throw better than Kahl but he does not "pitch" better.  Abrecht has good movement and the ball pops out of his hand but he still only toes and throws.  He has no pitching thought process as of yet.  Blame that on his coach for not giving him some freedom from time to time to call his own game. Kahl still has excellent stuff and probably would do better calling his own game too.  I have been behind the plate when he has called his own game and there is a big difference from when his coach calls the game.  I have seen alot of high school coaches who do not effectively manage pitch selection.  Ideally the cather should be the guy to call it.  Like what Coyle so effectively does.  Kahl should for sure call his own.  I think alot of people would love to see PG and Farmington go at it again.  I will for sure do my best to be there. 

[key_stone12]

I assume you're talking about Farmington's USSSA experience?

Kahl understands pitching better than almost any kid his age, and always has. I personally think putting Kahl behind the plate to catch Abrecht is the best option. That's why I believe Kahl has the ability to go so far. Just ask the Legion teams that he played last season before he hurt his ankle.

[amish_green_goat]

kahl is not the best overall player in the conference. he may be up the list but i believe that colton west from greenland is the best. he signed to play for UAFS today. its in the paper lol

[key_stone12]

You forget the whole Farmington team are underclassmen.

I would bet that Kahl's hitting stats are better than Colton's. Even if they aren't, Kahl is much more valuable because of his ability on the mound.

[amish_green_goat]

well, greenland chased him off the mound pretty quick so i guess he's not that valuable. im still going with west.

[saywha7]

i agree that west is the best overall player in 4A.

[jdawg]

I will stick with West because of his speed over Kahl.  Farmington will be in a unique position next year with Miller, Abrecht and Kahl.  They will rank right up there as the best players in the conference for certain. 

[amish_green_goat]

yeah, maybe next year. 

[FarmingtonCardFan]

OR...  maybe THIS year

[Grover]

naw....next year.

[key_stone12]

They're the ones still playing.

Got to give them that.

[Grover]

Well true even though they are still playing, i think PG had more talent. We just didnt use it when we needed to.

[FarmingtonCardFan]

how bout supporting your conference?

[Grover]

hmmm how bout you read all of my other posts, instead of pulling this one out of context, on the other threads i have stated that i think Farmington will win state, and they represent the 1-4A well.

[key_stone12]

He has. Grover has been for Farmington ever since PG was beat.

[Grover]

Thanks bud

[key_stone12]

I still say Kahl is one of the best players in 4A. lol

[Grover]

Yeah he is pretty good.
