This will be a great finale to a rivals over the past 2 years. In 2017 parkers chapel was 4-0 against Spring Hill, winning all 4 games by 1 run. Spring Hill would go on to win the state championship while PC was knocked out in the first round.
This year the Trojans and Bears split in the regular season, each winning by 2 runs. Parkers Chapel won the district on a tiebreaker and was the #1 seed in regionals. Parkers Chapel dominated Spring Hill in the regional championship 14-4, as expected due to Spring Hill not having a deep pitching staff for a 3 day tournament.
Spring Hill will now defend their state championship against Parkers Chapel in Fayetteville next weekend. Can't wait!
Two top notch teams, should be a dandy.
I'll take PC. But Spring Hill has the edge imo. PC hasn't been in this position in a couple years while Spring Hill was just here. I do think PC is the better team but they can't let the nerves of playing in the State Title game get to them.
Always a dog fight between these two. Parkers Chapel normally comes out on top by a small margin, so I'll go with the Trojans 7 to 5!
Whoever has the least mistakes will win this one.
you gotta think that SH will be out for revenge after the debacle in regionals. Chapel should be hungry having not been to Baum in several years. They are hot and hitting the ball well at the right time.
Should be a fun one.
Chapel has had a good run this year. Without dominant pitching they managed the state finals. I'm sure they will see Spring Hill's ace and that may not be a good matchup for them. But in a 1 game final anything can happen.
For anyone attending the game, please don't judge our school based on our baseball parents. They are a whole different level of crazy than most of our people. ;D
Good Luck Trojans!!!
State Championship Game, I was wondering why this thread was so slow. Then I remembered they don't have internet access in Spring Hill yet
Too much #99 for PC to handle. Bears going back to back...

He's not near as effective without that 300 ft fence in dead center from the cow pasture.

So how deep is center in Baum? Unless I am not pickin up what your puttin down he should be even more effective! If you are talkin bout the stick he is capable of goin deep on any field you put him on! Sounds to me like maybe you yourself have been in a cow pasture!

Baum is 400 feet at dead center.
Did PC hit any homers in that cow pasture? For some reason I am thinking no. I think #99 shouldn't have a prob at all.
Score??
PC wins 10-0, game ends on a 3 run "walk off" inside the park homerun by the Trojan shortstop.
Congrats PC . Now let the focus on football season start.
Who was the MVP of the game?
Congrats to the Trojans! Bears.. Chin up chest out on a great season!

Carson Worthey was mvp
So much for SpringHill swinging the bats! Coach said in the Texarkana Gazette they could really swing it! Too cocky
Interesting because they scored 7, 4, 1, and 0 vs PC this year. Lol
How does a Coach that believes his kids can swing the bats well be too cocky? Yeah SH had a terrible game. It's two worse games of the year we're against PC. PC is a great team and I have the upmost respect for Coach Looney and the job he has done there in his 20+ years. They deserved winning the state championship. However, I don't want to take anything away from SH. Being the #2 team in the state says something about a team. Yeah we had a terrible night at the plate and in the field. I'd have to go back and count how many of the ten runs were earned but it was not many (still not trying to take anything way from PC, just stating facts). Point being, a Coach believing in his kids is not being too cocky, if it is, every Coach is cocky. It's not like he said it was a fluke for PC to be there and they were going to be the state champions this year haha.
Sounds to me like the Griffin kid from PC got screwed out of the MVP award!!
Good story for him to even contribute this season more less be the Winning pitcher after that bad knee injury he suffered in late January that ended his basketball season and put his baseball season in jeopardy .
Griffin was deserving but so was Worthey. Worthey has been the best player all year and had 3 hits, scored 4 runs, and had 3 stolen bases yesterday.
