The 2008 Lions will be returning six starters from last year's roster.  The returning Senior class includes second baseman Jackson Nichols (.353 BA), outfielder Trevor Starnes (.351 BA), and first baseman Danny Yawn (21 RBI's).  Trey Hendrick (OF, .388 BA) is the lone Junior
returning to the starting line-up.  Michael Gibson and Lincoln Lakoff started as Freshmen last year and will return to the starting line-up with a year of Varsity experience.

 The 2008 Lion pitching staff will be replacing the number 1 and number
2 pitcher from last year's roster.  Chris Gaw graduated and Jacobie Olin had season ending shoulder surgery.  They will be looking to Danny Yawn (Sr., 2.58 ERA) to fill #1 spot in the line-up and Michael Gibson (So.) to fill the #2 spot.  Matt Hogue (Jr.), Phil Hardeman (So.), and Will Drummond (So.) will round out the rest of the pitching rotation.

"To be successful this year the Lions will need for the upperclassmen of this team to lead by example. This team has plenty of talent.  The question is "will they come together as a team?"," added Coach Nesbitt.

East Hickman HS    Inaugural Season  12/5/07   005

East Hickman Baseball

This will be the first year our team at EHHS. WE will be playing in the very tough District 10-AA which had two teams advance to the Sectional Finals, with Marshall Co. making an appearance in Spring Fling. The Eagles will be lead on the field by a strong group of experienced athletes. Coach Smith will look for leadership from the
Senior Class lead by IF/P Kevin Wilson, IF/OF Lee Zigler, If Byron Beard, IF/OF Jason Choate, and IF/OF William Allen. The Eagles will also have a strong Junior class all with varsity experience lead by OF Andrew Fink, IF/OF Taylor Nash, IF Tony Pewitt, and OF Justin Jennette. Others that will contribute to the team this year will be Sophomore Jacob Voyles and Freshman Derek Gossett. On the schedule this year for the Eagles will some tough opponents. From an early contest with Friendship in the Wilson Co. Tournament, Marshall Co. in the 2nd week of District play, and then an away game with Goodpasture. Also on the schedule will be the cross county  rival Hickman Co. High School. "To be successful this year we must limit mistakes and forget that we are a new school. Play like we have done this before," said Coach Smith.

The 2008 Raiders are coming off a season that saw three freshman (Tyler Bigler, Kyle Brochu, Kyle Therriault) and two sophs (Phillip Branham, Justin Dillehay) playing everyday. Despite their youth they helped guide Sping Hill to its most wins since 2001 with 13 against a very tough 07' schedule.

Projected Opening Day Line-Up:

C   James Woody        Jr. 
1st Kyle Therriault    So.
2nd Tyler Bigler       So.
3rd Jerry Jeter        Jr.
SS  Kris Hardison      Jr.
LF  Chris Hardison     Sr.
CF  Kyle Brochu        So.
RF  Justin Dillehay    Jr.
DH  Phillip Branham    Jr.

With the Graduation of last years ace Matt Dunn. Someone will have to step into that number one roll early. There are three in the running for that spot right now based on summer outings. Bigler, Branham, and Brochu all have the ability and have shown major improvements over the last year. Bigler has the most big game experience starting against powerhouses Germantown and Riverdale last season as well as district rival Marshall County. During mid-week and tournament games a trio of sophomores that logged a lot of innings as freshman will get their shot. These include Wyatt Sherry, Zach Walton, and Brent White. All three could also be used as middle relief during district games. Others that could help out this spring based on this summer could include Dillehay and freshman Jeffrey Scarritt as well as hard throwing short-stop Kris Hardison being used as a closer.

"To be successful this year we must build upon the experience our young players gained last season. If we can get that coupled with more disipline at the plate, sound defense, and the development of our young pitchers this could be a very successful season for Raider Baseball", added Coach Lamm.

Giles County       21-17                         1/10/08       25

The 2008 Bobcats will be coming off a season in which they advanced to the third round of the playoffs and set a team record for wins.  The Bobcats  only return one starting position player from last year but have a lot of good young talent to step in and fill roles.

Rob Holley-P/OF-.362 AVG .552 OB%

The Pitching staff for 2008 should be the Bobcats strong point.  The
Bobcats will have four or five quality pitchers competing for spots in the top of the rotation.

Rob Holley 39 IP 44 K's
Shay Adams 19 IP 9 ER
Cody Whitworth 31 1/3 IP 10 ER
                                                                                                                          "To be successful this year we must show great discipline and determination.  Our attitude will determine just how well we do.  We must continue to improve in every aspect of the game," said Coach Boatwright. 

Page HS    16-12                       1/14/08              33

The 2008 Patriots are coming off a season which saw huge improve-ments in all aspects of the program. This year the Patriots will be returning 2 seniors, 10 juniors and 2 sophomores with varsity experience. With the addition of 3 transfer players, the Patriots are looking to rise to the top of a very tough District 10AA.

Projected Lineup

Pos.  Name                Hit/Throw     Class
C-Scott Lynn                 L/R           Jr.
1b-Garrett Gross            L/R           So.
2b-Zach Schoettmer     R/R           Jr.
SS-Trevor Scott             R/R           Sr.
3b-Codi Webb               R/R           Jr.
LF-Hayden Smith          R/R           Jr.
CF-Drew Bryant             R/R           Jr.
RF-Tyler White              R/R           Jr.
DH-Matt Blankenship   R/R          Sr.



Pitching depth will be the strength of the Patriots this year. With 9
juniors and seniors who pitch along with 2 sophomores the staff looks deep. Junior Codi Webb and sophomore transfer Garrett Gross looking to replace Jeff Hughes and Logan Adams who were lost to graduation. Other juniors that will contribute are; Hayden Smith, Brian Robbins, Chad Meitzler, Jim Caporali, Tyler White, and Drew Bryant. Sophomores Ben Olivares and David Seeman will also contribute to this years pitching staff.

"To be successful this year, the young players will need to build on what they learned last year. Their maturity and chemistry with the transfers and seniors will dictate how successful we will be this year," added Coach Brown.
 

Loretto               15-21                 1/31/08            54

The 2008 Mustangs are very optimistic about the upcoming season. They return seven starters from the '07 team with a lot of experience on the field. They look to restock the pitching rotation after being hit hard due to graduation.
