FAVC Baseball

[miamibound112233]

I recently heard through the grape vine that Milford is going to have a rough season this year, normally yappi is buzzing with smack talk and information about how good they will be this year with returning players.

IMO Loveland will be good, with the strong arms of stoner and janscics back and engel a year older in the heart of the lineup, loveland will be good. However, Glen Este and Anderson will also have very strong teams. There may be only a 3 way tie this year. Also, Harrison has 7 returning starters, they may be a underdog 4th team, But if i have to pick an order it would be:

1.Loveland
2.Anderson
3.Glen Este
4.Harrison
5.Milford
6.Winton Woods

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

1) FAVC baseball should talk about all the FAVC schools, not just the Buckeye division
2) There is already a thread for 'favc buckeye'

[gniltserw]

Cardinal Division

Kings
Turpin
Amelia
Little Miami
Wilmington
Walnut Hills

[gclbaseball1]

Anderson's pitching staff is loaded this year with Rexroat and Kenney

1. Anderson
2.Glen Este
3. Milford
4. Loveland
5. Harrison
6. Winton Woods

Cardinal Division
1. Turpin
2. Kings
3. Little Miami
4. Amelia
5. Wilmington
6. Walnut Hills

[THS2011]

Turpin should be very young, with atleast 5-8 sophmores playing Varsity

[gniltserw]

Turpin should be very young, with atleast 5-8 sophmores playing Varsity

Your are correct. Turpin graduated 10 players last year. Kings brings back two strong senior pitchers and a strong junior class.

[THS2011]

Turpin will be relying heavily on the arms of sophmore Eric Martin, and junior Joe Cronin. Supposed to be two very good pitchers.

[GCPRO]

Who is the new Harrison coach?

Lets not sleep on the Ross Rams, annually the top DII program in the area.

[happygilmore]

i think that either turpin or kings could win the Favc Cardinal this year but it depends on who wins the head to head between these two teams...

[OptionQB11]

The Ross Rams always competitive during the season then an early exit when playoffs roll around. Why?

[LarryLegend33]

Who is the new Harrison coach?

Lets not sleep on the Ross Rams, annually the top DII program in the area.

Harrison's new coach is Shawn Sowders, long time assistant do Bader

[LarryLegend33]

Look for Harrison to be pretty solid this year led my Senior P/INF/OF Markus Kuykendoll

[stayflyyy22]

kuykendoll is a reallll good player, but i still think they are in the lower half of the buckeye.

[LarryLegend33]

kuykendoll is a reallll good player, but i still think they are in the lower half of the buckeye.

Only time will tell... Harrison has a lot of returning players only losing 3 everyday starters, and hopefully with Bo Fette back for his senior year, that will only improve the team even more

[hits09]

The league will be too strong again this year for Harrison. Kuykendoll will be one of the top pitchers in the league but they make too many errors and don't score enough runs. I cant see them finishing in front of Glen Este, Milford, Loveland, and Anderson.

The defense was awful last season, you're right there, but I think the run production will be a lot better with 1-6 in the lineup all returning

[vpride]

what about the talawanda braves?

[logitech]

Look for some new faces. Josh Claytor 6'8" first base and pitcher will help out Weiser on th emound.

[GCPRO]

No way the Braves can contend with Ross. After all it is Ross.

[Baseball Scout 34]

Did Todd Weiser hurt his arm in fall ball ?

[vpride]

The braves are a lock for a league title, anything less would be unacceptable. Especially with Zipko signing at D1 level, congrats to him.

[rampanther]

Who is the new Harrison coach?

Lets not sleep on the Ross Rams, annually the top DII program in the area.

Please, the Ross Rams annually aren't even the top DII Rams in the area.

[GCPRO]

rampanther-Ross has been THE best DII baaseball program in southwest Ohio for the past 15 plus years. I would venture to guess that no program has had a better record then them during that time.

vpride-the Braves last a topnotch assistant coach that could pose problems for their anticipated success this year. Best stick to the MVC lovefest.

I would say McNick is the best D II program in southwest Ohio

[GCPRO]

gclbaseball1-tell us again how many gcl titles it is that the Rockets have won.

[LarryLegend33]

when is the last time Ross even won their league?

2005 incase you need it

[bonafideplayer]

rampanther - badin is d-3 now

[gclbaseball1]

Rockets won state in 98 and have back back District titles. They aren't early exits in the tourney like Ross is

[GCPRO]

gclbaseball-could you please answer the question? I think Ross won a district title in 1995 and they annually have some of the best statistical leaders in all of the greater Cincinnati area.

[gclbaseball1]

2 but they have won 2 district titles and a state championship

[D-1fosho]

Ummmmm...have you guys ever heard of norwood??????

ross
wanda
edgewood

lost most of their starters, the starters for this year coming up are all j.v juniors from last year. Norwood j.v swept ross and took one form wanda and one from the edge.

Last years Edgewood and Talawanda JV means nothing to this years varsity squads. Most of Talawanda's JV will not play varsity this year. Last years Norwood team at the varsity was all Adam Clark

[WR21ST]

1995 is a long, long time ago. Ross can't make it out of sectionals these days...

oh wow, if they lost the guy i'm thinking of that could really hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[D-1fosho]

bro,,,bro...wanda's whole lineup were seniors, if j.v isnt going to come up and play varsity,,,then who the ---- is???

ha adam was good but there are a lot of better,,younger players that were hiding in his shadow. adam was one player, it takes a team to win. now norwood is solid everywhere,,not just at first and pitcher.

j.v does matter,,,it is the future
its talawanda's varsity this year ha ha ha :) :) :)

[GCPRO]

vpride-no doubt, a tremendous coach and an even better human being.

[vpride]

vpride-no doubt, a tremendous coach and an even better human being.

absolutely, now i know we're talking about the same person. however the braves will be fine, especially with their head coach, he's amazing. (just don't TRUST him!) FAVC title or bust!

[GCPRO]

tread lightly there my friend, i have been on my best behavior regarding the other thread yet don't push it. what is the baseball equivalent of 42-0

[Wood FAVC Champs]

Do you guys really think Talawanda is going to win the FAVC. They won't even win the Scralet Division, that belongs to Norwood no doubt. The only people we lost was Adam and Tyree. We have Travis Moyers, a junior already being looked at by Purdue, we have a solid 1-2-3 in the rotation, all three throw in the 80's, a solid middle infield, nothing is going to be going up the middle and tons of power.

[tatertot]

WOOD -
Please tell me you are JOKING!!!!!????? :wallbang: :wallbang: :wallbang: :wallbang:

Let me guess, he got an email and letter from the assistant at Purdue inviting him to the camp at Lakota West and now he is being looked at by Purdue. :laugh: Dude like 100 other players in cincy got that email and letter too.

na he recieved a call and change in classes, to fit purdue's requirements, (just so you know) :)

travis isnt even the most important factor to norwoods club this year, tyler sick and brett brink are. all though they do have a very strong junior class, (as frosh they beat st. X) without there top in the class; Chett Williams, Travis Moyers and Eric Davis.

[Wood FAVC Champs]

No im not joking I think we can beat any team we play no lie, we do not have any weak spots in our line-up at all and our pitching is so deep. We are going to be extra good for real:)

[vpride]

the FAVC is the Braves to lose!!!!!! too good of coaching!

[Wood FAVC Champs]

Alright whatever we will see, all i know is that we are going to be some hounds and we are all expecting to def win the division. If we don't with the talent we have it will be the biggest disapointment of my life and in Norwood history. I think we are the srongest we have ver been and expect big things from us this year.

[RedskinPride15]

THe Buckeye

1.Anderso/Glen este
3. milford
4. loveland
5. harrison
6. WW

the others i dont care for
but kings will be first in there division with turpin 3rd or 2nd

[stayflyyy22]

I honestly cant see Anderson winning it, they have solid middle infielders and Rexroat is a horse. Kenney is good also but he seems to fade after about three innings or so. i think Glen Este will win it all. Marksberry is a beast and fuller is also a beast if he can stay healthy. if Fuller stays healthy Glens Este will win it.

[RedskinPride15]

kenney fades after three innings..?
Really? No.
Ya marksburry is a hoss fuller is too but i honestly think it will be a two way tie between glen este and anderson for first place. glen este has pitching so anderson also has some great speed and bats, i think it will come down to glen este's pitchers vs. anderson bats. i think anderson would come out the victor if kenney and rex can pitch well in confrence and mainly games vs glen este

Good pitching beats good hitting. Which means Glen Este beats Anderson and wins the league. Marksberry will be hard to beat.

[IMO]

Who does Anderson have after Rexroat and Kenny? Any good relievers? I think GE has more depth, and if they can be disciplined and make the starters work...put up a few runs...and get to the bullpen, it won't be as close. I think the Anderson players should transfer to GE, and take a run at state...they sure don't have a problem with transfering in players, so why not transfer some out? :stirthepot: (*just a joke, dont take it too seriously*)

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

How is Rexroat's health? If Kenney is on he can dominate but Rexroat is the type of pitcher that, while he can dominate, even on his worst day he will keep his team in the game. Will he be 100% this year?

With Kenney and Rexroat, Anderson should be able to compete well in the FAVC. But I think it will be difficult if either of them are not 100%. While that's true with any team's top two pitchers, I think other FAVC teams have more pitching depth, at least with regard to varsity experience.

[RedskinPride15]

no im not i actually think thats a great ----ing idea i was talking to gerb and marksburry about that we could easily make a ruun at state:stirthepot:

true true very true ya i dunno what rex's problem is he is in the brace for another week or two i think, i know kenney has been having some arm issue's latley but right now is just working on getting stronger and some core stuff. i agree about the depth problem but we have alot of two way players/pitchers with schrear, rod, barden, karney, klingensmith, kuaffman coul dpossibly pitch weaker teams. with the varsity ecperience glen este has us beat hands down

Not sure it's Glen Este you have to worry about. They have had their own health issues and will really miss Snoke (the other graduated pitchers weren't too shabby either). Harrison has almost all their pitching coming back. Loveland has a lot. I think Milford has a lot of pitching and will always be at or near the top in the FAVC. Maybe it will go from the 4-way tie last year in the Buckeye division to a 5 way tie this year. Poor Winton Woods - they don't stand a chance at a win this year, even if they have a better team by their standards. It's going to be another good year for FAVC Buckeye baseball.

[RedskinPride15]

[QUOTE=AnUnbiasedOpinion;3438627]Maybe it will go from the 4-way tie last year in the Buckeye division to a 5 way tie this year.

NO WAY IT WILL END IN A FIVE WAY TIE MAYBE A TWO WAY 9 GLEN ESTE/ ANDERSN) BUT I DOUBT IT WILL BE A FIVE WAY!

[mustang93]

Not that they are a factor, but the word is that Walnut just fired their coach. Seems kind of late for that. Supposedly their AD made a boisterous proclomation that Walnut sports are back and that they needed a new coach a to take them to the next level. He made this proclomation at the local coaches meeting to a group of coaches that already have jobs. Very ballsy...I guess he is riding high on 2 football wins. Would any established coach go to Walnut at this point? I think they have a couple of good players but hardly any kids try out (<20) - can't really get to the next level with those numbers.

[Edgebaseball08]

Do you guys really think Talawanda is going to win the FAVC. They won't even win the Scralet Division, that belongs to Norwood no doubt. The only people we lost was Adam and Tyree. We have Travis Moyers, a junior already being looked at by Purdue, we have a solid 1-2-3 in the rotation, all three throw in the 80's, a solid middle infield, nothing is going to be going up the middle and tons of power.

If norwood wins this year then will be shocked to be honest last year they had clark and tyree and that was it. I played in the league last year and know that for a fact so yea but if they surprise everyboyd then so be it but i dont see it happening with talawanda having a strong team for sure and edgewood witht heir top end of the rotationa nd pretty solid offense and ross i dont see norwood competeing in the scarlet.

[stayflyyy22]

Milford's season is pretty muc riding on whether or not Gastrich and Mcfarland can get on the field. If not it could be a looooooong year for the eagles with a lot of younger players.

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

Milford's season is pretty muc riding on whether or not Gastrich and Mcfarland can get on the field. If not it could be a looooooong year for the eagles with a lot of younger players.

First off, I hope both of them are 100% this spring.

I knew they were both injured before last season. Per the FAVC stats last year, McFarland hit and pitched quite a bit. Gastrich just a little. Did either of them (or both) get hurt again? If not, why shouldn't they be able to get on the field? Did Gastrich catch over the summer/fall?

[miamibound112233]

both are probably in grade trouble? right?

[stayflyyy22]

Michael and zac are in goof health, it is grades for Michael. Zac has since brought his gades up and will be able to play. I'm not sure sbout Michael though...

[HONESTLY?]

Who does Talawanda have other than Zipko, Park, and Weiser? That is the only people they had last year and that is all that they will have this year. Ross lost everyone so they are not going to be tough, and just like Talawanda what does Edgewood have other than Elder?

[gclbaseball1]

Talawanda is going to win quit hating!!!

I think you meant who, who does Edgewood have.

[lineman4life]

if you seriously think NORwood not EDGEwood has even a chance at the scarlet you must be crazy. Talawanda and Ross should be the favorites hands down. Zipko wont have the same let down year he had last year. Park and Xavier Mckee(if he even plays)can handle the hitting. Weiser should be the number 1 pitcher in the whole division. Look out for Steven Kuehn to have a big year also at the number two spot behind Weiser to win some games.

[buntdr]

I think you meant who, who does Edgewood have.

Leichman who flat out rakes the ball.
Elder stole over 30 bases last season.
Martin who hits for power, average, and good speed.
They have a good core of players that will not overwhelm you, but play smart baseball.

then how did they get hosed by milford last year?

[Edgeball]

then how did they get hosed by milford last year?

I'll give it to you, Milford hammered Edgewood a season ago, but Milford also had a very good baseball team. So did Edgewood, they just had a terrible game...it happens sometimes. It's also hard for schools the size of Edgewood to match up against big schools like Milford in late week out of league games because typically their end of rotation pitchers are not as talented.

[bonafideplayer]

edgeweedy is d-1 just like milford, ugh that arguement doesn't hold water, it's always poor little edgeweedy, duh you are trying to get a new school because of how big u r growing, stop the little school mentality in spotts and by the way, play a d-1 school in basketball wouldya

[gniltserw]

kings should surprise some teams this year. they had a young team last year that is more expierenced. and their pitching is very solid. they should easily win the FAVC and compete with the top teams in the city.

[RoundballOZ11]

Badin is D3 now but probably still the best d2 program in southwest ohio. I know hammer me for it, but I am a little late responding. LOL

[turpin09]

Turpin will be relying heavily on the arms of sophmore Eric Martin, and junior Joe Cronin. Supposed to be two very good pitchers.

Supposedly? what are you on? Eric was 2nd in the Cardinal division for pitching behind his older brother and michigan state baseball player, Ryan Martin. Eric was a huge impact as a freshman and will have an even bigger impact as a sophmore as he matures and becomes stronger.

[stayflyyy22]

Anderson may be getting a transfer from Milford...

[gclbaseball1]

Anderson may be getting a transfer from Milford...

Who?

[stayflyyy22]

idk if i should say, we will wait for further details...

[gclbaseball1]

Anderson is very good recruiting.

[RedskinPride15]

Think i know who that one is form milford heard another transfer from glen este too pitcher nots saying marksburry either, anderson is gonna be solid but missing a few spots

[IMO]

If Anderson and GE put together their senior classes, they would have a pretty da** good team. They both have pieces that the other is missing it seems. Should be a tight race this year for the Buckeye division, depending on how each team uses it pitching.
