From what I saw on the Little League levels, I expect Knox to win a regional championship or two in the next few years. I was also impressed with how Knox battled last year.
My point was that South and North have experienced, big-game tested staffs. Harlan County will have four seniors who have pitched in quite a few big games. Cornett has won games in the district tournament the past two or three years and pitched real well at North late last year. Bailey has had several strong performances against good competition.
I didn't dismiss Knox or smirk. I just said I'd rate them below those three staffs at this point.
Why would you say Knox will never see Leisge? That sounds like you are writing them off as a team that wouldn't face an ace in a big tournament game.
