[Hit and Run]

HC brings back a lot and will have a great team. That being said, I still don't see them beating Middlesboro. Middlesboro has a great offense coming back and returns the top coach in the region who will have his pitchers ready to go again.

Don't forget they return Michael Wilson, a sophomore lefty, who last year, threw a two-hitter against Clay County at Clay. He will be one of the top pitchers in the region this year.

A 2 hitter? What are you on man? Clay beat them 6-2 if I remember correctly. Clay scored 22 runs in 2 games aganist M-Boro, and M-Boro lost their top two pitchers. Wilson kept them off balance early because he can't break glass, but once they seen it and got more patient in the box they rocked him. The lights are a non factor. It's a done deal, they might not be up by April 1st, but it's already cleared and they'll be up before the regional tournament. M-Boro is as good as Epperson will allow them to be. If he worked on his stuff on the hill, and hits it as good as he did last year they will be competitive. If not, it'll be a long year for the Jackets!
