2019 SOC 1

[Flyer Fan 2019]

Dont get the St Joe playing little league teams. With only 24 girls in the entire school we still continue to field competitive teams every year, we schedule South Point. Fairland. Manchester as well as whatever league teams that can fit us in. if uoure referring to playing Grace Christian they have a sophmore pitcher who would probably only rate behind Oliver and Schaffer in the SOC 1. While our numbers are not like some of the others we have several solid players including Malone who has played travel with Oliver the last 4 years and is solid at 3 positions and Holtzapfel is a solid left handed bat these are a good bunch of kids very well disciplined who battle every night who I dont believe deserve that criticism

There are some very quality players on the Flyers for sure. Ranking them just behind Oliver and Schaffer might be a stretch though.
Unfortunately until St Joe has to play the Clays and Notre Dames out there like every other SOC1 school instead of hand picking what weaker teams to play,
the criticism will probaly stay.

Never said their pitching was behind those two was talking about the girl from a grace Christian. As far as hand picking games after talking with their AD they pretty much take what they can get without the benefit of a league. I know they played Notre Dame 2 of the last 3 years on the sectionals and were very competitive. Clay and Notre Dame have very good programs and it makes no sense for them to schedule St Joe non conference with the way the bottom two thirds of the SOC 1 are pretty much guaranteed wins for them I'm sure their coaches prefer to play teams that will push them more. Not trying to push buttons just trying to get these kids some well deserved respect

Oh I understand ya trust me. Few other schools outside of Clay and Notre Dame in the in the SOC1 get any props. This is an SOC1 post and a good part of it was still about Burg lol

When other teams start winning or at least having a winning record then they will get the props by the general public. The only other team in SOC1 who has been successful over the years is SV so they would have a reason to complain. As to the St. Joe poster defending his school, there are other schools who love to schedule weaker teams like Sciotoville East so they can just get wins against a possible winless team for guarantee wins. St. Joe as long as you know you are scheduling quality teams, it doesn't matter what onlookers think. You know you are making them better and not just trying to put one in the win column, because you need to beat weaker teams. Being competitive with ND in sectionals the last few years just proves both of our points. Other SOC1 teams get mercy ruled by ND and Clay every time they play.

Who is playing tomorrow and where to open the season in SOC1?

Hrmm St. Joe fan. Care to share the flyers 2018 schedule and this years also? We would love to see all these quality teams StateTheFacts says are scheduled.

I believe they took Green to the wire in 2018 in the first tournament game only losing 10-9. I believe St. Joe is trying to build a program because I hear they only have around 20 in the whole HS. With those types of numbers, the coach can't afford to run off anyone who wants to play on the team nor play favorites that run off any experienced players.

Symmes Valley 3-0(1-0)
Clay 2-0(1-0)
Notre Dame 1-0(1-0)
Green 1-2(1-0)
New Boston 1-1(0-1)
Eastern 0-4(0-1)
Western 0-2(0-1)
East 0-2(0-2)

Early on,as most expected,Clay(2-0) and ND(1-0)are very good and will probably be up front all season. SV(3-0) looks to be a player for league title race as well.Very impressed with the Vikings start.Green is solid with a win over NB already,also played Piketon tough. NB has a W over St.Joe. Eastern(0-4)has had a rough start with losing starting pitcher Lester to knee surgery,she's also a big bat In middle of lineup there missing Dixon also out with foot injury and the flu bug hit the team this week as well, Southworth has missed 2 games (flu)which is also a big bat out of lineup.tough start for the Eagles. East and Western both very young and will take there lumps but both have young talent to build on.

[ColdHardTruth]

Kinda what would you expect from the Top 3. Speaks volumes to quality of the programs Clay, ND and SV have.
Green is surprising with 45+ his 5 through their first 3 games. Also doing it missing their Sr pitcher and freshmen shortstop. I do expect their hitting numbers to drop as they face better pitching.
Eastern is hurting without their pitcher and she's a great bat. Southworth being out has to of hurt them too. They will rebound as the season continues.

[ManitouDan2]

IMO there a 1A and and a 1B and the rest can be lumped together. There's a top 2 , JMHO .

[FanofSOC52]

We all know the top 3 in the league is Clay, ND, and SV. The rest will just beat up on each other and maybe one will be above .500 by the end of the season. Good luck to everyone.

Clay's first test will be tomorrow against Fairfield Union and Marietta in a double header. Don't know much about Marietta but Fairfield Union made it to state last year in Division 2 and lost to leGrange Keystone in State Semis 1-0. Keystone went on to win the state championship.
