Nice compact swing that really gets the bat head through the zone.

I also updated about three months of information on the "Top TN Players" site for the players. I still have a long way to go, but the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 has been updated. Started the 2008 list, but it will be awhile before it will be posted.

HiwasseeVol...where can I find this list?

GMom,
I'm afraid I followed Bob's lead when he turned this site over to MN-Mom after his great contribution to us for many years. Not long after I decided to retire from collecting and posting information on high school baseball talent in Tennessee. My site was nothing even close to HSBBWeb, but did grow to a very time consuming hobby. I gave it six years, enjoyed it immensely, met and corresponded with some great parents, players and coaches, but like Bob said, it was time.

Maybe some day someone will do something similar. You finding this thread sure brought back some nice memories.

If you have a baseball playing son, I wish you and him the best. Enjoy every minute!!!!!
