Understandably the weather has kept things from getting off to a very fast start but here are a few details about what has happened so far.

Riverheads lost a one-run decision at Stuarts Draft back before the recent snowfall, but the Gladiators evened their record with an 11-1 shellacking of Stonewall yesterday. Stuarts Draft meanwhile traveled to Page one day and took a tight 1-0 win, but then lost at home to East Rock. I think I also read that somebody (Page maybe?) shut out Buffalo Gap. Don't recall seeing anything at all yet about either Wilson, Lee, or Luray, but I think RHS travels to Wilson this Thursday.

I don't think anything much can be gleaned from so few results with the possible exception that East Rock might be a team to keep a watch on. If I remember, last year was a crazy free-for-all in which anybody could beat anybody on a given day, and when all was said and done, a team that had finished something like 6th or 7th in the district (Stonewall) went all the way to the state championship game.

These are all just tidbits I have seen in one paper or another, so correct me if I have anything wrong. Haven't had time to check out the Shenandoah website in any detail. Last time I looked, they had not yet started to cover the spring sports, which is of course understandable since it is early. I personally always wait out March Madness and hold off on baseball until the weather warms up. Old age and all that jazz you know!

At the time I posted this, I had not yet read the H'burg paper for either Monday or Tuesday. I see that Page also knocked off East Rock 7-0 in a rare Saturday game. It looks like the weather is forcing teams to get in some of these missed games any time they can.

It certainly should be an interesting year. Page has to be considered the front runner with so many others battling for 2nd place. Page dropped a game to Stuarts Draft 1 - 0. Then the East Rock vs Page game was definitely one sided with ER leaving their bats at home. Finally East Rock went to Draft and defeated the Cougars 8 - 4 in a game that was 7 - 0 at one point.

Baseball in the Shenandoah will be competitive just about every night, no easy wins and you can't take a night off.
