I think that Hatton won in 1996, but they didn't go to the Midwest Regional. That team was stacked by the way. They had one lefty that threw it 92 and other that threw about 85 and a couple of righties that threw it over 82. Cory Pladson hit something like 30 homeruns that summer and drove in 80 runs while Randy Cranston hit another 20 bombs. That team may have been from 1997, I guess. I just can't remember. Why aren't those guys getting any love? They would have killed the Thompson team from 2005. Do you honestly think that Zach Kvidt could even get the bat around on a 92 MPH pitch?

As for the Thompson team of 1999, they were extremely good! But honestly, in 1997 Hope-Page, Central Valley, and Hatton all had teams that could have beaten the 1999 Thompson team.

Chris Plante Fan wrote:I was wrong with the 92 MPH, but he was clocked at 88. As for the homeruns, he actually did hit 30 his last summer of Legion ball. The other pitcher that threw gas wasn't Maus, because he didn't even pitch that well, but Jonny Thompson.
Chris Plante Fan wrote:I just think that it's amazing that there were so many guys who threw over , say, 83 in the mid- to late nineties, you know? Last year in the same Region that we've been talking about, there was maybe one guy who threw over 80, and he hardly ever pitched. Jacob Wurtz was probably to only guy who threw over 80 and he was very hittable. It's just not the same anymore.

Never heard of that Hatton team so sorry I can't give any love to that team. You are right the 2005 Thompson team probably couldn't beat them (if they are as good as you say). But the Thompson team of i believe 99' would give anybody a run for there money. And of course I'm bias when I say Cavalier but when you win three straight state championships you gotta be talented all around with good depth.

When I think Thompson and pitching it was Mcmenemy and then wasn't there a couple Schumachers??? I can't think of there first names but they were darn good too.
