Ferguson allowed one run to fargo south in the state tournament and steckler pitched a complete game 3 hitter with 1 unearned run against north last season. Both can pitch.

South's offense will struggle. I love those guys, but after i got by sholl and rude, there was really nothing that scared me in that lineup. It will be very interesting to see how little of offensive production they will need to win, because you are right, those are all solid pitchers (i haven't seen erickson yet).
I think West Fargo will be a top four team next season. Rheault and Schmidt had good years, but by no means did they, or the other seniors, carry that offensive lineup by themselves. If i'm correct they had some young guys step up and deliver late in the season. I think fiest in the only legitimate "ace" on their staff. If he can develop a changeup, and improve upon his breaking ball, i think he'll start to be talked about in the same sentences as rusch and larson next season.
BOTTOM LINE: It all depends on which team has the most players putting forth a lot of effort in the offseason.

How do you figure? North loses so much from last season since their seniors did basically everything. Shelton and Fiske will be solid and Larson will need to throw strikes but other than that from what I saw those sophmores on varsity this year did very little to indicate they will be productive next year. I really see them struggling early in the year do to lack of experience since I believe they lose something like 9 seniors off this year's squad who all contributed, but they will be there around tournament time ,and anythings possible as long as they have fiechtner (sp?) coaching.
What are you talking about?!! I pitched the game at North vs. Herian. We both pitched complete games with 0 ER and north won 2-1. Im pretty sure both line-ups were the best each team had to offer. And I dont see where north's offensive production will come from besides Shelton and Fiske.teddybear wrote:Number7 wrote:ttime262 wrote:there is no way that west fargo will finish highing than north does. north is a much better team.

Pitching alone makes them better than WF. Larson dominated towards the end of this year and along with Max Rusch from South he will easily be a top 2 pitcher in EDC, if not State. Anthony Schutz led the EDC in Saves which means he pitched in pressure situations in games that counted (unlike Steckler who thinks it's a big deal that he gave up one earned run against a JV lineup in a meaningless second game). Along with Schnabel I think North has 3 options better than anything WF has. I seem to recall alot of people on this thread saying similar things about North coming into this year (they lost Ebert, Kragness, Schockman and have nothing coming back) and they seemed to do ok this year. Keep telling yourself you will be better but it will be like every other year, WF looking up at North in the standings.
