How about Wall, Colts Neck & Freehold Boro ???

Well...if it were a Top 13 they'd probably be there.

Colts Neck would definitely be No. 11. The jump to A North and the loss of the two pitchers were a fctor here, but they have a very nice club and will certainly
have a chance to prove themselves and same for Wall and the Boro. The beauty of baseball is everyone usually gets a chance to play everyone else at least once..

And what three would you have bumped out??

F Twp. did a get a potential ace in the Colts Neck transfer John Whitley ..same for Freehold (Yuhas) BUT..just heard Freehold Nos.2 and 3 may be done for the year...

Midd North...may be on the cusp..yes, pitching is a question mark.

As for Point Boro..any team with a Pat Biserta and a returning eight-game winner (Chomiak), in my mind earns, a benfit of the doubt to begin with...

It'll all start to shake itself out this week and then probably re-shake itself (at least from 6-10) maybe all season.. Vianney another potential top 10 teams..

Colts Neck has some nice new pitching deveoping that should ease the loss of two of last years pitchers.

At least you got the top three right... I think Toms River East is too high. 4th in the Shore?there is chance that TRE may finish 4th in A-South this year. I haven't heard much about Middletown North, so I'm a bit surprised to see them up there. I believe that Boro should be higher. Toms River North should be in the top ten as well with all the experience they return this year.

Hey..thanks for giving me the top 3 correct!

Better than none I always say..!!!

TR East no higher than fourth in A South? Guess it could happen but I gotta see it to believe it.

I will admit I took a shot there with Middle N. I believe they have a very good lineup (Mager is a hitting machine)..we'll wait and see on the pitching.

Point Boro...I have addressed them earlier. Some don't think they should even be in the Top 10....makes life exciting.

I never said that Toms River East wouldn't finish higher than 4th in A-South. A-South is always tough to call, but both Toms River South and Toms River North bring back a wealth of talent and experience from last years squad. Brick Twp, Memorial and even Jackson are always sleepers and can beat anybody on any given day. In my opinion, unproven and inexperienced pitchers will hurt Toms River East's chances this year. They cant possibly outslug every team in the division.
Pt Boro will cruise to another B-South title... so if you put St. Rose that high, Boro is right there with them. Seriously, who wouldn't love to play teams like Keansburg, Keyport, Shore, Henry Hudson twice a year!!!
I dont know why wouldnt put TRN in the top 10 now. They were kind of Jackle and Hyde last year, but when they play good defense... they will tough to beat. I'm actually picking TRN to blowout TRS opening day on April 2nd. From what I heard, TRS has not had a good preseason.

If TRN beats TR South it would not be a shock. If they blow out TR South I would be surprised.

how do you think monmouth regional will do this season?

Golden Falcons an upper echelon Class B North club..should qualify for the SCT and the states ...need Conte or Connors to develop into a major force .....first time in a few years no Cantwell or Wyra types....well, not yet.

At the plate DeAngelis could have a nice year.


In my opinion Teddy J always does an excellent job.. squeezes the most out of his teams...

how do you think RBC will be this year? even though they lost big bats like Kalish and Geran, i hear they got all pitchers back.

Re: Colts Neck - good to hear. As I said, No. 11 this week!!!..and in A North they'll have the opportunity to make lots of noise. Who is playing well for them?

RBC: I have them No. 7 in the Shore to start. Good to dominant staff with Menna (7-1) and Yaccarine (3-2). I counted four .300 plus hitters back. Should be tested by SJ Vianney Monday.

Colts Neck has been a total team effort, bats working well & pitching of a couple of Juniors has proven to be a boost in an 8-6 win over Colorado an I believe an 18-8 final over Illinois. This game was 14-1 Colts Neck in the 6th before making some personnel changes. It early but they look like they can play.
