BR vs OA

[cayugamom27]

Congratulations to BR on a very tough game. I truly believe that is as close to a state title game as Boliver will see. Each team played perfect defense the entire game with the bottom of Bolivers order coming up big at the plate. As heartbreaking as it is seeing my team lose it was one of the best games I have seen my girls play. Once again BR congrates & to all my OA girls Thanks for a wonderful year

I know it was 1-0, how'd BR score?

Triple to deep right field scoring a runner.

Very classy post and thanks again to the ladies for an outstanding season, defending their Sectional title. Bolivar-Richburg will definitely get to states, they face Gananda next, and they are the most overrated team in all of Section V, in any class.

Oakfield sports are having trouble beating teams with 2 initials...


Football lost to ER and BK
Soccer lost to WC and BB
Basketball's only 3 losses were to CM, ND, and ER
Baseball lost to CM

These statements don't make much sense....didnt OA get no hit? I got to believe that BR will give up some hits the rest of the way.

Getting no hit can not possibly be one of the best games you have seen them play!! Especially having a great season like they had

B-R had many hits in the game and got held to 1 run. That was probably the best defense they have ever played in any single game.

[straightup]

Are you saying BR played great defense or are you saying O-A played great defense because BR has faced many teams this year that played better defense then O-A????

[GRBball2008]

I believe he is saying that OA played great defense. Holding a team to 1 run is good defense in my book.

[bcherry8]

Especially when facing a great team like BR and especially when they had as many hits/chances to score as they did.

[St.LouisBlues]

How many hits did BR have in the game?

[Pinnum]

Bolivar-Richburg 000 100 0 — 1 8 0
Oakfield-Alabama 000 000 0 — 0 0 0
Jordan Ingalls (WP) (13K, 2BB) and Aimee Sisson
Mary Bostwick (LP) (7K, 3BB) and Danielle Sage

[thelastbs]

What happened to all the talk of how great OA is and how much better they are than BR. How Mary's travel team beat Jordans old travel team. Mary is than Jordan. BR showed what level they played in. And by the way Jordan didn't have many no hitters this year many teams got 3 or more hits off of her. Warsaw had 6 hits and only had around 7 k's in the previous game. I went to the game to see Mary pitch and Dani Sage bat. OA was very lucky it was only 1-0.

I think what OA did was great get as far as they did. Bat as you can see if you don't have more than a pitcher you can't go much farther. But they are a young team except for Mary. And she did her best to keep them in the game. It's just a few fans who love to beat their chest and say look at us way before its time.

[bcherry8]

So when does BR get to crush Gananda?

I'm not sure it was luck the game was 1-0. OA came up with some big defensive plays. The short stop getting Ingalls line drive when the bases where loaded. Did you see the great catch our second baseman made? Yes your right we didn't hit the ball, as far as that goes Ingalls did throw our girls off with her yell she lets out every time she pitches. That was the first pitcher they seen this year that did that. Both teams played great defense neither one committing an error that is why the score was 1-0.

Was it worse than Claire Bennett's yelling in the sectional final game?

[FALLBALL]

Could someone tell me why in the Batavia paper they listed Oakfield as having a hit and you are saying that they were no-hit.

[straightup]

Doesn't matter what the Batavia paper reported. Anyone who was there knows that O-A only had 2 runners and both were walks.

Yeah I saw that hit. the one that was right to the SS not a GREAT play. A play that is supposed to be made. And when your pitcher gives up 8 hits along with 3 Walks for a total of 11 baserunners you have to have a little luck to only give up 1 run. In many games more runs are scored than hits are given up. That is why mistakes are what can hurt you and win games for the other teams. So yeah OA was very lucky they only lost 1-0.
OK OA didn't make any errors but they shouldn't have. They just made the plays they were suppose to make. Don't try to make seem like their defense saved the day because it didn't. Why is that when they do what they are suppose to do it is something great. They just did what all teams practise for. Not making a mistake to lose the game. It happens in many games all year long. Also the second baseman made a good play no doubt but she made it there in plenty of time not like it was some kind of diving catch. Now the catch the BR rightfielder made against Warsaw for the final out of the game. That was a great catch a the best time.

Wow you really have an issue with OA huh?! If Warsaw makes the play it amazing if OA makes the play its routine. I'm a little confused about your second baseman comments??? But ya Lindsay Chatt ( 10 th grader) no errors all season made a great play! So Lastbs i say both OA & Warsaw congratulates BR & wish them luck in states & next year we play each other! I would love it how about you???? One blog you give Mary credit for doing the best she could keeping her team in the game then you blame her for giving up 8 hits & 3 walks???? So tell me does OA suck alll together or is Mary the only reason we made it as far as we did??? Please tell me!!! I know you know it all because you beat BR last year & your team has like 857 years of Varsity experience & OA is strong because of Mary ALONE.

[bcherry8]

Are you related to that mother of that cheerleader from Texas?
My IQ just dropped about 5 points after reading your post

No I don't have an issue with OA I have one with people who talk trash with nothing to back it up. If you ever played the game that catch at second was a good play not great. What does having made no errors all year got to do with that game. Nothing! I have congratulated BR Before and after they beat Warsaw many times in person. Including Bob Ingalls and Tom Wight and have told them that they run a class orginization. Not just this year but in past years as well. How about You! Mary did keep OA in the game but don't take away what BR did to her. They were lucky that BR only scored 1 run if you cant see that you are fooling yourself. I certianly don't know it all but I guess I see clearer than you. Against the teams you played earlier your girls did contribute. But BR is a team at a higher level and they were out classed. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. OA isnt the only one but you take offense that they are one of them. There is no disgrace in being one of many that fall to BR this year. But don't try make it out that you and BR are on the same level because your not. I will be the first to tell you that Warsaw played well below what they should have this year. They won last year and had every starter return. To me that falls on coaching. With those credits only getting to states would be a good year. And they failed. BR did what they had to do to get back there. GO BR WIN IT ALL!!!!!!
Yes Cayuga Mom You did see that when ONLY Mary did anything of Value they Lost? bottom line she got no help from her team. Even the homerun hitting Dani Sage was held Hitless. I was proving a point to you and Cherry that you 2 try to make out that OA is so great for doing what is expected of every team. When it came down to playing a class team. Mary had no help. I also said that they had a great year and should be proud of themselves. We will see how far they go next year. I also think that Warsaw is a much better overall team than OA but I knew that they would lose to BR also. Not because I didn't want them to win but because I'm not blinded by being a homer who spouts out we are the best without any grounds to back it up. I would have loved to have Warsaw Play OA. They were on my list of teams to play this year and last because of their quality of play. But we will never know will we. OA loses Mary and Warsaw will lose 4 Key players next Year. Kelly Spear will be in a similar situation to what Mary was in this year. Where she will have to carry the team more than she has since she became the starting pitcher in her 8th grade season. Also it wasn't a play Warsaw made it was a play BR made read my comments before you type.

[boobiemiles]

But BR is a team at a higher level and they were out classed. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

now, when you say that, do you mean that BR has more class than OA? Or do you mean BR is a class above OA as far as talent and ability.

You see what i am asking... like by class do you mean

that Terrell Owens is out classed by Marvin Harrison...

Or the Dolphins are out classed by the Patriots (because the patriots are a level above the dolphins skill wise)

[St.LouisBlues]

Its too bad Warsaw and OA didnt play during the year. Is Warsaw's only losses from when they were in Florida?

[bcherry8]

No, they lost to Cal-Mum and Immaculata, two teams that OA beat

[cayugamom27]

Well there's always next year. It should be an easy win for Warsaw since OA is losing there only Quality Player.

The answer is the Dolphins are out classed by the Patriots (because the patriots are a level above the dolphins skill wise)[/QUOTE]
The OA Girls could be a higher class of people! I do not have any issue with them what so ever in their ability or personalities. Br is just a much more seasoned and skilled team. My issues are with people who can't live with reality and can't understand why everyone else dosn't agree with their perspective. I have a lot of opinions about players and teams that other people won't agree with so I don't spout out until I have facts not just my heart.

[thelastbs]

Cherry is correct Warsaw lost to both of those teams and I could come up with all kinds of excuses. But the bottom line is they got beat by better teams both times.

The only thing I will say is Warsaw returned all 9 starters and should have won those games. They were a better team last year. Which should have never happened. Bottom line when all 9 starters returned all 9 should have been better if not coaching is to blame.

How is it the coaching to blame for Warsaw's season. Do the coaches pitch, hit, field and run? Sometimes teams that return a lot of starters after a very successful season do not play their. They just think teams will let them win because they are sectional champs. Did you praise the coaches last year when they won? It's not always the coaches who are to blame. The players must be accountable for their play, like letting a pop up drop in the CM game that ended up costing them a big run. I know the coach should have caught it but. Maybe if the shortstop played out the whole play she would have realized that the wind was pushing the ball back to the infield and she would have made the play instead of letting it drop a few feet from where she was standing watching.
BR wins states one year and doesn't even win sectionals the next. Does that mean the coaches are to blame? Maybe they lost to a team that was better than them on that day.
Things happen from season to season. Stop letting the players off the hook by blaming the coaches.

You are right... Take a look at the team that won the C's this year:
2004- State Finalist
2005- Sectional Champs
2006- State Champs
2007- Sectional Finalist

After making the State finals BR lost in the regional qualifier (with all but two of the same players.)

After winning states BR lost in the sectionals (with all the same players from the year before.)

That is why I think you need to load up the schedule with some losses after a big year... you need to cut them back down so that they are motivated to do what needs to be done to win games.

BR graduated 7 or 8 Seniors in 2004. 2005 was the first full season for Courtney, Aimee, Cari, Amanda, and Angela They were freshman that year.

They won the section title but lost in a close crossover game. After that lost they won 51 straight before they lost to Webster Thomas.

I totally agree. Make your schedule strong. Play teams to play out of the section like Victor, AQ, and Schrader did. It is important for the players to realize that if they do not play their "A" game each and everyday the can lose. Put them under pressure like they will be feeling in playoffs.

Yes kids can be to blame by making errors in the field and not hitting the ball. But those games could have been won if they had someone who new how to coach. Last year they won inspite of the coaching not because of it. They were expected to win all their games. If coaching can't make a good team beat a great team think of the first Bills superbowl. Coaching won that and many other games So coach you can take the blame when everyone could see the Immuclatta coach out coaching you. In each of Warsaw's 3 Losses up here 3 things led to their losses Bad fielding, heads not in the game (coaching). Coaching sending runners into outs killing innings. And they still could have won every one of those games. And I know that if they played Cal/ Mum and Immaculatta 10 times each Warsaw would win the most Coach just because of skill coaching would have lost a couple of them.

Who's blinded thinking there team was better than they really were?? I'm not sure what would make you think Warsaw was a better team than OA when OA beat 2 quality teams that Warsaw lost to & won in a region that had 3 sectional champions as well as beat a team thats on their way to States for the third year in a row.
