BuckNut Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I went and watched vs Gilmer my nephew plays for Gilmer. He caught a couple of passes but didn’t score ,he got hurt during the game. I know PG didn’t score vs Gilmer they did put him at RB on 4th and 1 on goal line and Gilmer stuffed him. He was really all they had in their 8th grade.

Sportsguru02 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think he needs to go baseball, not to many kids throwing like he is at 14. He will definitely have his picks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darktower Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 he has a lot of tools in baseball but also lot of holes--struggles with strike zone right now and no where close to 88. he does have a ton of ability and control will come as he goes along. Can hit hit the ball a long way but still has lot of holes in his swing as well... Havent seen him play football but he is impressive on baseball field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regaleagle Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Bottom line is things are not looking very promising for any of us for a bright future the way the world is headed. It's a shame, but that's the reality of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon now Hawk20 At 14, I assume he is still pitching from the mound about 6 feet up from the 60 feet 6 inches that high school and up pitch from............If indeed he is still pitching from the shorter mound, with his height, I bet even if he is only throwing 80 MPH it gets to the plate in a hurry.

darktower Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 games I umpired that he was playing in was 60/90... He hit an absolute missile out of park one at bat and had couple more solid hits --dead pull so he had some holes on outer half...Really struggled with control on mound but had big time arm. played very solid first base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
