Ingredients for champions

Any conversation about South Rowan's offense has to start with 2b Daniel Wagner (Belmont University). Hes recorded a hit in every game hes playin in and is batting nearly .500 w/ 9 hrs (5 in the playoffs) and around 50 rbis.

Is this the first time that South Rowan has ever made it as far as the 3rd round of the legion playoffs? I know they went a couple rounds a few years ago, but there's been so much talk this summer about this being one of South's best teams ever and they've won more games than any previous South team, etc.,,,,,,,,,,, is the 3rd round unchartered waters for them?

I've followed Legion ball for 7 years, & I'm pretty sure this is SR's best run.

I watched them twice this season, & they're interesting. You feel as though they're the underdog hanging by a thread...and then they beat you. Fundamentally sound. Good speed. Pitchers not dominating but effective.

Best compliment: they play as a team. They have the chemistry thing going.

They also do the "little things" well that add up over the course of a ballgame, specifically sacrifice bunting and advancing runners.

Randolph will definitely be a tough test for them

[wossa]

Randolph County has been crushing the ball at the plate. I think they have won 15-16 in a row as well.

in saturdays salisbury post, it said that south reached the area semis in 2001 and 2003 before losing to Asheboro in '01 and Kannapolis in '03

LegionGuy,,,, one of the board members from South Rowan told me that this is the first year they've ever won more than 18 ballgames, they've now won 24 and counting,,,,,,,, I remember their 2003-2004 teams, and they were pretty good,,,,,,,, but in my opinion this year's South team is playing better, smarter and more together than any South team I've ever seen. Just my 2 cents.

[legionguy17]

South finishes the year 26-14 and one out short of a berth in the state tournament. Without a doubt the best year in South history but the season ended in probably the worst possible way.

[tj21]

They had a great year, no doubt. Nothing to hang their heads about.
