Ok guys, lets keep it clean. Please, no namecalling in a negative way. If you must list specific players, lets keep it positive. But every since these schools realigned into different conferences a couple years ago, theres been an ongoing debate on which 3A conference is stronger. Lets talk about this year's high school baseball teams, give your arguments and reasons.
I will start things off. Of course, I'm a NPC supporter but this has nothing to do with my reason. I simply feel the NPC is much stronger than the SPC and I could go on and on with my reasons. But I will simply say this: Piedmont is the "only" SPC team that would have any hope of competing on a daily basis in the NPC. JMRobinson (SPC) may could give NPC teams a good game and maybe win occasionally, but they could not compete day-to-day enough to contend. With the NPC, right now West Rowan, Northwest Cabarrus, East Rowan (of course ER even on a down year) and Mooresville "ALL" seem to be playing baseball at a very high level. Lake Norman beat Kannapolis, but Kannapolis has defeated "3" (countem 3) different 4A teams. Also, North Iredell gave West Rowan "ALL WR WANTED" before losing only 4-2. Simply put, theres just not many (if any) "breathers" in the NPC this season. One last thing, several teams (WR, NW, Mville, LNor, East) have all proven that they "DO" have strong pitching, which is what it takes to get you far in the playoffs.
And btw, when I said that Piedmont could contend, I didn't say they could win the NPC, I said they would only contend. In fact, my guess is that they would finish no higher than 3rd, maybe 4th.
In comparison with the NPC, the SPC simply looks like they are playing on a lower level. I don't mean to kick anyone when they are down. Someone from the SPC please prove me wrong. I would love to hear some names or good baseball news about the SPC, if there "is any"...
