Rob, would you say Clearwater is the favorite here, they have beat all of these teams so far this spring?

I would have to agree to that seems how they beat the No. 2-seed Whippets so handily in late March and about two weeks ago handled No. 3 East Carter at home. The Tigers have certainly got two great starters to win a tournament like this in Austyn Hovis and Joel Koenig.

Really looking forward to the Wayne County battle with Greenville on Monday with Class 2 District 2 implications on the line.
Yeah, Austin and Joel are putting together a good season. Joel had a complete game shutout earlier this year where he got 15 strikeouts. The offense has been getting very timely hitting also, have some power in the line up too.
