I'm willing to say that Oran, Cooter, Risco, Leopold, Naylor, Oak Ridge are all in the top 10 teams to state if this is really the numbe 1 team in state according to rankings.

Does anybody remember earlier in the year when I talked about how weak class 1 is?

Congrats to the Oran Eagles and Coach Wood! Go get 'em tomorrow!

Doesn't matter who you beat to do it. If you win a state title, it counts the same as every other. The record book doesn't care who you have to beat to do it. Congrats Oran. You're one game away.

That pitcher really settled in and to be honest Oran didn't really ever hit him hard.. it the 4 run first inning his defense made 3 undisputed errors and a 4th that was iffy.. but Chances loo good for Oran bc Moore is on the mound and he didn't look good at the plate so I like his chances of bouncing back and having a great game.

Sturgeon pulled a classic Oran move in that first inming.

Did Graf relieve Curry? Or are they saving him for tomorrow. He was throwing near 90 last year as a sophomore but I believe had tommy john surgery after the season. Believe he is back though.

Chad Tieman relieved Curry.

Hey, uncle chuckie. What's the problem giving Oran their props?
