We’ve broke down the top 10-12 pretty in depth in the other thread.

So any thoughts on sleeper teams? The 15-20 range teams or unranked teams that might surprise.

I’ll say two I’ve seen are Indianola and Smithville that could wind up ranked 15-20 win a district and maybe a game in a regional.

These teams could makes some noise from what I have seen and heard. Tupelo, Webbers Falls, BV, Kremlin-Hilldale, Arnett.

Battiest played Indianola at McAlester a few weeks ago, it was pretty even and a parent said Battiest was missing 4 possible starters. They could be in that conversation for the 15-20 range if this is true. What does Leflore look like this year?

Leflore lost a lot I think. They have a lefty pitcher that throws pretty good if she can control it. Knowing what BV has they aren’t really a sleeper to me. Webber’s falls could upset someone at regionals if they have every one from last year. Their pitcher can keep them in games

They should have been top 8 last year but people didn't rank them where they should have been

Kremlin is usually always a sleeper, There was one season they was in that 6-7 range until around the final rankings and fell out of top 10, Arnett with that pitching could pull an upset even though pepperbrown doesn't seem to think so, Tupelo should be top 8 this year, They should have been last year but they wasn't, Said it once I'll say it again on Buffalo Valley, The pitching and hitting is good but that outfield according to others is suspect

You continually bring up the outfield at BV and the pitching at Webber’s. Have you seen either play ? I’ve watched them both play and haven’t seen any issues. Webber’s pitcher can hold her own. BV’s outfield hasn’t hurt them in any of the games I’ve seen at McAlester Complex.

First off I have seen Webber play several times, They are not that far away from me (Literally about 20 minutes up the road) My thing with Webber they are good but the thing is they never seem to be ranked where they should be, Yet last year they end up at Red Oak for regionals and lets be honest that was probably the best pitching anyone could have went up against, Second I have seen a little bit on Buffalo Valley and I know others that have brought up the outfield, I'm sure if there is issues with that outfield that coaching staff will sort it out by the start of regular season, At the end of the day all this is just small talk and opinion just like everything else, Whether it be just a casual fan, armchair qb or even a writer
