Now, the final 16 teams are set for play in the OHSAA D4 Regional which will be played this week at the 4 different venues.
My picks:
Kent Region:#4 Dalton over #6 Warren JFK, but could be closer than some believe!
Steubenville over Windham
#4 Dalton over Steubenville, you just can't bet against Dalton
Findlay Region:#9 Antwerp over Patrick Henry, tight one...2-1
#1 Convoy Crestview over New Riegel...spoiler to be???
#1 Convoy Crestview over #9 Antwerp
Pickerington Region: Ashland Crestview over Clay...pitcher's duel here!
#13 Danville over Symmes Valley
Ashland Crestview over #13 Danville
Huber Heights Region:#3 Ansonia over #11 Triad
#5 Rockford Parkway over Newton
#5 Rockford Parkway over #3 Ansonia
D4 State Final Four
#1 Convoy Crestview over Ashland Crestview
#4 Dalton over #5 Rockford Parkway
Rematch from 2006 State Title game and 2007 Semi-final game: Convoy Crestview vs Dalton-----Can't pick a winner. The past two times I've been wrong. I guess Dalton takes it...Akron-bound Arney will keep the batters from Crestview off balance just enough to get the victory.
Coach of the Year in D4: Floyd Jenkins, Ansonia
D4 Player of the Year: Melissa Eickholt, Convoy Crestview
Other First Team All-State Selections in my opinion (this is just a short list): Melissa Eickholt, Convoy Crestview/Andrea Arney, Dalton /Brynn Schlatter, Antwerp /Pico, Warren JFK /Lydia Etzler, Convoy Crestview /Emily Bowling, Symmes Valley /Chelsie Brooks, North Lewisburg Triad /Alyssa See, Ashland Crestview
Surprise Team of the Year: Ashland Crestview
Upset of the Year:Steubenville Catholic defeats Strasburg Franklin in Districts!
Most Consistent Team of the Year: Convoy Crestview
Biggest Impact Freshman:Emily Crowell, Rockford Parkway

What did you base your decisions on when it came to your picks in all state. At least one of the players listed is good on the offensive side and only decent on the defensive side of the field. The girl has had several missed attempts at fielding fly balls and picking the ball up off the ground. The girl can hit the heck out of the ball when she is on. All State players should be very good on both sides of the ball.
Not sure which one you are referring to...but my guess is Bowling...while I do agree in some regards. She is widely respected amongst other coaches and they all have been impressed with her hitting. She was 1st team just a season ago.
The only other one you may be referring to is Triad's Brooks...so not sure which one you are referring to. My guess is also maybe Etzler from Convoy Crestview. Her hitting is too good to leave her off. We see pitchers get 1st teams nods all the time and they are one dimensional(and some don't even hit). So it is possible to get a 1st team all-state selection and only be dominant on one side of the field...
hope that helps.
