His defense was extremely impressive. The diving catch and jump throw to second while moving backwards aren't plays you see from many HS players, who often times look sketchy way too often just fielding grounders lol.
This series is making me do something I've never done and that's give props to the Grayson rams. I hope the players and coaches take it to heart. You did it the right way which is very uncommon in that area and made it to the championship. No PG 8,9,&10 transfers. You guys played with who you had and made it to the championship. Always keep that in mind. You don't have to transfer anywhere to win and it feels so much better when you do it right and go through the fire with your boys you grew up with. You guys should be proud.
As a Grayson Rams fan, I’m Super Proud of those Young Dudes!! Just a bunch of dudes playing hard against a Lowndes team that was stacked!! One must give props to the Two-Time State Champions Lowndes Vikings for getting it done ✔️!! Once again, much Respect to my Grayson Rams for getting to the Finals!!
This happened my senior year. We had 11 seniors and we knew each other since we was in elementary. We had a losing record our freshman year but about 6-7 of us were already starting. By our senior year, we were a force. Beat the team who had won it 5 out of the previous 6 years in the semi finals and then smoked the next team in the state championship. Definitely was special to all of us. This was in 2012 but we still enjoy talking about it when we all get together.
The guy in left needs to sit out for the rest of this series holyyyy😂 4 strikeouts, ball over his head and then pouts about it after yyeeeeeiiiikeeeerrrsss
First time watching high school baseball highlights - both teams played clean, pro-style games. wow. very impressed with some of the players and the teams as a whole.
These videos are great. Lot of pressure and passion from GA HS baseball fans. In SC, for state championships, we play best of 3 series with one game at each team's homefield and if a 3rd game is necessary, at a neutral site. The facility GA (Stripers in Gwinnett??) plays at looks amazing but I wonder if there is anything lost for teams that maybe have "shorter fields" and scored a lot of runs on HRs that doesn't translate to this park??? It reminds me of watching college teams play in Omaha with the fences way back.
Any balk gurus out there, the one in the top of the 10th, question. He came set, not for very long, but it was there. Or did he call it for the additional front foot steps and movement before coming set?
@@jacobbrouillette4307 Didn't come set. His entire team and coaches told him the previous pitch to make sure he paused, and then he blew through that one worse than the previous.
it was pretty obvious. they should have honestly called it a couple pitches earlier. this one was slightly worse. Lowndes didn't argue it or complain at all.
@@kevindavis8137 he doesn't step off before the throw. he steps off as he throws. it's a jump move, not a prior disengagement where he's free to do whatever he wants.
@@trelyday9512right...didn't say he didn't. but i said he didn't *prior to beginning the throw, and so with no step towards first with that kind of move (think jump spin), it's a balk.
@@Emeljay518 i dunno what to say my guy except you might be due for an eye check up. that pitch was never at shins, even when it was caught, so for you to comment like this ump had a bad game because he called a pitch right down the middle above the knee a strike...just a bad look.
definitely didn't come set. i was there and was surprised they didn't call it the pitch before. his coach and catcher both saw the same and told him to come set, and then the one they called was definitely worse.
I will die on the hill of: Pitchers that wear eye black should lose every game they ever throw. Either put it on when you come out or don’t wear it at all.
@@Toast2005 it’s basically just based on the schools enrolllment. Schools with more students are placed in higher classes (such as 7a) and schools with less students go in lower classes (such as 1a). I think some things may be different based on public vs private schools but that’s about it.
@@auzmo100% a balk. If you don't step off first, your front foot actually has to step towards first. Looked like it didn't move at all and definitely didn't go towards first.
@@Rwl751 he did step off. Stepped off with back foot first or at worst simultaneous. HP ump was just being overzealous. Thats why no other umps on the field called it.
I thought so too at first (ball def beat him by a mile), but after slowing it down to .25 speed, it looks like the tag was high and didn't get him until his neck at which point his hand looks to be on or extremely close to on the bag (white batting glove makes it hard to tell). Too hard to tell, but definitely about as close of a play as you will see.
A lot of people are in the wrong here. 3rd baseman didn't help himself with his hesitation on the tag. 3rd base coach was way out of his box and shouldn't have been nearly as close as he was during the play. 3rd base umpire had the best look and the call is the call - agree or disagree with it, at least he owned it. Great hustle by the runner to get in there though - that's a kid trying to win a game.
damn. Lowndes is so unlikeable. Grayson has a much smaller, younger, underdog-like team while every Lowndes kid is a D1 commit. Also doesn't help they got shafted by the umps for most of the game. Great game, wish Grayson pulled it out.
The bleacher hair too 😂. But yeah Grayson are the real winners here. Literally everyone except their catcher was built like a highschool. Where as the Lowndes guys already look like they belong in their 2nd year of college
@@Toast2005Our guys take the gym seriously. We have a former military trainer as the schools strength coach and a lot of them have another personal trainer that they work out with after practice and in the summer time. Also a handful of our players also play football.
but he didn't. they should have called it a couple pitches before when they did. catcher and coach both told the kid to make sure he came set after that one. that's why there wasn't a single argument or disagreement with the call from Lowndes.
@@rpx_itzkravzy2163 true just saying 6 out of 8 last years Loganville State Champions that's insane and runner ups the 2 years they didn't win it all that's not been done before oh Brookwood did make the final four that's even better Loganville did beat one of these 2 teams this year just sayig...

Yes he came prepared.

Feel bad for that kid missing the catch to end the game. That was one of those "please don't hit it to me" moments...
Yep. That's tough.
There was only 1 out…
if you dont want the ball hit to you in those moments you're not destined for greatness
Regardless the ending, that shortstop and center field on Grayson are TOP TIER plus them boys young

That SS is nasty
Awe! So happy for them. My heart goes out to that outfielder.
Aye the CF fielder For Grayson and that SS , ballers . Sheesh . Great content as usual 💯
The glory of victory and the agony of defeat. It prepares us for life.
Can’t wait to see this channel blow up. Great videos.
#9 with a hell of an at bat for Lowndes in the bottom of the 7th
I thought he was abt to ground into DP, then they walked it off 😅
Ump at 27:11 made one hell of a call. I think he got it right too.
I slowed it down a few times. I think the 3b had the tag on a split second before runner touched the base. bang bang call though
Leave it up to our Vikings to put on a show. Our first off day of the playoffs but we pulled it through. Burn the ships!!!🔥
Pissed that 3rd baseman walked it off, such a complainer. Great fuckin game though!!
my exact thoughts
Screaming every pitch is crazy
SS for the rams can pick it!! Good game for both teams. And as always.. don’t walk the leadoff hitter, never ends up well for you
Rams SS made some huge plays. GG son.
Wish Michigan did this for our playoffs unfortunately we are a one and done state. Too bad this format would really prove who is the best.
Any balk gurus out there, the one in the top of the 10th, question. He came set, not for very long, but it was there. Or did he call it for the additional front foot steps and movement before coming set?
It was the fact he came set then relifted his arms again
@@anthonynorton-21 Negative. I don't agree with the call, but the only thing the umpire could've called was that he didn't come set long enough.
@@jacobbrouillette4307 Didn't come set. His entire team and coaches told him the previous pitch to make sure he paused, and then he blew through that one worse than the previous.
it was a balk
Balk also because of the shoulders too. He didn’t fully set and his deep breath moved his shoulders as well which is also a balk
who are those 4 kids yelling at the left fielder that’s unacceptable
I love your vids, you ever think about doing softball playoffs?
That was amazing
great vid
27:10 if you slow-Mo it (0.25x) the Viking 3rd baseman miss him
That as for Grayson is nice !
A lot of talent passion desire makes for BASEBALL OH YA
Two things….. something in the water in Valdosta given them boys blonde hair. And second, man I miss baseball.
I couldn’t find it in my heart to call balk that situation. Unless it’s super obvious. Too tight of a game for that.
It was so obvious, he came set and moved his shoulders
it was pretty obvious. they should have honestly called it a couple pitches earlier. this one was slightly worse. Lowndes didn't argue it or complain at all.
Wat a game man
The best play
The center fielder for Lowndes doesn’t hit? He gets DH for? I don’t remember seeing him hit. Unless I’m tripping. What’s his jersey number?
He's hitting that's him hitting at the 5:00 mark.
Jordan Hudson. #1
Are we ever gonna get the rest of the series for the state championship
when baserunning wins the ball game
Did the run in the bottom of the 7th miss the plate?
Ump had a dang tight strikezone when Lowndes was batting but calling some questionable strikes when they were in the field
3:17 did he not step off???
Didn't step off before throwing and then didn't step towards 1st
Wondering the same, I've watched it 10 times and I don't see a balk. He definitely steps off before the throw
@@kevindavis8137 he doesn't step off before the throw. he steps off as he throws. it's a jump move, not a prior disengagement where he's free to do whatever he wants.
why the pitcher constantly taking his hat off? doesnt wanna ruin his hair or what? lmao
Not sure why the umpire called a balk in the first inning because it wasn’t a balk
can't throw to first without stepping unless you disengage prior. easy balk.
@@Rwl751 He did step off though
@@trelyday9512right...didn't say he didn't. but i said he didn't *prior to beginning the throw, and so with no step towards first with that kind of move (think jump spin), it's a balk.
I was like they are in trouble ump call the second pitch a strike it's going to be a long day
you don't like pitches right down the middle at the top of the knee?
@@Rwl751 nah that was ankle high
@@Emeljay518 you know it's where the pitch crosses the plate...right? not where the catcher catches it? 😂😂
@@Rwl751 duh and you saw what you saw and I saw what I saw end of discussion.

28:50 did he not come set? Someone help me out. Or did he need a longer pause
My guess is home plate umpire thought he Didn’t come set
definitely didn't come set. i was there and was surprised they didn't call it the pitch before. his coach and catcher both saw the same and told him to come set, and then the one they called was definitely worse.
@@Rwl751 ahh I gotcha appreciate it my guy
Is Grayson typically strong in baseball?
No they are known for recruiting players for football and breaking transfer rules.
That terrible call at 27:12 almost determined the outcome of the game.
He missed the tag
@@roblobster10 ...Nope
I will die on the hill of: Pitchers that wear eye black should lose every game they ever throw. Either put it on when you come out or don’t wear it at all.
#5 for Lowndes has an attitude problem
No he just plays with intensity and wants to win! He’s a real good person and friend off the field!!
Damn bro got kicked out of his office
Whoever was blowing that whistle when the batter was delivered a pitch should be tossed from the game. That's a bush league tactic.
Whistle? That’s some psychotic fan girl.
What about game 2 of the 5a?
Can you explain what 7A and 5A means to me? I'm not American and obviously didn't go to school in the US

Looked like he started the throw before stepping off. I dunno
Yeah I agree. Bad call.
@@auzmo100% a balk. If you don't step off first, your front foot actually has to step towards first. Looked like it didn't move at all and definitely didn't go towards first.
