Never heard of the outfielder you refer to and Woods, while I'm sure she must be a nice person really never was one of the top pitchers. Sorry but KHS always has been better than Menchville. The only years they were close was when Bookbinder was playing for them and KHS usually still beat them.

Menchville has had a better all around team the last couple years, not only when bookbinder was there. and For Woods this has nothing to do with her being a nice person or not. I am saying from what I have seen from her. She is a smart pitcher... You dont need 65 mph pitching to be a dominating pitcher. You have to be smart. Menchville has always had really good defense. Look at the teams now, they have over powering pitching, but what do they have behind them? If you hit the pitchers you are most likly going to get on base. Woods was confident in her defense, she didnt need over powering pitching. I am not sure how many times you have seen Kecoughtan or Menchville play but I played for Menchville for 4 years on Varsity, and I helped Coach for 2. Kecoughtan has had a really good team, and Katie is there center. She is a good pitcher. But overall the last 2 years Menchville has been a better all around team. Anyways, there is no need talkin about the past games, this year is knew. and menchville is in its rebuilding stages. and as for the outfielder she played at Warwick for a year or 2 before switching to Menchville.

Sassafrass, you said, "The only years they [Menchville] were close was when Bookbinder was playing for them and KHS usually still beat them."

Just to set the record straight, in 2005, Menchville swept KHS during the regular season, by scores of 7-1 and 16-0. In 2006 the teams split, Kecoughtan winning the first one 3-2, with Menchville winning the second, 7-0. They didn't meet in the postseason either of those two years. Their play in the postseason both years might mark them as two of Menchville's best teams ever. Bookbinder played for them both of those years, but the teams were solid from top to bottom, led of course by Kelsie's consistency on the mound.

My daughter graduated a couple years ago, but I still try to get to as many games as I can. Menchville has always had a strong team and if I can remember correctly has had a stronger team through the years than Kecoughtan. Menchville's defense has held the team together for the past several years. Woods was a good pitcher but wasn't in the same catagory as the other pitchers she was up against. Menchville didn't play well against Kecoughtan and gave up alot of unearned runs, but they will still be a strong this year. The person who posted saying Kecoughtan has always been better than Menchville really needs to check the stats on that one. Menchville has been one of the top teams in the Peninsula for the past few years, even going to Regionals a couple of those years. Kecoughtan has a good team this year, but I don't see them getting a win from Warwick or Gloucester this year. Alexander is a good pitcher, but no where close to the level of Atkins, Byrd or Coates.
