Interesting article about Jackson in this morning's Times:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003017123_bishop25.html
I have watched this team six times this year. Obviously, they are the real deal. A state championship would be great for their school, their league, and the state. If they ended up the #1 ranked team in the nation, that would really put Washington baseball on the map.
But a part of me would like to see one of the three other teams remaining knock them off. A few days ago I read an article that talked about Kurtis Kasper of Kentwood that essentially described him as a gritty 5-foot-7, 140 lb pitcher with a lot of heart that mixes his pitches well. Wouldn't that be a classic David-Goliath scenario? Kasper sounds like just the kind of pitcher that could give Jackson trouble. Of course Auburn and Tahoma might have something to say about that.
