Today, we are going to introduce a new piece of content called the “Daily Round Up”. Here we will take a look at the games our scouts went to from the previous day and highlight key moments, standout players and our takeaways from the game.

Tuesday 

North Hall @ Pickens

Score: Pickens win, 5-3

Standouts:

Everett Grubbs, RHP/3B, Pickens, 2027


Boogie Lowit, 1B, Pickens, 2027


Kam Jenkins, C, Pickens, 2026


Jennings Allen, SS, Pickens, 2027


Truitt Grubbs, OF, Pickens, 2028


Branson Crawford, C/RHP, North Hall, 2026

Key moments: Branson Crawford led off the game and jumped on the first pitch he saw for a no-doubt lead-off home run putting the Trojans up early. Pickens answered back in the 2nd inning as Truitt Grubbs got the bats rolling followed by a huge double from Brock Teal along with an 2 RBI base-hit from Kam Jenkins and an RBI single from Boogie Lowit. As the Dragons led the Trojans 5-1 after 2-innings. Crawford added another RBI hit as the Trojans scratched across 2-runs in the 3rd and cut the deficit to 5-3. The backend of the Dragons bullpen held the Trojans in check resulting in a final of 5-3.

Avery’s Takeaway: This series is always one of the most anticipated of the year and it very well lived up to the hype in Game 1. Pickens has shown that 1-9 is extremely scrappy over the course of the Spring as they battled against a strong opposing arm to set the tone. 2-hit performances from Truitt Grubbs, Boogie Lowit, and Jennings Allen paced the offense while Kam Jenkins and Everett Grubbs picked up knocks as well. Robert Turner and Everett Grubbs showed well out of the pen as they held the Trojans scoreless across 4.0 IP. A couple of pieces in the North Hall lineup showed well including Thomas Davis, Smith McGarvey, Kenny Foudy, Josh Bolton, Jayzen Johnson, and Branson Crawford as they look to take the next two games and claim the series victory. Both of these teams are at the top of the pool in 3A and will certainly be ones we see later in the Spring.

Central @ Heard County


Score: 18-5, Central wins

Standouts:
Grayson Parker, INF, 2029, Central


Bradyn Grimaldi, 1B, 2026, Central


Trent Harrison, RHP, 2028, Central


Brody Cofield, OF, 2027, Heard County



Key Moments:
It was a pitching duel for 2 innings with both arms nearly going 6 up 6 down. Trent Harrison struck out for 4 in 2 innings for Central. The Lions offense got rolling in the 3rd after a couple free bases by Heard County, senior Bradyn Grimaldi delivered a double to give them the lead early. Sophomore Asher Allen followed him up with a near home run that ended up being a double off the wall. Brady Willingham and Grayson Parker would both single to give them the 4-0 lead. Harrison was going for another shutdown inning, but the Braves got a spark with 2 outs from a Max Lasseter double. River White would also single to make it a 4-3 game. It appeared the Braves were headed to the pen after the 3rd, but Gunner Copeland came back out and struck out the side in the 4th. The Lions offense would get back going in the 5th from a Grant Chaffin double where it would steal 3rd and score on the very next pitch. From there the offense exploded, capitalizing on mistakes. Warren Hawkesworth would come on in the 5th and get 1 out then close it out in the 6th for the 18-5 win in the West Georgia Showdown.

Huddy’s Takeaways:
I can’t believe it took us this long to get out to see the Central Lions, but as always the line up performed. The sophomore hitting trio we have been following since 14u performed well. Grant Chaffin, Asher Allen and Bradley Willingham are all 2 year starters that have the gamer gene that always stands out in game. It is always fun to see Trent Harrison compete on the mound. He found ways to get outs after giving up the 3 spot and gave the offense time to get back going. Grayson Parker is a new name we will have circled after a 3 for 3 performance from the freshman. Brody Cofield looked good for Heard County with obvious athleticism that stands out. We will be checking back in on the Lions next week as they had their biggest test of the year so far in a region match up with Harris County.

McEachern @ Hillgrove

Score: McEachern win, 5-3

Standouts:

Chubb Jones Jr., RHP/3B, 2027, McEachern


Jaxston Brown, OF, 2027, McEachern


Shane Jelenevsky, RHP, 2026, Hillgrove


Malachi Butler, SS, 2027, McEachern

Key Moments: The high-level pitching from Chubb Jones Jr. and Shane Jelenevsky was on display early before the Hawks brought in the opening run on a dropped third strike after Chase Hicks opened the inning with a ringing backside 2B. Adrien Islas would push across the tying run in the 4th before a couple mental errors lead to a Donavan Dortch bloop 1B in the bottom half that would score two. Lead didn’t last long after 3 straight hits in the 5th culminating with a Jaxston Brown 2B to give McEachern the lead and they didn’t look back.

Ian’s Takeaway: Huge program win for Coach Autry and the Indians for their first win at Hillgrove since 2013, and it starts with the pure electricity on the mound from Chubb Jones Jr. 14 K with 20+ whiffs in the CG win while showing well at the plate with 2 hits and an overall ability to flip a switch. The Clemson commit would strike out 5 of the last 6 to shut the door, touching 96 and showing two future plus secondaries. The Malachi Butler stock continues to rise this spring as the hit tool is showing extremely well and starting to take the profile towards its ceiling sooner than later. The addition of Jaxston Brown is leading to immediate impact for McEachern, bringing speed and bat-to-ball skills that provide value always. On the other side, another addition in Shane Jelenevsky gives Hillgrove frontline star Myers who shows the durability and stuff to handle big innings in a tough region. Veteran lineup was ready to handle velocity for the Hawks and has a chance to build off this outing regardless of the result. This series is nowhere near over and will be full of energy as they move to McEachern for the DH later on this week.
