You mentioned Point Pleasant....what years were you speaking of....my sister starred at Jackson from 98-01....and Point Pleasant had a sensational pitcher and Marietta had a great 6'1ish pitcher as well.
1999 -- My middle daughter was a Junior, a power pitcher, tall, but not that tall, with lots of leverage, but she got her thumb smashed on the bat and was out for the last 3rd of the season. We had lost a game early in the season at Warren that went to extra innings 0-0 in cold and wind about like Chicago yesterday and beat Point, the defending WVa state champs, at their place early. As I recall, it came down to MTW games the last week. Monday at Logan went to extras and my freshman daughter, best athlete of the 3, but not a power pitcher, came up from JV where she was giving up 8-12 runs a game and came into the game late and lost in extra innings in a game to clinch a tie(I lied earlier). Then on Tuesday played Warren at home and they started the freshman and clinched a tie with a 2-0 victory, then started her again in the final game with Point at home on Wed, and won the SEOAL outright like 5-2 with the big play being an over throw down the RF line on a bunt that scored 2 runs and the bunter ended up on 3rd and then scored also. My first daughter played 1B as a senior in 1999. Then in 2002 the 3rd daughter pitched for the win in her last regular season game at home to beat Point Pleasant to gain a tie for the SEOAL in a game that may have been 1-0.
In 1998 we got to the district finals in D1, losing 1-0 to Richmond Edison as the power pitcher was a soph. Her senior year in 2000 was marred by a torn ACL which took her from her prime in all her three sports.
