District action will be heavy tomorrow.  Here is a look at some of the names who will toe the rubber for their schools tomorrow.

+Brett Adcock, LHP, Bay City Western HS, 2013- Adcock will take on Midland in a high powered district game.  Adcock is committed to Michigan and most recently threw a no hitter striking out 13.  

+Jacob MacDowell, RHP, MacDowell is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound pitcher who has received some attention from smaller schools.  He looks to keep down Dewitt tomorrow at noon.

+Dakota Mekkes, RHP, Jenison HS, 2013-  Should Jenison survive Game 1 of Districts tomorrow, Jenison will most likely turn to Mekkes a Michigan State commit.  This could create a possible showdown between Hudsonville and Jenison.  Mekkes is currently 6-0 with a 1.83 ERA.

+Jacob Gividen, RHP, Portage Northern HS, 2014- We could see a cross-town rivalry for the District championship if both Portage Central and Portage Northern survive their first games.  Gividen beat Mattawan in a Pre-District Game striking out 14.  Cole Schaefer, a Coastal Carolina commit, could be the counter to Gividen for Portage Central.

+Kyle Schweiger, RHP, Stoney Creek HS, 2013- Schweiger comes into Saturday’s matchup with Romeo riding a hot hand.  His last start against Lake Orion he went seven innings with 12 strikeouts.  Stoney Creek plays Romeo at 10AM at Romeo HS.

+Grant Reuss, LHP, Cranbrook HS, 2014- Reuss has been dominant this spring and he will have his hands full against Orchard Lake St. Mary’s.  Reuss currently has 61 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched.

+Lincoln Erickson, RHP, Pine River HS, 2013- Erickson will start at 10am against McBain at Pine River HS.  Erickson, who will be attending U of M next year for school, has had a good year going 3-2 with a 1.08 ERA, a .128 BA against, and 52 Ks in 26 innings.

+Alex VanDeVusse, RHP, Grand Rapids Christian HS, 2013- VanDeVusse will toe the rubber for Grand Rapids Christian in Game 1 against Grand Rapids Catholic Central on Saturday at 10 am.  If they win Game 1 don’t be surprised if Grand Rapids Christan throws Austin Batka (LHP,2014) in Game 2.  Grand Rapids Christian will attempt to defend their 2012 state title.

+Kyle Randick, RHP, Flushing HS, 2013- Randick will start things off for Flushing against Swartz Creek at 10AM.
