The dog days on the diamond are through. The month of June in high school baseball is the closest thing to the month of October in the big leagues.   Battles for trophies commence next week and here are some key brackets you should be watching this postseason:   District 35 (Kingsley) In his first year at the helm of the varsity, J.T. Scarpelli has continued the dominance on the diamond in Big Rapids. The Cardinals have already won 25 games this year, the most since the regional runner-up season back in 2018. Scarpelli’s squad has the flexibility in personal, power at the plate, and depth on the mound to make a run at a district crown. The biggest obstacle in their way: a first-round flurry with fellow 20-win Gladwin who has dominated the Jack Pine this season. On the other side, the Kingsley Stags and Cadillac Vikings will battle it out to break the 1-1 season split and find a spot in the District 35 title game.   1st Round Matchups Big Rapids
