Jeremy Collins Is the new Cooper Head Coach
snowman859 replied to Clyde's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
Jeremy Collins is a great hire for the Cooper baseball program. My son enjoyed playing for him when he was freshman at Ryle.. As he will be saying at Cooper I am sure....."Boys you better get your legs loose you are going to run!" -

TOG I know you can't keep everyone happy with the choices that were made. However, if you want to use the argument on merit alone throughout the season. Then truly most of Ryle's starting lineup should have been selected in this year's All-star game.Research all of their stats from top to bottom and you will see most everyone of them should have been included in the All-Star game based on stats..some stats are much better than those that were voted for from other schools. Including, the coach winning his 400th game this year and taking Ryle to State for the 2nd time in 21 years.What does a coach have to do to get the Coach of the Year Award these days? I am not belittling Bob Mullin's accomplishments at Beechwood. Kind of makes you wonder if these coaches voting really scout who the better players and coaches are on the other teams. On the other hand, if you want to keep it fair with every school in the region, then at a minimum there should have been at least one player from every school, even if that meant having 3 teams. There was a lot of good talent across the board, that was snubbed for their efforts. I am really questioning the lack of choices that were not made from Dixie's team and Cooper's team. I know Cov Cath always has their fair share of players in every years' All Star game because of who they are and publicity and favoritism etc etc. . And as far as the All 'A" ? A great tournament but it is not the Regionals where the 1 A teams play 3 and 4 and 6 A teams at the end of the year. -

Yes, but didn't Keubbing win in the Regionals for St. Henry? Didn't Cain get beat in the Regionals? As good as Cameron Fogle is, didn't he miss several games for Conner due to injuires in getting ready for UK football? Didn't the Cincinnati Reds have 8 all stars on the Natl. League all star team at one time. Didn't Campbell County only lose by one run in the regional finals to Harrison County and wasn't Tyler Walsh on the mound that day as well as his outstanding senior season? Mason Forbes is the Regional MVP and no mention of him on the list? Didn't Dixie do better in the Regionals than NCC this year (when it really counted)? Actually, didn't St. Henry do better this year than Highlands with Kuebbing on the mound? I have a feeling when the votes came in .... the season wasn't over and frankly still isn't for 16 teams. -

Actually, why are they even voting yet for anyone until the high school baseball season is over? I do believe this was a messed up way of picking your all-stars. -
Great post Coop! This should be a fantastic game Harrison County has two really Good pitchers in Brandon Kendall and of course Jordan Martin. With Justin Hoard, Ethan Brennan, and Josh Bellew I look forward to seeing who starts for the raiders as well. Lets see if the hitting for Harrison County can compete with the pitching of Ryle, and the hitting for Ryle can compete with the stellar pitching of HC. Should be a very fun game to watch.

I just don't get how josh Bellew who has about 7 wins, Ethan Brennan who has about 7 wins, and Tyler mason who lead the ryle team in hitting all year is left off. But then again I do agree with the old bulldog and wonder how caple from Dixie didn't make it. I don't know, just kind off "messed up" in my opinion. -

What about Josh Bellew, Tyler Mason, or Ethan Brennan?? All had outstanding years and should easily be on their respected all star teams... -
Ryle 4 Dixie Heights 0 (9th Region Championship)
snowman859 replied to StraightShooter's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
Technically, if you took the season record of the two teams playing each other, Ryle beat Dixie 11-1 at Ryle, and 3-2 on Dixie's home field. And Ryle beat St. Henry during the regular season and yet they were the visiting team during the semifinals.. So I think really the whole idea of who is the home team and who is not during the regionals, should be chosen based on the merit of the regular season and head to head competition if the teams making the regionals are involved. -
Ryle 4 Dixie Heights 0 (9th Region Championship)
snowman859 replied to StraightShooter's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
I am so very proud of the boys from Union, Ky. It is only the second time in 21 years that Ryle has gone to the State Tournament in baseball. The last time was in 2007. Let's keep it going for 4 more games and bring the hardware to NKY this year!!! GO RAIDERS!!!!! -
Ryle vs Dixie (9th region championship) predictions?
snowman859 replied to snowman859's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
I was guessing Tyler mason would start, he's solid when he's on. You also have Ethan Brennan, Mitch See, Tanner Pulice can pitch again, Mac Welsh, Tyler Lonnemann, etc. -
Ryle 7 Covington Catholic 2 (9th Region 1st Round)
snowman859 replied to Keep It Real's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
Ryle's best hitter in my opinion. And one of the if not the best defensive first basemen in the region. I hope he is alright, it looked way worse then a slight concussion. -
Regional 9 - Who does the turf benefit most?
snowman859 replied to Oldtimebaseball84's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
So... Your point :wave: -
It was hot just watching these games last year, couldn't imagine playing them! What hitters and pitchers from each school should we keep an eye on this tournament?

I agree there will be massive amounts of fans attending these games!
