sidelinedoc Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Montana Fouts, Alabama signee and star of the MaxPreps #2 Nationally ranked East Carter High School Raiders, was announced as the Kentucky Gatorade Player Of The Year for the third year in a row. Montana is also a top contender for the National POY. Heading into the State Tournament, she owns the state record for wins (144) and strikeouts. Her ERA is currently 0.07, which would also be a state record. To date, she has 12 no hitters and 8 perfect games this year. Congratulations Montana and to the team! Good luck in the state tourney.

Wireman Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Do they have a chance to win the tournament just based on having her pitching? That seems pretty unhittable. I hope I get a chance to watch her once this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to see them this year, but I believe they should be stronger. They beat Warren East 2-1 this year. They also got Holy Cross and Boyd County, but beyond that it's not a great resume. But... as long as Fouts is in the circle they have a chance against anyone. I try not to pull for anyone except second region teams, but a state championship would look great with all her other accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireman Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I would be perfectly okay with her leading them to the championship game...and losing to Boyle County :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4th player has signed to play at Kentucky Christian Univ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwadd123 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If you look at the Scott County fans on Twitter, they seem to feel that she's a bit overrated. Guess they forgot that she struck out seven of their first nine batters in a rain shortened game last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their schedule was a bid of a dud compared to other top contenders. I was expecting a who's who schedule this year but all it has been is a couple of decent teams and a 16th region round robin.

Jonwadd123 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Would be nice if East Carter had a solid #2 pitcher behind Fouts like Scott County has Southard behind Kennedy Sullivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
