2012 Record: 29-12

 

21st District (Champions)

 

6th Region (Champions)

 

Lost to Newport Central Catholic 3-2 in Boys State Tournament

 

Starters lost: 1

 

Outlook: Another state championship contender with 8 senior starters returning (including the 6th Region Player of the Year, Hunter Johnson) and a deep and talented pitching staff (including 5 seniors, 4 juniors, and 2 sophomores). Coach Bill Miller will likely become the winningest high school coach in KHSAA history. He needs 29 more wins to tie Larry Gumm from Green County HS at 1006 career wins. Bullitt East and Butler are very formidable 6th Region foes. Regular season matchups against Top 25 teams St. Xavier, Male, Eastern, Trinity, Butler, Bullitt East, Henderson County, Woodford County, Central Hardin, and CAL will test a deep pitching staff, led by seniors Kyle Olliges, Hunter Johnson, Greg Laughlin, Austin Beckmann, and Kiron McKenzie. SS Alex Miller started every game as a freshman and is a premier hitter from the left side and an outstanding defender. 2B Blake Stewart is one of the best defensive players in Kentucky and puts pressure on defenses with his bat handling ability. 3B Josh Beams is a hitting machine, and 1B/P/DH Hunter Johnson is a fearsome hitter and a 90+ mph fastball who has committed to play baseball at Murray State. Senior outfielders Ryan Hart and Jacob Clair can run and throw with anyone, and are also threats at the plate. Senior DH Desean Owens has great strength and bat speed, and looks for a breakout year.

I thought Hunter Johnson was going to UL?

No. Signing with Murray this week. Murray offered him a 70% scholarship, which is about as good as it gets from the baseball scholarship side.

State champions in 1994, 1995, 1996, 2008.

 

State runners up in 1982, 1985, 1993, and 1999.

 

State semi-finalists in 1987, 1990, 1998, 2006, 2007, and 2011.

 

Sixth Region champions in 1981, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2012.

Thanks......Looks like I would have found out about them this year....CCH has them on 4/20 as part of the Doc Morris.....

Between Coaches Krumpelbeck (841 wins) and Miller (977 wins), there will be a lot of collective wins and wisdom on that field.

Very impressive. Definitely a baseball powerhouse.

They have a turf infield.

Yes PRP is tuff every year and a lot of good players should be a contender, what about their catcher how is he
