Can Woodford County repeat as State Champions??

Yes, because how are teams going to score against Parrett and Hollon? If Woodford can scratch out two runs when these guys are pitching, I like their chances. Brutal 11th Region (again) will be the biggest hurdle.

Hollon is very good but is beatable. Bishop Brossart took him 9 innings last season in the State Semi Finals, no reason why a team can't beat him.

I may be wrong, but did Brossart even score that game against him??????????

If it is my understanding of how that game went, Woodford's bats did not come alive until the 9th, Holland was dominant.

Hollon went 9 innings giving up 4 hits and no runs. Woodford scored 6 runs in the top of the 9th.

It doesn't seem that Hollon was beatable last year. Per the KHSAA website, he was 5-0, ERA of 1.02, with 53 K's in 41 innings pitched, while only yielding five walks the entire season. In the state tournament games in Lexington, he was 2-0 (both shutouts), with 25 K's in 15 innings pitched, along with ONE walk and 11 hits allowed. Throw in a 96 mph fastball from a left hander, and you have the makings of a "not very beatable" pitcher.

 

Parrett was "beatable" last year, suffering one loss against 11th Region competition. He was 9-1, 1.49 ERA, with 93 K's in 75 innings pitched with only 19 walks. Good luck beating either of these guys.

So your saying Parrett and Hollon will not get beat this season at all??? Why did Hollon only claim 5 wins last year, seems like he would have had way more than that.

They will be hard to beat!!

They are #14 in the nation by MaxPreps.

Any pitcher can get beat on any night, but if either of these two get beat this year, more than likely it will be due to the lack of offensive production, not from pitching. Woodford will get everyone's ace this year, should be an exciting season.

Maybe because he only pitched 41 innings genius. The kid posts a 1.02 ERA with over a 10-1 K to BB ratio and your acting like that isn't impressive. Come on pal.

 

All of this after your original argument for him being beatable is that Bishop Brossart took him 9 innings yet didn't score a run off of him. That's pretty sound logic.

Harrison county said the same thing after there 2010 state championship with Jordan Martin and didnt make it out of the region.

Whoah Foghorn, Who said it wasn't impressive "pal". I was asking why he only pitched 41 innings, an injury? Does that sound logic?

Woodford should be a good team with to good pitchers they will need alittle help this year should be alittle tougher then last year, looking forward to watching them play PRP this year

They will be tough to beat no question. However, they were a little bit of a surprise to come out of the 11th last season. Lex Cath and some others in the 11th are good enough to beat Woodford. The 11th is loaded every year and Woodford will have their hands full. If they can make it out of the 11th, then I think they will win the state again. More time in between games in the state so Hollon and Parrot could throw all through the state tourney. They will not be able to do that in the region tourney, 3 games in 3 days.
