I don't see how Dixie and HC are ranked. Dixie and HC don't have much pitching returning from last year.

Not sure about the reasoning for HC but Dixie is a 6A school. When you have a larger # of arms to consoder, odds are, you can find a few good ones. Therefore, I would suspect most 6A schools should be able to field a good enough team to be in the top 10 locally.

You forgot the Bulldogs..oh, my bad...this is baseball. Have not seen a good baseball team since...um...the 80's :isurrender:

How many coaches participated in the poll? This one like all preseason polls before is silly.

My guess and just my guess? All of them or at least most of them! The reason is that a lot of coaches attend the first meeting of the year, where in the past this poll has been taken at.

It always surprised me Holmes didn't field a better baseball team. There are so many good athletes at that school.

Looks like 4 coaches voted. Although, this poll looks different than the original one listed.

The voters came from 1 particular district apparently. Why even publish a preseason poll with minimal participation? Silly.

In another pre season poll just released.......I'm the best hitter and fielder in NKY......

 

Poll consisted of only one vote.

2 things,

 

1. Is it the coaches who voted fault that the other coaches didn't take part?

2. Who cares? It's a pre season poll which means nothing.

Most sense i've heard all day!

That may be true, but 33rd is still the toughest district regardless of who voted.

Agreed!

Just some thoughts from a guy who has been around the game awhile:

Highlands - WAY over-rated. No offense to JB (GREAT coach), but the talent is just good, not great like they want to believe.

SK - WAY under-rated. More talent tham they're telling, good coaching staff, outstanding ace in the Newberry kid.

Brossart - Will struggle early but come on by Districts.

Dixie - Will struggle most of the year with teams of comparable size.

Ryle - Needs to shake the "underachievement" label they've earned recently.

Beechwood - Will be a team to reckon with by season's end.

Teams to watch but will likely never get the respect they deserve - St. Henry, Bellevue
