I am bias of course but Herrman was probably the best defensive catcher in the area this year...she hit real well also considering she took off almost two years and the lack of coaching at Holy Cross.

 

If grace would have stuck with softball there's no doubt in my mind she would have received a D 1 scholarship.

 

There are 6 pitchers on the first team 3 catchers and two infielders...can't put everyone of the first team but I would have her on there ahead of several.

 

I agree. Thought she was very solid! Did she not play softball all together for two years or just not high school ball? Did she play anything else? Thought she was good!

She quit travel ball after her 9th grade year and then played part time her soph year and none her junior year. She wanted to focus on soccer, in the end she didn't find a match for soccer. Grace does really well in school 30 plus on her ACT. She will be attending Miami of Ohio in the fall, there has been talk about walking on for softball but I think she would rather just focus on school at this point.

Bc there are some really bad coaches in the area and even worse people who didn't vote for her bc of the things that happened at Ryle.

 

Congrats to all who made the list.

 

Off the top of my head I would have had Sydney Himes (sp?) from Connor on the list first team and Hannah Dossett from GC also. I understand the enquirer doesn't see Dossett much but to my knowledge she is the only player in the NKY area with a D1 offer right now. I think Dossett will fill the shoes of Moran as being a D1 player that gets passed over for awards while receiving them in the sport she will not be attending in college. Funny how that happens.

I did not see the paper which also included the honorable mentions, but was Gallatin even included? I believe the Enquirer has set their boundaries and not included Gallatin. This is a matter of geography not respect. GC is probably the early favorite for the 8th next year and I would think 3 of the top ten players are from Gallatin. I'm not sure how much I matter, but they certainly have my respect.

OK, I did see that GC was included, I am going to give the Enquirer the benefit of the doubt and say it is a lack of coverage because of geography.

I agree with that and mentioned that in my post but sure does suck for GC kids bc it seems like no one wants them, NKY, Louisville, Central Kentucky no one will claim them! They have several players that can play the game.

To be fair to the Enquirer I would guess 95%+ of their readers are in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties and they are in the business of serving their readers. GC could force the issue a little by turning in all scores to the Enquirer and also the Post. I'm not sure if they are even included in the Stats and Coaches poll listings. I just don't think they had much to go on with the all-star team. In my mind it was more of a "hey we know you have some fine players down there, just wanted to give them a nod".

Enquirer used to not include them, basically did just schools in Boone, Kenton and Campbell, but I have started to include tem as much as possible along with Owen, Carroll, Pendleton and Grant. E-mailed coach/AD numerous times to get stats for their players and got no response. Figured better to lump them all together as HM without any facts to back things up other than they were selected as 8th Region All-Stars by coaches.

Good luck with this. I called one of these 8th Region coaches (twice) to schedule a game, left a voice message...and could not even get a call back to say ya or na.

Is coaching or being an AD that hard? Or am I just so used to travel ball where you are jumping over hoops and doing all kinds of crazy things to try and promote a player.
