I like it starting bulletin board material already! I think Highlands has a break out season and wins the 9th region! Yes my DD is a senior and I am a Homer, but I truly think they have the potential to play with anyone in the 9th region! BUT

 

Until someone steps up and beats them here is My thoughts on the 9th Region

1. ND

I have to put ND on top of 9th region until someone can beat them from the 9th region. Don't they have 2 of the 5 best Pitchers in the 9th?

2. Conner

Hard to beat consistency year in and year out. One of the top 5 pitchers as well.

3. Boone County

Did I mention its hard to beat consistency and god pitching.

4. Ryle

I am sure they will be hungry with a new coach in place

5a,b.c includes Dixie, Newport Catholic, Highlands etc...

 

Hopefully we will hear from the other teams but a scouting report on Highlands is:

All 9 starters are returning under second year coach Rob Coffey! My thoughts on lineup is:

1. Ashley Grosser- CF (Senior)

2. Whitney Quillen- 2B

3. Shelby Graybill- C

4. Brennah Dutcher- 3B

5. Kendall Turner- 1B (Senior)

6. Hailey Coffey- SS

7. Bailey Spencer- P

8. KC Broering- LF (Senior)

9. Peyton Leighty- RF

 

OK the lineup will not be in that order but everyone of these girls has the potential to Hit and play solid D.

 

Have you seen the new Field at Winkler Park? Inside the fences is finished! Outside the fences is still under construction and this weather is not helping get dugouts built or the concession building which will house the restrooms and press box. No More walking over that hill to watch a game! We can not wait to host your school and show off the new Home of the Lady Bluebirds!

 

JMU the beer garden is still in the plans! Just hoping it is done for the Ribbon Cutting in a opening game vs NCC

 

If you were really a Homer you should have HHS 1, you have them about the same place I do and I don't believe they can beat the top teams yet.

 

I like your post and truthfully HHS could be anywhere from 1 through 7 just depends how things shake out.

 

This year will probably be the same as every other year in the 9th, it comes down to the best pitching more times than not.

 

You look at what will be almost everyones top 4 this year and it will be, NDA, Conner, Ryle and Boone in some order. Who are the top 4 pitchers in the region, well they are all on those teams.

 

If the Beer garden is open and its not below 32 degrees and HHS parents supply the drinks I will be there to watch the defending district champs NCC face the Blue Birds!!

I think Highlands has better pitching, but NCC has better defense. Hitting could be about even (JMO)

 

Your probably right but NCC has Lawnboy

I will say this after seeing them play last year, Highlands may have the best middle infield combo in NKY. And one of the best hitters in the state. But IMO, they are still behind the 4 top teams until they figure out a way to beat them. Individuals do not make a team.

Campbell hasn't been in the top 5 for a while now. Have they gotten some transfers in or something??

 

Just a hunch...probably an inaccurate one. Lol
