Three 8th graders out of nine starters really? Thought the roster was getting deep at HHS.....

 

Well one of them started last year as a 7th grader. There are two outfield spots vacant by the two seniors that graduated. Probably about 5 kids competing for those two spots. 2 of the 5 are 8th graders. Also have another lifetime player possibly focusing on other things for her senior year. I sure hope not because I love the kid and hope she stays, but I understand. So maybe 3 spots. The other two 8th graders are very good athletes and can run like deer. But even if they don't win the starting spots, they will be in the mix and I still will have to take their trip into consideration when scheduling.

And to answer you depth question...it's still a work in progress when out of you 39 kids last year in the program, we only had about 14 high school kids. So we are still working on it. The younger kids are all VERY good athletes. We are working on making them softball players. But we will most likely have our first actual freshman on the freshman team this year! So that is a sign that the depth is starting to come.

Did you all vote for player of year awards at this meeting? :-)

 

The Northern Kentucky Softball Coaches Association had their scheduling meeting last Wednesday, and just about everyone was able to complete their teams schedules. However, there are a few teams that still don't have head coaches (AD's have taken role of scheduling) and a couple of coaches were unable to attend, but it's safe to say 90% of all schedules are complete. Most of the coaches up here who are planning for out of town tournaments start scheduling before the meeting. The following is a list of member schools.

Pretty faces get preferential treatment I guess.

Cooper needing to schedule some games, due to a coaching change, we are running behind.

When is the "official" announcement on the new coach being made?

I'm a little behind (Highlands). Yes, I missed the meeting, but I have been scheduling a lot of Cincy teams too. So I try to get them on first because they are a little odd over there, ya know. Kidding, they have to play certain teams and don't get as many games as us, so their non-conference games are a little tighter. And we are having problems finding weekends to get away due to prom, spring break and our 8th grade trip (since there is a possibility we have 3 in our starting lineup this year!). Other than that, going pretty well. Should be a fun year!

 

How about you guys?

 

As much as you talk about SK why don't you play SK in softball? :idunno:

We do. It's been rained out the last two years. I'll send you the dates for this year. Expect to see you there.
