Clark 7 Paris 6

[willydidit]

Clark and Paris played a great game tonight. Paris led most of the game but the Cards found a way to pull it out. Paris had a chance top of the 7th when they had bases loaded but couldn't retake the lead. GREAT JOB by Paris and excellent job by Clark. They will probably meet each other the first round of the district. Hope it's another great game.

Paris must have a really good ballclub this year. Clark is probably the favorite to win the region, and Paris must have had a great chance to win the ballgame. Is Paris a region contender?

I'm shocked this game was so close.

I'm shocked this game was so close.

Me too...:eek: But GRC did clinch the #1 seed in the district with this win.

GRC's Bennett pitched well but errors again haunted Clark Co. Paris HAS improved tremendously the last month or so. They are not the same team GRC 10 run ruled in April. Seems Paris is peaking at the right time. Clark has to re-focus and come ready to play in the district or Paris could sneak by them.

One good thing for Paris is that they are made up of mainly Jr's with Yieser, Jones and Estes-Waugh starting since they were 7th graders. They have 2 Sr's that will be missed next year but they are returning everyone else. Marty Jones was suppose to be their #1 pitcher this year but due to an injury has only pitched an inning or two in the last month. Next year he should be back to help with the pitching which will take a lot of pressure off of the rotation. Plus Jordan Barnett, a Freshman has been pitching well and with this experience this year and one year older will be an asset as well. Hopefully they will bring it together next year and make some noise. Next year GRC will still be GRC. Coach Allison, the staff and players are always prepared and they never rebuild, they simple reload. Hats off to both teams for a great game.

Paris made George Rogers Clark High School sweat it out to earn a top seed for the upcoming 40th District Tournament.
