Congrats to the KY Kids 12U baseball team, coached by Joel Steczynski, Wayne Siemer, Brian Isler, Paul McCauley and Scott Smallwood. Last night, they won the AA Division tournament championship at the Omaha Champions Village in Omaha, NE. The Kids went 8-1 over the course of the week, with wins against competition from Colorado, Arkansas, California (twice), Wisconsin, Arizona, Louisiana and North Carolina. They won four, one-run games yesterday in the single elimination phase to claim the crown. Great job boys! Great job coaches!

 

As an aside, the roster is a mixed bag of 2015-2016 7th/8th graders that will likely be attending Scott, Dixie, Ryle and Cov Cath. A great melting pot of Kids!

I should add, for various reasons, the Kids were the crowd favorite for the championship game, which was played directly before closing ceremonies, so most of the tourney field and parents were there. At various points, 90% of the crowd (guessing 500 people), from all over the country, participated in chants: "KEN-TUCK-EEE" and "GO BIG BLUE". It was simply amazing.
