How about the Bluegrass Chiefs next year, how will they look, And when is their tryouts?

All I can tell you is that Darner and Holocher played JV with several other frosh (Hartmann, Shover, Sainola, Isler, Nutini, Maile, VanSant, Darner)...Isler and Maile ended up playing all varsity. JV went 20 and 3...they lost to Scott in the regional against another summer teammate frosh Murray. Shover, VanSant and Sainola didn't tryout for the summer Colonels: Shover is focusing on basketball; VanSant is starting varsity football; and Sainola just didn't tryout for some reason. Hartmann and Murray didn't make it...Murray is as good as those who did I think...Nutini was clocked at 84...Sainola throws harder than he does, but is not as athletic and can't hit with the others...but look for those two to be there next year as juniors. Hartmann is an above average outfielder, great speed, lead off hitter, steals with ease...he is a very good player. Just not quite at the level of some of the others yet. This group, along with Pabst from NewCath played against national caliber talent every day in the summer...they did more than hold their own...;; I'd take their summer team any day, vs any age group...I guess we'll see how they develop from here?

 

I thought Ryle and Beechwood were the 2 top JV programs last year. At least that was the championship game that I watched.

Your point? I was simply answering a question about the tryouts....your question may belong on a different thread.

It read like the 20-3 JV was the top program, no need to get ruffeled. And the thread is KY Colonels schedule so perhaps we are both in the wrong place.

No problem...I am truly not ruffeled...honestly, I think it's all a lot of speculation on these younger kids as many things change. I just know this group pretty well and tried to answer the question relative to the tryouts and the fact that they played more than frosh and did well...in no way do I believe they are any better or the best team or whatever; they simply have a pretty good young group that has been exposed to a lot of competition outside NK.

btw, I just re-read the original post...I did say that they lost to Scott in the regional....

I'm not familiar with Darner. He's at CCH? Where is he from?

I've noticed that you bring up the "fact" or "fiction", however you look at it, that a few kids don't fully invest all their time over the summer towards one sport as in baseball in this case. Does CCH reqiure you to play on a summer team, like the Colonels, to be able to go out for that sport the following year? If so does that go for all sports at CCH? As for Shover, VanSant, and Sainola, didn't they all play full summer baseball schedules and still mix in basketball, football weights, etc. into their schedules? I wouldn't say they are focusing on any one particular sport. If these other young men did nothing but play baseball all summer, won't that affect their ability to make their highschool teams the following seasons if they haven't been practicing/playing it competitvely?

Coach Krumps wants his players playing some form of summer baseball. I'm not sure if its 100% mandatory though.

 

I know Shover played summer baseball and I'm guessing the others did as well.

I think you're asking if these kids are punished or pushed slightly aside by the coach of a particular sport if they do not attend off season workouts for that sport? OR, you may be simply asking if it hurts them in terms of preparedness to miss off season activity; either way...all I meant by "Shover is focusing on basketball" was that he chose to play a lot less baseball so that he could make basketball activities his priority. I know him and his dad, that was his choice because he simply likes basketball more. I don't know how much baseball he ended up playing. Van played a fair amount of baseball and he worked his football; Sainola pretty much played baseball full time. From my experience at CCH so far, all the coaches want the kids to attend as much as they can of their sport; but they all seem to respect the kids' choices to play multiple sports. I think each family looks at their respective goals and chooses where to spend their time. From what I've seen; the better kids play...period. If the better kids also happen to be the kids who have worked at that sport for more of the year; then they play. If a kid shows up for basketball after football is over and he is better than a kid who has been there all summer; from what I see, he plays. The challenge for these kids at CCH, and probably elsewhere, is that there is more competition than when I played all three; and the kids that work a particular sport may very well pass up the kid who doesn't. So it could hurt someone in that respect. However, I don't see the kids who want to and truly can do it all being hurt...ie Bovard for example. Does that make sense and/or answer the question?

Sounds good to me. Hope that theory plays out and a kids don't get slighted by leaning towards another sport. Been told that it is already happening though. Maybe not because of doing the other sport but too much influx from parents. Or does that not happen?

I know Krohman and Reed made it from Boone County Krohman is a senior and Reed is a Junior

TD...we are on the wrong thread and I don't know where you're going....email me if you truly have a question in there.

 

Congrats to the Boone boys (and all the kids)...it will be a fun summer!!!! I'm looking forward to it...

Bovard is a perfect example. I don't think he does much in the summer for basketball. However, once he reports to b-ball and gets himself into game shape, he's back in the lineup. Luke Maile is another example. I don't think he did any CCH basketball this summer due to his heavy baseball schedule. It won't hurt him in basketball. As 2Short said, if you can play, you play.

 

I'm guessing coaches have some amount of "parent issues" but its not much from what I understand or have seen.

I heard the krohman kid was clocked at 87 in the try outs. Can anybody confirm this. This is some serious ::flame:

He was no where near that in summer ball.
