Which travel team does the McKinlee Miller kid play for from Campbell County who is the fastest kid in the state? Curious if we've played against them and anxious to see her play.

She was timed last year at Columbus OH tourney from home to home was somewhere in the 10.5 sec range.

Karlie Keeney-P,1st, Webster County- Karlie was voted Pre-season All-Region Team by Region 2 Coaches Association. This was a great honor coming from coaches.

 

She currently has 12 wins in the circle (with 6 losses to top squads like Male, Bullitt East, Owensboro Catholic, Apollo, and Union County (2) all top 25 ranked teams!). Karlie would have several more wins this season, but she is giving up games against weaker competition to give her 8th grade teammate, Grace Scott, some varsity experience! Grace is also having a great year with a 5-1 record in circle.

 

Against tough competition, Karlie has only given up 23 earned runs this year for a 1.33 ERA! Karlie also has 106Ks in 121 innings. She is hitting .322 with 9 extra base hits, including her first home run! And, Karlie has a fielding percentage of .981!

She play summer ball with anyone ?

Yes, She is playing with mostly 2018's & 2017's on Illinois Force 16u Gold. Mostly showcase and national tourneys like super pool at Scenic City, Colorado Sparkler, and hopefully ASA 16U Gold Nationals in Broken Arrow.

 

She will also guest play on a few other top teams this summer and fall. She is looking to pick up especially after third week of July.

She plays with NKY Stealers

So folks as the Districts get played out and the regional tournaments begin, what have you all seen. I know what I have seen in this area and the Freshmen are very, very good, if not close to greatness, in Jefferson County. The only thing I have noticed among the freshmen that is missing is strong freshmen pitching. Not seeing much around here but as far as overall talent, very good!

 

Curious what others have seen in all areas.

"Close to greatness"?Uhh I don't know about that. Nobody in Jefferson Co has had an impact like say Case did for Male's run to state title game last year. Who are you suggesting is on the verge of greatness in Jefferson County in the freshman class? Greatness is a big word. I'm sure there are plenty of good freshman, I wouldn't disagree with you on that.

Well, let's be clear, Case does nothing special last year without Poynter and Suski and all of the talent around her. She is a very good player to be sure, but suggesting that she carried that team in any respects is pretty uninformed at best.

 

There are about 6-10 freshmen actually leading their teams without the assistance of those players in this area.

 

Again, I realize this comment will be taken out of context as usual on this thread, but you take these 6-10 freshmen and put them on that Male team and they would be comparable with Case and much better in the field.

And also if Case is so special, why is she not even playing in the field for Male this year? The 6-8 I reference include 2 girls starting in the field over Case.

Can you give me some examples of the 6-8 that are leading their teams in Jefferson County?

Before I list my examples of kids who I believe are demonstrating some great things in this area as Freshmen (and 8th graders), please explain to me how Case "led" Male last year and also explain why she is now sitting behind a freshmen and two 8th graders in the field this year? I mentioned potential "greatness" and you jumped on it and said "nothing like Case leading Male last year" and you have still not explained how Case led Male last year. I am sure Madison Mudd, Poynter, Suski and others would be interested to know how Case was leading them.

 

That doesn't mean I don't think Case is on the verge of greatness as well but you keep asking about "leading a team" and she didn't lead that Male team last year so help me out on this.

I'm not real comfortable going back and forth about individual kids on a message board so I will just move on. That kid was an impact freshman last year for their run. Symantics aside I am just trying to figure out who you are referring to when mention the 6-8 in Jefferson County. I guess it was my fault in my original post that after the word greatness I mentioned that kid. I wasn't equating that word with any player just kinda mentioning her since she did stand out on Male's runs last year.

That is fair and I agree about not discussing kids in too much respects but you brought Case up, not me. Also, as I said before, I think she is a very good player and could be great like the Freshmen I was mentioning.

 

With regard to that, I would list the following players in our area:

 

Holy Cross - Maddie Gailor

 

Eastern - Molly Probus

Tedi Nunn

 

Male - Madison McCoy (and 8th grader Jaelyn Sanders)

 

Assumption - Maggie Metzger

Braxton Downs

Sydney Young

Lillie Bennett

Ashton Dowdy

 

Ballard - Allie Skaggs (8th grader maybe)

 

Fern Creek - Meghan Hendricks

 

Sacred Heart - Alley Puckett

 

Mercy - Taylor McGowan

Ryan Hobbs

Mia Cole

Lot of J-Town kids on that list Bill. Lol! That's a nice group of young players.

9 of these freshmen were clear leaders in the 6th and 7th Region Semi-finals and Finals! I think my previous comment has been validated and am excited for Travel Ball to check out some of the freshmen from around the state!
