Well for one they are not use to losing this many games.

There is a reason they lost those games. Team Chemistry. Apparently there is none along with some other very disturbing issues.

They’ve graduated a lot of college players the last two years. A lot of younger players. They’ll bounce back next year.

Oh I know, and it’s a huge win for the Ballard program. Just a down year for the Mustangs by their standards.

Ballard was 0-4 vs McCracken, outscored 80 something to 4 in those games.

Care to share?

The issue that I saw were the star players this year weren't as good as previous years. McCracken was a good team this year but not elite like the last few years. In 2014 they had a second tier of players that could have won state. All schools go through a turn where they don't have a star at every position. This year they didn't have 3 star pitchers all with state tournament experience. By saying this I don't mean to say bad things because this is still one of the top programs in the state. I also think they will come out stronger from this. I mean you have to lose a game in your region eventually this one just came at the worst time. It will be different and a blessing for other teams not to see a team from the Paducah area not at the state tournament this year. Think about it among all the schools Reidland, Lone Oak, Heath, and McCracken County one of those schools has been at state every year. I do want to say congrats to Marshall County for winning the first region. As good as the Paducah schools have been in the first region I do believe the other schools are getting better, which is a good thing for the first region.
