I would love to hear from anyone who has been to a team's pre-season scrimmage(s).

 

What's SK looking like? Niece 100%?

 

Lawrenceburg - hearing that this group of Bearcats may be ready to contend again. True?

 

Versailles - Welcome to the 8th! Looking forward to getting to know the Jacket faithful. I hear the Yellowjackets will go 10 deep this year....thoughts from that county?

 

I could go on. How about some check-ins from the various corners of the region?

I saw that Fern Creek and their strong group of juniors beat North Oldham 67-61 in a scrimmage. I think Spencer County scrimmaged Eastern but I did not see a final score or any highlights.

I watched SK a short intrasquad scrimmage three weeks ago and they looked sharp. Logan Schwartz can play the game, they will have a strong nucleus once KN finds his way back in shape.

Mark the date...

 

Saturday, January 25th, 2020 will be a great opportunity for 8th Region fans to see many of the top contenders all in one afternoon.

 

The 2020 Henry County Classic includes the following matchups involving 8th region pre-season favorites...

 

2 pm - South Oldham vs. Woodford County

4 pm - Spencer County vs. St. Xavier

6 pm - Collins vs. Simon Kenton

8 pm - North Oldham vs Henry County

 

The matchups include the two top-rated teams in the 29th (North and South Oldham), the three teams expected to battle tooth-and-nail for the two available spots in the 30th (Collins - the preseason region favorite - Woodford County, and Spencer County), one of the teams expected to be right there in the hunt for one of the top two spots in the 31st (Henry County), and the pre-season favorite in the 32nd (Simon Kenton).

 

Six of the seven 8th Region teams in the Henry County Classic could very well make the Regional Tournament.

 

That should be a dynamite afternoon and well worth the price of admission.

Yes, hard to take much away from the scrimmages as the coaches are trying different lineups and trying to develop bench players.

You just said the exact same thing as fastpitchfan. LOL

I love this time of year. Scrimmage winners: “we’re almost where we want to be.” Scrimmage losers: “we’re seeing what combinations work and getting the younger guys some experience.”

And some are just excited for basketball season to be starting up.

Not exactly.

I would hope that most coaches are working on things and trying things they wouldn't normally do. Winning scrimmages means absolutely nothing.

Oldham County scrimmages at St. Xavier tomorrow (11/26) beginning at 6 pm.
