I think the top 3 will be Ryle , Boone and Grant . I do not see Walton in the rankings , they beat Simon Kenton Sat in a scrimmage 4-0 .Hard to say about 4 - 10 ,not sure about Brossart team .There are some good pitchers in the area without enough behind them . Holmes and Dixie come to mind that may fall in that category .

 

PLAY BALL !!! :banana:

AND LET THE :argue: BEGIN !!

If we're talking 9th, Grant, WV, and Brossart are out. Different story if we're talking NKY (and including our friends from the south).

 

Who can score 1 or 2 runs off of Ryle?

Holmes has a solid core of young players to go along with Amanda Jump. Good coach as well. Can they score?

Holmes returns EVERYONE from last year's team. Can they score? I'm assuming so as they will be that much better after all having another full year under their belt.

 

IMO it comes down to Ryle and Holmes.

No disrespect to the Dogs but IMO they're 4th or 5th at best.

I was looking at the rankings when I added Grant and Walton . I agree Holmes has a core of young talent , they just have not played alot of fastpitch . They have not had summer leagues in that area . The only games I think they get is season , fall season that was played last year and the ones who play summer which may not be all of them .They have a real good young catcher , do not know her name , that has the chance to be real good with enough experience .

I also agree they are coached by a driven and dedicated guy that wants nothing but the best for these young ladies .I wish all the best to AJ and Mr. Hughes .

I watched the Allen Girl at Ryle the other day has about 6 or 7 pitches and has the power and precision to get them across the plate she's fun to watch and never seems to weaken no matter how long she pitches, She's a lot better than the couple times I saw her last year, looks like she's already pitching at Oklahoma.

I believe there were only 2 girls that made contact against her in the first two games.

Judging from what I read in the local paper they won all games in Fla except one and that on a 2 hit 3 error score of 1-0 not bad but need to quit the error thing that kills a good season quick

The game they lost was to Niceville , FLA .They are a state power down there .Nicevile beat Boone 16-1 Friday . They had alot of errors from what " MY SOURCES TOLD THIS REPORTER " .

So far the top teams have been Ryle, Conner, and surprisingly Newcath.

There's a big gap between Ryle and the rest this year as compared to the past couple.

 

I'm not sure who I would say is second. NC, Holmes, Boone, Conner all seem to be able to beat each other.

NDA took down Holmes 3-0 - further proving my point about Ryle.

Ncc has made lots of progress in only their second year playing fastpitch . Denny Barnes must have the girls believing in themselves and his system .
