Boone County lost 3 yesterday at the Harrison County Classic, but the day was not without its bright spots. One, all three teams, LexCath, Eastern, and Boyd County are ranked in the top 30 in the state, two, Cory Farris and Frosh Ronald Cotton made the all-tourney team, and, three, none of the defensive lapses which plagued Boone is losses last week to CovCath and Ryle reared their head. By the time the weekend ended Boone's last 5 games were all against top 30 teams in the space of 4 days.

These were 3 quality teams Boone faced and I challenge anyone to play all 3 of them in one day without your number 1 and 3 starters available.

Cory awakend from a power slump with 2 HRs and a double, among his other hits during the day. Cotton's first 2 varsity hits were HRs in the game against Louisville Eastern. John Ham also homered in the Eastern game.

Their was no quit, despite the long day (at Cynthiana by 9:15 am and back home at 11:00 pm), and all of us there came away convinced this bunch will bounce back from this week, learn from it, and be ready to make their run over the next month.

Sounds like Ronald is following in the footsteps of his older brother Rob. Congratulations to both Corey and Ronald.
