MountainThunder Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Does anyone have a link to the all state players from this past season? I know that North Laurel had 2 (Abby Sears - JR - 1st team & Glorianne Cordero - 8th grader - Honorable Mention), but have not seen the full list.

cshs81 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I've figured out how Kirsten Allen dominates NKY. Apparently, there aren't any other good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk80 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 csh81, just looked at list and had the same thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EQUUS GREVYI Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Of the best 113 players only one plays in NKY? Is this true or is it because of a lack of representation? The only NKY coaches on in the KSCA appear to be the coaches from Camp. Co, Dixie, Highlands, Conner, Holmes, Holy Cross, Ryle, Simon Kenton and Walton.

el gato Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Here's the problem: In order to be selected to be on the All-Star squad that competes against Tennessee, you have to be selected, and participate, in the East/West All-Star games that were held this past weekend. The East/West games basically serve as a tryout for the KY/TN games. Many of the top players participate in travel ball through the summer and elect not to play in the All-Star games due to travel ball conflicts. Of the 35 or so seniors that participated in the East/West games, only 21 of them were either intersted or available to play in the KY/TN games. Most of the ones that were not available were because of travel ball conflicts. For the second straight year, the current Miss Softball played in the East/West games, but was not available to participate in the KY/TN games due to travel ball conflicts. The Allen girl from Ryle did not participate in the East/West games because of travel ball, and if she don't participate next year, she will not be on the All-Star team that competes against Tennessee in 2008. Last year, KY hosted the KY/TN game and elected to have the games on a Wednesday in order to avoid travel ball conflicts. However, TN is hosting this year and they want to have the games on a Saturday, thus creating conflicts for those playing travel ball that weekend, and thus meaning that KY will not be fielding a team with the top talent in the state. :irked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el gato Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 As for the lack of NKY players, I'd say the biggest reason is lack of representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshs81 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Here's the problem: In order to be selected to be on the All-Star squad that competes against Tennessee, : Am I correct that you're talking about a separate issue than the debate of who should be on the all-state team?

Springsteen#1 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 This is amazing in class A Reidland wins the state and Raceland is the runner-up and neither team even places a player on the honorable mention team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainThunder Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 This is amazing in class A Reidland wins the state and Raceland is the runner-up and neither team even places a player on the honorable mention team When did the classify softball in KY?

el gato Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 When did the classify softball in KY? It is only classified for the purpose of selecting All-State teams. The basic reason was simply to be able to recognize more players as All-State. It has been this way for 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, but the quote that confused me earlier from a poster was This is amazing in class A Reidland wins the state and Raceland is the runner-up and neither team even places a player on the honorable mention team Is there a Class A state tourney like the KHSAA does in hoops? If not, that's not a bad idea. It does seem that the larger schools are generally the ones in the state tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EQUUS GREVYI Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Is there a Class A state tourney like the KHSAA does in hoops? The KHSAA does not sponsor any "Class A" tournaments. The "All A Classic" that is held in basketball and many other sports, including softball, is not a KHSAA tournament and has corporate sponsorship.

I wasn't sure how Reidland won the state. I've figured out how Kirsten Allen dominates NKY. Apparently, there aren't any other good players. It is true that there may not be as much competition in NKY as there is in the western part of the state and at a few other scattered programs, but she is still a phenomenal pitcher. She gives up so few runs that her team doesn't have to score a lot to win. She is truly an excellent pitcher. She didn't give up many in the state tournament. Greenwood was just the best team in the state and they can flat out smack the ball all over the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cometscoach Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Obviously a joke. If there are 10 players in the state better than Nelson County's Kristen Zutterman I would be very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
