Look for a big improvement in Bell County and HUGE drop off at Corbin...coutesy of Coach Leddington. Although Corbin will still have the edge on the playing field, errr playing surface, Bell has a long way to go before they get a field like Corbin.

Hate to see Rob leave. He will do a good job at Bell. It would not surprise me to see him come back to Corbin one day in the near future. Sometimes the grass is not greener on the other side of the road.

Coach Leddington is a very good coach..........but I don't see hard times coming for Corbin, although replacing Hedrick and Hamlin on the mound will be tough, someone will step up to the challenge. Coach Garmon does a good job and will continue doing it, but he could use some help at the younger levels so that the kids he gets as freshman are better prepared to play at the high school level.

Who appears to be the top 5 teams heading into next year?

 

1 South Laurel

2 North Laurel

3 Corbin(may be the favorite if new kid lives up to billing)

4 Bell Co

5 knox co

5 Williamsburg(if new catcher is eligible)

5 Whitley

2 North Laurel

3 Corbin(may be the favorite if new kid lives up to billing)4 Bell Co

5 knox co

5 Williamsburg(if new catcher is eligible)

5 Whitley

Who is this new kid?

I have worked with Coach Ledington in the past and know him very well. I think Bell Co. is very lucky to have him as a coach. He works well with people and will be good for the kids at Bell Co. He knows baseball as well as people and how to relate to all age groups. :ylsuper:

My top 5.

 

1. north laurel - champs till someone knocks em off

2. south laurel - good hitting team but no pitching

3. Bell Co. - new coach and a lot of experienced talent.

4. Corbin- lots of experience. Has to find some pitching

5. Whitley- young team last year. has to find some offense.

 

Also throw knox co. in the mix. Good season last year...fell off towards the end of the season.

 

Something else to think about is the new harlan school. Not playing in 2008 but in 2009 should be a contender. With the right coach and the right mix of players from evarts, cumberland, and cawood....they could make a run.

Who is this new kid?

 

His last name is Hendrickson I believe. He played for E-town last year.

Rumor is that Mark Camparoni (Not sure of the spelling) from Whitley County is now a Williamsburg Yellow Jacket. Has anyone heard this one? If true, then he would be a asset to next years team. I also heard that next years team may be down a few players. What's up?

I heard that he was at the Burg as well, which would make 3 schools in 3 years.

How is that possible? Aren't there specific rules rules pertaining to transferring schools? Sounds like a bit of good luck for Williamsburg.

Take the personal comments to the pm's and not the open forum. Here's a reminder of Rule #2.

 

2. No disparaging, taunting, or boastful comments--especially between opponents trying to intimidate each other. This includes name calling or personal attacks toward any member, their username, or school. Also, keeping in mind the youth of our student athletes, excessive "bashing" is prohibited in the high school forums.

If in fact Comparoni is now a Yellow Jacket, will he even be eligible to play? What are the rules on that?
