Don't see him being able to repeat what he did last year. He wont be overlooked this year.

 

You may be right. But with the way Lee County's schedule looks, I'd predict that Drake will pitch against Powell Co. and Estill Co. twice in the regular season. Who will catch for Lee Co. this year now that Shuler has graduated? I thought that he and Drake were one of the better duos in the 14th last year.

4/1-Estill Co.

4/8-Powell Co.

4/21-Estill Co.

4/29-Powell Co.

2005- The favorites were Powell and Leslie (PCC won region)

*Powell and Leslie met in the semi-finals

 

2006- The favorites were Lee and Leslie (Powell won region)

*Lee and Leslie met in the semi-finals

 

2007- The favorites were PCC, Powell, and Estill (LCC won region)

*Estill and Powell met in district semi-finals (Freeman threw a bunch of pitches and had to bounce back to pitch against a hot Leslie Co. team in the first round of the region in the early game after a 2 hour bus trip). John Couch (14th Region POY) had a tweaked hamstring for PCC and wasn't 100%, Couch wasn't available to pitch in the semi-finals because they drew a good Lee County team.

 

Alot depends on the draw, whose healthy, and who gets hot at the right time. Like last year there isn't a dominant pitcher that can shut down any of the top 5 or 6 teams in the region. Freeman would probably come the closest when he's on. Drake gave Powell and Estill fits last year.

 

He's not always on but when he is, he's the most dominant pitcher in the 14th, however, Drake is more consistant.

Im pretty sure Gus Wise will be the new catcher.......he is a soph. with a lot of athletic ability but its early to see how strong of an arm he will have.

Lee County has had some good defensive catchers that could hit over the last 10 years. Todd, Hobbs, and Shuler were all good catchers.

Mouth or no mouth, the Napier kid is one of the top 3 players in the 14th. Could start at his position on any team in the 14th.

Have to go with Estill. Then Hazard.
