Why is that, Are you saying that this years Greenup's team will not be as good as they are said to be, or are you stating that Greenup just is not going to be as good as last year.

IMO Greenup will be better this year than last year. The only thing they lost last year was the outfield. They return players who played many innings in the outfield and will be able to play there this year. They also return 16th region MVP Tyler Hieneman,Dakota Greenslate, and Kyle Martin on the mound this year.

We sure hope so.

I think that Scaggs is a pitcher also.

Yes, my bad I left him out. He will also help Greenup in pitching this year.

I think that Greenup should repeat, they are a strong club. However, they

are young, but so is about every other team in the region! Ashland lost two or

maybe even three all area players. I know Bias, a Rio Grande signee, and Davis

were all area. I think that Barber may have been also. Raceland has a legit

shot as well. They have Martin returning, who is an absolute stud that can beat

you with his glove, speed, bat and simple presence. Raceland probably wont have

any depth on the mound that will hold up to a very talented Morehead signee in

Greenup's Hieneman, 07's regional tournament MVP. The best sophomore pitcher in

the region, in my opinion is Greenup's Greenslate, who was also a part of the

07 regional tournament team. East Carter is always a sleeper who does not get

the respect they deserve. Boyd Co. is ,of course, always a team that no one

wants to mess with. This year they graduated such a strong class with the

regional player of the year in Bowling ,an Asbury signee, Blanton who was one

of the top two catchers in the region (Logan of Greenup being the other),

Perkins another all-area player and a King College signee, Branham a Morehead

signee, Moore an all-state selection (the only one in the 16th region last

year) and a Marshall signee. Lewis Co. is returning a few young kids, Bolander

I believe will be the ace of the staff there. They may stir up the 64th

district but probably won't be able to go too deep into the regional tournament again this year. Fairview ,I believe has everyone returning and also may cause some noise with Clark and Thompson leading that team again. Rowan County has their ace coming back, Martin, who is a very good young lefty with good movement and a lot of heart. With all that said, It is my opinion that Greenup has too much coming back, despite losing four key Seniors, three of which are playing college baseball, Wright at Rio Grande (he and Ashland's Bias are actually roommates), Rowe at Asbury( rooming with Ashland's Barber), Bentley at Transylvania, and Hensley is rumored to be having shoulder surgery and then trying to become a College baseball player at Shawnee. The Musketeers are returning strong with Hieneman, Craft, Logan (an all-area selection), Staten, Greenslate, Martin, and Stringfellow all were a major part of last years

regional champions. Forgive me if I am leaving anyone out. I just think they

are going to be too strong and too consistent not to repeat this year.

You will find Rowan County lefty Matt Martin this season on the mound for the Georgetown college Tigers. He will not be wearing the green and white.

As in Georgetown College?

Greenup is on top this year, but I think Boyd will be on top the couple of years after that. Boyd has a good Freshman class.:thumb:

 

What is the strength of the frosh class?

What about Bath Co? What are their strengths and top players?

What is the strength of the frosh class?

 

I would say a few of the Freshman have a chance to play some Varsity this year, maybe some of the BC Faithful can confirm that.

 

There are probably more Freshman on the Boyd County Roster, counting Varsity and JV, then any other grade, if all their Summer team shows up.

 

Freshman of note that will make a difference in the years to come that I remember from last year are:

 

Kyle Pauley - Infield

Tyler Arthur - Infield/Pitcher

Brad Cornwell - Catcher

Cody Clark - Infield

 

Like I said there are a lot of Freshman that are playing Baseball in Boyd, but just not sure of their names.

 

Greenup's youth teams used to compete at a high level with the Boys from Boyd and should compete well with them in the Future.:thumb:

I agree, Boyd has some good young players. Even if they struggle the next year or two, it will get better. Question is...who will be their coach? (RUMOR ALERT!)

Hmmm, interesting Post.

 

So are you stating the Staff that is there now will not be there then? If so, who do you think will be there?

I'd say the "staff" will still be there, just a different head coach. At least that is the info I am getting.

So will the head coach be leaving this year?
