Ole Aar2 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Who are the front runners to win this region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseballer Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Mercer is probably the #1 threat. With nine seniors on their squad, and a wealth of pitching, they are going to go pretty far and be tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleednblue29 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The 12th region is set as far as participants: 45th Danville Boyle Co. 46th West Jessamine Mercer Co. 47th Somerset Rockcastle Co. 48th Southwestern Wayne Co. It's a repeat field from last season, only differences are that Somerset comes out as the 47th district champs, and Southwestern comes out as the 48th district champs. A couple of district champs are not going to be given any favors by having to face Mercer Co., Boyle Co., and Tanner Perkins from Rockcastle Co.

Knuckle Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 This might be the most evenly matched 12 Region Tournament in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoesGym Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I would say that Mercer would be the favorite but really I'd have to think that Mercer, West Jessamine, Danville, Boyle County and Somerset all have a realistic chance to win it. Somerset struggled with a tough schedule but they seem to be playing much better lately and they are the defending champion. However they have lost to each of the other contenders--this looks to be wide open between those five. I don't think Southwestern, Wayne County or Rockcastle County are viable threats to win 3 in a row against this level of competition but they are all capable of winning a game. Should be fun.

rockdog Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Gotta believe Mercer County's bat's will carry them and West Jessamine's arms will help lead them to the championship game. Don't count out an a Boyle run in there. Coach Morse deserves credit for getting his youngsters in the Region this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardball Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Looks like it will be Mercer/Somerset in the first round, along with SW/Boyle on that side. I think Rock/West and Wayne/Danville on the other side. Don't know times yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADopted ADmiral Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I was very impressed with the Young Ads in district play.They are very well coached,but still very young...In my opinion they are the most talented young team in the state.(For the city the size of Danville)!The best first round game will be Mercer Vs Somerset...

hasbeen21 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 2 weeks ago I would not have given 2 plug nickels for Somerset to repeat, but after the way they dismantled Tanner and the Rockets in the District Championship I really believe that they are still the team to beat. See you guys at Region and GO Rockets!! Good Luck to everyone in all the regions. Play Hard!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
