Garrard was supposed to play Monday night but, due to rain they will play on Wednesday. Garrard had a very impressive year sweaping every team in districts to again be 45th disctrict champs. With 4 super seniors region should just be prep games for state.

30-7. They had a very good season, 14-1 in the region, 6-0 in the district. They played a decent schedule with a few good team sprinkled in, which will have them more prepared for the postseason then some teams who played a weak schedule. Looking at who they have played, they played a moderate schedule. Not many cupcakes but no real powerhouses.

 

They have a few very impressive wins: Ballard (6-1), Danville (11-1), split with South Laurel (L 2-7 then W 3-0), AND GRC (5-2). This is a team that nobody better go to sleep on.

Very solid team top to bottom with power and speed. Best of luck to them.

Garrard County picked up a 10-0, six-inning win over Wayne County tonight. The Lions will play East Jessamine in the semifinals tomorrow. Garrard and East met once this season, with the Lions taking a 4-3 road win on April 8.

I do know some of the talent that this Garrard Team has, WOW, how far they have come. They work hard. I wish them the best. Rhodus is a force to be reckoned with. Ball and Speake make a good team working together. Good Luck Lady Lions!!!

Tough draw for their first game at state. They haven't faced a pitcher like Allen all season.

It's not like they grow on bushes.

 

It would be unwise for any team to overlook them.

I agree. Garrard has some high quality wins this season. However, there are very few pitchers throwing legit 60's on a regular basis and Allen is one of them. She can also take quite a few MPH off on her changeup. To beat Ryle, you must take advantage of any opportunities to score because you won't get many. They have had a GREAT season!

Tough draw, I agree. But Garrard is a force. These girls have pulled together as a team, and they are playing very good ball right now. These young ladies have FINALLY put together a team that Garrard County should be PROUD of. I hope the community shows them the RESPECT that they have earned.........

I agree that there are few pitchers throwing 60+ and Garrard has one. We ran a radar on one of their pitchers this year and she was hitting 63 mph on some of her pitches with the remainder 59-61. (As you can tell I'm not from Garrard but I was impressed with their team in our two encounters this year.)

That's very good. I watched the gun on Allen & Sears at a tournament this year and the fastest I saw was 62 from either. They both do have excellent movement, great velocity drops on their changeup and some other pretty nasty pitches (rise ball, curve ball and screwball). Like I said before, Garrard is not a team that anyone better fall asleep on.
