Time to have a little fun.

 

 

1. PRP (until they get beat.....young)

2. Eastern (May have best pitching staff in state...offense is suspect)

3. Bullitt East (May have best 1&2 in Mcalpin and Bowles)

4. Harrison County (Very athletic and fundamentally sound, experienced)

5. Tates Creek (very talented group that needs someone other than Gott)

6. Manual (can hit it with anyone)

7. Trinity (maybe best young left arm and solid SS)

8. Apollo (talented young group, can they get out more balanced district?)

9. LCA (return 8 starters.....do not have deep pitching)

10. Lawrence County (returns states best arm in Shephard?)

11. Western Hills ( best year for Frankfort baseball in sometime)

12. Male (can swing the stick, will they have arms to make run)

13. Bowling Green (If I remember, return some quality arms)

14. Franklin County (could make some noise this year)

15. Central Hardin (Good run in 08 and have experience coming back)

16. Bryan Station (have some exp. / talented arms, can they hit and field?)

17. Covington Catholic (probably should be higher/led by UK signee Maile)

18. West Jessamine (core group has been starting for awhile,will miss Greene)

19. St. X( always talented, will rely on younger team)

20. Danville (overachieved in 08, but returns majority of team)

21. Ballard( should end up higher ranked....McCombs and catcher are back)

22. Rockcastle Co. (Can anyone other than Perkins step up?)

23. Anderson Co. (several starters return for the returning 8 Region Champs)

24. Boyd Co. (will new coach = trip to Lexington)

25. Ballard Memorial (region 1 contenders with talented arms)

 

Looks pretty good to me. I do think Greenup Co. should probably be in there also.

Probably the least biast ranking by someone I've ever seen. I like it...

Greenup has 2 straight state tourney apperances and arent in the top 25? give me a break guys.

What do they have returning from those appearances?

Almost everyone. I believe they return 6 or 7 starters and all their starting pitching except for Hieneman.

I beleive you have a solid case. If you have that many starers returning, and you were in the State Tourney, how can you not be ranked???

Where were you ranked at the end of last season?

I've got a for fun preseason top 25 players that I'm gonna post tomorrow

Should Harrison County be up at 4th after losing the ace that carried them? very far though of course!

Best team in the 16th?, I hope your right, but come one. Does Elliot Co. ring a bell?

 

To much Christmas cheer yesterday? This is a baseball thread!

Good list Rockdog....looks accurate...I would switch Bullitt East and PRP based on the strength of BE's pitching staff. I'm seeing an Alphin vs. Harper meeting in the 6th region tourney with the winner moving on to semi-state.

Smith and Larimore are two of the best pitchers in NKY, they are stoppers. They are loaded with younger players who are very seasoned and battle tested. This team will be better than last year, even though they lost five players.

 

Maybe Smith, but I would take Conner from NCC over Larimore.. JMO.

I would add Estill Co and Henry Clay to that list as sleepers. Another sleeper is Clark Co.

Henry Clay isn't going to be a factor this year. Lost too many good players and are extremely young.

I agree there, I also like Lex. Christian for the fact that they return alot, also I think Bryan Station will be pretty good and could defiantly be a contender this year.
