Should be alot of talent and good teams this year.

What your top ten teams be?

 

1. CCH- Return alot of important players, and have Maile.

 

 

2. NCC- Have Conner throwing for them and will win a substantial amount of games. Plus the Kelly bros. will be good.

3. Holy Cross- return 9 seniors, and Have thier ace Roenker, now only if they don't over use him. Will be a very sound ball club.

4. Ryle- will have a solid team, still have Estcheid (sp)? and always put out a quality squad.

5. Beechwood- Young at spots but Smith will carry the pitching staff along with Larimore.

6. Dixie- Have a solid staff with Smallwood and Koors as the anchors. Lesley also is a solid lead off man.

7. Conner- Brake and Pugh should be the catalyst to the Cougar offense. Prolly should be higher than 7.

8. Bellevue- If Jones is still there they will be a contender.

9. Brossart- Don't know much about them but they were tough last year.

10. SK- lost some talent last year and they might be good toward the end of the year.

 

Thoughts..

1. CCH (no excuses for them this year)

2. NCC (have to give props to the returning 9th Region champs)

3. Conner (pitching of Shuttlesworth and Samad will be solid; Brake is fun to watch hit)

4. Holy Cross (Roenker/Stewart might be best 1-2 pitching combo in NKY)

5. Bellevue (they might well be the surprise of the 9th)

6. Ryle (could be higher, could be lower - all depends on pitching behind Etscheid)

7. Beechwood (lost fair amount of talent; is Slusher playing?)

8. Dixie (solid pitching; Klei, Popham all solid position returnees)

9. Campbell County (Estes and Coffman will determine a lot for this team)

10. Boone County (very thin on pitching, but return some solid position talent)

 

No disrespect meant to Brossart - just don't know much about them.

8. Bellevue- If Jones is still there they will be a contender.

 

Where would he be if not at Bellevue?

I would put Highlands and Conner in front of Dixie, and maybe Beechwood ahead of Holy Cross.

How so? Beechwood lost alot of talent, and there is word Slusher isn't playing. HC will be tough this year.

With Dixie I think Smallwood and Koors could take that team far, also Chamberlain will contribute alot.

Where would he be if not at Bellevue?

 

I heard transfer rumors a while back, don't know if they ever developed.

I forgot about Shuttlesworth, he was solid last year.

Well he's playing basketball for Bellevue so I'd say they were just rumors.

Sounds good.. They will be tough this year.

Why arent the Bluebirds even considered Top 10 by some of you, well all of you? How much did they lose and who is returning?

 

I agree with cooperstown, Bellevue will be a Top 10 team this season. Coach Sander has some solid pitching and Hunter Jones as his mainstay.

The pitchers name slips my mind, but he does throw well.

Sanola? Im pretty sure he was ruled eligble to play for them next year, also Ligget and Rizzo are good ball players. I have also heard of some football and basketball guys that will be coming out to play baseball this year, so I wouldnt be surprised if the birds can field a solid team this year. Also the new coach is a real blessing and will be a nice change for Highlands this year.

I meant Bellevue, but thanks for the info.

with AJ Smith and Snyder, I would see Beechwood being able to make some noise.

Totally slipped my mind! I'm was just doing them off the top of my head. Highlands should be solid, though they did lose their two top players last year. But with Liggett, Watson, Sainola, Rizzo, etc.. - as well as a very good new head coach - they have plenty of talent. On my list, I think I'd put them 8th and bump out Boone.
