Should be a very good Region this year. West Jessamine and Danville both return alot from good teams last season. Rockcastle Co. will also be tough to beat with one of the best pitchers in the State on the mound, Tannar Perkins. I believe he has signed with Western.

I agree that the region is wide open this year. West is the team to beat, they are the champs until someone else knocks them off. I think that Boyle will surprise some people. They are not getting much pre-season respect, but they return some good players.... Cody Morris, Ben Carter, Garrick Whittle. Some of the younger players are ready to step up. The defense will be good and there are some real hitters on this team. Whittle and Carter can be two of the best pitchers in the region, both are throwing in the 86-87mph range this spring, and should keep getting stronger. Catching is going to be the biggest question mark for this team, but don't count them out.

 

Whittle has signed with Morehead State, Morris and Carter are getting a lot of looks from colleges as well, both should be playing next year.

Garrard along with Boyle should be teams that suprise a few people. Garrard returns 8 starters that lost to Danville 4-2 in district. Should be a very fun region.

I think the score was 5-3, but it was a pretty good game.

What about Somerset? They always seem to have good teams.

What scrimmage games for the 12? Who is playing and where and when are they playing?

Pulaski Co. should have a good team this year, shouldint they?

I think this region is going to be a VERY competitive region this year. Should be fun to watch!

Danville....

What scrimmage games for the 12? Who is playing and where and when are they playing?

 

I think Danville has a scrimmage with Russell Co. on the 21 of March.

I have to go with my young Ads...

Last season they finised 25 and 12...with only two seniors,one who only pitched...

 

They started a 8th grader and a freshman...the rest were sophomores and Juniors...

 

I believe this team still has only four seniors...One being a DH...Who can knock the cover off of the ball...And another that might get some action as a pinch runner...

 

This team should be very dangerous...:popcorn:

Three from the 12th on the Pre-Season All-State Team. Tanner Perkins- Rockcastle Co., Jeff Embree- Danville, and Arron Watts- McCreary Central.

Based on the Coaches Pre-season poll, the 12 region pre-season would rank like this (state ranking in parenthesis):

1. West Jessamine (22)

2. Boyle County (29)

3. Rockcastle County (44)

4. Mercer County (48)

5. Somerset (54)

6. Danville (59)

7. East Jessamine (67)

Danville and West Jessamine have to be the favirotes to win the 12th this year.
