April 14, 200917 yr Author Any word on who is playing next weekend. I hear that there will be at least 4 D1 teams (KY Elite, The Ville, Hoop Dreams & Louisville Rising Stars). Who else is in?
April 15, 200917 yr Hard to say, down to 8 kids and 3 or 4 play a lot of baseball. They will be back looking for a competetive summer league or some strong summer tourneys. River City Hurricanes is different than the RC Celtics. The River City Hurricanes are a very big team and should play D1 in the state. But most likely they will try and defend their title in D2 to avoid teams that may beat them :isurrender: I think they won the D2 State last year by an average of 30? Weak if they go back to D2! The Ville beat Atlanta Express by 3 in the finals. Both teams are very good and def. two of the top 3 teams in the Super Regional. The Indy Panthers were very impressive and had an off game when they played the Ville. The Ville may have caused that off game but the Indy kids just did not finish like they normally do. Great, Great field in Lexington for the SuperRegional.:dancingpa

As for the rest of your post about River City:deadhorse:
April 15, 200917 yr The Frankfort Flyers will be there. They will be playing D2, should be a competeitve tournament.

Great, Great field in Lexington for the SuperRegional.:dancingpa For the record, here is the official rundown for the Hurricanes last year. Pool Play: they won their 3 games by an average of 35 points. Bracket: Quarterfinals - beat Truth Select 61-42 Semifinals - beat NKY Flash 58-32 Finals - beat NKY Wolfpack 55-42 I have heard that the Hurricanes have been battling injuries and baseball this year. However, since they qualified for Nationals through the Super, it would not surprise me if they play D1 at state. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
April 15, 200917 yr Author As for teams that will be playing D1, I can not wait to see KY Elite match up against the Ville. That will be THE GAME next weekend at state. :popcorn:

Great, Great field in Lexington for the SuperRegional.:dancingpa River City lost to theVille by 18 and to Atlanta Express by 24. Lost the week before to the Cincinnati Future by 30. This isn't the same Hurricane team as last season. Weak or not, they will play D2 and hope they all get healthy and can work on some things due to the lack of practice time. Frankly, they'll work on things in D2 that would be impossible to work on in D1. And I don't think that they need to justify who they play considering the schedule they've endured to this point. Good luck to those participating in the tournament.

April 15, 200917 yr The Frankfort Flyers will be there. They will be playing D2, should be a competeitve tournament. I heard they had a very good looking group of 8th graders coming up. Its good to see the school teams. You get a general idea of whos coming up in that program.

Good luck to those participating in the tournament. Each and every year and each and every age group, there are teams that some people think should be playing D1. It has been mentioned on here many times, it is totally up to the coach for a team's decision. I don't object to anyone's decision, because it is their personal decision. Especially in the state of KY, there are probably 4-5 teams in each division that are truly D1 state caliber, but they aren't for nationals. So, they have to make their state decision based on nationals.
April 20, 200917 yr The Frankfort Flyers will be there. They will be playing D2, should be a competeitve tournament. Why are they not playing in the D1 tournament? This team is real impressive and has one a tournament and finished as runner-up in another. The Timmons kid is the real deal and Current ( Chris Currents younger brother) is a good youngster.

April 21, 200917 yr What tournaments have they won and finished runner-up in? I agree Frankfort Flyers have a nice team, but I think they should be D2 and have a great chance to win D2. And, that is not a knock of them. They have a good of kids all going to the same high school. Timmons will be one of the top players in the tournament, and probably the quickest. I know of 2 tournaments they have played in and they were good in both. KY Elite 13U knocked them out of both, once in the semis and once in the championship game.
