Final

 

Where is Mcpapa?

Can you say Cinderella???

Holy cow ...

Unbelievable ...

Papa just got back from a football game.

 

Congratulations to Owensboro!!

Baseball has to be the most unpredictable of all the main sports. A kid pitches the game of his life. Or a hitter who hasn't hit well all year suddenly gets a clutch hit. You just never know in baseball. Congrats to Owensboro. You might end up with a winning season after all...and a state title to go with it.

Wow unbelievable!

Does anyone have more info on Owensboro? Like how in the world this has happened?

Owensboro has a young team not a lot of seniors and for the most part if anyone remembers the Southern little league team that went to back to back little league world series.

 

Well those boys are now juniors and sophmores and they are finally starting to perform. Of course those teams were split up between Apollo, Owensboro Catholic and OHS but there is some talent there. They have had 3 head coaches in the last 3 years and apparently they are starting to come around.

 

The last time OHS won a baseball title was 1987 when they started the season in Florida and came back from there with 0-10 start but lost only one game in the state of KY that year to Apollo and went on to win it.

 

Records aren't everthing when it comes to baseball and for those that do not know the story of these players almost every one of thm are multi sports guys and when it counts they perform always have. The record may say cinderella but mos of these boys have done more at a young age in baseball than most baseball players in the state can only dream of.

 

Good Luck guys most everyone on here don't know but we do!

Despite what the kids have done in their past, with their sub-par record, they'll be tagged with that Cinderella title. Either way, it's tough to not root for a team like this! :thumb:

NKY totally agree with that I was just giving you a little background on the kids as well. Saying they have been successful before so it won't be that they are nervous tonight because they have played on ESPN before.

 

I would take any state title regardless! LOL

 

Our football team this coming year will also have that tag since we are in 5A and well we would have to beat the mighty power Highlands.

 

Things are changing in Owensboro. Sweet 16's every year in basketball, state finals in baseball a great football program that people will come to know a little better this year. State track stars. OHS is starting to look like the OHS fom the 80s again.

 

It's just nice to see someone other than the usual suspects playing a role in state titles. I always have pulled for the underdog.

Overcoming nerves is half the battle in a game liek this, so that's definitely good.

 

I couldn't agree with you more on the underdog issue. When i see a team other than the normal Lexington and Louisville teams in the running for a title in any sport, I can't help but root for them. It's just so fun to see the big dogs go down. Best of luck to Owensboro tonight! :ylsuper:

It is amazing how tough it is to win a state baseball title. It is another example of a Louisville team saving a pitcher for the finals and not getting there. Zach Cox was waiting to pitch in the final but PRP got knocked out in the semifinals.

St X throws their #3 with #2 available in the regional final last year against CAL. I know the thinking is that you will need 3 pitchers and throw the number 3 in the game one or game two but you have to get to the finals. Congrats to the Bullitt East team and coaches on a great year.
