Holy Cross has 3 wins last year and now a new coach - in the top 10??? Not sure about that one :popcorn:

Didn't realize they have a new coach. Who might that be? That could be a good thing depending on who it is.

 

Who else could be considered? Maybe Beechwood, Ludlow or Newport.....? :idunno: Remember this is just 9th region. Could move Highlands and NCC up but I feel if HC's pitcher returns they could be pretty good. I think all HC lost last year was their catcher.

Untill someone beats Ryle they ave to be 1 also not having Highlands any higher then 9th is just nuts. They will be very good this year. Young and strong middle fielding wil be strong and nice on the corners.

I honestly like Beechwood.

 

New coach at HC is Lee Meeks.

If those top 10s are legit it shows fastpitch is still struggling in NKY.

Just my preseason poll. My top 4 could actually be in any order but this is how I see them for now. Bottom 4 is the same way. Could move Highlands up to 7 or even 6, but to be honest I don't know too much about them other than they are young, have a nice shortstop and they lost their two best players, catcher and CF.

 

Beechwood is definitely a team to watch. I like them as well.

 

NKY softball is definitely still struggling with the exception of those teams in Boone County. Top 4 teams from Boone County and Cooper is coming on as well. They may surprise some people this year.

Thanks Blue Colonel. Not familiar with Lee Meeks. Do you have any background on him? Where is he from, experience, etc.

HC will have a new coach. I am not sure if Lee Meeks will be an assistant or the head coach. Either way it should be a plus for HC.

 

Meeks was the boys baseball coach for years.

I would take Beechwood's asst coach over in coach in the area so I am sure they are going to be improved if she stuck around. She played at Northwestern and is from the Chicago area were there is a ton of softball being played. I can't remember her name though. Their head coach is pretty good also.

ND had a much better record last year but played a very weak schedule. Who was there best win against? Probably HC or Holmes who were both way down last year. ND had zero quality wins last year.
