As this is the only thread that mentions Bracken Co. , I just wanted to know where you got your information. Rocket scientist or not this will not be the same team as last year. Last years team had very little experience. There will be several talented freshmen on this years team that will help fill last years holes. These freshman will have more baseball experience than many of last years starters. Since it is only Feb. 23 I don't know who they will beat and you do not either, but this will be an improved team. So why don't you wait until at least May to give your negative outlook on the season. Give the kids a Break!!!!

Please tell me where you "read" this because I did not know any reports have been given on the local teams.

Final. Bracken Co. got off to terrible start and was down by 21 in the first half before their shots started to fall. Down by 6 at half and then all Bracken Co. in the second half.

After reading the newspaper sounds like a "Home Court Advantage" with the foul differential. Maybe the refs got caught up in the senior nite emotion too.

Andrew Moran had 6 pts. and Darrin Bray scored 14 pts. for Calvary. Andrew Cummins completed a 3-point play with 9 seconds to play to send the game into overtime and finished with 14 pts.

Senior night for the boys is the Calvary Christian game along with Homecoming.

Dylan Hamilton of Bracken County hit his 1.000 pts. this past week

Best of luck! Congrats Tony!:thumb:

Bracken Co. fell behind by as many as 17 and battled back to get as close as 4 in the 4th quarter but could get no closer.

Any thoughts on tomorrow nights game?

Games are still on, but start times have been moved up 30 minutes. JV game starts at 5:30. Varsity at 7:00.

Todd did not play last year.

Chris Yelton will coach Bracken Co. again this year. The Bears will be a young team again this year, but should be improved over the last couple of years. They will be led by junior Andrew Cummins and sophmore Josh Cummins.

A twenty win season would be great, but if they do not quite reach that total why would that be a disappointing season. Why is this schedule any different than schedules of the past several years that have not produced a 10 win season? If you really check the schedule you will see it is probably tougher than the past couple of seasons. Why would you even question their size or talent level? Are you a full time scout? You do not know the amount of hard work and how much heart these young men have. Instead of trying to give backhanded compliments why don't you just wish them good luck for successful season.

Coach Persinger really has the boys playing hard. Great job!!!:dancingpa
