Set Em Up Sit Em Down

Well fastest in the 37th district would be really a none issure since Campbell County and Brossart, and Scott havent been in that district but for 2 years, this being the 3rd.

It was intentional all the way, there couldn't have been a mix up, there is no catcher that automatically falls to his knees to block up just because he thought a curveball, which seemed to be the pitch, was called. You still follow it in with your eyes and glove, if he can't see the ball to do that he 1) doesnt even need to be recrutied for college and 2) needs not to be playing catcher any more because he wasn't even close to getting any type of leather on that pitch. Cross ups dont get missed by that much by a catcher becuase your first reaction is to "catch" the ball not just drop and put your head down.

It did not hit the batters helmet I mean really, how many games of baseball have you been at you can easily here it hit the helmet, I am sure that the batter would know if it hit his helmet, he wouldn't be telling the runner to advance to third if it hit him in the helmet he would be trotting to first base. And if it even grazed like one thread on the helmet the catcher it still ducking down like he is going to body up a ball in the dirt. It's one of the dirtiest things in baseball to do and if it werent for him being a senior this year he should been suspended games next season for it. Good call by the college by taking away his scholarship because seems as if this kid has some ethical problems.

I don't know why he is leaving but this was actually told to me by a very reliable source at the Lexington Hearld that there will be an opening this year at Dunbar.

Scott had a good season, but lets not kid ourselves, they had a cake walk to the finals. This was clearly the year to be runner up in the 37th district, based on how the draw played out.

I would say the same thing, just like a hall of fame college coach once told me " Dance with the lady that brought you to the dance, then worry about all other things later."

It's wrong if they start scheduling this tourney around different days, it should always be in 3 consecutive days for unless there is weather for the simple fact that it won't totally prove whom has the best team (deepest) in the region to best represent our region.

They will pitch Adkins and Adams becuase they HAVE to win. But in my opinion from the whole season and even during the District Adkins and Adams are second wrung compared to the Murray kid, in my opinion he is by far the better pitcher than the previous two. He throws strikes, but also has great off speed matched up with an average fastball that keeps hitters more off balance than what I have ever seen Adkins or Adams do. Tough to say who will win, but I think the winner of the Campbell county and Harrison co/Clark Co. game will be the 10th region champs without a doubt.

I wasn't worried so much as to Silver Grove getting a 1 seed more or less a 3 way tie for a 1 seed between Campbell Co. Brossart and Scott. They would have to then draw out of a hat to see whom the number 1 seed was. But again they would have to mess up pretty bad for that to happen, but that is why you play the game.

Campbell County hasn't clinched the number 1. seed just yet. They still have to play Silver Grove, which yes they are favored very heavily but as well all know things can happen, it is baseball. But good job by the camels and keep on winning.

Oh yea and the bermuda grass, it will stay brown until roughly late may early June and then will turn green. It's no big deal, anyone that has been around turf lawn will tell you this, unless you put a solar blanket on it this time of year then it will green up. But until we get nice warm mid 70 in the days and warmer nights it will stay brown, its just dormant for the year and you can't do anything about it, its that type of grass. And like I said before anything that is green right now on that field should be pulled because its a weed and not bermuda grass, most likely crab grass.

First off great Post by Leatherneck, couldn't have said it better myself. RedDevils, I have nothing to say about the arrogance you posses in the last post. To call the CCYFL a T-shirt league and act like the Red Devils is a premier team is just somthing to laugh at. At that age kids need to have fun playing the game such as Leatherneck said, its not about an ego driven coach and ego driven parent that will help a high school team in the future. Its about making sure the kid loves to go to practice every night, develops friendships and loves the game. I have known many of kids come from Red Devils and were top notch players while they were there, turn out to nothing or even quit in high school becuase they are just burned out. I myself being a Red Devil and playing at the high school had many thoughts of giving the sport up completely in high school, even though I was a starter and playing a major part of the minutes in each game. I was tired of the 6 days a week practices and making that games such a great part of my life, I had been doing it since I was 8 years old and was sick of it. I loved baseball and basketball because "They were coached by Parents" whom made it fun for us all every game, and it stayed that way throughout high school. When your son gets to be an age like myself you look back at your little plastic trophies and laugh, not really caring because quite frankly it was just a kid game that means nothing, I mean seriously its a $2.00 trophy. I cared more about the bonds and friendships I made thoughout the years that still have lasted today. And if thats why the CCYFL will do then I think its a great thing, while teaching the kids to play the game and also love the game for a life time.

The tax money argument is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of in my life for any athletic field. Ok out of the 20 bucks that get taken out from their taxes for a school they contributed about 1.50 towards that field a year, not even enough to mow half of the football field, get real, most of the tax money for that school goes for educatoin purposes. The field is already over played on and the school is looking out for their kids first and foremost and looking out for their own teams first. If people don't like it then why not ask the board for a vote on getting turf. If these great red devil coaches that are now coaching for campbell county sees fit to have red devils on it then they would make a huge push for not only the red devils to play but they should make a push to the school board as well for wanting turf. Again nothing can get done unless you ask for it, and the biggest voices to be heard from up there is from the coaches on that staff. Its not just board memebers and such its the staff as a whole. Heck for UK basketball to get a brand new practice facility it took the coaches and athletic department as a whole to push for it, then it goes to the board. There is no difference here on this situation either, your coaches need to step up to the plate and ask for this project, get a vote on it and see which board members then say yay or nay to the idea and then make your judgements from there. The board is not in charge of coming up with ideas like that, they are there first and formost for 1)Academics 2) Laws and Rules then athletics would be a distance from all of that. I think if the idea was brought to them in one of their school board meetings that are public and then see if any action takes place. But if the coaches at campbell truly wanted this to happen then they would step up to the plate, its not the school boards job. Add into the fact that you have an AD at Campbell that doesn't know what is going on and has taken all athletics back at Campbell 10 years, its only going to get worse, and nothing will happen for major improvements for any of the kids or community. He is as tight on spending as anyone I have ever seen, his wallet has to have cob webs in it. Until somone gets up there that "truly cares" for the kids and the school program nothing will get done, because you need the confidence and backing of your AD as well. I don't care what things you do your only as good and as strong as your leader.

And your saying that fundraising would have been $8,000 dollars off this one event? Are there luxury suites available at these games? Will Marvin Lewis, Pete Carrol, Bill Bilicheck be at this game as well, because wow I don't know how a youth team can make 8 grand in one game.

Your backing a Coach that went 9-32 for a career at a then 4A school with an enrollment of 1,300 kids are you serious? Oh and the year he finally was let go he was 0-10 and you would keep him around? I sure hope your not a manager at some company or anything.
