I think it would be interesting to know if the parents were actually "paying" anything.

7 Bowling Green 5 Bourbon Co. 3 Trigg Co. 2 McLean Co. 1 Mayfield TB Bourbon Co.

I would say that is correct also. Since UHA is a private school, it has no district lines. I would say any student could leave there and return to where they are supposed to attend and no questions asked. I would not even consider it as a transfer.

That's because they sell themselves! LOL

Over the past couple years Hopkinsville has dominated the second region. I have read the Cordia threads and the Scott County threads and even the thread about Hicks and Jon Hood. I know I have seen the question before, "Why would someone not want their kid to play for a successful program". So in this case, where the two public schools are so close to each other, it would be very easy to move down the street and play at the more successful school. I am not saying I am glad they are there. Makes it tough to win when one county has such a impressive wealth of talent. And it makes it even tougher when they decide to go to the same school.

I have no problem with kids in Christian County going to any 1 of those 3 schools. If the KHSAA does make it down to the "county" of the second region; I'm sure if there is any violations at 1 of those schools I'm sure they will attempt to take down the other 2. So I really don't see any of them turning in the other for something wrong.

According to khsaa.org the following were the umpires. Umpires - HP: John Newell 1B: Kristie Combs 3B: Mike Eldridge

This is not the first time an error at "the big dance" has occurred. Murray High football, last play of the game. 1994 the Beechwood Qb running around in the endzone and he hears the horn go off. So he throws the ball up in the air celebrating and the Murray player catches it in the air while standing in the endzone. Should have been a TD on the last play of the game. Murray High should have won. Instead an official blew his whistle for some unknown reason? No Td for Murray. In Louisville on a regulation size field. Not a double elimination game, but it was the Class A state title game. Rupp arena, Hoptown vs Daviess County. 2003 Hopkinsville wins 61 to 59. Hopkinsville player scores while the horn and light behind the goal is lit. But the refs still count the basket; says they cant use replay nor the light; got to go by the sound. Lexington Herald the next day has a picture of the ball still in the hand of the player and the light is on. Once again an official counted the basket. Played in Lexington at Rupp Arena. The sweet 16? Yes And finally, what comes around goes around. In 2000, Hopkins County Central vs Johnson Central in Rupp Arena. Tommy McKenzie gets a foul called in his favor while he is shooting a 3 at the end of the game? I believe he said, well the refs called a foul so I shot the free throws. Johnson Central wins the game. An official made the call in Lexington during the opening rounds of the sweet 16. My point is if your still with me; it doesn't matter where you play the game. As long as humans are making the calls there will be mistakes. Some bigger than others. It would be great to have replay for every sport and for every play. We have to accept what happens whether its to the good or bad. Humans will continue to make mistakes. If you really want the experience, contact your local assigning secretary and become a referee or an umpire and find out how easy it is to be one. No I'm not an official nor referee. Just an old fan who has learned you never say, "I have now seen it all"!

I just read that thread. I don't like the temp fences either. Cannot believe that happened.

Bottom of the 7th down 1 and Tow does it again. 3 run homer and the Lady Maroons advance.

Final.

Its in the top of the 10th inning and McCracken still batting. They have scored 4 and lead 4 to 0.

Into the 7th, still tied at zero. Pitchers duel. Mc Co. has 4 hits and Ashland has 1 hit.

Final in 4 innings.

Final.

Starting 7th inning it is still 4 to 0. Mercy Leads.

Without Moss, I was really surprised they won their region.

After 5, Mercy leads 4 to 0.
