Do we play a game before the end of the month?
I'm guessing we will be ready in about a week.

Reminder
How many kids now have to decide between Soccer and Volleyball? Softball and Tennis? Tennis and Track? Soccer and Cross Country? Golf and Soccer? This is and always has been an injustice to the girls that play softball. We are seriously looking at not having one practice before the first games of the season are scheduled. Someone really needs to make this a priority and get this changed.

Who backs up home?
If the ball is hit to center with a runner on second and the first baseman cuts the ball, who has the throwback to first?

Who backs up home?
With the short backstops an errant throw can be picked up by the catcher fairly quickly. I like the pitcher to stay in the middle of the field. She can easily cut the ball if needed and make a play on a runner trying to advance. Having the pitcher stay near the circle helps to kill the play as quickly as possible. The college game is a little different because the athletes are so much better, they easily move the ball around quicker.

Who backs up home?
I know I may be in the minority here, but I prefer the pitcher to be the cutoff.

Highlands 8 Notre Dame 7 (9th Region Finals)
Looking at Highlands roster, they might hold on to that region crown for a few years.

Oldham County 2 Gallatin County 1 (8th Region Semifinal)
Ton of talent leaving FBD. How does it look for next year with that much talent leaving and arguably the most talented player still there?

St Henry 11 Simon Kenton 0
It was a well pitched game, but it was a one-hitter. Clean single to left after the walk ended the perfect game bid.

Coach Gregg was the head coach at Grant County in 2008.

Who is the little catcher? She is impressive.

Jessica Gregg play on ESPN
A camp would be a place where she could really display her abilities as an outfielder, a high school game not so much.

That is an interesting observation and goes to show that you can't vote for players based on their college offers either. I think you said you never saw them play, but I'm going to guess that you won't find anyone that saw them play that will say Gregg was a better high school player.

Now that makes for a good debate, .430 hitters are pretty rare.

All of the coaches do not get to see all players in the 8th, very big geographic region and that is why the coaches rely so heavily on stats. Jessica also played with one of the better high school players to ever play in this area and a pitcher that was pretty dominant that year making her a little less noticeable to a team that might not see them on a regular basis.

There really isn't a stat to measure the defensive contributions a player makes to her team. Fair or not, that is the reality.

Pre-Season 7th Region Teams
Surprised he has not moved on to the next level. Would have thought that was one of his goals.

Bad umpires? Here's your chance...
Amazing it is so difficult to find people that are willing to do a job that pays up to $50 per hour. May also be the only job in the world that being screamed at and insulted publicly is acceptable behavior.

Kentucky Christian University
Was thinking the KIAC or Mid-South would be a good fit. Not sure what teams they would be playing if they stayed with NCCAA.

Kentucky Christian University
What conference will they be affiliated with?

Travel Ball Coaches
I understand your point, but I also see the flip side. If you have 2 teams in a game situation you play to win and the sacrifice is an integral part of the game. I'm sure the coaches would like to see how well a 3rd, 1st or Catcher can field the bunt, if the 2nd gets there on time, if the RF backs up the throw, if the SS and LF are moving. 3b at Henry County who signed with UL fielded a bunt a couple years back that we talked about for weeks.

Nice Read
You are going to Chicago to coach travel ball?

Wondered when someone would mention that.
