  1. This change would be bad for high school baseball. The squeeze play is such an important part of the high school game. The pitcher has to be able to keep the runner on third honest.
  2. The Norton issue aside, Troy Roberts is a great hire. He will do an outstanding job at SK. Not long ago, he led Scott to 2 straight regional finals (and had to get out of a pretty tough district before that). I would be more concerned right now if I were a fan of Scott, not SK.
  3. The issue was not daylight anyway. It may have been that tornado/monsoon that came through about 7:15. If two games were started at 5:00, both of them might have ended up getting suspended.
  4. A month ago, all teams in the district were given two options. Option 1: play one game each day (M, T, W, F). Thursday is not an option at St. Mary because they have grade school graduation that night, and parking/traffic would be impossible. Option 2: play 2 Monday, 1 Tuesday, and have the finals Wednesday. Every one of the schools agreed on Option 2. There is daylight until 8:30. The games were flipped to accommodate Scott's transportation needs. Mel did not put the schedule together either. So there are the facts. By the way, how many other 5-team districts in the state are now in the position, despite this weather, to only have one more game to play to complete its tournament???
  5. I guess Campbell and Brossart moved to the 9.5th Region.
  6. Which KY players got taken in the MLB Draft? (team? round?)
  7. Referring to Bishop Brossart as "Bishop" is like referring to St. Henry as "Saint" or Holy Cross as "Holy". I'd rank them as follows: 1. Holy 2. Bishop 3. Saint That being said, Covington is more talented than any of these, and Larry A. is pretty good too. Don't even get me started on County.
  8. Anyone know the sectional matchups for the All A for 2010?
  9. Harrison County in 2 games, but both are close and low-scoring. And Oscar eats trash, not cookies. You're thinking of someone else. Don't try to say that he's the one with a woolly mammoth for an imaginary friend either.
  10. from AA Hwy, take 275-West for a few miles, then 71/75-South to the first Erlanger exit. Take a right off the exit. St. Henry is on the right within a 1/4-mile. Park in front of school, then have to walk behind school to find field. It's a great facility - old Riverfront Stadium seats behind home plate. Get there a bit early to get one of those seats. Not sure about concessions.
  11. Sounds good. Double elimination for everything. We'll just have to push the state finals back to mid-July.
  12. NCC and Ryle throw their aces in 1st round. CovCath lets them beat each other up, but throws Isler to beat NCC. Maybe they get an early lead and pull him after 2 innings to have him for the finals. I think Beechwood has the best draw. They beat Highlands without having to use Smith. Conner and Dixie will be a battle, but the winner will be depleted. Smith and Beechwood beat Dixie. CovCath over Beechwood convincingly in the finals.
  13. Harrison over Scott in the finals. Clark/Campbell will be a battle and deplete both teams. Harrison and Scott advance to finals pretty easily. Scott's close call with Calvary is not as much of an eyebrow-raiser as it would have been a few years ago. That Calvary team will be decent the next two years and will make it tough on Scott/CCHS/Brossart. But if Scott followers complain about bad luck with weather, they need to remember that luck has been in their favor at the draw the last 2 years.
  14. I'm assuming that this was not a district seeding game for Campbell and Scott. When is their seeding game?
  15. Anyone know which regions play each other in the All A Sectionals? Know any dates?
  16. Any word on the results and details of the game tonight?
  17. Enough about summer ball. Let's talk about the region.
  18. There is already an All "A" Tournament for small schools. Are we suggesting that there be a division even smaller than that? Then do we get rid of the existing All "A"? Not everyone is going to get a trophy, nor should they. There is plenty of value in setting lofty but reasonable goals. For some schools, a state championship is it. In others, it's a regional title, or just qualifying for the regional tourney. 64 teams make regional tournaments; 16 win them; 8 play at Applebee's; everyone competes in the district tournament. The system is not perfect, but there are plenty of opportunities for success, even if that does not mean a state title.
