didn't NCC win the All A and 9th Region in 2008? Region semi's in 2009? This wasn't a "bad" year maybe a rough one.....Highlands is a good team!

Good show Newport....be proud!!!!

pretty typical of folks to complain and do nothing to help like ........grab a whistle get to work!!!:laugh:

You have to play your starters as much as possible so that, when you get into playoffs, they're ready to play :ohbrother:an entire game. How else would the starters be ready???

Hempel is a player that will make alot of heads turn this year. I believe he played part of the season with a broken hand last year?

There is league at the Blue Ash sports complex that plays on Saturdays and Sunday's starting in Sept for 6 weeks. We registered online at: http://www.kingssportsonline.com/kspro/ They take individual or team registrations.

Hempel is solid Meyer from NCC will be at the top of the list as an infielder Jones "Mr. baseball" his numbers will be up there but schedule strength will probably hurt his chances.

I too have heard alot of the same comments. I haven't been there to see but a few games it seems there are several players that IMO probably shouldn't be on the team for lack of proper attitude and talent. If the coaching staff played those that "want to work hard" and sat a few (and this goes for ALL summer teams) this would not be a discussion. As for above mentioned players being "overrated! Very much incorrect Mr Baseball Luke Maile U of Ky Isler U of Cin. EJ Murray not sure Connor I heard the other day he was made some sort of offer from Xavier Nutini headed to Thomas More sounds pretty solid to me! And there are probably more heading to college. When I watched them the above mentioned players played very hard and smart.

I believe there are divisions in Ky H S baseball. I was incorrect about the players being choosen based on the divisions. The voting is done by the coaches.

Your point?:confused:

Aren't these things voted on by the high school coaches?? Yes they are? Isler heck yes should have played as well as Darner. Connor belongs and of course Mailie no question. Tyler Brake IMO should be included as well. How many can you vote for? Jones is solid and played with the Jrs so????? The All Star coaching staff picks part of the teams as well don't they?

Sure it's about the best Isler is a pitcher Connor is a 2nd baseman????? If you feel so strongly about Isler making it look at the pitchers that are playing not the infielders.:confused: I agree Isler belongs as a pitcher but I'll take Connor at 2nd over him anyday.:laugh:

I believe the all Star team is voted on by the coaches. I not 100% on this but I think each region gets 2 players one from DI and one from DII. If I'm not mistaken a coach is not allowed from to vote for a player from his own team. There are many deserving players out there, not enough spots for all. Mailie and Connor are the truly the best annd most deserving from their divisions.

Luke hit another bomb today at St H kid sure can swing a bat!

Sorry this Connor/Conner is hard to follow. Above you have J Connor and R Conner. Connor threw vs Buzz according to rhe buzz he allowed no hits but a catchers interference call allowed a runner on(no big deal). You say Conner is also a very good pitcher? Again thanks for the updates.

Is it the Connor from NCC or the Connor from Franklin? Connor from NCC is probably the number 2 pitcher behind Isler but you never see him in your box scores????? Just curious and thanks for the posts and keeping us informed.

so there is Ryan Conner from Franklin Co and Jeramie Connor from Newport Central Catholic

I agree with you. I still think CCH is the best team in the state and would prevail over HC. Didn't NCC beat HC in their invitational tourney this year?

Awesome! Good luck

CovCath can hit and will do so against anyone Beechwood has. Even though CovCath doesn't have a big stopper like Isler to pitch the Colonels can put alot a runs up.

Will Schuttleworth looked solid and Tyler Brake can flat out hit!!!!

Both teams did a fine job under tuff circumstances. The wet conditions changed the entire face of the game. NCC committs 3 errors early that cost a few runs and then the table turned on Ryle late. Connor hadn't given up hit until the 3rd or 4th and the Ryle pitcher did an outstanding job as well. And again Cody Meyer was exceptional behind the plate for Ryle.

If Beechwood throws anyone but Smith Conner could run rule them the way they hit!

The wet turf and ball were very much a factor and both all pitchers deserve credit for dealing with the tuff situation. The errors where many and the wet conditions contributed to most if not all. Connor's clutch hit to drive in the go ahead run turned it around for NCC. Meyer from Ryle was terrific behind the plate tonight!

Do you think Coach Krumps would not throw his number 1 pitcher? I believe Meyerhoff taught everyone a lesson about that a year ago. That type of disrespect can fuel the opponent. I think he would start Isler and put the pressure on the bats to score enough early then take him out so he could come back quickly.
