  1. Did not say as "expected". I said as you would have thought -- to a poster that was making a general statement and has not seen any of the boys play ball for 2+ years.Would have made the same comment about the football playing Juniors and Seniors that were very competitive as 8th graders and freshmen.

     

    Before you get your dander all up, please tell me one sophomore that should be playing varsity ball right now that isn't?

     

    Very incorrect statement..........but my statement was that hopefully the bench could expand. Absolutely no reference to any one who should or should not be playing.. I DO HOPE that the bench can expand as the season progresses. It would help the varsity one would assume IF some of the sophomores, who I know have some basketball talent, show the ability to help the team. Perhaps that is a sentence that is structured better for you.

  2. Would anyone care to research what Tommy did in High School and what Instrument he played in the band. Because it's true!!! A relation of mine went to Colerain high school with the "Loud Mouth" as he referred to, and has told me on numerous occasions what a tool bag he was then as well as now. This should explain pretty much whatever you need to know about the 1 angry shrimp.:lol: But then again, he is in Radio!!!!

     

    In all honesty what does this have to do with the issue at hand?

     

    Now not that anybody cares what my opinion is on this but I really see no advantage to playing in this event.........IF it was a one day event with lets say 6 Cincinnati schools playing 6 out of state schools at PBS now that would be a really nice event. As it stands I see no reason why anyone would play in this. Without having seen the contracts, etc why would anyone give up a home game for this event?

     

    I am not familiar with all the Highlands animosity towards Mr. Gamble but that aside there is no reason to play in this.

  3. Hunter Henschen is out for 8-12 wks with severe ligament damage in his ankle..

     

    Yesh he certainly has been a little snake bit for a few years. The bad thing is the injury that he had to his shoulder that has kept him out of baseball for a few years was healthy enough and he was having a very successful baseball season at 14u. Now the ligament damage.......UGH!!!!

     

    Hopefully he wil recover on schedule or a little early!!!!!!!:thumb:

  4. Well acclamation is a valid point. You can see teams from areas that do not have that type of heat have many more struggles then lets say a team from the South. Keeping kids hydrated and in the shade I have seen much more success with this than letting them go back to a hotel room and lying around in the air conditioning. Again nothing scientific just observations.

  5. I was told from someone at the game the kid was taken out in the top of the first inning after the visiting team batted around. This was after the base umpire stopped the game to get him water. After he came out of the game and before the next pitcher was ready the coach came on the field and said they were done. They only had 8 players and they called an ambulance for their pitcher. He was released from the hospital that night and was back playing that next morning...

     

     

    Yes this is pretty much right on as to what happened. He faced 11 batters in the first inning. Around batter 9 the base umpire called time and called his head coach (Olenthangy Warriors 14U) coach to the mound to give him water as there was only one out. Opposing head coach also came to mound to check on the pitcher as well.

    After batter 11 the young man came out of the game. The Warriors team stated they would play with 8 at this point as they had players playing in another tournament in South Carolina and these player(s) were not going to be at tourney until Sat. morning. Ky Crush coach offered to give them a player to play the outfield and the Warriors head coach said no. Next hitter pulled a single into right field scoring two more runs and at that point the two head coaches got together with the umpires and called the game.

     

    This game started around 4:00 pm on Friday and the regular temperature was 104 degrees. One correction from a previous post is that the umpires did not claim to have never heard of a heat index but rather they had not been informed of one for this tournament.

     

    As far as player hydration is concerned head coaches need to know what is best for players days in advance. I know both teams in this case were given hydration instructions numerous times Thurs. and Friday by their coaching staffs. However, if a pitcher faces 11 batters in one inning and is on the mound for 35 minutes really not much you can do as far as staying hydrated unless he gets drinks while he is pitching.

  6. Good Luck to the two Frosh, Dougherty RB and Cain WR, heading to the University of Texas for the Team USA 15U National Team!!! Nice recognition for a couple of pretty good athletes. Partial here, but good kids off the field as well. They should represent HHS in good fashion.

    Very true about both of them. When are these games played? Who do they play against?

  7. I have the upmost respect for Coach Walls and feel that he was doing a tremendous job at Silver Grove with what he had to do it with under extremely challenging circumstances.

     

    Last year's freshmen group were bona fide good, and will give the Trains something to build on if they can keep it together. It is tragic and a major setback to loose a guy willing to work with and believe in these kids. I feel really bad for the entire Silver Grove program tonight.[/QUOTE]

     

    Pretty much sums it up. He had kids working in the summer lifting and had several playing AAU basketball all spring.

  8. Not sure what happened but the Silver Grove players received a very heart felt text from Caoch Walls tonight as he has resigned as boys basketball coach. Obviously something happened to cause this abrupt resignation. I will say he was a very hard worker who put players first. Although a young coach, over the past two seasons you could start to see him make discipline inroads and become a better X and O coach.

     

    Not sure what happened but I think this is really a blow to the program which has some young talent that just needs very strong direction; which in my humble opinion Coach Walls was getting a real handle on. He even coached the freshman team this season to make sure they understood what he wanted players to do as varsity players.

     

    Although he and I (well not really me but someone close to me (ha ha) butted heads on occasion, that person by the end of this season was even coming around and seeing that he indeed was a positive influence on the kids on and off the court.

  9. Well..........from a student's perspective I doubt they care whether Ron Dawn (who should be greatly repsected for everything he has done and continues to do) is on the KHSAA Board of Director's or not. And obviously there were things that precipitated the student issue(s) that involved both parents on the NCC side and students on the Highlands side.

     

    The fact that the Highlands students had a student section speaks volumes for the support they were willing to lend the upstart Bluebirds in their run through the district and regional tournament.

     

    Also, I thought it lent itself to a more tournament type atmopsphere...........Nice job!!!!!

  10. Beechwood plays as many as 30 games and also over schedules, but they are not serious about baseball. In most games, the best talent doesn't play. Too many parents calling and emailing coaches about playing time, they are not doing their kids any justice in the game of life. The home dugout is not even named after a Beechwood alum, it is named after the person who supplies their uniforms, that says it all.

     

    A change at the top would eliminate most of this.

     

    Uh....now I agree that teh dugout name is a little weird but I am sure they had some reason. :idunno: But of all the coaches in Northern Ky. the guys coaching at Beechwood (Myerhoff, Baioni, and Booth) are the last ones that are concerned about parental pressure and playing certain kids over others. They are their to win!

  11. I believe it was the senior awards dinner and scholarship banquet.

    Does not excuse the lack of foresight to try and change the schedule as the baseball coaches did in this district.

    Once the seniors vacated the game, does Bellevue not have enough underclassmen to put nine players on the field? Even if they played JV during the season?

    Should Bellevue be responsible for refunding purchased tickets if a person has a ticket to show they were indeed at the game?

    Where is the Bellevue AD in all of this? NO team should be "taking votes" and making decisions without prior knowledge of the AD. If this was done with his knowledge that is unacceptable on his part. If it was doen behind his back......well.......I think a change in the program is in order.

  12. In a hard fought game the Big Trains pulled out the victory. Sophomore Zach Louden pitched a complete game shutout striking out nine and giving up only a couple of hits.

     

    Trent Rudd senior pitcher for Calvary blew through the first two innings only allowing one runner ( a walk to 8th grader Briley Seiter). He was taken out and played third to begin the third inning and Silver Grove was able to put up five runs over the next three innings.

     

    HItting leaders for the Grove included doubles by Dallas Dunaway and Billy Miller and a 1-3 performance from senior third basemen Ben Davis and a 1-2 with 2 BB from short stop Briley Seiter.

  13. Give coach Croley some time, he is the AD that voted for seeding lets give him some credit.

     

    ???? Seeding was only voted on for ONE sport and that was baseball so not sure what that has to do with anything in this thread??

  14. Sorry dude, that was Lexington Catholics JV team. It was prom night at Lexington Catholic, the varsity players went home after the Beechwood game.

     

    All he did was post the score......is this not a correct score? Not like he made comments about Brossart knocking off Lexington Catholic or pretending that they beat a team at full strength. This was a varsity game and he posted the score "dude." Not really sure why this is an issue...................
