Pendleton County might want to think about sacrificing a lamb or something next year.. This is the sixth consecutive year that Pendleton has beaten Nicholas in the regular season, and then lost in the first round of districts to them. There seems to be some kind of curse on Pendleton County baseball.

Congrats to DJ. Good fit for him.

If it's grades, I don't see Johnson not qualifying for the NCAA clearinghouse, but getting into Georgetown.

Did Bopper play basketball his Freshman or Sophomore year? I remember him coming onto the scene his Junior year and starting for that State Tournament team, but I didn't remember him before that.

This win makes Tyler Daugherty 7-2 on the year. Pendleton has some momentum rolling into districts, winning their last 6 games, and 10 of their last 12.

Baseball stats are hard to find. I can't find anything for Chase Mullins, but the fact that he's going to UK to pitch shows that he's pretty good. I could only find stats for Harrison County through the midpoint of the season. Jordan Martin was 5-0 with 37 K's, 4 BB's, and a 1.62 ERA in 26 IP through 18 games. He beat Chardon (OH), Mason County, Scott, and Nicholas County. He was the winning pitcher his Freshman year two years ago in the State Championship.

This was Jordan Martin's first loss of the season. 8 runs on him is a very impressive number. He is a future high D1 pitcher.

Mullins is signed to pitch at UK next year. Jordan Martin has his choice of a lot of D1 offers, as he's only a Junior this year.

I agree. Pendleton's assistants are very strong coaches.

Coach Cravens will meet with the team at 3:30 today. Coach Cravens was a boys basketball assistant or head coach from 1984-1997 at Lincoln County, Silver Grove, and Campbell County. He was the head girls basketball coach at Campbell County from 1997-2011. During this time he compiled a 216-167 record. He won 5 district championships, made 5 Regional Semifinals Appearances, and won one Regional Championship (2003) during his 14-year tenure at Campbell County. He will keep assistants Jon Wirth, Brent Sowder, and Craig Smith on board. He will also add assistant Keaton Belcher to his staff.

From 1984-1997 Cravens was either assistant or head boys basketball coach at Lincoln County, Silver Grove, and Campbell County.

Stapleton is officially gone to West Jessamine.

I was told today to expect an announcement in the next 24 hours. The storm is over. However, I also had heard we'd have an announcement 10 days ago, so maybe we're just in the eye of the storm.

Senior Jared Rering started for Pendleton in game one, going 2 innings. Sophomore Trevor Turner pitched the next 4 innings, and Freshman Mack Ramsey closed the game out. Freshman Josh Brown threw a complete game for Pendleton in game 2.

Thomas More's season ended yesterday. They started the year ranked 14th in the nation, but were beaten in the PAC conference tournament. They finished the year at 26-16.

There are still a lot of people in the community angry with Mike Reitz.

One of the names I've heard as well.

Just wake me up when there's a new head coach. I've heard about six names as the supposed frontrunner in the last three days. I've given up on trying to stay updated.

Hearing a lot of different things. Nothing official yet though.

Decision could be made as soon as this afternoon. Stay tuned.

Interviews were held Saturday and Monday I believe.

Brent Jacob threw a complete game 5-hitter for Pendleton County. Harrison County scored all 3 of their runs with two outs in the 3th inning.

I don't mean bigger name in coaching. I just mean bigger name in the same sense as if Williamstown had hired Ramel Bradley. He's a big name because he was a standout at UK, but has no coaching experience at the high school level.

Williamstown got a bigger name hire. Coaching experience obviously goes to Happy.

Absolutely. Set success aside in that situation. That job's a snake pit.
