Cuban, I'm talking to the person using this account right now and I promise you also he was much, much closer than you were.

Yea I noticed he was pretty wild too. But in all honesty Conner hitters really gave it to Sexton. They hit him quite hard.

Taylor Smith? or maybe Darrick Brilz?

I'm not sure. All season he has been wearing a compression sleeve on his throwing arm and even had one on today while he was pitching it looked like.

Thats true. His head gear was on the plate and he ran and kicked his helmet and yelled some cuss words.

I agree Marley, was Colin Johnson not available for this game?

Im right here. I just got back from Freedom in case you were wondering. Yea Dixie got beat and its been and up and down season all year long. Sexton didnt have his A game working today and the Conner hitters took advantage of it. Good job to the Cougars.

I agree. I don't think NCC will get to Bertke. I'm guessing Beechwood 4 NCC 1. Also like Solomon said Dixie does have graduation on Wednesday at 5:30. But they Seniors at Dixie said that they will play in the semi's instead of graduation if it comes to that point.

Dixie Heights has a pretty good draw also. They beat Conner last week 7-4. The Colonels threw their #5 against the Cougars and the Cougars started their #1 or #2 in Nathan Freese. They also have already beaten Cov Cath 10-3 while Cory Severson was on the mound. The Colonels threw Dematteo at them when they beat them earlier in the season. Im sticking with my word and saying Dixie Heights is my sleeper. The NCC/Beechwood game will be very interesting.

How can you predict this? Isn't this a blind draw basically, with the exception you can't play your own district?

Ryan Sexton started for the Colonels and went 4 innings and Tyler Sexton went the final 2 innings. Dixie is playing good ball right now. They're my sleeper in the region.

Who pitched for Beechwood

He probably is because I didn't get my information directly from the Liggetts themselves. My bad Marley.

He indeed does. It will be interesting to see what Coach Maxwell does this coming week.

How can you be so sure they didnt?

That is just the information I was told by another local high school coach. He told me that Coastal offered Sam.

To win the region this year you will need 3 things. I would say you need 2 very reliable solid starters, and a "shut the door" reliever. With the tourney being Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 2 good starters good get the job done. Which ever team has these 3 working hard and on the same page together will when the region. Some of the teams that I think have those are these teams: Boone County Teegarden and Laumann and as a reliever I would say Shwartz Conner Nelson and Freese and as a reliever I will take Maines CCH Maile and Shumate and as a reliever, Severson Beechwood Johnson and Bertke and in the pen will be Brilz Dixie Heights Sexton and Barnhorst and in relief will be East NCC Cain and Sullivan and in relief will be Gray.

Well I dont know if they offered scholarship money but I would assume so since they have that opportunity. Kids do that all the time. Take Sam Ligget for example, he was offered by NKU and Coastal Caroline and yet he chose Transy for his own reasons. Its just wherever you feel like home is. And I'm also certain this decision had alot to do with playing time down the road.

Brad Popham chose TMC over Transylvania University(D3) and Miami(Oh) Hamilton University Corbin Dematteo chose TMC over St. Catharine University(NAIA) and Miami(Oh) Hamilton University Tyler Sexton chose TMC over Morehead State(D1) and Lincoln Memorial University(D2) and Cumberland University(NAIA) I'm really happy for all these young men to extend their playing careers and more importantly staying together as friends and team mates. Best of luck to their futures and bring home another PAC championship and a World Series ring.

And for hja who was starting to talk about the Dixie boys in the Matt Isler thread I decided to start a thread about this. Congrats to all these young men and keep the strong Thomas More tradition going.

This is very true. I have talked to both of their parents personally.

To my understanding the next time he will throw will be the first round of regional play.

34th- Dixie Heights/Ludlow vs. St. Henry So I would say Dixie Heights will be the #1 seed and St. Henry would be the #2. I only say this because the Colonels blanked St. Henry earlier this year 10-0.

If Conner loses this game it is on NOBODY but the Cougars coaching staff. With a runner on 2nd and 2 outs with Hempel up then why not put him on first base? Especially when your up 2 runs. Instead he blasts a 400ft 2 run homerun. Dumb coaching IMHO.

Saturday its supposed to be somewhat nice.
