Tuff break for Rock when quarterback Chayse Mcclure got hip pointer on opening kick off. Rocks best player and best cover man could only hand off and no defense

Knox has a new running back from Bourbon County and people I have talked to think he could be the difference in the game. He looked good in first game against Rock at Danville when he played for Bourbon.

Truly bad news for the Rock faithful and for Clark. We wish him nothing but the best and it has been a joy watching him the last 3 years. We will see if the rest of the team can rise to occasion and finish out the season as champs. I can think of nothing that would make Clark prouder !!

I will agree with the previous post. The loss of Rowe tilt's the game in Knox Centrals favor. Rock has manned up and beat two pretty good teams without him but no one as physical as Knox. Should be a good game.

One thing I do know. If I never see the substitute ref from Bowling Green that filled in on that crew last night it will be soon enough for me.

Congratulations to Rock. I too was surprised by Russell Countys lack of a running game. I had been led to believe otherwise. Fun game to watch . Just shows you can totally dominate a game and its possible to hand it away with turnovers. Russell was close to winning although they were probably outgained 4 to 1. I thought BB Bradley game Rock a tremendous lift on both sides of the ball when turnovers had them beat down mentally. Hopefully Rowe will be able to return for the Knox Central game they are certainly going to need him to have a legitimate shot. Russell has lots of younger players and is just going to get better and better. The lakers just ran into a mismatch on the line of scrimmage!

I thought #28 Bradley played really well for the Rockets. He had a bunch of tackles and ran the ball really hard. Hope he can keep in up next week!!

Maroons have lots of offense and will handle the Rock much as they have the last 2 years. Rock can stay with them for half but then wears down and game is over. It will be closer than last year because Pulaski is missing a couple of key players. Pulaski 28 Rock 14.

Frankforts speed will be too much for Rock. Sheldon Clark was slow and over-rated. Rock line will not be able to get a push on Frankfort. Frankfort 28-Rock 7.

I heard that Sheldon Clark had a quarterback and running back move in this year. Anyone else know if its true. Very exciting if true, could help out with all the losses from last year.

I hate to disagree but 9 of Lexingtons 11 came in first 3 innings and we were behind 9-8 going into the 4th inning.

The Danville Mustangs scored 66 runs in 4 games and gave up 26 runs in 4 games. Even with the sticks they have they will have to have much better pitching than that to compete in Regionals.

Congratulations to Rockcastle County's John Saylor for being voted 12th region player of the year and also leading the state in home runs with 17. This was a very strong region with several excellent players . Good luck to John and I hope him all the best in college at LMU.

I have seen several high school teams this spring and I think LMU got a steal. This kid strokes the ball despite being consistently pitched around. Good luck at LMU John.

I think the Saylor kid from Rockcastle has 17, but most of them have been on the road. This is pretty impressive considering they have played less than 25 games.

That Rockcastle kid they were talking about would be John Saylor. He is of to a real good start with .596 average ( 31-52) and 13 home runs in their first 15 games. Looks like rains outs will hamper his numbers more than the new bats , but he is a fine hitter none the less. John hadn't played any summer baseball due to football for about 5 years until he played with Morse Mustangs 18u. last summer. Playing year around for the first time really seems to have picked up his game .

I was at Southwestern Friday and the Rockcastle coaches told me they had a player who had 13 home runs in the first 15 games this year despite being walked several times. Bats must still have quite a bit of pop in high school!!

I have been going to lady rocket games for several years. Angie Lawrence was a very good high school player at Rock, much as J. Abney, T. Rowe, Heather, Whitey, M. Saylor or Alexander were. Sarah Rowe was perhaps a notch up and helped our program stay at a high level. Sara Hammond was a once in a lifetime player and the coaches did a tremendous job with what they were blessed with. She allowed the Rock to knock on the door in 2010 and break it in in 2011. The hard part for coach Noble will be keeping an inexperienced program in the top 3-4 teams in the 12th region. If anyone can it wil be Coach Noble, because of her Rockcastle is a program and not a team.

I would certainly agree with Lasure and Saylor. I saw the Mustangs play several games last summer and those 2 can flat stroke the ball. In my opinion both of these boys are major college hitters who need to work some on their defensive skills.

Rockcastle 75 Madison Central 42. This game will be over in the first half. Too much Sara Hammond

I am pleased to see Sara get the recognition she deserves. She is truly one of the elite players in the nation, and a class act all the way around. I'm sure lots of local 12th fans will be glad to see your reign of terror end after 6 years . Good luck and hope you win state!

E-town beat Marion County by 10 points recently. If Rock beats E-town by 10 or more this would be a statement game in my book.

Rock could have won by 30+ if they left they wanted to. If Madison Central, Scott County and Bryan Station are the better teams in 11th region then Rockets will have a cake walk to open up the Sweet 16. Sarah Hammonds looked like a woman playing with little girls and could score any time she felt like it. If she wasn't unselfish she could have scored every time she touched it. E-town better come to play or that game will be over in the first half just like Madison Central and Bryan Station. I hate to say it this early but state championship is the Rockets to lose at this point. I just can't see anybody playing with them.

Ditto wo what nearus150 said. This is a huge hire for Bell football in my opinion. Coach Mills was the heart and soul of Knox Centrals football program and will be hard to replace.

To my knowledge Hammonds is the only girl on Rocks team to be offered by a D1.
