Good job Cougars!

Conner up 9 to 1 on Boone

Better keep a eye on Conner. Starting to show sign of life. The record might not show it. But theybeat Cov Cath and Tates Creek this week.

It is far from being determined what this 8th grade class will do at varsity. I am also sure that most people thought the same way every year for the last 3 years that Conner wouldnt be able to continue winning out. 67 and 4 and taking every teams best shot. Its pretty impressive.

Here's my point Coach Stamm is a better coach than he gets credit for. The Lady Cougars are going to be a very tough team to beat this coming season if they can stay healthy. They have some strong returning players and some very talented younger players. Boone and Ryle are not going to be the dominate teams they have been over the last couple of years.

No Boone did not win JV tourney this past season. New Cath won

Clyde lets take Boone Co as a example. They graduate starters Moss, Zuri Hill, Lydia Nash and E Switzer. 4 of there 5 starters. Who replaces them this coming season? Ford, Knots, Popp, Mullins, Mcqueary, Murphy take your pick. All of them were on varsity last season and got varsity minutes. But they played JV they started JV. Now Boone county's JV is Varsity. So how can you say you dont put much stock in it. And i am not talking about freshman teams.

Sorry Clyde I disagree. I put a lot of stock in what younger teams have done in the previous season. Because seniors graduate and freshman, sophmores, and juniors move up.

Conner's JV has been in the championship game for the last 2 years. The incoming freshman class lost only 4 games in 3 years (only lost 1 game in 2 years before Gambrel and Hendricks moved up to high school). The talent pool has shifted to Conner. Not saying Boone and Ryle wont be good. But Moss era and Crittenden era are over. Coach Stamm didnt have division 1 players during his 2 years. And he was 6 minutes away from taking Ryle with a division 1 player.

Never said juniors carried the team to championship last year. And Roberts was a outstanding player and leader. Not many teams can replace a 400 plus hitter and his glove. But Roberts wasn't only player on the field and he didn't take all of Conners at bats and he didn't pitch. The " mainly Roberts" comment last I checked baseball is a team sport. As for 1 stud on the mound ,unless he has a rubber arm and can pitch every other game I'll take 4 solid pitchers which Conner does have.

If Dawn isn't the best player who is?

They graduated 5 from last years team. But have the same starting pitching Freese, Nelson, and Maines. Don't get me wrong I am not saying they are taking it all. But I like there chances and certainly would have them ranked higher than 7th in NKY.

Not showing to much love for Conner? 2 years ago the JV won the 9th as sophomores. As juniors made it to the championship game. Now as seniors you have them listed 7th? Mendoza do you really follow high school baseball? By the way they also knocked out Cov Cath last year.
