Lawrence may be the #1 this year but I would say Marcum was the number one last year he certainly in my estimation pitched against tougher teams with less run support. At the tournament, Marcum quite possibly could have been MVP with the performances he had if they had won the championship. S.K. is returning a good core group of players this season. I do agree that they may not return to state, but its not out of the realm of possibility. This is looking to be an interesting season and I for one will be happy when it begins.

Listen, I am still standing behind Throwing Curves........and if some have coached 30 plus years then you should understand you wanna play your best ball at the end of the season NOT THE BEGINNING. Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if its coming from left field and full of nonsense. you guys on here argue about the past like it happened different, if we done this or if we had done that. Bottom line and you all can eat it S.K. was runner up and their wasn't 9th region team in the finals. Still you say that any 9th region is all that, take off the blinders and stop drinking the cool-aid.

Just to add to Throwing Curves I also felt that S.K. flew under the radar. Mediocre is just a phrase used by a sore loser who was unhappy their team didn't exceed expectations and choked when it really mattered. I know most of you ride the 9th region like they are the region to beat. Fact is Conner won and none of you even gave them a chance in the 9th. S.K. and oh last year I even said Scott was underrated, you folks downed the 8th region like there was no competition. I would stack the 8th against the 9th and from top to bottom pound for pound the 8th has more quality teams. S.K. did not and I repeat did not have an easy bracket and Marcum shut down 2 of the better teams in the state. Lawrence had a very strong outing against the best team in the state, so for you guys that like to play home team favorites and never give good teams their due, how did it feel watching the state tournament from home.

Thecloser replied to nkuclubbaseball19's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
In all this back and forth over who should have been the best team in nky, history is gonna show SK went further than any other team did a testament to a team that played great team ball when it mattered. -
Simon Kenton 2 Southwestern 1 (KHSAA State Tourney)
Thecloser replied to BaseballIsLife's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
Heard S.K. left as many as 6-7 runners in scoring position. Marcum once again showed he is their most consistent and best pitcher. -
Simon Kenton/Southwestern Predictions June 2nd 6pm

I like S.K. in this one they are putting it together. Saw the Collins game Marcum had a 2 run hit to put the game away for good. -
Who are some of the top pitchers this year?
Thecloser replied to Throwingcurves's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
I would say you get the most out of Combs at first base , you definitely need his bat. He is not mobile enough to play outfield. -
Who are some of the top pitchers this year?
Thecloser replied to Throwingcurves's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
I'd throw in Combs (Beechwood), King (Dixie), Dunn (Cooper), Gannes (Boone), and Marcum (Simon Kenton). I am sure there are others, but I've seen these guys throw. Marcum was the feature of an article recently written by James Weber in the Community Press after a strong complete game shutout of Bellevue. I know Dunn and Gannes are committed D-1 and Marcum is committed to UC Clermont. Those three will be continuing their careers beyond high school as they should I believe they are that good. -
Shelby County 7 Simon Kenton 4
Thecloser replied to blueandblack14's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
I think so too. Seems they are finding out who they are as a team. The coach is playing around with lineups for what reason he did this with a team in his region is beyond me, but you do at some point have to see what you have in reserves and what lineup works the best together. -

I guess SK is not going to get any respect. -

Simon Kenton 12 Holmes 2 (5 innings)
Thecloser replied to Throwingcurves's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
Good game Holmes was out classed ending in a 10 run rule bottom of the 5th inning. Collins comes to town this week should be a good one. -
Simon Kenton's Tristen Marcum and Michael Mundy commit.
Thecloser replied to Thecloser's topic in KY Baseball (High School)
UC Clermont moving to NAIA shold get those guys some more attention. -
I completely agree those two not being in the top fifty is a travesty. I believe one of the players on this list could not beat Marcum out for #1 in summer ball pitching rotation.
