College View wins Owensboro Hoopfest by defeating Owensboro Catholic 61-58.

Another stunning defeat for Henderson North tonight, massacre by Owensboro Catholic 61-43. North had won two previos games this year inc a 10 point victory last weekend in the Bulldog Classic Tourament. Interesting that OC had three refs for the game, a little unusual for middle school games.

Henderson North 8th grade boys who were undefeated gets blown out by College View 48-34.

College View loses to Muhlenberg South by 3 - South very strong - other Western

Ky. 8th grade teams worth mentioning include Davies County, Owensboro Middle and Henderson North

College View’s boys 8th grade team appears to be one of the best if not the best in the Owensboro and surrounding area

Who are best teams in Western Kentucky?

Union County wins 6th District for first time since 2000. Kale Gaither led the Braves with 25 points, Corey Stewart had 19 points for Henderson County.

Cade Duncan led the Braves with 25 points and 15 rebounds, Kale Gaither had 20 points.

Tyler Camplin led Webster County with 29 points. Union County will not be an easy out in the 2nd Region Tournament. Union and Henderson County will meet in the 6th final.

Disregard, I assume this is the one in Henderson County.

Not Henderson County North Middle School.

Not the Henderson County North Middle School. Henderson County North won their conference regular season and Conference tournament, finished the season 22-1, avenged their only loss in the second meeting and again in the conference tournament. Not sure why they would not play in 7th grade State Tournament.

Tigers way too much for the Braves. Caldwell by a bunch. That ole Tiger overlooking the field very confident in this contest.

Christian’s Lane Diuguid throws a no hitter to defeat Union County 6-1 for the second region title.

Union County beats Trigg County 4-1 to advance to it’s third straight regional final and will face Christian County who beat Henderson County 4-3. Christian looking for revenge as Union has outed the Colonels the past three seasons in the region. Union Coach Chad Robison threw Davis Corbett who had only thrown 14-15 innings all season and he no-hit Trigg for the victory.

Has to be a disappointing season for Henderson, with a veteran senior class of 8, five of whom have signed to play at the next level and a junior class of 10, several who will play at the next level. Henderson, one of the largest schools in the state, always loaded with talent. Regional final tomorrow at 6:30.

Did Burns throw for Caldwell?

No, Jace Felker started and took the loss.

Union County upset Caldwell County 10-6 in first round action today.

I know these players and Hutchison would be my choice with Burns a very close second. Hutchison and Burns will be playing at Murray next year and Melton will be at Olney Central.

Strong showing by the Colonels for first win in this early season. There are good reasons why this team is considered one of the heavy favorites in the region and got votes for top 20 in the state by the first Coaches poll. A veteran team with 7 seniors and a loaded junior class of eight, not to mention couple of the best sophomores in the region and a very good freshman who hit one out of the park today. Five of the 7 seniors have already signed to play at the next level. To say this is a loaded team would be an understatement.

Have been the real deal past two years, winning the region over Union County both years. Interesting but first coache's poll they did not get any votes for top 20 but

Henderson did.

Henderson shut out in five inning loss.

Because I don't like the way these guys are trying to torpedo the KHSAA and infringe on the KHSAA's authority with the way they chose to name this tournament. It's an underhanded move. Think about if this was a football tournament...how would the folks over in Danville feel after winning the actual 2A state championship title if there was another football team going around and bragging on how they had won "the Kentucky 2A Championship"?

 

I realize the sports this tournament is going for don't have KHSAA divisions that split them into 1A, 2A and so on, but I have zero doubt in my mind that these folks named their tournament very intentionally to have the sound of being an official, real-deal state championship in those sports being served by their tournament organization - which also designedly incorporates all of the major sports that only have one single KHSAA state title.

 

Suppose the KHSAA does decide to expand the state soccer tournament to have two divisions someday. Then if they try to stick with their standard 1A/2A division format, they could find themselves in a trademark battle with these folks. No doubt that was a 100% intentional move on the part of the folks putting on this tournament. That's a subversive, slime-ball move. And that's why I said what I said.

Of course you have your view of this and the points you make are well taken but why call people names, probably people you don't know and never met? I do know a couple of these men and their intent is and was good. I assume they had a lot of support or it would not have been done. They are not slime balls. That's just my opinion and I would say the opinion of many. Anyway, Thanks for your reply and have a great evening.
