Who y'all got?

I decided to see what anybody knew about smaller schools in Northern Kentucky, such as Villa, Calvary, Silver Grove, Latin, Augusta, St. Patrick, Dayton, etc. What players are there? Who has a promising season?

When Bolden gets back from his injury, that will open up a lot of connections.

Love how all teams had a preview. Even the small schools.

I heard CCH looked flat out awful tonight. And I heard about them beating GCL teams over the summer so this is obviously a bad game, and I still think Cov Cath will win region. But anyway congrats to Cooper on a big win.

I don't like it. Some of these kids pay a ton of money to play travel summer ball and this cuts in to their time as it ends in mid-late June.

Good for Zach, he's a good pitcher.

Does anybody know anything about this conference? I think there may only be a few teams in it. I'm pretty sure Calvary is in it and I heard that a team or two may be joining it for 2016. It sounds like a small school thing.

For the shutdown pitcher at CCH I think Robert Young may deserve that spot. He only had one start last year (in the high school season, he relieved a lot) but he is one heck of a pitcher. I saw him pitch in the quarterfinals of the Buckeye Elite tournament in Columbus for summer ball with the Force, and he threw a flat out gem. He threw a one hit shut out against a very good ball team. He looked straight up nasty. Also, there were scouts watching him in that game. It looks like colleges are trying to get him.

Did Rob Newman make it to the Majors?

Just wondering... But will Luke Maile become the first Cov Cath player to play a game in the majors? I saw a story about an old guy that got called up, but never got in, and I've heard about minor leaguers, but I didn't know about the big leagues.

Nobody has ever scored on their defense.

Covington Latin has been undefeated in football since 1923. They are a solid 0-0.

Kentucky Force or Ohio Force?

Eh, I guess it could be an opinion. He was a good ballplayer so you might as well throw him in there.

Darius Miller could be in the conversation.

Team with the best history? Best players ever? Best coaches? Cinderella runs? Underdogs? Best stories?

Zach Friend from Cooper was a junior.

Here are some players: Highlands: Mark Walkenhorst, Connor Kreeger; Cov Cath: Tyler Langguth, Nick Stegman; Beechwood: Kyle Rowe, Brett Slusher.

Oops I didn't mean to double that. I don't know how that happened.

One time I was at a tournament in Indiana. It was a select team tournament but the local Little league all stars were there. They obviously weren't Williamsport material, but they finished dead last. I don't know how much that says, though. Again, those kids probably weren't ready. Anyway, I still love watching Little league.

I just wanted to see what level you all thought the LLWS teams would be in Southwest Ohio. My guess is American Gold. There are certainly some National League players (and possibly teams), but I don't think that it is a complete elite AABC type competition. For any of those who are wondering, the teams in the Little League World Series are made of all-star teams. Many of the players also play travel ball along side their Little League squads.

I think the first round is mostly based on pitching.

Did Ziegelmeyer score the winning run? Or did they have a pinch runner? I thought Ziegelmeyer scored it but I also heard that Andrew Louden ran for him.
