who would of thought MNH would go scoreless in 2 games at state! Scott County out in 2 as well. MC Cracken beat MNH 3 times this season.

Because the girls are better than the coaching staff! I don't mean that to be a complete jerk, the girls are very good.

Good thing softball is double elimination!

I like a seeding system based on ranking and strength of schedule. It's not perfect, after all, there are always unhappy teams in the NCAA who didn't make it. But we are talking about 16 teams that make it to state and 3 or more days before the tournament is played. How difficult would it be to look at 16 teams rank and schedule? The coaches poll and/or True Rank could be considered by the KHSAA. If the current system is the most objective, it's certainly not fair to the stronger teams in the state the last couple of years, IMO.

I agree wth the best playing the best. The best 2 teams should compete for the state title. That can't happen when they are eliminating one another early on.

I agree about E Jessamine. I think it will come down to E Jessamine and Warren East in the bottom bracket. Ashland has very good pitcher but the only ranked team they beat was #25 Boyd County 3 times. So I'm suspicious of their offense against tougher teams.

McCracken because of pitching but it wouldn't surprise me if they have to come out of the losers bracket to win it. That upper bracket is a bear!

The highest ranked team in the lower bracket is E Jessamine at 17. Then I believe it's 19, 22, & 24. The upper bracket has #'s 1,2,3,4,5,10, & 12. If Daviess County wins the 3rd region, they are ranked 14. If Apollo wins they at least received 41 votes in the last poll but were unranked. I wish the best of luck to all teams, these young ladies play their hearts out and coaches coach their hearts out. My problem is with how the teams are paired by the KHSAA. This has been discussed in other threads, but jeez, this years pairing are worse than last years. Not sure it could be worse if they tried.

I will apologize up front because I don't mean to offend anyone, but I doubt any team in the bottom bracket can beat any team in the upper bracket.

The softball teams 3 starting pitchers will be seniors next year. I don't know what kind of pitching they have after that.

McCracken County gets it done in the 1st region blanking Murray 6-0. Audrey Dodd gets the win giving up 2 hits and striking out 10. Jenny Chapman who pitched a perfect game against Carlisle County, Keely Barnes, and Tori Humphrey made all tourney team. Audrey Dodd takes the MVP award.

McCracken County was too much for Carlisle County winning 12-0 in 5 innings. Jenny Chapman pitched a perfect game striking out 10 of the 15 batters she faced. Kali Harris and Kelsey Henson with home runs.

From what I hear the only thing the Mustangs need to change is their 3rd base coach.

According to McCracken's schedule, that game is tomorrow night at 7:45 p.m. Still not the 9th region though.

I believe they beat McCracken 2-0 last year, but will be a tall order this year.
