"Boone County Rebels – Just like last year, this team doesn't pass the "eye test", but Head Coach Andy Petridis' kids "get it done". Coach P consistently plays one of the strongest schedules in NKY to prepare for post-season play. The Lady Rebels only lost one player to graduation last year, but return one of the top pitchers in the 9th Region in Jr. Olivia Jackson (DI 2nd Team) and Jr. Shelby Wright (DI 1st Team) Also returning to the starting line-up on Burlington Pike is a load of experience in Sr's. Makenna Black, Jayda Collins (DI 2nd Team), Ryley Grau (DI 2nd Team), Kamryn Huff, as well as Fr. Star Smith. Also, look for 8th grader Karys Black to see a good deal of varsity action. This is a team that you can't sleep on"
Lawnboy you did well on this one. I can tell you there is some disappointment festering from the region loss to the "Birds" last year. Thus some crazy looks I get when I bring up last year more than I Should....LOL
We have 4 seniors who are determined to end their high school career going out on top. Our 4 seniors Grau, Black, Collins and Huff have been great to work with and their work ethic is translating to the younger girls. As Lawnboy stated, we are blessed with tons of experience and I love the fact that we are 12-15 deep with summer ball players in our program. The program knows in order to win in the Spring, the hard work starts now. Each practice, conditioning, drill needs to be treated as the last inning in a regional final.
As for the schedule, I absolutely love the schedule that has been put together. I have been blessed now to coach with two great coaches who understand the tough schedule does nothing but get you ready for the postseason.
Boone has always been silent on here so I figured I might shed some light a bit. Good luck to everyone this coming year!!!!
