Bishop Brossart 40 Scott 38 (37th District Semifinals)
First off, no dog in the fight and couldn't care less about the 10th Region. With that being said, IMO the rebound/tie up is definitely a foul on white, nothing more. Didn't find it overly aggressive and definitely no malice involved, just a hard foul. The backhand swing was definitely unwarranted, as #3 had white's right arm pinned and he could not get it disengaged from play. Backhand swing should have resulted in a T, but don't see an ejection was warranted. As for the other two plays on video, they are as mentioned "nothingburgers". Tough hard nosed plays, no foul on #3 in either instance.

Jeff Marksberry (Simon Kenton) is retiring from his position as Head Football Coach and AD
I can confirm he's retiring from coaching and AD. Announced to his team on Monday. I'd say he built the program from the ground up, and unfortunately has had a couple of down season, but that should not define his career. He should be proud of the job he's done as both an AD and HC.

Stephen A. Smith vs. Thom Brennaman
How exactly did you come up with "A large portion of Americans don't want to see any foreigner as "the face" of "America's Pastime,"? You may want to start that off with IMO. I do not feel this is anywhere near accurate. As a longtime MLB fan, and one who knows many MLB fans around the country, IMO, I've never found this to be the case. One thing about baseball fans, you hit it like Ohtani does and can throw it like he does, we don't care where you're from, what language you speak or what you look like, you can be "the face" of baseball all day long!

#13 Beechwood vs #2 Danville at University of Kentucky (State Playoffs- Semi-State)
Beautiful looking field from Google Earth shot.

#13 Beechwood vs #2 Danville at University of Kentucky (State Playoffs- Semi-State)
Did a little Google Maps measurements, and looks like deepest part of their park is roughly 327', in center. Down the lines are less than 300', with gaps around 300'. That's extremely small for varsity baseball. Could this negatively impact Danville playing on UK's field?

Anyone have a time for the 9th Region Tourney Drawing?

Spectator Limits for NKY
Guess the KHSAA thinks COVID cannot be spread during post season games. LOL

Spectator Limits for NKY
Just heard that most/all NKY HS baseball is limited to two tickets per player. After seeing pics from the 9th Region Basketball Tourney last week, and the packed crowds, it's hard to stomach knowing the 2 per limit for an outdoor sport. Anyone know where these guidelines came from and if there is any chatter that these limits may be loosened?

Bishop Brossart 86 Covington Holy Cross 77
Sounds like bad D, fouling and player discipline is an ongoing issue for the Indians. Meyer is a special talent, but they need discipline and that starts at the top.

New coach at Conner
IMO, great hire for Conner. Congrats Coach Hughes!

Coronavirus
Maybe I haven't been following close enough, but why should everyone that has symptoms be tested? I believe that anyone with symptoms that sees a healthcare professional, and does not need to be admitted to the hospital should be considered COVID positive and quarantined. Now after this has run it's course, or at least the first wave or two, then those people that were identified(not tested) can get the anti-body test. Just my opinion.

9th Region update
Haitz seems to be a fine coach, but has been blessed with a plethora of talent while at Ryle. Time will tell if she's a great coach. The bolded above is laughable, though. There may be a point where colleges may be interested in her services, but not "top colleges".

Conner 65 Holmes 60
I have to say, first time and probably only time I've ever seen a 7 point possession!
-
Conner 65 Holmes 60
Game was actually 56-50 when technical was called. Four free throws, then an and one on the possession. Seven point swing. Holmes coach thought there were multiple illegal screens on the possession, and called for such. Once foul was called, yelled to opposite baseline official to “call the illegal screen!”. T was called. Shocked the official called a technical. Changed the entire game.

Holmes 68 Covington Holy Cross 66 (2 OT)
I'd have to say the officials swallowed their whistles at the end of the 1st OT. I will say they also swallowed their whistles at the end of the 1st quarter, when Hicks obviously fouled Foster with a smack to the face on a jumper just above the free throw line at the buzzer. Same call at end of 1st and end of 1st OT. I'd say that's consistent. Thought the officials did a good job letting them play on both ends, and evenly called across the board.

Open Job: Ryle
Are there really home-run candidates beating down the door for this job? If so, I'd be interested in some names.
