Is Cash allowed to practice with the Varsity team until he’s cleared?

He’s the son of Kevin and he also has a current 8th grade son. Both are fantastic athletes from St. Pius.

Mitchell has transferred to Thomas More.

Cool pic of Fitz and Maile, both CCH catchers.

Has Benke been practicing football this summer? I heard he was playing travel summer Baseball and AAU tourneys.

How is Leen doing after his injury last year? I originally heard he’d need labrum surgery, is that still the case? I know he’s gotten some college interest over the summer.

What a year for the talented Cov Cath catcher out of Park Hills! Jonathan Fitz, 2023 is headed to the beautiful U of San Diego this fall. Way to go young man! https://highlandcountypress.com/2023-johnny-bench-awards-winners-announced#gsc.tab=0

So excited for Willie and his family! Staying in state at the school you grew up rooting for is amazing! Plus his huge family will be close and able to go to a bunch of games. I believe his sister is headed south to play college soccer. Hoping he crushes it this year!

Owen Leen 2024 was offered by Ohio Wesleyan. Ben Reeves also Denison University. (The above players are all 2024s, not 23s, so they all still have their Senior seasons left.)

I saw the twitter post, but in all seriousness, how are they able to use this replica of CCH’s Colonel? It’s literally the exact guy with small teeny tweaks and I know CCH’s is trademarked. How long has Caverna used this logo? I can’t imagine the Park Hills crew would be happy about this, rightfully so.

Quinn Eubank, Ryle 2024, is headed to Belmont.

How has Cam Giesler looked lately? Haven’t heard too much about him in a while.

Evan Pitzer picked up an NAIA offer from a school near St. Louis, Culver Stockton College. I saw online he was at a mega camp out in Missouri a bit ago. Great job Evan and know there will be more coming!

Not sure what my thoughts are yet about Queen. He’s only played 8th grade ball and is considered SEC caliber? Parents definitely hired the QB social media squad so some of the “rankings” are paid for. Will he start at Elder as a Frosh?

Per Twitter, Emmett Queen has not touched a Varsity field and has an offer from UK. Headed to Notre Dame later this summer. Did CCH miss our big time on this one or is he overhyped ? He is a Covid holdback so a year older than other 8th graders.

Where will Ruthsatz’s son, Junior, Nolan, fit in with this team? I’d think Scott would want him to start or be first off the bench.

He is currently on UKs roster as a Freshman. Not a ton of play time though. He transferred back to Texas his Senior year. Missing family and friends is what I heard.

Did he play JV baseball for Beechwood? I know he’s on a Cincy Flames team this summer and have seen PBR tweets about him. Wonder when he’ll start practicing with CCH basketball? Or is he doing that while managing summer baseball?

A few arms I thought looked great this season: Brody Mangold Conner: went 8-1 with a great ERA of 1.44 and only loss was to Ryle. Should have a fantastic year at Wabash next year. Jack Hendrix HHS: Wow! He’s a delight to watch. 3-1 w an ERA of 1.2 Also should have a fantastic college year. Dylan McIntyre Ryle: Very impressive as a Sophomore. 7-2. Will be a big part of their rotation again next year. Chase Flahrety Beechwood: Another excellent Sophomore. 5-1, 3.39 ERA, will be fun to watch his growth. Bradley Zekl CCH: Big lefty went 5-1 with complete control over Highlands and Connor. Probably has a big summer. Brach Rice Dixie: Was 5/4 but has a presence on the mound. Shout out for his lights out performance in that heartbreaking loss. Holds some football offers. Luke Keippert St. Henry: Went 3-0 with a 1.91 ERA Nice player for St. H.

Is Reardon coming back? I know he had a stand out baseball season but wondering if he’ll be in the QB mix?

Totally baffled by this too! He could hang at a lot of higher D1s. Some of these colleges are committing 8th graders yet this guy has barely been looked at? I think schools look too young at “projectability” and lose out of fantastic players who have proven themselves by Junior or Senior years. It’s the whole PBR/Showcase thing vs actually watching a kid play.

Now that the tourney is over, what are thoughts on this? My list would be: 1: Cam Boyd Beechwood 2: Jonathan Fitz CCH 3: Jack Hendrix Highlands 4: Matt Kappes Beechwood 5: Brody Mangold Conner 6: Dylan McIntyre Ryle 7: Ethan Bosley Dixie 8: Bradley Zekl CCH 9: Brayden Stidham Conner 10: Jason Dorning Holy Cross 11: Carson Shea St Henry 12: Ryan DeBurger Highlands
