Edmondson will have to do a little more on the defensive side of the court if he is going to play a lot of minutes for the Wildcats. It is one thing to be a decent shooter, but he will have to play some defense also.

It is great to hear that the Wildcats are having a good season. Keep it up!

Why wasn't he at Trimble Co. for very long?

:argue: It's April 12th, please only post accurate info

:eek:

Congratulations to the Wildcats. Hopefully more wins will follow.

The game is played at Thomas More. I believe it is sometime around April 15, but don't know for sure.

Congratulations to Coach Carr and staff on a great season.

I didn't know they won the district that year. Had it been a long time before that when they won their last district title? I appreciate the info, as the Wildcats will be getting a mention in my column this week.

The Wildcats were also 29-3 that year, and lost a heartbreaker in the 1st round of the Region.

Congratulations on the Wildcats win over Owen!

Congratulations to Coach Jones and staff!

Congratulations Dan. A lot of people are very proud.

Benny is a classy guy, and Ludlow's biggest fan. Ludlow is lucky to have him.

quoted this exact following statement:

 

"The public schools, for such lunacy, have no tradition and no pride and they have dumbed down the curriculum………….so why stop there? If you can’t compete in the classroom or the playing field, change the rules and you won’t have to compete. Just instill mediocrity. But at least the teachers and administrators won’t have to do anything except draw a paycheck paid by our tax money."

Is this a quote from a private school educator? If so, they have no clue what hard working teachers, coaches, and administrators do for public schools.

Dayton-Bellevue is a good one.

Gallatin-Carroll is the greatest rivalry in all of sports. Yankees-Red Sox, Auburn-Alabama, Kentucky-Louisville? They all pale in camparison.

I would agree the Gallatin-Carroll is a good one.

Actually fast pitch is such a pitcher dominated game that you only need one superior pitcher to become instantly competitive with the better teams.

 

If you have a pitcher and someone who can catch behind the plate you really don't need that many hitters or fielders to be in most games.

 

So small schools won't have a giant hill to climb if they have a pitcher.

Well maybe they might not have interest in other things. You can't just force your self to like something else. If they take that away it would just be wrong and they shouldn't do it there buddy. :fire:

When it is time to change the sport, then the kids either adapt to the changes, or they don't play. If they don't like the new rules, then they don't play. It is that simple. Many years ago, girls basketball changed, and the girls adapted to the new rules. There are many small schools in the state of KY that offer fastpitch softball. Carroll Co, Trimble Co, Gallatin Co, Owen Co, Henry Co, and Brossart are some to name a few.

My mother played fast-pitch softball in HS in the '60s. She was absolutely floored to find out that they still played slo-pitch at some schools.

Because a lot of these schools also don't have youth teams that have fast pitch, so they wouldn be learning how to play until high school, and by that time its a little to hard to learn. So most of these small school would just get destroyed, and so most of them probably would either just not play or quit because it just no fun to go out their and get beat everyweek. I know fast pitch is more exciting, but when did all sports start to have to be fun for the FANS to watch for it to exist. It really shouldn't matter to what the fans would rather watch, it should matter about what the atheletes like to do. I agree every school should atleast offer fast pitch, because that would give girls who are interested in it a chance to maybe get a scholarship in it. But we should not just get rid of slow pitch completely, because alot of girls just play because they enjoy it and have fun, and not care about if they get the opportunity to get a scholarship in slow pitch. The last I checked that is all that matters in sports is for the students to have fun while playing. A lot of these girls slow pitch is the only sport they play, so if you take that away then they wont be doing anything at all except sitting around. So to just take it away completely is just wrong and not fair to many of these girls.

You do not need youth teams to field a fast pitch softball team. If slowpitch is the only sport they play, then maybe they need to develop interests in other things, besides "sitting around." :flame:

Why wouldn't he be?

He was not at last week's game.
