  1. Eh...worth reading and I guess she sort of figured herself out, but she came across as selfish throughout.
  2. Murray State wasn’t going to get a hit against that Arkansas pitcher if they played all night. He was dominant. That said…that’s a hit by pitch on the lead off man in the 9th inning and I can’t be convinced otherwise.
  3. Started strong, finished poor. Interesting historical fiction about Christopher Marlowe, but I believe the author took too many liberties. She does outline the changes of fact made in an epilogue at the end of the book.
  4. Former Breathitt County quarterback in the late 1990s? Played after Chapman and before Haddix, so didn't win a state title, but had huge numbers on some very good teams.
  5. Kind of... Linked is the agenda from the last Board of Control meeting. If you scroll down to 6.3.2.2 you'll see Disqualification Report and Comparison. There are two charts: one by sport, one by school. Specific student names are not mentioned. (Keep in mind, this was before the state tournament so my guess is it is not up-to-date). https://portal.ksba.org/public/Meeting.aspx?PublicAgencyID=4374&PublicMeetingID=49497&AgencyTypeID=1 That same information should theoretically be available on the KHSAA website. However, the current link gives the information for 2023-24, but not for 2024-25. https://khsaa.org/media-reports-stats-pubs/disqualifications/
  6. Maybe an ambassador-type position similar to what they had in mind for Calipari? I know Stoops has good relationships with donors, although I'm not sure he's really the ambassador type. Bottom line, UK was in a bit of a tough spot anyways, and seeing Vince Marrow leave doesn't really help.
  7. I'm glad the call was overturned - it wasn't interference. However, I was sensing the worse that Duke would hit a 2-run homer and win the game. I'm glad the call ultimately didn't matter.
  8. I enjoyed this. It was conversations with British soccer players about life for athletes in the 1950s and 1960s before salaries became astronomical. Many of them held second jobs in the season. Some retired quite poor and had to continue to work beyond their soccer career. That said, all seemed very happy with their lot in life. I'm sure there are similarities with American sports from the time period as well. Good read!
  9. What I didn’t like is they didn’t call anything until they realized the goalie was hurt, then they made the call. It looked more like an awkward fall by both players rather than interference.
  10. I watched every minute of Game 1 and every minute of regulation of Game 2 last night before I had to call it a day. I'm rooting for the Oilers so kinda glad I didn't watch overtime! I think this may go seven games again and I wouldn't be surprised if every game goes into overtime. They seem like very even teams.
  11. I'd probably pick the same, although McCracken County did win at PRP and lost a tight 2-1 decision to Trinity during the regular season. McCracken has been good since they opened, playing in the state tournament 11 times in 12 years (their only absence was the canceled 2020 season). They lost in the finals in 2019, 2021, and 2024 and have yet to win it. This might be their year.
  12. No, but the layout of the tournament is different, too. The first round games are Thursday and Friday with the quarterfinals on Saturday. The semifinals and finals are the next Friday and Saturday. You'll see good pitching from every school in the first round but don't expect to see home runs - the big park swallows up long fly balls. I really enjoy going to the semifinals and finals. It is high level baseball and the crowds are excited. Baseball will never draw the crowds of basketball or football, but they play it at UK, which is a terrific place to watch a game. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't been to make the trip.
  13. Second region title in three years and 23rd championship overall for Harrison County. Thorobreds won in 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2023, and now 2025. Nine times they advanced out of the old sectional format to the state tournament and this year marks their fourth trip straight to the state under the current format. Harrison County won titles in 1993, 1997, 1998, and 2010 and were runners-up in 1984 and 1987.
