Not surprising. Some would say this is why the Astros organization is what it is today.

Congrats to Timmy. :thumb:

Great article.

Prayers for his family, friends, and team.

Knott played at Jenkins this past season and the field looked OK. It was having to deal with the wind that was a problem.

Congrats to both Tommy and Caleb. :thumb:

Congrats to Brad. :thumb:

Congrats to these young men.:thumb:

About time. These kids and Coach Dean have worked hard the past couple seasons and deserve a quality field.

Hammonds is still teaching at Knott, so I'm assuming he'll be coaching as well. :thumb:

Interesting read on a hot topic. Killer Bats

Great news! Tony's grandfather is doing much better after the stint surgery. He should get to come home in a few days. Thanks for the prayers and the get well wishes. :thumb:

Thanks for the prayers. The family really appreciates them. Tony's grandfather is doing ok at this time. I believe the surgery will be sometie tomorrow. I'm hoping to hear from Tony in the morning. I'll keep you updated.

My nephew who is on Knott's baseball team is needing a prayer tonight. His grandfather is being sent to Lexington's Central Baptist for a blockage in his heart. Remember Tony in your prayers.

Congrats to Josh. :thumb:

Gald to hear that Robert will be ok.

Tell you what, if I promise to make it and Strike promises to make it, Strike will buy the brats. :thumb:

Congrats to Ashland! They beat a very good Oldham Aces Junior team.

Logan Robbins from Appollo high school is on the roster for the Chicago White Sox Area Code team that will play in Long Beach, California Area Cose games. The games will be played in August (5-10). Congrats to Logan. :thumb: CWS Area Code Roster

The latest I have is that the people over the Oldham Aces had that put in ther paper. They want him to stay and he is listening to them. As of right now he is still Knott Central's coach. The update on the junior team Hammonds is coaching may add more fuel to the fire. The Junior Oldham Aces won the Paducah tournament last week being the only team that was undefeated. They are in Owensboro starting today (playing Shelbyville) in the state tournament. If they win this tournament the Aces will go to Oklahoma in 2 weeks. I'm assuming for the American Legion League World Series. One last thing, Hammonds likes for his teams to be competitive. Knott hasn't been competitive in the last few years. Even with some very good talent on the team they have only won the 55th District once in the last 5 years, give or take. They were once the most feared team in the 14th and now they are not. And it is looking like the future isn't too bright for baseball at KCC. They will only have 6 returning starters and no players on the bench. It's no secret that the other to main sports at KCC have head coaches that tell their players not to go out for baseball. It's a waste of time. And nothing is said to these guys. Anyway, with all this facing Gary and the success that he is having with his Oldham team, I will assume that Knott will have a new baseball coach come February. That just my opinion, though.

I am going to do what I can to find out, but according to the Louisville Courier Journal Knott Central may be looking for a new coach. It has, 1/2 way down the article that Hammonds is the "former Knott Central hall of fame baseball coach. Could be a mistake. I have heard some things but I could not get any confirmation. I will try to contact Coach Hammonds and see for sure or contact Knott's AD to see if he knows anything. Hammonds has spent the Summer coaching the Oldham Aces junior team. Oldham Aces

Knott County has Little League. It was once AABC, which I prefer.

I said PCC because the way the fans were after the death of a family member of one of the other teams. That was class in my book. I still know about the other things. :thumb: I'll take the 5th on the last question. :sssh:

Anyone in this area know a team? If you look around on the net, you can find a few. The Cincy Flames are a good team. They have several different age groups. Cincy Flames
