Beat me to it Strike.

I haven't heard about the the Lee, Perry Central game yet.

The Jackson City VS Lee Co. and the Perry Central VS Letcher Central games have been moved to tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5 and 8. The Semi-Finals will be played on Thursday as the Championship will be played on Friday.

Congrats Matt! :thumb:

1st round of 56th District tournament.

Now this is surprising.

Eastern.

I haven't seen Harold in a couple of years. Not sure what he's doing.

I have been gone for the past few days and just found this thread. I like the proposal and there are some good suggestions by you guys. I would hope that the KHSAA will follow the proposal and get this taken care of. I've seen a lot of young pitchers throw a lot of pitches that shouldn't have. Plus, I have seen where a team or two have over used their pitchers. if the form is approved, then that would take care of that.

I don't want to say too much at this time, but the team is fighting the retirement. They don't want Hammonds to go. They have gone to the superintendent and talked to her. And they have spoken with the VP, I mean, principal. Their feelings are that Coach has done a great job with the team with what he started out with this season. Now, KCC has 3 boys that were on the team from last season. 2 are sophomores and the other a freshman. The rest came out this season and these boys haven't played baseball in a year or two, or not for up to 4 years. The team is getting there. They beat Cordia and have played good games against Buckhorn (game was suspended last night due to rain), and Leslie County this week. The Allen Central game was bad at the end. The boys played with Allen for 4 innings and actually lead the game at one point. The wheels just fell off in that game. I'd like to say a few more things, but that would just hurt the cause. And that's the last thing I want to do. If Hammonds does end up retiring, Couch will, more than likely, get the job. I don't see it going to anyone else. Unless the superintendent steps in.

Not sure. You can't tell what the "powers that be" at KCC will do.

KCC's head coach will retire after this season. Coach Hammaonds has lead the Patriots to the state championship tournament a couple of times and had the once feared team in the 14th. In recent years the program has seen a decline. Less players are coming out due to less students in Knott Central and a feeder system that is non existent. I am not sure what Coach will do after the season is done, but I hope that he can find a place where he can be better respected and have more success. I'm sorry to see a great coach leave a program that was one of the best in the state. Good luck Coach and we'll all miss you immensely. :thumb: Hammonds has coached all three of my boys. He has taught them how to play the game of baseball. With respect to game, the coach, teammates, and opponents. You show class on and off the field and play 100% every time you are on the diamond. The team was to act like gentleman wherever they stayed and/or dined. They did and they were complimented on it. It still shows today with my boys. Thanks Coach.

Congrats to OC and Paintsville. Lyons and Grimm are two great kids. :thumb:

Congrats to Paintsville. A very good win for this team. :thumb:

Walton Verona is in the 8th region and are 11-11 on the season. I'll take Hazard 6-3.

Dead ball runner gets 2nd and 3rd. How in the world would a ball get lodged in the runner's pocket? Must be one big, loose pocket.

It will.

The national ranking is based on performance and strength of schedule, while the coach's poll is popularity. Sorry about the bluntness.

A little side note to this one. The JV game was played afterwards. That score ended up being 5-1. Both teams have young players and both had most of their team playing from the varsity. 1 maybe 2 players from each varsity team did not play in the JV game.

Congrats to JBS. Moving up in the ranks in the 14th.

Whoa! Is Breathitt that good or Powell that bad? Good win for the Bobcats.:thumb:

Hazard should win easily.
