I see Hazard in the top 5 as well. I just don't think that they will be there in region semi-finals. It really depends on how the district shapes out. If Hazard beats PCC again. I will change my mind. I'm just not convinced, yet, that Hazard is a region favorite to win it all.

Congrats to Letcher and Tray. :thumb:

I like you. I haven't been saying KCC is young for the past 9 years. Everyone and their grandmother knows that KCC graduated 7 seniors last year. This topic has veered off of it's intended course.

Looks like Perry let this one get away from them. Good win for Montgomery.

I replied to your PM. I would put KCC in the rebuilding category. They are young. If KCC gels and gets better, they may make a showing in the district. Which, by the way, will now be held at Cordia. The reason is that Letcher's field isn't ready and the teams traded hosting years. Good luck to Hazard the rest of the season. :thumb:

I wouldn't right now. Perry had an off night. If Hazard beats another good team, then I'll put them in this discussion.

Letcher does have a good team. I believe they could be region champs again. It's between 4 teams, LCC, Estill, Perry Central, and Powell.

Sounds like Dean has some pull.

Looks like this could have been another one of those blowouts, but Jenkins took the so called "high road" and didn't run up the score. How? Well, in the 5th, the coach instructed every batter to bunt. That's ok. Every hitter could use a little bunting practice. But the hitters were told to bunt with their foot on homeplate. :irked:

Yea, they did. There are a lot of reasons for this. And I really do believe that the BOE is working on that problem. For the first time in recent years, we have players that play basketball and/or football as well.

See post #3.

My predictions 1st Round Leslie JBS Jenkins 2nd Round Cordia Leslie Hazard JBS Semi Finals Leslie Hazard Champion Hazard

Congrats LCC.

I really hope so, gchs, I really do.

Thanks for those kind words Hilltopper. :thumb: I've said it before and I'll say it again, KCC has 3 returning starters. The rest of the boys haven't played since together or have not played since Little League. It's going to be a long season. And just like Eminence, the boys held their heads high and played on. As for Clay County, they did not run up the score. Their coach and players were sportsman. Knott couldn't catch the ball nor hit the ball last night. Every team has nights where nothing goes right. Sure, not this bad, but these boys will bounce back.

I wonder if Anderson has heard of JV playing after a score gets out of hand? Let those kids get into the game and gain some much needed experience. Letting this score get out of hand was uncalled for. I applaud Eminence for sticking with it and keeping their heads held high. :thumb:

Perry Central 10 Hazard 2.

I think that they do.

Yep, Morgan was who pitched.

Both teams struggled defensively in this game.

Puckett struck out 10 in a complete game. King pitched for JBS and threw a complete game. Is it me or has Puckett pitched in 4-5 games, already, this season? I know the kid is good, but Jenkins needs to rest the kid. I was surprised that JBS didn't have Potter pitching. I think that he had pitched over the weekend and Coach King is keeping Potter rested.

Knott is struggling. They had one starter out that was sick and another that had been sick. Still it was errors that did Knott in. Leslie threw a lefty that could put the ball where he wanted. a great performance from the kid.

No doubt that Breathitt should have the better team. JC just stands out to me for some reason. Could be their coach.

Good win for the Cougars.

I really thought that Jackson City would be the better team. Still to early in the season to tell, though.
