Great job girls! Way to start off the season! Congrats to Clark, Meade and Sexton too!

I also heard a month or so back, that Euton and Jackson were leaving,,,but they weren't the only ones. My source didn't elaborate and I didn't ask.

What a great letter!

I knew better than to think Floyd would give GC a fleeting thought.

Let's go EC!

Thanks Les! You are doing a great job!

Congrats to Coach Floyd! and to Coach Baker and all the players that made the team!

Congrats to each of the girls and to Coach Tackett!

Best wishes to the Eutons! My own children go to college in Lexington and if either of us lost our jobs, we would also move that direction. In fact, it is still a possibility. It is tough for any 16 year old to change schools, much less one that is a stand out like Dakota. Good luck Eutons!

Good question, LBBC. I'm not a coach, but I heard one coach say a few seasons ago that it didn't matter if there was a 2 man crew or a 3 man crew. I said I felt a 3 man crew covered the game better. The coach said it sometimes just gives the crew as a whole some breathing room, and thus they miss some calls the 2 man crew would have caught because they had to be "more on their toes."

Wow, sounds like this was a great game! I must say I am surprised at how close this was. Great season for the Kittens! Congrats and Good Luck at Diddle, Lady Vikings!

It should be a great game. Rowan by 7 in a very physical game.

Over the past few years, Raceland has been to Cocoa Expo, Disney World of Sports, and last year to the Myrtle Beach tournament. I personally liked the Disney trip best, but I was very surprised how much we liked the Myrtle Beach trip. Ofcourse we had excellent weather, but that time of year in Myrtle Beach, good weather is no guarantee. Cocoa Expo was my least favorite, but I hear a new softball complex will be used. It was actually built in Titusville, a few miles north of Cocoa.

Ofcourse I have to take my Lady Rams over Ashland and Rowan County over Morgan. If Ashland wins and plays Rowan, Rowan will win by 12+. I don't think it will be a close game.

There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that Samantha Sparks is a clutch performer. She has proven that many times over in the last 5 years. I personally have enjoyed watching her play. Good luck Sam, in the upcoming softball season and also as you begin your college career.

great job, Marissa!

Wow, the score indicates a very tough defensive game.

Boyd takes the lead at 2-0. Rowan County passes them and never looks back. Congrats Rowan on the win.

Congrats to Morgan Co. GoRadio reported that all three winners so far the champions of their districts. If Rowan wins, it'll make all four.

I can't say enough for Trimble and Co. He took over a good foundation from Sexton and continued to build on it and has turned it into a school record setting team. Good luck Lady Rams and stay injury-free for the rest of this season.

That thought crossed my mind last night, GR. Besides, not many girls make it to the region every year, so getting to play at MSU in the 'big gym' is a big deal to some. Also it is a neutral court and gives no team a home advantage.

Ugly, Ugly game. There was much confusion on a few different occassions during the game last night, for both teams, I felt. As for the officiating, I thought the first game's crew was much better. During both games, however, the players kept sliding all over the floor. Many, many walks went without being called. That alone could have changed the outcome of the game. Also, I didn't think the officials let the girls play ball. I am not sure of the total fouls, but during the Raceland game, it seemed the whistle was blowing like crazy. I know both teams were in the bonus in both halves of the game. As for the venue, GoRadio, I can't ever remember disagreeing with you, but I have to this time. It was nostalgic of sorts, and that I liked but I heard many comments about how dark it was. My girls had driven up from Transy and asked if that is where the MSU teams played when I went there. I answered, "Not quite." LOL I will be glad to be back at Johnson on for the next game. I understand from a tournament director that MSU didn't know until last Thursday that their boys would be playing at Johnson on Monday and Tuesday. Stephenson and crew did a good job pulling everything together at the 13th hour.

From The Daily Independent: “Raceland is a well-coached team and their post players had good games,’’ said Russell coach Merle Kidwell. “There’s no shame in losing to Raceland anymore. They have had a good run of girls.’’ http://www.dailyindependent.com/localsports/local_story_059234558.html There has been no shame in "losing to Raceland" in the past several years. They have made showings in the Regionals for at least the last 6 years that I can remember, perhaps longer. Those same teams have set school records, had top players and had very successful seasons.

Congrats to the Kittens on the win.

Does anyone have the all-tournament team?
