Kennedy Baugh to NDA!

Did Beechwood take a step back this year? They do not seem to be the same team that ended last year beating NDA and making the Region.

Good for the Lady Cru - good luck to them and their new coach...they hired the right female coach mentioned in this blog. They got this one right.

I believe there are some KHSAA requirements for high schools to meet for sanctions and participation in post season, including fielding a varsity team.

Walton lost 3 kids and Helton kid is injured...not to mention their point guard now has a broken nose.

Heard Thelen wasn't playing. May just be a rumor, but it was a pretty reliable source.

I don't think its a rumor...shame though...good talent at NDA but numbers down overall. Not sure they are #1. Time will tell:popcorn:

Have you ever seen the way he treats his players. Their is absolutely no slack given, none! As I said in the Beechwood thread. He's probably one of the toughest coaches out there, but he's consistent and fair.

So he is just like Myerhoff. :notworthy:

Interviewed last year - Assistant to Pat Roesel at Ryle.

Give Calvary a little more respect - congrats - you beat them...no reason to emphasize the obvious.

How often does a team pitch 3 different pitchers in fastpitch?

Nice option to have when you plan or get lucky - can never have enough pitching!

The Ryle/CCH game was horribly reffed. Officials of any sport need to gain control of the game from the start, beginning with the meeting with the captains, and work with them on the field. The cards and ejections should be a last resort. KHSAA did a good thing with softball/baseball a few years ago when they implemented an option for umpires to restrict players and coaches to the bench instead of going to immediate ejection thus allowing for cooler heads and avoiding the automatic suspensions. Soccer reffing has been brutal this year, my biggest observation has been the lack of hustle by ARs to get into position for offside calls and by the Head Ref to move from the mid circle to see the action in the box.

Stewart, Finke, Schaefer, Rose, Terry or Sullivan - that's NDA's IF.

"I remember when my daughter was a freshman and how bad we were. We have come a long way. Raiders, Cougars, Look out!!!" I love the confidence with Jones and Smith there to compliment your daughter's talented class, but please tell us Shamrock, how bad were they??? :popcorn:

Approximately 40 girls with Campbell County zip codes went to NDA this year

And yes, Bobby is a great baseball man so congrats to him and good luck with the young Tigers.

So this begs the question how do St. Henry fans and players feel about this? Like the NCAA, coaches can transfer without penalty, but players have to sit out a year after transferring unless they meet certain requirements (move, KHSAA special exemptions, etc.) You pick a school hopefully based on academics, but with all the athletic transfers going on, one must begin to wonder the true motive of picking schools these days.

The ND parents have done a great job with building the softball field. They are great with tools like the shovel and hammer - just watch out for the knife.

Yes, CCH got beat by a better Dixie team TODAY. That's what makes high school sports great, everyone starts 0-0 today. You can't win every year, but I'll take my 20-30 wins a year behind solid pitching and defense.

TOG makes a great point, lots of other successful head coaches, past and present, out of the Krumps camp. And if you start adding up who has won the Region the last 15 years, other schools like Ryle and Beechwood, play small ball and win with pitching/defense. Myerhoff may not bunt as much, but uses it as an offensive tool just as effective.

Congrats to the CCH Seniors on a great season and career.

Great win Denny. Glad to see you have fully recovered. Good luck the rest of the way.

PaNDA - unbelievable actions shots from today's game. Thanks again for all you do for the girls.

Seems like Stewart got an early hook during a couple of the postseason games. Is the Jones girl that good?

Congrats to NDA and NCC on great seasons. Both teams should continue to improve as they seem to return almost everyone.

Congratulations to Beechwood on the win. I still believe the Panda's will be a tough out in the Region depending on the draw.

 

As to the ruling....according to the 2012 case book from the NFHS...Rule 3.6.16 SITUATION B: After hitting a line drive toward F5, B1 throws her bat and it strikes the catcher or umpire. The act is judged to be (a) intentional, or (b) unintentional. RULING: In (a), the offender will be ejected from the game. If B1's fair hit ball is a base hit, B1 will be replaced with a substitute runner. In (b), the umpire will warn the team for a carelessly thrown bat, and if the act is repeated, any subsequent offenders on that team will be restricted to the bench/dugout for the duration of the game (3-6-3).

 

Crazy what blue has to know and then rule on. From reading this I gather he restricted her to the bench, and did not eject her. I hope that is the case as she is a talented hitter, and ND will need her.

 

Looks like Beechwood got practicing in and finally hit the ball. I maintain if these teams play 10 times, ND wins 9 of them, but hey, that is why you play.

 

Congrats again to the 35th district champion Beechwood Tigers.

So in this case, her ball was a single, should they have not restricted her to the bench and then allowed for a pinch runner? That would certainly have added some interest into the final inning with a lead runner aboard.

Congrats to Beechwood for their perseverance and championship.

Congrats to Jenalee...and boy did I miss that prediction.

Are they getting close to their max # of games?
