Not in most small schools they do not. You would probably not be able to field a Volleyball and Softball team if you did. Also many kids do not have parents who can afford AAU or that can drive their child several times a week an hour away to practice.

Since it is not KHSAA state tournament I guess they can make the tournament how they want. I actually do not understand why the BBALL and Volleyball regions and districts are not the same anyway.

I am not sure who organized it last year but it looks much different this year. It is too bad the Louisville tournament is at the same time but it is still a great opportunity for the small rural schools.

I can not see where this is posted but the website has the format and pools listed for this tournament. All that has to happen are the regional tournaments to fill in the blanks.

It does appear that this year they will take 1 team from each region instead of 2 teams like last year.

I do agree that club volleyball does pull talent from girls basketball and there are not too many players that are doing both, especially if they are the talented, taller ones. They could do both and I am not sure if it is the high school or club coaches who encourage that but I know that they make it difficult to do so. Club soccer also does the same thing and we see that as well in Oldahm Co - sad that they have to choose and cannot do both. I think that has hurt the number of quality of high school girls teams and why you have dominate powerhouses year fter year.

You really can not do both. The club tryout and practice season is in the Middle of Basketball season. I have tried to find a team that will start the club ball after March 8th but there is not one available. I can not imagine if we were allowed to have the Basketball girls play AAU ball right in the middle of the V-ball season.

I think that V-ball should not be able to start the clubs until after BBALL season. I think you might get more participation in both.

Unless Parks and Recs picks it up in our town it will not happen. There are only 2 gyms with net systems and they belong to the MS and HS. There is not a place for them to practice or play unfortunately.

I think it should be offered also, but for now they begin playing in 6th grade.

In small towns your girls that play v-ball are usually your basketball players also, so that takes them out of the club ball.

Carroll County has a Middle School program, they started one the year they began HS.

Summer ball is great for getting the kids out to play and work on their skills. It is not really a good judge of the teams because so many kids are out.

However, GC has a good program and always fields a competitive team. I am sure they will have a good season.

That is too bad.. I really like the girls on that team and thought that would have a good year.

Well - it is summer ball.. every team is missing key players. Carroll is missing 2 and most every team has gilrs out. But I definitely think that it is going to be interesting.

Carroll goes to Georgetown camp next week..I think they are taking 3 teams Fr, JV and Varsity. Coach Mefford is going to have his hands full.

I know WIlliamstown will be there, but have not heard who else is attending.

Here is all the info I have

Ballard over Henry by 25+

Ballard over Carroll by 13

Carroll over Oldham by 3

Maybe someone has some more info.

I still am not sure who is there.

Some 8th Region action tonight as Shelby Battles AC, and South Oldham also plays AC. Summer ball is....well summer....but still fun to see 8th region foes go at it!

I agree.. We are playing at the Oldham Camp tonight but I am not sure who all will be there.

Does anyone have a list and times they play. I know that some pretty good teams are going to be participating but I am not sure what the schedule is going to be.

Game 1: Shelby Defeats Carroll in a close contest until the end. Shelby ended up winning the game by 8 or 10 points I believe but the game was much closer then that. I know Carroll was missing some kids and I assume Shelby was too (although I didn't know of any missing). Guard play will be strong for Shebly. They are very quick and will spread you out looking to drive and kick. Not much inside for either team on this night....

Game 2: Anderson defeats Carroll in a close game. Anderson would pull out ahead a few points, then Carroll would come right back. Anderson hit a 3 with about 1:30 to go to basically put the game away. Cann played well for AC with around 20 points. AC was missing 2 starters in this game as well.

Very good showing by Carroll.. they were missing 2 starters and a 6th man and played most of the young girls. Teamwork is the key for them. Good defense.

From what I understand, Gallatin County is doing well without Brooke Hill. She's not at this camp. The Lady Wildcats are VERY YOUNG!! Haven't heard about Carroll. That would be L1!!:thumb:

Carroll looked good, they won the Camp tournament tonight without 2 starters. I was very surprised at how well the young girls played and I saw a lot of teams that are really improving and working hard.

It was a really good camp and all the teams definitely got enough games in this week. GC definitely missed Hill but just like CC it was nice to see all the other girls step up.

Good luck to all the teams on the rest of their Summer ball!

What is the format of the tournament Friday? Does anyone know.

Cooper has really improved this year. They will have a much better season I believe.

They have 8 teams attending (mostly from NKY) and are doing a nice job running the camp. Very nice facility and good format.

Teams attending are:

1. Cooper

2. St. Henry

3. Beechwood

4. Grant Co.

5. Carroll Co.

6. Dayton

7. Villa

8. Gallatin Co.

Games start at 5:30 every night and each team plays 2x.

Congrats to the Panthers...! When will they play Shelby!

Congrats to GC!

Does anyone know who made the team from Carroll?

I just wanted to say congratulations to the CC Panthers ( softball ) they have had a much improved year and look like they will end the year 10-11.

A great turn around for the program and we are proud. We expect great things as the girls continue to develop.

Good job to the Coaching staff.!:ylsuper:

Congrats to Chris Hendrick, CC is proud of you!

Congrats to the new Coach and good luck to Trimble County!

I predict much success this year. I also look for a faster, quicker team with more of an outside game.

Lots of the younger players were really stepping up at the end of last season.

Carroll will definitely miss the leadership of their 2 graduating seniors, but I predict they will once again be under-rated and have a great season!

Lots of good players returning and many younger players are stepping up and doing well in the off season.

Congrats to Candace! Hopefully we will get frequent updates from 24smom!

Good Luck.
