Mercer County is going to surprise a lot of people this year. Just wait and see.

I think District Champs! This Year..... they have been up-seated for the past 3 years in a row by East Jessamine.... but this might just be there year.

The Danville Mustangs won the 16u tournament with a record of 3-0-1. When they played the nky knights 17u team. They pitched kids that hadnt pictched all year. The next week Colin Buckner, Jacob Bodner, and Darrell King played with the nky knights 16u in Georgetown and came in second in that tournament losing to Scott County's varisty team. Tyler Sexton and colin Buckner were the hitting standouts in the tournament hitting a combined 5 homeruns and 16 RBI's. Sexton pitched the semi-finals against Scott County's other team and also hit a homerun.

I know that Dave Thomas is now on staff at Mercer County, but as an assistant. Mercer is lucky to have him on their great "new" staff.

I don't know of anyone in recent history who has been able to really compete out of Nelson Co. Since Mason left they haven't won many games, 12-22 since '05. mason had one bad season, and got the boot under some very politically charged conditions. He has now willingly inherited a team that graduated close to 30 seniors, is only returning 3 starters on defense(2 DB, 1 DL), and only 5 or more on offense (3 OL, 2 QB). With Mercers tough local schedule and talented group of inexperienced youngsters they will have a great season to go .500 or to make the playoffs. Best of luck, be ready to hit the ground running after dead period! Go titans.

I can't even describe how upsetting it is to me the way Coach Mason has been treated durring this catastrophe. Even in his only quote in the Danville paper he took the high road and was very positive and genteel. I hope he doesn't just do what is right for the players, but he tries to do what is right for Bill Mason and the Mason family. While at Mercer his defense held oponents to an average of less than 15 ppg in his 3 seasons, so he took care of his business. He has went to bat for players for anything they needed. He writes letters of recomendations, helps players find a college, is a positive male role model for young men, and he even spearheaded the off season weight lifting for football and basketball. Despite the fact he wasn't getting paid to do it. He does it not because its in his contract, but because it the right thing to do for the kids and the program. The disrepect shown to him is even more of an embarrassment to the community, than the Weaver story. This put and even darker shadow over the district than what already loomed before with the merger, and other alleged incidents. Mason put his work into the program. What had the MCSH given him in return?

So which is it?:confused:

Mercer.

Just Recently. The reason was Burgin's right field isn't long enough and they do not have lights. Therefore, it has been moved to Mercer.

The 46th district tournament will be held at Mercer.

The Mercer seniors started their career with 12 players, and only 3 were left in the end.

Congrats to Mercer. Great things will be expected next year!

Once again, McCloud and Cinnamon do not play the same position.

Both of these two kids have played basketball their entire life. They are not ''football players'' they are athletes who contribute to the basketball progam.
