Reed also went 3 for 4 with 2 rbi, while Todd and Tony Krohman, threw for the Rebels. Great two out hitting, lead the Rebels to this victory.

Well Hitking5, I noticed that you haven’t mentioned any other non-roster seniors yet that could have turned this team around. That’s too bad because I was giddy with anticipation to discuss your theory that the Boone Baseball program is somehow anti-senior. Don’t worry yourself about it because I’m apparently used to disappointments, after all, I am a Boone fan. In fact, I really don’t want to play anymore because I think it’s pretty apparent that your reason for posting isn’t to hold an intelligent discussion among true Baseball Fans but more of a way to bash the Boone County Baseball Program. I’m assuming for some personal reason. Before I leave though, I will make a bold statement. In my humble opinion, there has only been one and only one non-returning player in the last two years that could have been an impact player for Boone if they had played their senior year. That was Tanner Williams and from what I understand, he had some shoulder issues and was told not to play for medical reasons. So no Waffleking5, there is no bias against seniors at Boone County. If they are good enough to play, they’ll play. Oh, if you’ve noticed, I haven’t made a single mention of your comment on Coach Wilhoite “getting the boot”. That’s because responsible adults don’t spread rumors.

Hitking5, your threads seen to state Boone County’s Problems this year can be attributed to two issues. The fact that so many players decide not to come out and play their senior year and the fact that their coach is too laid back, can’t put a good lineup together, and hasn’t ever had any success. Fact #1 (returning seniors not playing) In you 1st thread, you specifically mention Fitzgerald and Spaulding as being very good players and your surprise as to why they aren’t playing this, their senior season. In your 2nd thread, you then agree with Cardinal1826 that Fitzgerald wasn’t a huge loss to the team and you then mentioned you weren’t really surprised that Spaulding decided to run track. So I think you just answered why neither of them are playing Baseball this year. Please, include more seniors, by name, that decided not to play instead of just innuendos? Honestly, I would be surprised if we can’t come up with valid reasons why others may have gone the same route. For what it’s worth, count on at least six seniors to be in the starting lineup next year, which won’t help you senior theory. Fact #2 (unsuccessful, laid back coach that can’t make a good lineup) Unsuccessful – Please name all the NKY coaches that have taken their team to the state tournament within the last 5 years. It’s not that big of a list, but Coach Wilhoite will be on it. Laid Back – You say laid back, I say professional manner. Can’t make a good lineup – Because of your own waffling on the two players mentioned in Fact #1, I’ll only say that we all live in a great country which gives us all the right to our own opinions. In conclusion, I’ll take a freshman that’s hungry to play the game over a senior that feels he has some right to play just because he’s a senior any day. No one has the right to play at this level. They have to earn the right and once earned, they’d better be willing to play their heart out to keep it. I’ll conclude by saying I think Coach Wilhoite runs a public school baseball program with class and pride. I would also like to add that I personally know Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Spaulding and they are both fine young men and I wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors after High School.
