Thanks...I haven't seen him play but I had heard he was good enough start varsity at many schools at several different positions.

I've heard this kid is the real deal, does he have a chance to play varsity as a freshman, and if so at what position?

I'd trade the SI honor for a couple state football titles.

Daylen may be the team's only D1 prospect, thus I don't think anyone is claiming "Best team ever". X should be very good, maybe more overall talent and speed at the skill positions than in years past.

When he gets timed mechanical I'm very confident Daylen will be a lot closer to 4.40 than he is to 4.50

This game is really hard to call. I don't think they have a common opponent. South Laurel has a great record and pretty much dominated the mountain competition. Bullitt East played the tougher schedule. Alphin or Bowles both have the ability to shut good teams down. I look for Bullit East to advance to the championship against Lex Cath.

My sources tell me Rueff will be the starter.

Chargers advance!

Understand your point Jim, just Jefferson County (who really cares about County boundaries at T and X, lol)... but I think Homerun is mindful of the fact that BE is representing the 6th Region which includes a good number of Jefferson County schools. It's also interesting that Alphin, POY in 6th, played travel ball a couple years with Littrell, Bowling and Carney of the Rocks. Cyclones are well represented in the 6th and 7th. Good luck to the Chargers and Rocks.

Which is exactly why I'm against a class system for baseball. Keep the All A tourney, but let'em all compete for the big show. Once you get above a couple hundred students there is little correlation between school size and baseball success.

When St.X played Owensboro they were 4-11...They ended beating X by a run. All the while watching the game I kept thinking how has this team only won 4 games? They hit the ball well, played defense and their pitcher threw well. Congrats to the Red Devils for turning their season around at the right time.

I like T's chances against Ballard regardless who the Bruins put on the hill. Overall, Rocks are better defensively and offensively at the plate. I've not seen Rueff throw this year, but I've heard his velocity his back and has good command. I'm looking forward to this one. I wonder if the Engineer will make it over from across the river to see this one.

Below the belt CR...X faithful will be sitting on T's side pulling for the Rocks. You just can't be happy you have us to kick around in December can you?:lol:

Was Brian behind the plate for the Rocks? I'm assuming that explains Manual's unwillingness to try and steal to get runners in scoring position and avoid the dreaded DP.

Pitching McCombs on 2 days rest does not bode well for the Bruins. In addition to potentially not being effective, the young man does have a career ahead of him at UL to think about. I would at most use him to close or to get out of a jam to prevent a big inning early in the game. The Rocks seem to score early....Ballard could start Mcombs, pull him in the second and bring him back as needed.

Are the finals tommorow or Thursday? I didn't know if UL's hosting of the regional forced a schedule change.

Winning district and drawing either Trinity or Male is no prize.

Owensboro was 6-14 going into that game...but had quality wins over Owensboro Catholic and St.X. They were certainly better than their record suggested.

Rain has stopped, slight chance of a shower after 7.

Catholic is good, so that's understandable....but soft bats is not what you want to have going into that game. Will Catholic throw P. Maronde and Creek Gott?

It was 9-4.

They actually split the doubleheader.....10 runs to 10 runs for both games.

16 losses...what's the saying, "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". Ballard's hard luck was bound to turn.

Anyone know why in the 6th St.X conceded the tying run with a runner on third, 1 out, by not bringing the middle infield in? Ground ball to short, fielder's choice, tied the game in regulation.
