Should be a good match up this Friday night. The Mercer Quarterback Booster Club is hosting a "Tailgating Meal Deal" in the tailgating area beside the football field at Mercer before the scrimmage starting at 5:00. For $6.00 you can get a barbeque sandwich, chips, drink and homemade dessert. All proceeds go to the football team. This is for the Mercer fans and Danville fans. Enjoy!

Mercer did a little 7 on 7 amongst themselves last night at the sports complex practice field. Does anyone know who took the snaps at the QB position besides Trevor Short?

I am serious. Last count was around 36 seniors! Not only that, there are around 35 freshmen and 30 sophomores. The junior class is the lowest in numbers right now with about 15. Seniors are really serious this year!

Mercer County. Right now in the weight room there are about 36 seniors. The team has a different attitude this year. These seniors are ready to be the team leaders and are determined to get the job done. Watch out!

I would say who pitches for Mercer will depend on who wins the Danville/West Jessamine game.

Mercer has more than pitching. Their bats are red hot right now. This team never quits!

Any predictions on this semi-final game? It will be played on Thursday night at 8:00 PM at Boyle County Field.

West Jessamine's bats will be too much for Danville to handle. West makes it to the finals.

Great win by Mercer County. Freshman Clay Cinnamon started the game for the Titans on the mound. Junior Thad Claunch came in to relieve him when Somerset started hitting the ball and Mercer had committed 3 errors in one inning. Then in the 7th, Senior Matthew Robertson was brought in to get the Titans out of a huge jam. Then in the 8th, Senior Ethan Ashford came in to get the save. Mercer used its top 4 pitchers in this game and they came through for the team. Mercer's hitting was on with Matthew Robertson and Zeke Edwards leading the team during this game. As far as the officiating, the umpires were consistent for each team. No matter how bad the officiating might have been, no one can take away from Mercer County being down 5-1 and coming back to win this game in extra innings 10-7. Go Titans!

This game went 8 innings. Ethan Ashford pitched through 5 and 1/3 innings. Mason pitched 2/3 inning. Josh Carey pitched the 7th and 8th innings. This was a good win for the Titans. Going into the 6th inning they were down 7-2 and made a great comeback. Good game!

Another great pitching outing by Matthew Robertson for six innings. Kasey McRay came in and pitched the seventh inning to close out the game. Kasey did a great job. Hitting was once again in the favor of the Titans. Josh Carey was 2-3, Lee Logue had two doubles, and Zeke Edwards had a 2-run RBI double. Good win.

Thad Claunch pitched 5 innings. Josh Carey came in and pitched the last two innings and he struck out six batters. Once again the Titan defense had a great game. The Titan's offense was a little slow getting started. But, in the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings - the bats came alive. Great game!

Robertson also added a 2-run homerun. Defense played another great game.
