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?

36 srs...Are you serious? That's approaching Trinity/St X type numbers.. I'd say with that big of an upperclass, they should be good...

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.

Should be a good game. Boyle bats vs. Mercer pitching. Anyone know who will be on the mound for each team?

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

Advocate Messenger has some great pictures of the game at http://www.amnews.com

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.

Mercer County is one of the top teams in this region. Pitching is deep and accurate. That is going to help this team in the run for the title.

Defense made the plays when needed to help Robertson out on the mound. Great job, Matthew and the Titans! Great district win!

Great pitching effort and defensive effort by the Titans. Matthew Robertson picked up the win on the mound. Defense was solid by the Titans. Great district win!

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mercer even any good or is NCC that bad?

Hopefully, Mercer is that good. It's early in the season, but they are coming together. Thx.

Final.

Another outstanding pitching performance from Matthew Robertson. The Titans just didn't get it done at the plate with only Zeke Edwards and Wesley Southworth picking up one single each in the game.

Mercer was also hot at the plate with Josh Carey belting a 3-run homerun in the third inning and Zeke Edwards hitting a 2-run homerun in the third inning.

What about Mercer County? I know they are going to have about 30 Juniors returning for their senior year.

Great game! Mercer had costly errors in the first inning giving up four runs (3 unearned) and then shut Shelby County out the rest of the game. Thad Claunch for Mercer pitched an outstanding game once again. Zeke Edwards for Mercer was 2 for 2 at the plate with an RBI double and a single. Matthew Robertson also was hot at the plate for Mercer. Not sure on the Shelby County players information.

Mercer County and Boyle County should be the top teams in the area this year. Can't wait to see those two teams play each other.
