The Plot Thickens...

Did it ever on Thursday...

--#22 Union County validated my ranking of them this week by stunning #2 Henderson County 3-2. The 2nd region is quickly becoming a monster, with Christian County and Hopkins County Central also expected to contend for the regional championship.

--Edmonson County will most certainly jump back into the rankings, as the Wildcats destroyed #9 Grayson County 7-0. Grayson County is young, but the chances of them contending for the regional title with Owensboro Catholic look slimmer by the day.

Other scores that caught my eye...

--#16 Manual d. #18 Butler 1-0
While the Crimsons have been up-and-down this season, this is a score that makes me believe that Butler may be able to perform well at the state tournament (if they get there).

--#15 Mercy d. Christian Academy-Louisville 2-1
Not many people are talking about the Centurions in the wild and wacky seventh region.

--#20 Scott County d. Estill County 10-0 (5 innings)
The Engineers have a long way to go to recapture their state tournament form of a season ago.

  • Edmonson is young also starting one 8th grader, a freshman, 2 sophomores and 5 juniors. Probably the best pitcher/catcher duo in the region--both juniors.

  • Butler is getting stronger each and every game I'am saying that they will be there at the state tournament.The old coach was a disapointment in his style of coaching but the new one "Rick Dawson" is doing a fine job.
