View Full Version : Sleepers In The 14th

Every year there are some players who come out of no where and help out their team.
I will start it off with OF Sean Ryan of Powell County.
I believe that he will be a big key to Powell's success this year.

Russ Dotson and Josh Rison from Powell will fill in some holes after last year's graduation. Both are infielders. Rison may see some time at SS while Dotson may play some 3rd and 1st, and will definitely be effective on the mound.

The 2007 14th region senior class was a good class. I think with all the starters that were lost to graduation that there will be several new players that will surprise people this season. I was impressed with Hazard's sophomore class from a year ago (this years juniors). Most of them only got to play j.v. because of the talented seniors that the Bulldogs had. Leslie, Letcher, Perry, Powell, Lee, and Estill all lost key seniors from a year ago as well.

Last year everyone said Leslie was losing everything because they were losing Morgan and Hendrix. The Eagles have been to the region finals the last 2 years. Should have won both years. They were a better team than Letcher this year. I think they will be a talented team again this season. You don't know of many on the team right now but when the season gets started you will.

I look for estill to have some upcoming talent this year. From both sophmore, junior, and possibly freshman classes.

LCC will build a powerhouse for years to come in baseball. Tons of talent in the 8th grade to sophomore classes!

Stick to the topic of the current thread. Not something else. We are nowhere near a draw as of now...practice hasnt even started yet. So I suggest if you want opinions on the draw, start a different thread.

I completely agree. Not only talent, but a coaching staff that knows how to properly develop it.

Its very possible that we will see Powell and Estill in the district championship, and then again in the regional championship.
JBS will be a sleeper with young talent and Potter transferring in....

Very good point. Both of these teams are in the top 5 if not the best in the region. They both return a very good class of athletes and it will be a dandy when these two match up during the season.:PirateSho

Most definitely
Hazard will be good this year with alot of young players and JBS will be young but beat some teams they have never beat before because they will have some really good young pitchers...

For a team to win the region in 2008 they have to have at least 2 quality pitchers. With teams like Powell, Perry Central, Estill, etc., who can just flat out hit, you have got to keep the ball down, hit your spots, and dont fall back in the count all day, or your going to be hurtin................badly!!!!!

And on the other hand, you have to have a solid lineup to beat some of the quality pitchers. You cant win without hittin. :)

Lee county is definatly going to need a couple of sleepers from last year to perform on the mound if they want any chance of winning the region, or districts if they dont draw the one seed.

The 56th seeds......According to your last post it only takes 2 good starters.........and I think Lee and Campell can cover that so they have a chance.........But i do think they have a really good Soph. class...........It all depends on how they step up and will probably be a lot better team as the year goes on since the team will be a lot younger.

Good luck to them, but I dont see Drake throwing every district game again, and then turning around and winning in a district final, or in a tough first round against powell or estill.
3under_PAR
02-26-2008, 09:25 PM
He probably wont throw every district game......but it only takes one to get to the regional Tournament and i think on any given day Drake and Lee are capable of beating about anyone in the Region.

Well, the last time he faced Estill, they put up 12 runs on him. Im not saying that he isint a good pitcher, because he is, but Estill had him pretty much figured out. (Wait on the outside fastball, and drive it to opposite field.) So, the Lee kid has got to help him.

Jarrod Amburgey Knott great arm hasn't played in a couple of years but could really be one the best pitchers in the region come seasons end.

I believe Jenkins will have to beat either JBS or Letcher to get out of the district, depending on the draw. JBS and Letcher appear to be playing well at this point in the season.

As young as LCC is, there is still no one in that district that can beat Bryan Dean. I don't care how young of a team they have. He will win that district every year if he stays there.

Dean is a good Coach, but I don't think a coach puts runs on the board.
I see Jenkins and JBS giving Letcher all they want in the District this year.
