Coach West didn't start Winkle which in the big picture might have ben very smart but probably played a factor in this game. Perry only got to see her 1 time through the lineup and if they meet up in the region that could help Winkle. Perry always hits it well but he difference so far for them is Hughes pitching this year. She has to prove she can do it in a pressure situation which has always been an issue for her in the region.

As far as Estill dominating the region, if you don't win the region you aren't dominating it. Estill hasn't one the region since Shirley left. This group might have won more games than any team at Estill over the last few years but they haven't won the big games when it mattered. I think both coaches that followed Shirley were overly confident and didn't have their teams in a right frame of mind. When you get to the regional tournament it just takes 1 game to get beat, if you aren't ready to play anything can happen. I also think the years of Estill being head and shoulders better than everyone else are over. Wolfe, Perry, Knott, Jackson, Letcher, and Breathitt have all closed the gap over the last 5 years. Estill is the favorite anytime Winkle is on the mound but its no longer a lock like it was in years past.
