OMG Wrote:but they are in the same district right? so theres a possibility that only one of them will make it?
They seed in the 56th, so unless Lee County does what they did last year, then Estill Co. and Powell Co. should be the #1 and #2 and not have to play until the championship of the district.

Breathitt needs more seating as well. I have no idea where an alternate field could be used.
I hope that both schools can upgrade before the tournament. It would be good for both programs and for the 14th baseball tournament.
I understand there is a neutral field in Beattyville, college level playing field, brand new, that is available to host any school whose field is not ready for 14th regional tournament play, no fee required to utilize this field to my understanding, Delver Field is the name of this field and has been built by a non-profit/tax-exempt organization called Baseball, inc. Alice Lloyd College is utilizing this field and is in the running for the All A finals?

Excuse me, I meant to say Delver Field is being considered being used for playing a final game in the All A. Evidently this is a hard working group of baseball lovers who saw the need for this neutral field. Their main objective as I understand it is to organize a Babe Ruth 13 to 18 year old league in the 14th region and cut out a traveling team in the near future. They hope to finance this league and the field by 14th region high school teams scheduling a few games during the season on the field. With fueld prices skyrocketing this means if Letcher Central wants to play a Central Ky team they could cut the travel expense and play on Delver Field. The school gets the gate and the organization runs the concession stand. If any of you ever attended a Lee County High School game when they were coached by Gene Combs, they were the group running the concession stand.

They played in the semi finals of the region last year, that aint making noise for a school like Jenkins? I think Jenkins has a very good chance of winning their district (53rd) this year. Im gonna pick them right now to be district champs at the end of the year. They returned I think 6 of the starters from last year and both of their best pitchers. I see the Cavs making some nosie this year!

Come on I know they made it to the semi's but look who they had to play. That's not exactly making noise. Maybe a whisper.

Maybe in a few years they could get a pretty good team together and actually give everyone a reason to believe they are contenders for the title. I wish them luck on this year and in the future.

Knott will be young. Most of their team are sophomores. They do have a couple of juniors.
I see the 14th as wide open in a good long time.

Yeah tough break for Kirby heck of a guy and a great player. No surgery though is what i heard partially torn ucl ligament and severe nerve damage so there was no use for surgery. I hear through the grape vine that he has been working out and hitting with the estill team and going to try to play some corner outfield in the minors. He is a big kid but i clocked him at a 6.85 60yrd run at a Pro workout when he was in college. So i would say he could do it. By looking at the games kirby has really been an impact with the echs pitching staff. Those boy put it too Madison central saturday.
