Yeah, District 7 was informed that the state tournament was starting Friday July 25th- Wed July 30th. So whats what?

**adopted purple** · 07-07-2008, 09:50 PM

We are in District 1 and were told that the Junior League State tournament starts Starts July 19 and runs through July 24. I hope those are the correct dates because I have requested those dates off from work. If someone knows for sure let me know soon so I can change those dates. I'm the General Manager and have to go through the corporate office to get time off and it isn't easy to get off at all. I'm pretty sure the regionals start August 1st. in Ft. Wayne Indiana and the World Series starts August 10 in Taylor Michigan. If it starts on July 25th that would not allow much time to get ready for regionals. Can someone check it out and let us know.

I was very impressed with HAP, although they seemed much bigger than Whitesburg.

**phs1986** · 07-10-2008, 12:53 PM

ALL games have been moved back a day due to the rain yesterday. IF anyone needs it I will post the updated schedule...

**15thRegionSlamaBamma** · 07-10-2008, 02:49 PM

I am not very aware who how the ALL STar baseball thing goes. So my question is who is HAP and how do you get into the world series?

HAP stands for Harold-Allen-Prater, towns in Floyd County.

At Prestonsburg this evening on StoneCrest, Whitesburg vs. Paintsville (6 p.m.), Prestonsburg vs. HAP (8 p.m.).

You have to advance out of regular pool play to the finals and then finally on to state and advance from state... etc....

Its a rather lengthy process if ya want the truth!! LOL.... BUT very very much worth it!!!! Big Grin

**adopted purple** · 07-11-2008, 09:19 AM

Our district president talked to the state director yesterday and was told the Junior League state tournament would definately start on July 19 at South Laurel. The link Ms. PHS sent me was the guidelines for the tournament. Those are the dates the tournaments must be finished. You can finish eariler but not later. So we hope to see some of you in London the weekend of the 19th. This is district ones first appearance in the Junior League State Tourney. We are bringing a very good team and looking forward to playing some of those great Eastern Kentucky teams.

Pburg beat HAP last night 11-1. They looked good, and Betsy Layne couldn't hit a thing off their pitcher. A couple here and there, but couldn't string together anything. I look for Pburg to take the 1 seed in that pool, with HAP and Paintsville being a good matchup on Saturday for the 2nd spot in that pool. Then Belfry and Knott County getting the 1 and 2 spots in the other pool.

Yeah, Prestonsburg played really good last night. Adam Crisp pitched for Prestonsburg, HAP couldn't buy a hit off of Crisp or make any plays on defense, seemed like they had around 5+ errors.

Yeah that'll do it to you! I'd like to see Pburg beat Paintsville, then HAP beat Pville to take the #2 spot. But that's just me!

I didn't say what was likely to happen! I simply stated what I would like to see happen! Didn't measure any percentages or odds, just a comment
