Nice weekend SH.

 

Looking forward to the SH vs. Boone match up. It should be a great game. From what I have seen and heard it comes down to these 2 teams. Sure hope the weather holds up!

Looks like Coach Higgins and his team are off to a fine start. Go Toppers!

WOW . . . What a game! Looked like a couple of heavy weights trading licks! Good game, Boone!

I am big enough to admit that I may have been wrong about SH.

Been quiet here lately. How are things going? Boone, DB, and SH all in a tie for 1st. Are these teams all that everyone expected? Tournament time is gearing up, and how fun! Updates would be great b/c I'm interested in these games, just not around to see!

Does anyone know how the Big 8 conference tournament works? I know in the IMAC the first round is an elimination game and turns to double elimination after that. Should be fun down the stretch, there are some quality teams in Region 1-AAA.

Daniel Boone senior pitcher Cora Baker signed with Walters State yesterday. She started working on learning to pitch the summer after her freshman year and then her soph. year she was something like 13-17 with a 2.69 or so era with 180 some ks, junior year she was 19-4(or close, my memory is failing me) with a 1.64 era(or so) 203 ks and a couple of no hitters, and this year she's 21-2, 160 ks, has a save and 0.46 era and a perfect game. She's hitting .400 with 6 homers. She's worked her tail off and had the benefit of lessons from Coach Wes Holly and Tonya Jenkins and a very good catcher to work with in Megan Walker. And yes, she's my daughter and I'm proud of her accomplishments in just 3 years of work and no, I don't keep the book.

 

She had a full ride offer from Union in Ky, a very good offer from Tusculum, and interest from several other good schools, but chose Walters State because she said she just felt at home there and she can get a very good start to her education and the coaches are top notch and alot like her hs coaches who are not only top notch coaches, but just good human beings. Coach Wagner(and staff) at Boone is a man of character and ethics, he expects discipline and hard work from his team. She's been blessed to have such good coaches in her hs career.
