I was suprised that Johnson County's bat were not hotter than they were. That may sound suprising because they were winning before the delay but knowing these kids it could have been worse. From what I saw, Johnson County should roll.

Nope. Sorry. Ended up eatin more than what we picked. lol Always turns out that way.
Congrats JC, nice win!

**Ring'Em Up** · 07-06-2007, 02:04 AM

Results for Thursday saw Johnson Co pick up the win over Magoffin in the game suspended fom Wed. JC then defeated Big Sandy and Magoffin got by Martin Co. in 7 innings. Friday's action will be Magoffin Co. taking on Big Sandy at 7:00 pm, with the winner advancing to the Championship round versus Johnson Co. on Saturday. Dist. 9 Cal Ripken would like to give a nod to the Martin Co. All Stars for a nice tournament and an especially exciting game in tonite's extra inning affair. good luck to all those youngsters in the future.

lol only if Pikeville still had a league

**Ring'Em Up** · 07-06-2007, 11:11 PM

friday's game had magoffin co. getting the win over big sandy, 11-6. magoffin now advances to the championship round against johnson co. on saturday , with 1st game at 3:00 pm. a magoffin win would force a final game at 7:00 pm. we would like to wish all the kids from big sandy the best of luck. good job guys.

**Ring'Em Up** · 07-07-2007, 07:30 PM

2007 Cal Ripken 11-12 District 9 finals saw Johnson county defeat Magoffin county 23-0 in 4 innings. OUTSTANDING pitching performance by JC today. if memory serves right, all 12 outs were via the K. great job magoffin, lot of 11's on your team i believe, so i think we might see ya again at this point next year. good luck.

I think one kid was thrown out trying to bunt and there was eight K's by Garrett Lemaster and 3 K's by Alex Castle.

who am i to question a true baseball guru like you. hahaha
yeah, i think i remember that now.
that off speed #22 is throwing now also, has about the tightest break i have seen in a 12 yr old. not the ol' looping movement ya normally see.
real nice
p.s. where would he may have gotten that? :notworthy

Who is #22? Sounds like he's a pretty good pitcher for his age. Like you said, you don't see many 12 year olds with a offspeed pitch like that.

**OffTheHook** · 07-08-2007, 12:53 AM

Garrett LeMaster

Pupaw · 07-08-2007, 12:59 AM

Glad to hear Garrett is having success. When I watched him play he was a catcher! It has been a while.

**Ring'Em Up** · 07-08-2007, 01:19 AM

yeah, he's doing real good. still a wall behind the plate also, but really came a long way this season on the mound also. i think maybe eagle pride 90 may have had sumthin to with his mound success this year.
hey 'paw, you happen to see the ideas guru and i were talkin bout last nite in the LL forum? what would you think of the possibilties of sumthin like that? Ripken vs LL weekend here in town sometime? a long shot?
thought you mite really know if it would ever be possible.

Now hold on!!!! It wasn't my idea!!! Remember...I said if it was my call, I wouldn't do it!!! Big Grin

**Ring'Em Up** · 07-08-2007, 02:03 AM

yeah, i'll take the heat for that one!!! but is it really THAT bad of an idea? i jus thought it would draw alot of interest and for sure be a good weekend of baseball.

**Playboy5** · 07-08-2007, 08:35 AM

So what is the deal with Pikeville and there Junior League program. After they got out of the Little League and entered C.R. they are silent and has been after being so competitive every year in the little league division. Could someone feel me in?

Well, it's like this. If they really wanted to have their own fields and or league or what ever. All they had to do was push the population issue and then go after the kids the way they are now. What that would have done was forced the league to go to an American and National Leagues. Then you could have had teams playing at both complexes every night and week end. This would have also created more Allstar teams. 3 in each division (baseball). All this has done is created another us and them or them and us issue. So the excuse of having more Allstar teams is out the window.

When we were at the field the other day, you wouldn't believe how many times I heard the words "You remember when", come out of those boys' mouths, while they were talking. It was one of the only places they could all be and care less about the JC/PHS bullcrapp. I'm just happy my son got to experience it and create the friends that he has now.
