Sheldon Clark beat Paintsville and Allen Central beat Sheldon Clark. You play who you got in front of you. AC's pitchers got a good roll and threw strikes. They got some solid D behind them as well. They had a young infield that year if I recall correctly. Freshmen on third and second most games and they made solid plays. Especially during that tournament. You are right, that was a fun tournament.

You are probably right about the signifigance of neither coach being rehired the next year. I bet that had and my never happen again. I did see a poster on here post that Chad Hall had hired the same assistants that were there in 2003. I will have to look into that. Those guys seemed to know baseball and did a good job with the kids. I know Byron Patton handled the pitchers and catchers and did all the pitch calling for several years. Hopefully, they can help bring the program back to the top of the 58th.

That is right. I hope no disrespect was perceived by my comments. Allen Central did exactly what they had to do to win and took care of business. They were indeed the 2003 15th region champions and derserve all of the credit and whatever accolades there is that follows.:Thumbs:
