In their first year as a school last year, the Lady Titans went 23-15. They won the district championship with a 4-2 win over Spencer County and then made it all the way to the regional championship game before falling to Walton-Verona 4-3. They lost only one senior from last year's team, center fielder Kristina Gramig, who is now playing softball at the University of the Cumberlands. They return everyone else including their pitcher, Jeneca Thomas, who had a record of 23-13 last season and lead Shelby County to the state tournament in her sophomore season. This year they will have quite a few seniors with lots of experience and some great hitters along with a good pitcher. They should be one of the favorites to make it to Owensboro this year.

Their returning starters:

Lindsey Ketcham - So. - RF
Rebecca Mouser - Sr. - SS
Kara Owens - Sr. - C
Jeneca Thomas - Sr. - P
Bailey Rankin - Jr. - LF
Amanda Buresh - Sr. - 2nd
Alex Baker - Jr. - DH
Sara Chambers - Sr. - 3rd
Sydney Cloyd - So. - 1st

Their full schedule isn't posted on the KHSAA website but they will be playing a tough schedule again this year. The games posted so far include Sacred Heart, North Laurel, Ballard, Mercy, and Oldham County. I know they will also be playing in a tournament at South Laurel, the Capital City Classic in Frankfort, and the Lady Charger Classic at Jeffersontown as well as hosting the Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament.

I expect a great season for the Lady Titans and I think they have a great shot at making it to the state tournament this year.
