Ck I agree on all that you say but polls mean nothing... they don't make a team better or worse... I know western teams are by far above eastern teams... most girls in western part of the state also play all summer and fall... most girls in eastern don't... CK i agree on all that you say but untill you know what is what in part of the state you have to experience... You have so many instructors in those areas that work with kids during the off season... eastern you don't have that... and the schools you mention (mercy, assumption, ballard, owensboro catholic) do you realize the money those parents and programs have??? Come on now... Do realize a couple years back when Owensboro Catholic did there big Cailfornia trip and traveled all over they had one man pay for most of it... so far what have you noticed on the schools you mention they have money and you can't say they don't... i've known all htose programs and coaches for a long time and i know what they get and have..... If you know Jones at ballard than you know... But don't get me wrong these kids work hard all summer and fall with there instructors to be good... and nothing wrong with that...Now lets get to coaching most of the schools you mention the coaches know and really care about improving there program some in eastern know nothing about the game and not to concern about it... there usually there to fill a spot.. now some of them not all there are some good coaches and people so don't some start yelling... and some has to be blamed on administration because they don't back the sport they usually only care about basketball... Ex.( perry central... rockcastle co.) just to mention. So I do agree with you about better teams but you have to look deeper into why...To be good you just can't work on this game 3 months out of the year.. to be good you have to play summer ball... fall ball and work hard during the off season... you also have to have someone who knows the game and knows the mechanics of hitting, pitching, fielding, throwing.... oh yea concerning the polls you can have fun with them but how can you compare teams that you have never seen and place them in order??? I've never seen reidland play this year so how can I put them over ashland???
