[Strikeout King]

Powell and Estill have made it to the semis in the last 2 regions. I would like to see a
56th district team make the finals this year, preferably the Owsley County Owls. The gap is not as big as you think and will continue to shrink as the season goes along.

Estill is struggling right now at 4-7. They lost by 12 to Wolfe County at Wolfe, a team that Lee County beat at Wolfe, a Lee County team that Estill beat at Lee. Then on Friday Estill lost by 12 to a 2-win Bell County team then on Saturday, Estill lost by 1 to a 1-win Garrard County team a team that lost by 29 to Rockcastle County, a Rockcastle County team that Estill beat by 15 earlier in the year -___- Now Estill travels to Virginia next week to compete in the Alpha Classic at UVA-Wise. They open up with Christiansburg VA, a team that according to Maxpreps only had 2 losses last year and was ranked in Virginia's Top 25 but Christiansburg has yet to win a single game this year according to maxpreps. Then they will either play Central VA or Shenandoph Valley Christian (SP?) KHSAA has Letcher playing Central but that's wrong, Letcher plays Union
