The 56th district has seeded in Baseball for over 10 years. You must take care of business in district in the regular season games so you can be assured of at least a #2 seed. 56th is stronger now that Estill replaced Wolfe. But Powell defeated Lee in the district tournament as the #1 seed from 2003-2005.

IF Powell just takes care of Lee in the '07 regular season, then they are the #1seed and get to play Owsley to go to region (Lee swept them and got the #1 seed). IF they just take care of Lee in the district tournament as the #2 seed, then they go to region last year. Lee didn't score a run against Powell in two games during the regular season during '08. Coach Jewell made a wise decision in not showing the Pirates Drake during the regular season. Sometimes it is easy to look ahead when you have dominated another team in the regular season.

Bottom line is a school with about half their enrollment has cost them trips to the regional tournament...not Estill.[/quot

Wolfe & Owsley are not consistently as good as Estill but they have had some decent teams and good players.
