For some it may be later. But monday March 24, 2008...several teams will square off in their first games of the year. Who does your team play? What are your predictions?

Paintsville opens with South Floyd on Monday, LCC on Tue., East Ridge on Thur. and Pike Central on Fri. befor leaving for Florida.
I say Paintsville will win every game they get to play this week.

Will they be playing in the Coco Beach Expo, or in Panama?

Powell County opens up with Montgomery County on Monday. Not sure about the Indians, although I do know they have one heck of a coach in Gene Combs. I'm sure he'll have his players ready. It should be a good first game for both teams, I know both are biting at the bit to hit the diamond.

SV opens with Belfry - but the game has been moved to BHS b/c SV's field is in no shape to play! I hear they are getting it "re-covered" however - that is once the BOE gets there to do it! :-) I've seen the field, and its a big mud bog between first and second. The new home opener for the Wildcats is Thursday, 3/27 against Matewan. As for the Belfry game, SV stands a good chance if they can put some offense together. Defense looked great in their 1-0 loss to Letcher Central (scrimmage), but no runs scored is still no runs scored. I'm sure that Coach Slone will most likely start Varney - he pitched 4 2/3 innings of shut-out ball against LCC, and the 1 run given up was unearned.

Gene Combs is one of the premier coaches in the state. He can motivate a slug if you give it a bat. He is definetly a top 5 pick for best coaches in the state of Kentucky.

They will be playing at Seminole HS in the Clearwater area. I think they are the only team outside of Fl in it. I also heard that a couple of Top teams from the Sunshine State were in it.

They should definetly have a good winning streak going into spring break though. Hopefully they play some tall cotton down south.

Estill opens up with Knott Central, at Knott County.

**The Guru** · 03-22-2008, 08:20 PM

We were at the field today, lining the outfield foul lines, cutting grass, edging the infield and etc. Getting ready for the fist pitch of 2008!!! I loved smelling that fresh cut grass so much I went home and cut my own!!! I am getting pumped!!! I think I'll go take a nap now! LOL

I know what you mean! That first month when it only gets to be at about 70, and especially when you go down south for spring break. That is always great baseball atmosphere.

Workers from the Pike Co. BOE are hard at work at SV getting the field in shape. So far, so good - it looks GREAT!
