Well couldnt think of a better place to put this so here everyone goes.

Career miletones, a trip to the state baseball finals and successful coaches retiring were all part of the area sports landscape in 2008.

Lawrence County’s baseball sent off coach Randy Keeton with a state runner-up finish in June. The Bulldogs fell 4-1 to Pleasure Ridge Park, ending the coaching career of Keeton, who amassed 523 victories in a Hall of Fame career.

The Bulldogs’ improbable run to the championship game in Keeton’s farewell season was selected as the top story by the sports staff at The Independent.

Here’s a look at the Top 10.2008

1.Lawrence County baseball reaches championship. Keeton made the decision to retire before the season. He led the Bulldogs to four regional championships and five regional runner-up finishes in both the 15th and 16th Regions.

The Bulldogs secured career victory No. 500 for Keeton on April 17 against Morgan County. Lawrence County then made it a truly season to remember by winning the 15th Region title, then the sectional title and making it all the way to the state finals against powerhouse PRP.

Lawrence County’s 32-8 record was the best in school history.
