Words alone can't express my gratitude to everyone in the HHS program and Ft Thomas community. Unmatched support. It's been an honor to coach one of the most selfless group of dudes I've ever encountered. These seniors will be great at whatever they do. THANK YOU

Wasn't the way we wanted it to end but I'm so proud of the way our kids battled. I'm truly lucky to coach such wonderful kids who compete until the end. These seniors have been a part of a special run and done so with humility and class. Love those guys

It's an absolute honor to coach the kids at HHS. I'm one lucky dude. Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to help accomplish this step in the process. Could not be more proud of all involved: Players, parents and coaches.

If a school systems job is to prepare students for adult life, there's no better lesson than learning how to adapt and overcoming adversity. Sometimes you have to figure out a way to win a day, even when the odds are stacked against you. My $.02.

Understanding when something is bigger than you is a part of growing and maturing. Like many others around the country these guys have been preparing for a season that will be cut short. I'm proud of the hard work. But I'm most proud of how they handle adversity.

Understanding there are much bigger problems in the world I still feel the need to say it. The last four days without baseball have been tough. Knowing everyone is in the same situation doesn't really help. It magnifies how much all of us enjoy the game but that doesn't (1/2)

@KHSAA
HS coaches are tasked with helping kids get exposure: stats, all-star teams, all-state teams...etc. When a service is offered to our student-athletes for free we should embrace it. Exposure comes in many forms but none bigger than

I can remember in one of my first years of coaching going to
@PRP_Baseball
and telling our kids after the game, "That's what it looks like, fellas." Coach Miller is an absolute legend whose impact on the game in KY will live on forever. He will be missed.

You don't need a scoreboard to tell you if you are a winner. That was awesome to watch! Loved seeing the Birds compete like that. Great chemistry from a bunch of guys who have been playing together a long time. Congrats to all and good luck seniors.

Drew Rom in Aberdeen:
8-0 with a 2.79 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 73/17 K/BB in 67.2 IP.
Rom has been fantastic this season and it's going to be a lot of fun to see what he does now that he's drinking the magic Bowie water.
Best of all...he's still just 21 years old!!
Allie Meyers with the play of the game, to end the game!
For the first time since 2010-2012, the Ninth Region has a three-peat champion in softball!
FINAL: Highlands 6, Notre Dame 2

I want to give a special shout-out to the Varsity and JV Highlands baseball team for showing up for Jeremy and Jackson. It was such a heartwarming moment. They truly are a great group of high school boys. I know that Jeremy and Jackson really appreciated them being there.

Drew. Rom. Is. Good.
Rom has tossed six shutout innings against Brooklyn tonight, allowing 4 hits and 0 walks while striking out 6! Game is now in a rain delay.
The 21 yo LHP lowers his ERA to 3.14 through 10 starts and now has a 53/9 K/BB mark in 48.2 IP.
