COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Thought we played well against Paintsville. I was blown away on our performance on Monday. I didn’t expect that. Against Paintsville is more the way I felt we’d come out against Greenup Co. in the opener.”
“ I really thought Ford Scaggs pitched really well on Tuesday. I’m so happy for him.”
