Districts: May 23rd - 25th

We will be hosting the district tournament this year AT Highlands. In the past, the tournament has been held at NKU. Due to the rain this year, we do not want to share NKU's field with another district and try to reschedule make up games around another district's tournament. We're going to give it a shot and hope that it's easier to do it at our place than the regional tournament was at NKU several years ago.

That being said, we'll need some volunteers next week to help out with various activities at the school. We'll need two people to work the concession stand at each game. We'll also need an adult committed to doing the scoreboard for each game. We need to make sure that the ball/strike/out count is accurate for every pitch during the district tournament. We are also looking for someone to read the line-ups over the PA system & work the music. Please let me know ASAP if you or anyone you know would be interested in doing any of these jobs.


The game times are as follows:



  • May 23rd: Highlands vs. Bellevue - 5:30pm

  • May 24th: Newport vs. Dayton - 4:30pm

  • May 24th: Highlands/Bellevue vs. NCC - 6:30pm

  • May 25th: Newport/Dayton vs. Highlands/Bellevue/NCC - 5:30pm

We'll need all volunteers to be at the field AT LEAST 30 minutes prior to game time to get set up and make sure everything is working properly. This is a time we really need everyone to step up and help out so please email Jess at jessica.donelan@yahoo.com and let us know if you are available/willing to do something.

Beat Bellevue and then beat NCC!!

Go Birds :)

Saturday - Concession - Important!

We REALLY need parents to volunteer to work the concession on Saturday during our round robin. It would be best if we can just get one or two parents to work each game - that way everyone just has an hour and a half shift. Please e-mail me with a shift you'd be willing to work and we can get a schedule set up. Thanks!

Go Birds :)

Week of Monday 5/9

There are several changes for this week, so please read ALL of this information.

Monday:

There will be NO JV game at Bellevue. I am hoping to play a Varsity double header but have not heard back from their coach. THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE VARSITY GAME MONDAY. We will wear blue with pants. We'll leave in a school van at 4:15pm. **Bellevue's field is located by their track and football field.**

All JV players that do not regularly dress Varsity need to report to Death Valley on Monday at 3:45pm. The freshman game at home vs. NCC will be a Freshman/JV game rather than just freshman. We have changed this since the JV Bellevue game was cancelled.

Tuesday:

There will be NO JV game on Tuesday. Varsity will play a double header vs. Scott, followed by a game against Newport. Both of these games are at home.

Wednesday/Thursday:

We are not allowed to play Monday-Thursday, so if one of these games does not get rained out, we will cancel Thursday's game.

Friday:

Senior night after the Varsity game.

Saturday:

JV Tournament at Dixie.
Varsity Round Robin at home. More information about both tournaments posted on the left side of the page.
