Great season for leps but keystone had 35 home runs this season, until that's broke no record has been broken, if you want to break it down to divisions to say you got a record then great...you got a record.

So your team is 23-1 in the regular season and 24-2 overall. What's that tell someone? You were 1-1 in the tournament! A little better than One and Done but not much. The team plays a subpar regular season schedule, is way overrated or maybe a little of both. You beat Hoover in the regular season. So what and big deal. You beat them when it didn't matter and they were playing long after you had cleaned out the locker room and started volleyball conditioning. Hoover's the real deal and if Louisville was that good you wouldn't get beat in a lousy district semifinal game. You play home games on a field with a short fence in a conference with lousy pitching. You should hit a lot of home runs. As far as "shattering" a mythical homerun record is it really "shattering" something if you have 25 and the last person had 24? Hardly. Stick to writing about sports and stop being a cheerleader with rose-colored glasses.

sometimes you toot your own horn a tad too loud. I'm not immune , been there , hopefully learned from it. But i do agree going back and celebrating publically on OFC a victory over a team that went on to win a state championship is kinda odd. MD

Here we go agian with how great louisville is. Stop already, you beat the band wagen to get ranked tops in d1 state. just to loss your 2nd game of the tournament. Home run record "REALLY" come on. What are you calling Keystones home run record 2nd to yours. And ya "SHATTERING" the record. Like backstop09 said very weak pitching in that conference along with very short fence.

First the Massillon district is the hardest to get out of(back to back state champions) and to call playing Perry a lousy district semi game are you for real??? I will not stick up for anyone running there mouths but that same short fence Hoover played on and did not hit a homerun so I guess its not that short and the league is soft but Louisville also beat every Federal league team some of them twice so state real facts..... and grow up!

It's not difficult to question the motive of this thread. Other than blowing "their" own horn, what purpose did it serve? What kind of response did the poster expect to get? Congratulations? Ooo's & ahhh's? Please....

As to their homerun total, I'd be curious how many of those "D-1 record" homeruns were against non-NBC (D-1) schools. While perhaps true that Hoover didn't hit a homerun in their early season game on Louisville's short fences, I'd bet you could give any of a bunch of good teams that home field along with two-thirds of their games versus below average D-2 competition and they'd probably "shatter" Louisville's record.

Seems like a cry for attention to me. Win when it counts and you'll get the attention you long for.

Appreciate the coverage of the Lady Leps this season Jared ... hope to see ya follow them next year too.

PS ... it's also somewhat enlightening seeing all the panties get in a bunch from all those who seem to enjoy doing all they can to discount the accomplishments of this years team.

Nobody's "discounting" anything. People are just getting a little tired of this writer/cheerleader making a huge deal out of nothing and acting like Louisville just won a world championship because they "shattered" a record (by one) that he created. If this team and coach are as satisfied as the writer with inflated regular season records, being highly ranked in silly coaches polls, and "shattering" mythical home run records then they never will amount to anything. Play good competition throughout the season and get ready for the tournament. Don't play cupcakes just so your record looks impressive to ignorant poll voters then you get bounced early come tournament time. Louisville won a SECTIONAL title and they beat the eventual state champ in a meaningless regular season game. Oh wow. They won a lot of games because they play substandard competition. They hit a lot of home runs because their home field has a short fence and their conference pitching stinks. That's not "discounting" - that's calling a spade a spade and facing reality.

... huge deal out of nothing ... just won a world championship ... inflated regular season records ... silly coaches polls ... mythical home run records ... Play good competition ... Don't play cupcakes ... meaningless regular season game ... substandard competition ... conference pitching stinks

And thank you, that is a perfect display of panties in a bunch and is the very essence of textbook "discrediting" ... I counldn't have asked for a much better example.

Not to interrupt the festival of potshots, but I'm not real sure how Louisville could have scheduled a much tougher non-conference "meaningless" game schedule versus any "gooder" competition ... I know I know, scheduling games against 7 of the 8 Federal League teams probably doesnt count as good competition ... with it being such a weak substandard league and all, going unbeaten against the Federal was just meaningless inflating of their record ... oh yea, and Louisville was also so intimidated by good competition, they called in the rain to cancel their games scheduled against Boardman and Poland.

And oh that awful NBC ... that by absolute pot luck produced 2 D2 District semi-finalist (one of which was the District Champion by beating the other), plus a D2 sectional finalist that got beat 1-0.

But no really, continue with the spade is a spade realistic diatribe of meaningless, substandard, mythical, cupcake, stinks (etc etc) hater speak ... and please dont hesitate to continue to enlighten us about going 2 and done in a district that would most likely easily chew up and spit out the vast majority of teams in the state - you know, the one with perennial softball cupcakes Hoover, Perry, Lake, Jackson, Green ... your standard substandard Stark County pushovers. I'm quite sure there are many districts of any/all divisions that are sooooo much stronger top to bottom.

Its all good right?, just keepin it real? ... dont bother, I know your answer already ... enjoy yourselves.

My, my - talk about panties bunching! Somewhere in all of that I got lost. Care to take a stab at explaining how having ONE more of something than someone else is "shattering" their amount?

Somewhere, somehow, ya got lost in "all that"?? ... wow, I'll have to admit I didnt see that coming. ;&

But hey - forget all that other hookey ... lets all debate, discuss, and dissect "how having ONE more of something than someone else is "shattering" their amount?" ... I mean really cut to the chase and get inside that one, because the legitimacy of all the other statements hinge absolutely on how horrible and wrong it was to use the term "shattering" - ya know, because if everybody can agree that the term shattering was possibly not the most pinpoint accurate verb, automatically all the other stuff will be validated.

yea yea, thats the ticket!

I am not a Louisville resident and I don't even live in that area of the state. When Jared first posted links back to his Louisville HS Sports website in the spring, he and I exchanged a few forum posts about what he was trying to accomplish with his website and his possible career goals.

Jared is a young journalist who is an avid reporter for his HS Alma Mater. All he wants is for Louisville athletes to see their team and possibly their name out in the media world. Just like every other High School athlete in the state of Ohio who likes to see their name in the paper or on TV.

Yes, he has used some terms or phrases that we really do not agree with but when you keep this whole matter in the proper context, it is ok. Because this is just about a guy who has a website about his HS Alma Mater Sports teams. It is not Fox Sports or CBS Sports, or ESPN Sports.

And I know of adults who while sitting with their buddies drinking beer that say, "Ya know, our team in 86' beat the eventual State Champs that year during the regular season so we were just as good as they were. And remember when we hit all of those home runs, more than anyone in Division 1. Man, we were something." (Enter chest bumping here)

Good post.

Looks like neither of them sent them into ohsaa. Many have the 2011 season posted.
I have found this pretty common over the years , that some coaches just don't submit information. For this reason , is it a record or not if it is not listed? Our high school coach has been bad about this over the years.

I agree with t-mike, great post wvanalmsick! ... and thank you for taking a few moments to post the best thought in this thread.

I believe wvan "gets it" ... IMO, proof positive that "getting it" has nothing to do with Louisville or any other area/team specifically, it has everything to do with taking a second to understand before letting loose with a volley of hater grenades.

I make no bones about it, I am a Louisville "homer"!! ... at the same time, I hope I am able to keep some sense of objectivity - I do actually try because its ignorant not to.

To bash a bunch of young ladies or a team , a coach that I know did everything to boost there season by playing 9 federal league games and winning all of them and saying that beating Hoover early means nothing....is crazy, to go undefeated in the federal league is unbelievable for a smaller D1 team. Thats all the respect that Louisville wants... Playing in the NBC is something that they have done since 86 I think..I know the coach wants to play in the FL but politics keeps him there. So haters keep talking and hopefully this coming season we have some great match ups and see who will come out of the Massillon District and have a chance at the state championship once again!!!!! :yahoo:

no one was bashing players.
