Just saw that Green-up county and Portsmouth Native Gage Hughes was drafted in the 24th round by the Kansas City Royals. Congrats to him and good luck.

sorry, for the error, didn't know this was English class. But anyway, yes quite an accomplishment for the young man. I know his mom and aunts were tremendous athletes too. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you will ManitouDan2) but didn't Gage go to wheelersburg at one point then transferred to Greenup?ManitouDan2 wrote: Sat Jun 09, 2018 9:47 am Green-up ? are you sure he's from Ports-Mouth ? Anyway congrats to Gage
Well he actually did and played jr high baseball at Burg while playing on a very good travel ball team. Was told that wouldnt be an issue until some of the Burg parents kids werent playing and Gage missed a few practices due to travel ball (which was an understanding). So after the b!tching from those parents, Gage was told he couldnt play both Jr High and travel ball and miss jr high practices. So he went to Greenup Co and the rest is history.sportsnation wrote: Sun Jun 10, 2018 10:07 am i think he actually lives in Wheel-Ers-Burg. its a shame he didn't come to the Burg he would've won some state titles

Not only would he have been a great addition to Burg's baseball program, but the kid scored almost 3000 points in basketball while at Greenup Co.
And they live in Franklin Furnace, not Burg btw.
Cry me a river, 1 kid that could've went to burg didn't. Open enrollment has ruined some of the local sports programs, and wheelersburg seems to benefit the most from it.sportsnation wrote: Sun Jun 10, 2018 10:07 am i think he actually lives in Wheel-Ers-Burg. its a shame he didn't come to the Burg he would've won some state titles
Exactly my point. Like it was a forgone conclusion he should have went to burg and he didn't even live in the district, while some districts would just like to see the kids living in the district go to that school, not even worrying about kids coming in from other districts.Mavrick2016 wrote: Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:46 am Gage lives in High Furnace, which is Green School District.
He went to the Burg until he transfer to Greenup Co.

Hard to tell a kid he can miss practice to do travel ball and you tell other kids they can’t miss practice for track. Coach realized it was a little bit of a double standard and he corrected it.Bleeding Red wrote: Mon Jul 23, 2018 2:58 pmNot too much more than that.fbnut wrote: Wed Jul 11, 2018 5:42 pmActually a little more to that story than that.Bleeding Red wrote: Mon Jun 11, 2018 8:48 am
