As we all probably know by now, Maximum Security was disqualified in a confusing shakeup at the #KentuckyDerby2019 . What you may not know is that M.S. is trained by Jefferson County’s own Jason Servis. Needless to say, some J-Co residents aren’t happy. Story to come soon.

The Trojans’ (1-26) season is over after a 22-2 loss at Jefferson (13-13) this morning. Postponed by storms last night, the Cougars now have to turn around and face Washington at 2 p.m. If they lose, @PatriotsSftbll will advance to regionals. #wvprepsb bit.ly/2J094nC

I asked them to attribute the info to the DA, and everything would be fine with me. wdtv.com/content/news/W…
I don’t want to make a big deal out of this, because it’s not. But please just be decent enough to respect us. People worked hard for that story. So click this link and see other fine examples of student journalism thetouted.com
I submitted my piece on student journalism to The Touted, a new org dedicated to promoting student journalism. So, I feel it’s timely to say that after @WDTV5News published info only we reported and didn’t attribute us, I called them and was told to pretty much go kick rocks
Déjà vu? Yep. Washington advances to the Class AAA, Region II tourney against Hedgesville this upcoming week after downing Jefferson 13-4 to claim the Section 2 title. 📝 Jordyn Brown: 6 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 2 SO, 1 BB // 1-2, 3 RBI, 1 SO, 1 HR #wvprepsb bit.ly/30523ac

Tied in the seventh in their final Virginia Beach game, Stevie Lee saved the day. Next on the list: Spring Mills, tomorrow at 7 p.m. #wvprepbase bit.ly/2DFbDXP
It was a big week for @kylie_condon. She broke two season marks – one held by Mikayla Willingham, Sophie Crowder, and Alycia Lambert – and shattered Caitlin Myers' all-time RBI record. As if that's not enough, she's on her way to breaking more. #wvprepsb bit.ly/2DtF4fp
Rachel Cunningham (@Rachel_dawnn) made the most of her senior year tourney in S.C. with a 7-for-9 , 7-RBI, 3 GP line. Her performance was the most consistent of the week, proving why she’s been the biggest X-Factor for the Cougars in 2019. #wvprepsb bit.ly/2GC0UiJ
Cullen “Bear” Horowicz picked up HR #7 of the year at the Mingo Bay Classic in Myrtle Beach, helping lead the Cougars in a 2-2 split. Other standouts include @coleson_titus (who went 3-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI at Carolina Forest) and James Walsh. #wvprepbase bit.ly/2GBDZnN

Hitting stands and our website tomorrow: @TCenate, @brittlc3422 and @madison_cenate are the new face of a legacy born in the 90s. They're currently leading @PatriotsSftbll in a perfect 18-0 season, and will be crucial in a successful postseason run. #wvprepsb
More notes: 📝 @TCenate – 8 SO, 1 ER 📝 Mackenzie Myers – 10 RBI, 1 HR 📝 Brown – 8 RBI, 1 HR. 📝 Ruffner – 2 HR, 8 RBI Pitcher updates: 🥎 Cenate (7-0) –768 ERA / 18 SO / .192 BAA 🥎 Brown (6-0) – .233 ERA / .178 BAA / 33 SO 🥎 Ruffner (5-0) – 1.329 ERA / .158 BAA / 28 SO
A few revisions from this weekend, but the main point stands: Washington dominated the Bub Riggleman tourney. Notes: 📝 24.2 I, 72-1 RF/RA 📝 @kylie_condon – 3 HR, 15 RBI 📝 @JordynBrownnn – 2 W, 11 SO 📝 @hannahruffner_ – 2 W, 11 SO, 3 H bit.ly/2PcH8gC #wvprepsb
Six games. 23.5 innings. 1 ER. 11 homers. Talk about a dominating weekend for @PatriotsSftbll . The Moorefield Tournament trophy is coming to Charles Town with a 10-0 victory over Hedgesville. Oh, and they’re still undefeated with 18 games under their belts. 🔥 #wvprepsb
Through 51 innings, WHS holds a 108-6 RF/RA ratio. That’s CRAZY. A few reasons why @PatriotsSftbll is 11-0: 1. Their sense of teamwork is beyond the high school level. 2. They have a phenomenal pitching corps. 3. They have scary batters. #wvprepsb bit.ly/2UrQn2k
