8-30-09 I was given the following sad news from another coach. Breckinridge county lost their shortstop, Kalyn Whitworth to an accident Saturday night. We would like to ask all coaches to keep Coach Adam Cox and the Whitworth family in their prayers.

8-24-09 Beginning with the 2010 season the distance from the pitching rubber to home plate in fast pitch softball will move from 40 to 43 feet. The measure was approved by the KHSAA Board of Control in a unanimous vote during a special meeting on Monday in Lexington .

8-5-09 Wayne McGaughey, a loyal and caring umpire who officiated Girls Fastpitch for several years in the 8th region, and in various leagues and tournaments passed away on Monday-August 3rd. Wayne was a very kind, caring, warm, and
friendly person who loved the game of softball; and the comradely that is prevalent in the sport of Girls Fastpitch. For all who knew Wayne, they
were divinely touched by a man who showed a gift of love and respect to all. It will not be the same at the park without Wayne but we can all say
that we benefited greatly by knowing him. He leaves a legacy of kindness and peace for which we all strive, he was always full of Joy and looked on the positive side of life. Thanks- Wayne for the memories. (provided by Charles Haselwood – 11^th region umpire). Click for obituary
