N.KY. HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
Boone County gets lift from Knothole veterans
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Becky Bishop and Amber Janneck preferred baseball over fast-pitch softball, and until this season the Boone County duo played on a Knothole team.
“I guess a lot of their friends talked them into playing softball,” Boone County coach Patti Oliverio said. “Both of them have been a tremendous help to us.”
In a 15-3 victory over Fern Creek on Saturday, Bishop and Janneck played important roles as the Rebels improved to 18-11.
Bishop went 3-for-4, including two doubles and three RBI, and Janneck had two hits.
• Ryle 10, Bishop Brossart 0 — Junior Amber Brady pitched a no-hitter, striking out seven, and collected two hits in three at-bats, including a triple and three RBI.
“Brossart didn't hit a ball out of the infield,” Ryle coach Lisa Brockhoeft said.

Brett Dietz drove in three runs, and pitcher Tony Maynard went the distance for Covington Catholic in it 10-2 victory over Simon Kenton.
In a 3-2 victory over Holy Cross, Jon Hembree drove in all three runs.
• Owen County Invitational — Bishop Brossart defeated Conner 10-0 and Owen County 15-0 to capture the title.
