CELEBRATING THE BEST OF THE BEST!
What an incredible afternoon at the 2026 4th Region Baseball & Softball Awards Ceremony as we honored the outstanding student-athletes, coaches, and teams who made this season one to remember.
From record-breaking performances and championship moments, today was a celebration of the very best our region has to offer.
A special thank you to all of the players, coaches, families, school administrators, and fans who joined us in recognizing the achievements of these remarkable young men and women. Your dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to excellence continue to make the 4th Region one of the premier baseball and softball regions in Kentucky.
We would also like to thank Franklin Bank & Trust for their support of today's event, Coach Jason Jaggers for his outstanding work coordinating the voting process and communication with coaches throughout the region, and Mallory Hudson, 2023 Miss Kentucky and 2024 Miss America Third Runner-Up, for her gracious assistance in presenting today's awards and helping make the ceremony a memorable experience for all involved.
Congratulations to all of our award winners and nominees. Being recognized among the best players in the 4th Region is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to the countless hours of hard work invested both on and off the field.
Today was more than an awards ceremony it was a celebration of excellence, character, leadership, and the incredible future of high school baseball and softball throughout South Central Kentucky.
Be sure to watch for photos and award highlights from today's ceremony on Sporting Times and STLivestream social media platforms.
Safe to say that the Late Night shows aren't what they used to be...
Billy Graham on Johnny Carson in 1973
Carson: You know it sounds awful, but if you asked me to name all [10 Commandments] right now, I would probably leave one out somewhere.
Graham: Oh, I think you could think of all of them, because all of us have broken all of them, so I think we could figure them out.
Carson: You think everybody...
Graham: Everybody has broken every commandment, yes, sir. The Bible says if we break in one point, we're guilty of all...
Carson: Oh, I see.
Graham: ...and then when Jesus came after Moses, He explained that the 10 Commandments can be broken in your heart by thought and intent, so in that sense, we're all guilty, and that's the reason the Bible says that everybody's a sinner, even Ed is a sinner.

The Hall of Fame Era Committee meets this Sunday, December 7th. Dale Murphy needs 12 of 16 votes. You never know who will see this and their vote may be the one that puts Murph over the top. Please retweet if you love Murph and believe he deserves to be honored in Cooperstown.
All I can say is… wow! Nancy and I and the whole Murphy family are just blown away by this. Thank you to all you fans who organized and put the work in to make this. I’m so overwhelmed and humbled by your kindness and support.
Last year, Bill Nye the Science Guy said the best way to stop hurricanes was to vote for Kamala Harris.
This year, the United States marked its first hurricane-free September in a decade.
Moral of the story? Stop listening to climate alarmists.
God loves you, and He wants to forgive you. He wants to cleanse you. He wants to set you free. But the only way is through the Cross. You’ve got to come to Him through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

Charlie Kirk exposes the problems with "American Christianity" & tells us what the real role of church should be:
"Church is not a place where you go to be affirmed. Church is a place where you go to be corrected; to learn what sin & the law of God is, & why you need the cross."
Pastor Daryl’s message @GFCFlorida was from John Chapter 5. Jesus meets a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years and asks him “Do you want to be healed?” Jesus then tells him to get up, pick up his mat & walk. The man obeyed and was healed.
Pastor’s question: Do we really want to be healed? Do we want healing enough to obey everything God tells us to do?
Obedience to God’s word will bring comfort and direction to our lives but we have to do what God tells us. We can’t delay and we can’t be half in. We have to be all in if we want to receive His blessings.
I hate that the judicial system has so eroded that you can determine what the judge’s decision will be before he/she even rules based on his/her politics..it is supposed to be about the law, and not what team are you on
“I’m 159 days into reading the Bible… I just wanna encourage people to join a church, get in a group study, & get in The Word”

FLASHBACK: Joe Biden's Press Secretary...
"The President does not view the stock market as a means to judge the economy."
Does anyone flip-flop more than Democrats?
Jesus didn't hangout with sinners because he affirmed and celebrated their lifestyles.
He spent time with sinners to show them their need for a Savior, and to teach them a different way of living.
Pastor Black gave the message @GFCFlorida today. He continued the series on communication by hitting on the power of listening. How do we listen to God and to others?
His points:
Listening starts with the heart. Listening is hindered by distractions.
Outside noise limits our ability to hear.
Listening is an act of love.
His questions:
Do we direct our hearts and quiet our lives to really hear from God?
Do we really listen to people when we converse with them?
His advice (based on James 1):
Pause
Process
Pray
Practice
Don't be gaslit. Zelensky broke protocol and decided to debate VP Vance on President Trump's diplomatic worldview. That's how this started.
He was out of line and disrespectful. Trump and Vance did exactly what needed to be done. Bravo indeed!

Ukrainian-born Indiana Congresswoman @RepSpartz reacts to explosive Oval Office exchange on The @MattGaetz Show: “[Zelenskyy] wants to be a dictator forever…He’s acting no better than Putin,” adding, “He liked Biden who can have the slush fund for him and his friends can funnel the money,” after Zelenskyy gets booted from the White House.
