  1. Fieldhouse is awesome. Fantastic venue and great concession stand. But there’s something about the Roy that just grabs me a bit more...even though my Neers have a hex on them there!
  2. Dixie definitely a program on the rise. Nice wins last night. Congrats on a nice start. Lexi Held from Cooper such a nice player. Does a little bit of everything.
  3. SK played tough down the stretch and was in a good position to win the bout. Niece was awesome down the stretch scoring like last 13 points. Not sure why when Etown coach saw the punches, elbows and technicals, that he put her back in. I know why, winning was more important than teaching lessons. Disappointing For sure. I wonder if she would have been suspended for had she received a second t ? As far as home cooking goes, It was embarrassing. Have to believe there's no way those guys will be in Highland Heights. On a positive note, the preschool class that sang the national anthem before the game was awesome. Well done
  4. JC is playing like a senior should at this time of the season. He made good decisions with the ball and his team looked for him when they got into trouble. Well done. I'm a SK guy but really thought Holmes had some bad calls against them at inopportune times. Holmes coach comes out challenging stuff that doesn't need challenged and then that rolls into two bench T's in a matter of minutes. That certainly didn't help their cause with subsequent calls. Dogs didn't quit though; SK would roll to a 14-16 point lead and Holmes cut it to a 2 possession game. Pretty solid effort from them on senior night.
  5. Fun game to watch. CovCath the more talented and the better team on the scoreboard last night. But, SK is a talented team as well and it is finally starting to show in the final result of their games. Pioneers getting guys to play within their roles/strengths on the offensive end and I like what they've been doing on the defensive end. Should make for an interesting 32nd tourney. Like someone said earlier, can't imagine a better 4 seed in any district. I only see CovCath a couple of times a year but I sensed a frustration with them last night that I don't usually see; both the coaches and players. Not sure if it was a disbelief that they couldn't bury a team with some bad quality L's or the fact that they weren't playing well....or maybe it was the fact that they weren't used to the 8th Region referees. Actually wasn't called all that bad compared to what I've seen in the 8th but that didn't show in their faces and reactions. That certainly didn't help their cause with the stripes with subsequent calls. On the cursing front; I don't condone but unfortunately it has become a coaching style of many. I don't often hear it screamed across a gym like that but if you get close to most benches, you are going to hear it. Wouldn't throw too many stones at that glass house. Best of Luck to both teams.
  6. Granted there are only 4 frames here but the flagrant foul on this was a joke. Ohmer's off balance air routines often have him hitting the deck.
  7. Fun game to watch. SK kids played hard especially on offensive glass. Mason kids really got after it on the press. In the end, free throw shooting for SK was a big difference in the game. Not sure what they shot but it couldn't have been 50%. Surprised by small crowd from Mason County fans.
  8. I purchased tickets for three different sessions. The arena is first class for basketball; Diddle is nice but I don't think it is as nice as NKU. Promotion might have bolstered the attendance but the attendance didn't affect our experience of going and supporting the tourney. *Parking was a breeze and reasonable- better than WKU, *tickets affordable ($11 vs the $18 for boys tickets that I see online) *concession stand prices are reasonable- between high school and pro arena (small cheese pizza $6, pretzel $4, Bread sticks the size of a small pizza $3, Large Popcorn less than movies, chicken tenders and fries like $7, jumbo drink $5) *concession stand service was quick; personnel were friendly. On Saturday night, a manager was directing traffic so that there was virtually no wait. *A hotel within 30 minutes of the hotel is reasonable to me. SK stayed at an absolute dump on a visit to girls state tourney back in 08; it was 20 mins from the arena but I wouldn't stay there and I'm not all that picky. I hope it stays at BB&T. I've attended KHSAA state championships in football, boys and girls b-ball (both locations), baseball and wrestling and say; pay up St. E and keep the tourney in NKY!
  9. Murray kids spent all they had. Well done coaches and players. Glad I got to see this one
  10. Great game, tough L for Etown. Didn't like the D at the end. They dared Butler to make a shot and they did.
  11. They announced the crowd this afternoon on the audio broadcast as the second largest crowd ever to see a girls Sweet 16 game. 6,000 plus.
  12. Father of 3 daughters; not appropriate today or yesteryear. Maybe I'm a bit conservative but that's my opinion. When I read the title, I thought oh no somebody messed up and did what...then I read it is regular practice.
  13. No doubt; great points and your percentages are probably close. But as you said, 1,800 students and I would say there were less than 20 there. Between the boys and girls tourney, there were 4 district games and 4 regional games...not a single student section at any of those 8 games. There aren't may people who have seen more SK sports games than me but I can't ever remember seeing this. Maybe the kids didn't realize they could have had a day off if they had gotten to state and won a game! I've beat this dead horse enough and this will be my last comments on this topic but our schools are our communities. I'd like to hope that the stakeholders of students, teachers, administrators and the communities don't lose sight of this. Yeah, I'm naive but I enjoyed watching the Wagners and Cooks support SK for decades setting a wonderful example.
