Congrats to Dixie. St. Henry will challenge Highlands, Beechwood, or Ryle in round 1 with their ace.

Congrats to the Tigers. They seem to be in the hunt for the region title each year. I don't see anyone other than Ryle, CovCath, or Beechwood winning the 9th region tourney. The draw will be important and interesting. We could see two KY Top 25s face off in round one.

That would be nice, but I'm sure Savage will continue to get reps on offense. He's fun to watch.

Cooper is 3-14 vs. Ryle winning in 2012, 2014, and 2015. The only year they played twice was in 2016, with Ryle winning 49-42 and 49-20.

We heard the same thing last year about the streak will end. How did that turn out (28-10 Ryle)? I believe it will be a tight battle between two good, evenly matched rivals. The game could go either way. Cooper is due, having lost 9 in a row to Ryle including 2 losses in 2016.

I noticed the nice game recap in the NKY Tribune. Congrats to the Raiders on the walk-off win yesterday. Number 9 hitter Tate Cordrey launched a 2-run bomb with two outs in the bottom of the 7th. Two evenly matched teams with excellent regular seasons.

Kudos to Cooper on another great season and phenomenal 3-year run of dominating the 9th region. Great effort vs. SHA again. Well done, Lady Jags. NKY is proud of you!

Congrats to Dan! I believe that everyone on BGP will pull for him to enjoy success, just like we did for Bryson. It’s great that he teaches at the school, which is essential for relational bonding.

Thanks FC. Classy post as usual.

I hated to see that Tay went down at the beginning of the game, and Newport dug deep to win without a star player. Kudos to the Wildcats. Thanks to 859 Sports radio. I enjoyed listening. From a listener’s perspective, it sounded like the refs had no control over the game.

What a great game by 2 outstanding teams. That was fun to watch (except for LexCath fans). State finals caliber game for sure. Congrats to Great Crossing on the comeback win.

SK is a great “second half” story this season. I’m pulling for the Neers to win their third straight regional game and cut down a net or two. Good luck, SK!

Great job by Cooper to dominate this game.

Over 40% of BGPers have voted for CovCath. Cooper beat them earlier this year in Park Hills, so a slight majority of people believing the Jags will win should not be a shocker. No one, especially the Jags, is underestimating CovCath.

Cooper is playing the best of any team in the 9th right now. They will always play solid defense. Only an off-shooting night keeps the Jags from Rupp. If they get beat, it will be a last-possession ending. Good luck to the Jags!
