  1. Regardless if he wins it or not, his career at Covington Holmes has been a success. IMO Mr. Basketball is an award based on the current season, and while Ricardo has been a stud this season, nothing he has done has jumped out at you. His career on the other hand does State Champion last year, MVP of the sweet 16, a career record of 94-10, 2 regional championships and possibly a third, every year he has seen varsity playing time at Covington Holmes he has at least went to the State Championship game, Second team all state last year, Full ride to Univeristy of Ohio, I mean the kid has a long list of accolades, as does Mr. Pittman. And as unselfish as Ricardo is, I think for another trip to Rupp and another run at the Championship, he would trade in all those personal accolades. Mr. Basketball is an individual award, it is a huge accomplishment, but I am sure in March, in the middle of 9th region play that is the furthest thing from Ricardo's mind right now. I guess in closing I will say that if this award is based on current season success I would not be shocked one bit if Ric didn't win it. If it is based on the career's I would be shocked if anyone else got it. But at the end of the day, the region and sweet 16 is all that kid cares about and as long as he is focused it means nothing but good things for Holmes.
  2. If you are going to pay $5 for an adult ticket to get into a game then the $6 advance tickets for these sessions are only $1 more. And if you wait until the day of the the game $8 to watch 2 games wont really put a damper on anyone I don't think. I think the space, the atmosphere, and the kids playing in a smaller version of a college gym help once the champion makes there way down to Rupp as well. I think it should be held at BOKC as long at the BOKC will allow it.
  3. The NCC win over Highlands has already got this tournament off to a fun start... Cant wait to see some of the potential matchups this years tourny could bring us. Great games to be seen at BOK this year!
  4. Elijah has rarely been in foul trouble this season, Ricardo is more likely to wind up in foul trouble out of the big 3 than anyone. Eli has done a great job of that this season I must say
  5. Holmes jumped up early and ran away from beechwood, Holmes had 24 in the first quarter, beechwood scored its 24th point on a buzzer beater at the end of the 3rd. Pittman (4) and Ricardo Johnson (13) scored all there points in the first quarter. Elijah picked up his second foul early in the second, sat until halftime, picked up his 3rd early in the 3rd and sat the rest of the game, Johnson also picked up his 3rd midway thru the 3rd and sat the rest of the contest. Holmes could have won by 40, but after stretching the lead to 28, Henley let Herndon, Hayes, and Rice carry the load the rest of the way.
  6. Is there any clue when this one will be made up now or are they just cancelling it all together?
  7. I wasn't there at this one, but every time I am in attendence or read posts on here, Pittman is going off. He dominates night in and night out for this Holmes team and really even though there play has been up and down, his solid efforts every game keep them in games even when others aren't playing well. He is a dominate inside presence and found his outside range tonight. Glad to see that, and hopefully he keeps putting up these kind of numbers and the dogs can reel off some wins here down the stretch to be there mid march.
  8. My thoughts are hopefully the snow stay north of Covington tonight and they can get this one in. Should be a good game, Holmes coming off a good effort tonight at Highlands, looking to build some consistancy down the stretch. Hopefully they are focused and poised to take care of business
  9. Big win for Holmes... Now consistancy has to happen. They can't play good tonight and then slack off against lesser opponets
  10. I see this being a very slow, low scoring contest and I think in the end, Holy Cross will be worn down by the size of Thelen and the gang at Cov Cath. I will take CC to win this one by about 10.
  11. I think Ryle has been playing at or above a level I thought they were capible of the last 2 weeks. I know Dixie has Hatton and Pike and just gave Holmes all they wanted, but I think I am going to go with Ryle in this one, in a close game on the road. They sneak out with a 3 point win.
  12. These teams both have "bi-polar" tendencies, so it really depends on which team shows up. If Holmes comes in playing hard, getting the ball in deep to Pittman, avoiding silly mistakes, and playing the type of ball that they have showed glimpse's that they are capable of, they win this one easy. If they come in playing the type of ball that got them beat by Ryle, nearly by Dixie, and that kept Villa Madonna and Beechwood in the game for over a half, and Highlands plays with in there game plan and can somehow crash down on Pittman and make Holmes settle for jumpers or for turnovers then Highlands has a chance to win this one. I however will make my prediction saying both teams play to the level they are capible and I got Holmes by 10.
  13. Raleigh did have him first, he picked up 2 quick, they then switch to Pike, and once he picked up 2 they put the other kid on him. They used alot of fouls on Pittman and I think that was part of the game plan.
