  1. Unsure on this one but we were 1 point away from Scott and Cooper playing for the championship in 2017. That would have been special. This Campbell - Newport game is 50/50 IMO. There are not too many teams that are as hot as Campbell going into the tournament. They are sharing the ball extremely well and they are not caring about who the leading scorer is. I really like Garyn Jackson as someone who will play a "significant" role in this game. They young man just plays non-stop the entire game and simply makes plays. If Newport plays the way they have played mid-late season, they could come away with the win. Who knows what Kinney will bring to the table as, rightly so, Newport is keeping that close to the vest. If they can't score, as normal, against the zone and they shoot like they did against Ryle, they could very well lose. Glad to see at least one of them will be representing NKY in the quarter finals. Good luck to both squads.
  2. I will give you props on the score prediction. I had no idea Newport would hold the ball as much as they did but it was the smart thing to do and it paid off and achieved the objective so kudos to Coach Snapp, excellent coaching. As to your Buffalo Bills comment you couldn’t be more incorrect. In fact, I would state that both the Boys and Girls Basketball teams as well as the Football teams have overachieved. For a school that has only been in existence for 16 years there has been significant progress made and no other school that was started in 2008 has done more “collectively” than Cooper. The 2017 boys team shocked the State with that regional win, the girls team has now won the region 3 straight times including a trip to the final 4, the 2012 football team went to the State finals being just 5 years old, they’ve added 2 more regional titles since then and the 2023 team shocked the State again making it to the finals and that team was a year ahead of schedule. What Cooper has achieved is hard, really hard and I certainly wouldn’t put them in the Buffalo Bills category, that’s not even close and there are a ton schools that would love to have the Jags resume in that short of time span. I’ll close with my thoughts and prayers go out to Kinney as the injury looked significant and I am wishing the Wildcats and Coach Snapp nothing but success in the Sweet 16!! Time for all of NKY to rally around Newport or Campbell and it’s just a shame they have to play each other first game.
  3. Man I telling you. Sounds like a lot of people just want to complain about a really good basketball game about to take place. Folks had almost 48 hours to go to one of the schools and get an $8 ticket and if you want to complain about the $5 parking there are plenty of off site places to park if you don't mind walking a little and with the weather being above 60 degrees today what is there to complain about? 859 Radio is an for those who want to listen.
  4. Couldn't agree more! He works his tail off on his AAU team as well. He's an energizer bunny!
  5. I’ve said since January that once the Jags have a full roster I expect them to be a tough out and I’m sticking to that prediction. I expect Cooper will be at full strength and yes, that includes Rondon. Cooper has been locked in even more on defense since Andy Johnson’s return and he adds a punch on offense that they didn’t have while he was out for almost 3 months. Newport has Kinney who is just special and the advantage of size but I firmly believe that the Jags physicality of Pouncy and Combs can will neutralize that advantage as in their first meeting which was a 2 point game with just under 2 mins to go. Isaiah Johnson is that hidden weapon who’s just quietly comes up with a block or an offensive put back when you least expect it. Depth could play huge part in this game if there is foul trouble and Cooper”s rotation of 9-10 players could pay a huge role if that happens. This game has the makings another 9th Region classic…Get you popcorn ready!! Go Jags!!
  6. Well said! Rankings are just that, “someone’s” opinion and opinions don’t step on the court. Great Crossing beat Newport by 2 points. Lyon Co. blew out Lex Cath by 20, Newport beat Lyon Co. by 2, see where I’m going? There are some EXCELLENT teams on this list that could end up in the finals and win it all.
  7. There won’t be any “holding of the ball” I can assure you of that. Unlike the majority of the teams Newport and Cooper have faced playing Zone, the Wildcats and Jags don’t play it!! I’ll shocked if they do. Not to mention there’s a long history between many of these players dating back to when they first started playing basketball so there’s a little bit of bragging rights to be claimed lol. While they are great friends off the court, none of them are backing down from one another. If Coach Snapp or Coach Sully puts a player in the game you can rest assured said player is going to play solid man-to-man defense or he’s coming to sit down. It will most likely be a low scoring game but the reasoning will be because of tough defense. In first match up this season, the Jags were without Rondon and Andy Johnson and it went down to the wire. I expect the same with those two players in the lineup. Taking the Jags due to their overall depth.
  8. After last year’s episode it was the best thing and I agree with it fully.
  9. I will absolutely concur that Harney is a straight BALLER!! Has Zero fear of anything! He definitely seemed to be putting it all on his shoulders. Cooper’s bench didn’t contribute a ton in the scoring column but they certainly were able to provide rest for the starters and played solid defense and little drop off to give the starters a break. Great contribution from the footballer Alexander. I see your point regarding CCH rebounding. The Jags owned the boards 36-19. Newports size creates problems for most teams but I do look forward to seeing a full game of man-to-man defense which Coach Snapp and Coach Sully believe in. Gonna be a great game!
  10. Jags outscored CCH 15-2 in the 4th qtr!! Wow! 😳 Defense, Defense and oh yeah, Defense!!
  11. Hope this one was worth the drive! Safe travels back down South!
  12. That’s 3 wins in a row vs CCH. Not sure when the last time that’s happened but it doesn’t matter, I only bring it up because someone mentioned a while ago that CCH rarely loses to the same team twice in a year. Like most teams who play zone against the Jags it takes a while for them to get going. In this game CCH was making their zone work but Cooper kept hanging in there and all of the sudden CCH went to man-to-man for some reason only down 6 and all I could do was 😊 and run was on! Congrats to Coach Sully and the Jags! To put this game away like they did is a testament to how much he stresses the importance on the defensive end! No shame in winning ugly! Good luck to the Jags and prayers to Mil who looked to re-injure his shoulder but I hope he’s ready for Tuesday. Go Jags!!
  13. EXACTLY!! The guards from Cooper are “kinda good” too 😊. In fact, one of them has played against some of the best competition in the world! There are more match-up problems for CCH than there are for the Jags not to mention the Jags depth with 10 players in rotation. One point I know for certain and without question, not one coach or player in a Jag uniform is taking CCH lightly, underestimating or any other term one might use, nor are they remotely thinking about the game in January as it means absolutely NOTHING and their coach won’t allow it. While either team is capable of winning, I will take Cooper especially if they play anywhere close to the performance they displayed on Friday.
