  1. I believe previous was 1994, when MC Napier beat Highlands 88-56. That 88 remains the most points given up by a defense in a championship game tho
  2. 62-55 Mercer with 1:48 left 1:38 -- OC’s McKay hits jumper, 62-57 (then four straight fouls by OC to create bonus) 44 sec – MC’s Davis hits 2 throws, 64-57 34 sec – OC’s Keelin hits a 3, 64-60 31 sec – MC’s Robins misses front end of bonus 14 sec – OC’s Clemens scores on stick-back, 64-62 14 sec – MC’s Robins misses front end of bonus 8 sec – OC’s Mitchel hits 1 of 2 throws, 64-63 6 sec – MC’s Robins hits 1 of 2 throws, 65-63 4 sec – OC turnover 4 sec – MC’s Faith Lake hits 2 of 2 throws, 67-63 2 sec – OC’s Keelin hits a 3, 67-66
  3. Impressed by both teams' ball movement. 20 assists and 18 assists. (For comparison's sake, 7 and 11 in the Mercer Co.-Murray game.) First time seeing GRC play in a couple of years. A lot of poise. Even after the one player got thrown down on the rebound, just went about their business. Igo. Wow. 4 of 4 from the line, 4 of 4 from three-point range, 22 points, 6 assists. And Behanan? 21 points (9 of 9 from line), 8 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals. It was a joy watching her play.
  4. (Not much chatter leading up to the Sweet Sixteen, so …) Was curious how well the teams knew each other. Did research. Mercer County, for example, hasn’t played a single other team in the state tournament. Obviously, that’s not indicative of the strength of the Titans’ schedule, so I also looked at records vs. teams in the BGP final week Top 20 (could easily have used any poll, I guess). Please correct any errors and omissions. And by all means fill in the underlying narrative, caveats, perspective and intangibles. For example, which teams are hot (hmmm, Manual is 4-7 against Top 20 but 4-2 in last six such games)? … Which are not? … Which teams have players injured? ... Which have had injured players return (SK’s Niece)? ... Which teams (like Mercer Co.) have also played tough out-of-state competition? ... Which players have been here before (interestingly, only six teams return from last year’s tournament)? ... Which coaches thrive in these games? ... Which will have the biggest crowds? And so on. In bracket order, with overall records: Johnson Central (20-12): ----- 1-1 vs. Sweet 16 (beat KCC. … lost to Boyd Co.) ----- 1-2 vs. Top 20 (beat Shelby Valley. … lost to Shelby Valley, Boyd Co.) Owensboro Catholic (26-7): ----- 0-3 vs. Sweet 16 (lost to Etown, Webster Co., Murray) ----- 0-4 vs. Top 20 (lost to Etown, Sacred Heart, South Warren, Murray) Murray (32-2): ----- 4-0 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Webster Co., GRC twice, Owensboro Catholic) ----- 6-2 vs. Top 20 (beat Lincoln Co. twice, Conner, GRC twice, Shelby Valley. … lost to South Warren, Male) Mercer County (32-3): ----- 0-0 vs. Sweet 16 ----- 7-1 vs. Top 20 (beat Sacred Heart, Campbell Co., Butler twice, Male, Lincoln Co. twice. … lost to Sacred Heart) George Rogers Clark (26-7): ----- 1-3 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Mercy. … lost to Murray twice, Manual) ----- 3-7 vs. Top 20 (beat Mercy, Lincoln Co., Campbell Co. … lost to Sacred Heart, Campbell Co., South Warren, Murray twice, Manual, Male) Harlan County (28-2): ----- 1-1 vs. Sweet 16 (beat KCC. … lost to Etown) ----- 1-2 vs. Top 20 (beat Anderson Co. … lost to Anderson Co., Etown) Elizabethtown (33-2): ----- 4-0 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Mercy, Harlan Co., Simon Kenton, Owensboro Catholic) ----- 3-1 vs. Top 20 (beat Mercy, South Warren, Simon Kenton. … lost to Campbell Co.) Bowling Green (20-12): ----- 1-0 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Webster Co.) ----- 1-3 vs. Top 20 (beat South Warren. … lost to South Warren three times) Ryle (28-6): ----- 2-2 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Simon Kenton twice. … lost to Mercy, Scott Co.) ----- 6-3 vs. Top 20 (beat SK twice, Conner three times, Lincoln Co. … lost to Campbell Co., Mercy, Scott Co.) Simon Kenton (20-10): ----- 0-4 vs. Sweet 16 (lost to Ryle twice, Scott Co., Etown) ----- 3-6 vs. Top 20 (beat Eastern, Conner, Anderson Co. … lost to Ryle twice, Scott Co., Etown, Male, Campbell Co) Mercy (22-9): ----- 2-2 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Ryle, Manual. … lost to Etown, GRC) ----- 5-6 vs. Top 20 (beat Anderson Co., Ryle, Manual, Male, Butler. … lost to Eastern, Etown, GRC, Conner, Butler, Sacred Heart) Knott Co. Central (24-9): ----- 0-2 vs. Sweet 16 (lost to Harlan Co., Johnson Central) ----- 0-1 vs. Top 20 (lost to Eastern) Boyd County (27-4): ----- 1-1 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Johnson Central. … lost to Scott Co.) ----- 1-2 vs. Top 20 (beat Male. … lost to Male, Scott Co.) Webster County (28-6): ----- 1-2 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Owensboro Catholic. … lost to Murray, Bowling Green) ----- 0-1 vs. Top 20 (lost to Murray) Scott County (31-2): ----- 4-0 vs. Sweet 16 (beat Boyd Co., Manual, Ryle, Simon Kenton) ----- 4-1 vs. Top 20 (beat Boyd Co., Manual, Ryle, Simon Kenton. … lost to South Warren) DuPont Manual (21-8): ----- 1-2 vs. Sweet 16 (beat GRC. … lost to Mercy, Scott Co.) ----- 4-7 vs. Top 20 (beat Eastern twice, GRC, Sacred Heart. … lost to Eastern, Male, Sacred Heart twice, Mercy, Scott Co., Butler)
  5. Haven't written on this site in a while, don't know PP92 or his son ... but 7x70 likes to this post and to this father. I'm drink a coffee or a bourbon with him anytime, I'd gladly listen to him talk about basketball or anything, and judging from what he's written here after a devastating loss, I'd take advice from him as well. I want to publicly thank him for this example of how it should be done. - hittheboards19
  6. FWIW: Ohio (seven divisions), five of the seven games decided by a touchdown or less: Ohio High School Athletic Association Attendance: D1: 13,690 (Clev. St. Ignatius vs Cin. St. Xavier) D2: 6,750 D3: 7,396 D4: 8,646 D5: 5,954 D6: 6,270 D7: 6,725
  7. When tiny Covington Holy Cross played in (and won the state championship) at E.A. Diddle two years ago in women's basketball, attendance for its four sessions was listed at: 4,461 (opening game against Bell County, with E-town v. Mercer County right after). 5,521 (quarter-final against E-town, with Male v. Henderson County before). 4,604 (semis vs. Male, with Mason Co. v. Allen County afterward) 5,335 (championship vs. Allen County). My understanding at the time was that these were fairly high attendance figures historically but by no means a record. So Bellarmine would seem a bit small.
  8. Guard from Dixie Heights used the Euro ("did" the Euro? "Performed" the Euro? "Took?" "Utilized?" "Demonstrated?") the other night in the women's game at Holy Cross. Refs did NOT call traveling.
  9. Lost McClendon, Beal and Gabbard. First, third and fourth top scorers from last year.
  10. Dixie played with passion and hit shots. Holy Cross played phantom defense, missed what seemed like a gazillion free throws and threw sloppy passes. Ah, youth. Ball-handlers Tucker and Crigler sat most of 2nd Q with two fouls each, and Holy Cross played confused. But second game, you know? Lots of season left. Kes will get them together. Again, congrats to Dixie, and without Davis too.
  11. Score was 62-48, I believe. The Indians jumped up early but Boone never let up and kept within striking range most of game. No. 32 (Kylie Anderson?) was Boone's leading scorer. Had 13 or 14, I think. She was tough on the blocks with short turnarounds over Holy Cross' young bigs (who were pretty quiet). Was kinda surprised Boone didn't set Beal to slashing her way to the basket more than she did. HC's Alehia Tucker played on another level, with a little of everything figuring into her 27: 3's, mid-range pull-ups, drives, foul shots. Displayed a little of that state championship poise. Holy Cross, however, is really young -- three seniors and no juniors. Along with Tucker, it started an 8th grader, a freshman and two sophomores.
