Rooting for Coach Elsbernd ever more!

Wow, that was really harsh. But true.

Holmes has been in similar spots before, but maybe not as bleak. I hope someone has the courage to put the work in and find the diamonds in the rough. Glad we can discuss the rumors and what-ifs about Holmes versus other school situations. Its makes this blog interesting. What is the difference between Covington Holmes and Covington Catholic conversations?

Its not a transfer by choice. The school has made it clear that he will not be welcome back on the team. This is a formal decision that comes from above the coaching staff.

Probably many reasons, but parents were certainly a factor. They were really really young and sadly the parents were not reasonable or supportive. A sense of entitlement possibly? He was a great fit for that program and gave them his full effort on the court and outside the lines. Unfortunate for Beechwood, but he will get another opportunity if he wants to coach again.

Cooper in total control by 2nd quarter. Cooper is just way superior in every way and more ways.

Agreed. Ryle is very much in the top 2 or 3, and ultimately when it matters, moving to the college court favors Ryle more than any other team and they have the best player in the region.

My details are that the score is wrong. Noter Dame won.

If 67 points against is their defensive strong point, then this team is in t-r-o-u-b-l-e. McCracken is solid but they scored whenever they wanted to and controlled the game more than I would have expected based on both teams talent on paper. This tournament raised more questions than answers for the Indians.

Score is backwards. Bishop Brossart won. Over quickly. Beechwood very young and BB has some good players putting the ball in the hole.

Highlands was a complete mess. You expect that early season with lots of young players. Last year they were young, but now it seems they got even younger. Dixie, well I walked away thinking they have a chance to be a lot better than expected. Their youth is exciting and they have some upper classman that have clearly stepped up. They missed a lot of shots that will be different once some players settle in. They aren't Cooper or Ryle, but could they be at the second tier, maybe?

Couldn't agree more!

To correct Notre Dame President Jack VanHandorf, Notre Dame won a state title in 2021, not 2022. That seems like a big enough deal that the President would know the actual year since it wasn't that long ago. The Notre Dame President seems incompetent and the parents seem to think he is lying about the resigning to pursue other opportunities. I smell something fishy!

Was definitely at its apex after the Lloyd player goaltended it upwards. Was very clear and reactions told so. In person was more obvious than that video. Would that have made a difference, maybe so maybe not. Refs have a tough job and most HS refs just aren't used to calling goaltends.

If out of control, entitled daddy ball was a visual, this was it. Even mom running down to the bench to yell at the refs. Assistants standing and yelling, players chesting up to refs with no respect. This was crazy. No control. Bracken should be embarrassed.
