2017 St. Henry Crusader Classic Basketball Brackets

Bump...

Any reason why IHM isn't participating in the 6th and 8th grade bracket?

Always a fun and well run tourney. Good luck to all of the future stars.

Any updates on winners from this yet

St. Henry beat St. Joe’s in both the 7th and 8th grade games.

Blessed Sacrament beat Beechwood and St. Pius beat Newport in the first round of the 8th grade competitive division

The Pieper kid is nice for Blessed Sacrament.

The left side of the 7th Grade Bracket has the 3 best teams in the tourney, and mix in St. Paul and St. Cecilia, and you have 3 of the top 5 Catholic School teams in NKY. If that is Pius' "A" team, their game with SJ Cold Spring will be a beauty. St. Henry has great size for 7th grade.

How can the Beechwood 7th grade team be expected to beat Sts Peter and Paul?

They'd beat St. Peter.

They'd beat St. Paul.

But beating both together? Tall order - even for this scrappy (and not entirely agnostic) Beechwood crew.

Little known fact that St. Peter is also the patron saint of the corner 3. St. Paul was known as a great on-the-rock defender.

True...

Correct. St. Henry used that size advantage nicely over Blessed Sacrament.

The only NKY Catholic school that can match St. Henry's size is St. Paul, and coincidentally (sarcasm), they met in the Catholic Schools finals last year. St. Henry will really miss their wing player who is now on Gray's 7th grade team, he is a really nice player.

Braylon is a really good kid too. The Grayson/Fedders duo inside is still a tough matchup for most-they play really hard every play.
