Cov. Holy Cross -

Jacob Meyer 29 pts

Nate Niehaus 16 pts

Holy Cross travels to Ft. Thomas on Monday to take on the Highlands Bluebirds.

HC my sleeper pick this year. Coach Grammer is setting this program in right direction IMO.

They are definitely going in right direction. HC will only get better.

Impressed with Meyer. He is a great player especially for a freshmen. Kaelin Drakeford averaging 38 & 11 so far for Mercer.

Jake Meyer will explode on the Ninth Region scene this year. Still in shock he took his talents to Holy Cross, but good for the Indians. He and Grammer are game/program changers, much like Scotty Draud/Eric Goetz have been for Beechwood.
