To me Sullivan is at his best as the clear underdog. I think he can get his kids to buy into the nobody believes in us game plan. I'll take Cooper in a close one where neither team really shows the other one the game plan they would use in March if they meet again.

I do remember that NCC played football that weekend and oh BTW won their game. Wouldn't you think such a small school like NCC 2A would have football players playing basketball, like big school 5A Cooper does?

 

Wow...what a cheap shot!

I really didn't want to respond to such a comment, but statements like this make me proud to be part of the public school system.

 

It's not the size of the student population, it's the quality of the selection. Kids attend NCC for several reasons including to be a part of the traditionally winning football and basketball teams. Kids attend Cooper because it's the school in their restricted district, and many just can't afford the other option.

 

The first game was a very good measure for Cooper against NCC and in a second game I would take Cooper as the probable winner being that Sheldon did not play anywhere near the way he's playing now and the other two starters are into season now.

 

Now back to the topic........As for the Holmes game, it will be very exciting because Sullivan would have it no other way. I believe the team that has the least turnovers will get the win.

Where's TOG? Comparing Mote Hills with Tom Ellis?

NCC doesnt which is why its a bad example.

LOL...really? Come on TOG you can do better than that. Yep, NCC won there State Championship game and so did that other team from Ft. Thomas whom CC knows pretty well so we don't really want to go there do you?

 

I wouldn't count a 2pt loss in the 2nd game of the year, without 2 of it's starters (and 2 other fb players who contribute) regardless of location, to a non-district team, really that important. And FYI, "big school 5A Cooper" as you put it is technically a 4A school that is playing up in 5A. Anyway, should be a good basketball game tonite hopefully so I hope it's not a blowout that most everyone is predicting. Cooper takes care of the ball and shoots decent should make for a good one.
