Since 1983/84 has any NKY program done this?

[Lawnboy13]

Was thinking about this last night on the way back from the All A Tourney in Frankfort.

 

Other than the 1983-84 Newport Catholic basketball program, as any other NKY team since then won all 3 Regional Titles in the same year? For the sake of this topic the JV & Frosh tourneys will be called Regional.

 

The 3 teams that year combine for a record of 78-5.

 

The Varsity team went 33-2, and only lost to #1 ranked Cincinnati Elder 65-56 in the regular season and then as the #1 ranked team in the state lost to (14-16) Scott Co. 59-52 in the opening round of the Sweet Sixteen at Rupp. The Breds picked the wrong game to have an awful shooting performance, 23-59 from the floor and 6-15 from the charity stripe. Scott Co. benefited from the FT line going 23-37. The Breds were Champs of the N.I.T, L.I.T, Famous Recipe Classic, 35th Dist. & 9th Region.

 

The JV team that season went 20-3 and was winner of the JV Regional.

The Frosh went undefeated with a record of 25-0 and won the Fr. Regional.

 

Varsity starters:

Jimmy Pangallo, Marty Sandfoss, Jay Thiem, Bob Schenk, & Steve Butcher

Bench: Bobby Gesenhues, Dan Albrink, Steve Klump

 

JV starters:

Brian Kehoe, Mike Daly, Richard Jones, Dan Ahlbrand, & Eric Gerding.

 

Fresh Starters:

Terry Sandfoss, Gary Gabbard, Brian Robinson, Andy Albrink, & Frank Jacobs.

That right there is seriously impressive. I remember the huge disappointment even from this HHS guy hearing the results of that Sweet 16 game. Knew all those Ft Thomas kids. Played baseball with some of them and grew up next to others. That was a great team(program)back then. Crazy how they have kept being successful through today with their size.

The most amazing thing about the 83-84 NC varsity team was beating Highlands 6 times, 2 regular season games and 4 tournament finals. Great chemistry and balance. Albrinck lead the team in scoring with 12+ and 3 other starters averaged over 10 points per game. Gary Schulte was a great motivator.

I remember the regular season game at NewCath was packed beyond capacity and it felt like you were in a snuna, players were slipping all over the place. I think this is the game Marty Sandfoss it a floater in the lane for the victory. That Highlands team that year was "loaded" as well.

On the JV team is that the Mike Daly that is Ft. Thom Chief of Police?

You're right, because HHS was very good in the 80's and to beat them that many times was very impressive. NC, not NCC was very good! I can still hear "Shooooorrrrrrrtttttyyy" as we harrassed Jimmy Pangallo...all the while he would continue to drop bombs on us!!! Butcher was a force inside!

 

Also, look at all those Ft Thomas boys on those rosters.

Jay Thiem - I think he lived right on the border, so I'm not posititive

Bobby Gesenhues

Brian Kehoe

Mike Daly

Richard Jones - did Roger not play?

Eric Gerding.

Brian Robinson - i think he was Ft. Thomas

Southgate for Thiem and the Fort for Robinson & Bobby Wolterman.

 

 

But to my question.............Any teams since win all 3 in the same year?

[RCC9]

I forgot about that! Wow, should they have changed their name back then to Newport/Ft Thomas Catholic??? I'm sure my Breds friends will love that one!!

 

What about Bob Wolterman? Did he play bball then?

Maybe the Highlands team that year could have been called the Kenton County Bluebirds with Draud, Lankeit and Maile all in the starting lineup to go along with Bob Burkart and Mike "Big Bird" Moore.

Just kidding about the Kenton County Bluebirds. A lot of talented Ft.Thomas kids on that team as well.
