I also have no dog in this fight, but if you look at your title to the start of the thread and some of the statements made in your posts, it leads to the perception of avoidance. As for the government cover up/double talk, seems to me more reality of scheduling rather than your assumption, but again one persons opinion.

 

If you read the bolded section above, did you not answer your own question? So if you already have the answer to the question you asked to start the thread, then why the question?

 

This started the thread:

How come NCC and ND don't play each other?

 

 

 

Looks like these 2 haven't played each other in the regular season in years. Did something happen? Is there a grudge? NCC is a small school, but they both are usually 2 of the top volleyball programs in NKY each year. One would think they could find it in their schedule to play each other and drop some of the weaker teams on the schedule that they both beat easily.

 

You are asking why they are not playing, but in your own admission you said why, I guess I am confused?? They both play stronger schedules than most and they both have to play district opponents which may be of lesser talent, but yet those district games have to be played, plus the year to year contracts that are to be honored, so maybe there just not room to add this game. So back to my point of finding room to play this game, not an issue of big or little school.

 

I would think if both are willing to travel the state to play, that neither are avoiding each other as a "big/little" school issue or whatever you are trying to suggest, it is a matter of scheduling conflicts or availability which would put a hole into your "government cover up". The statement of scheduling was actually a compliment towards both schools and their strength of schedule and not one of avoidance, which by perception of previous posts is why I assumed what you are trying to suggest.

 

This may be a good question to ask one of the two coaches.... may take out all perception issues, just a thought??

 

Ugh. I no longer care. Play. Don't play. Don't care. U are way more into this than I am.

Well played.

 

The difference is there are divisions in football so they can't be the only team to win.

I will guess that there is no outstanding reason but rather several reasons why it does not happen:

 

1. Different districts and different NKAC conference mean several games have to be played against those schools.

2. They are both usually in one or two of the same tourneys each year (LVIT, Mercy Fall Classic eg) where they could meet.

3. In the past, when in different regions, could and have met in state tourney.

4. If State All-A stays away from the same dates as the LVIT then NCC has region and state games there.

5. ND usually plays in one travel tourney at least every other year which requires several games.

More into this no, just confused by your posts. Again, NO child involved with this in anyway, just trying to understand the post.

 

Thank you to "frankdracman23" of doing a more in-depth way of explaining of what I was trying to express as a possible reason of why neither school is able to work out scheduling the other school.

 

Again, Good Luck to both in the upcoming Regional..... who knows may see them play their depending on the draw and the progression of each team.

ND and NCC both play Campbell County and Scott every year, both are out of Region matches. Drop one of those and play each other. And what the heck is the NKAC?? Has anyone ever seen conference standings or a conference schedule for this ghost conference?

NDA is in the big school conference and required to play every NKY team you see on their schedule. They are also required to play all the District games you see on their schedule as well (Holmes, HC, Beechwood) unless the two teams mutually agree not to play (as Cov Latin and NDA do not play because of this).

 

The only NKY team on NDA's schedule that they are not required to play (due to conference or district) is St. Henry.

And ND vs St. Henry is the "Pink" game held at TMC. And NCC's Pink game is with Brossart.

I can tell you why. Years ago Notre Dame dropped NCC from their schedule because they said they needed to play more outside big schools to prepare for the state tournament. This was probably 25 years ago at least and none of the coaches involved are still around, but I can say for certain this is what happened because I had daughters playing at the time and was very close to the situation.

NDA also dropped out of the Catholic School Tournament they used to have for NKY parocial schools for the same reason.

Thanks for clearing this up.

So, like I said, and was beaten over the head with, it's about big school/small school/enrollment.

They may get to play in the regional finals.

Is that a prediction?

The absolute safest prediction is NDA winning the Region.

My best guess is that it'll be NewCath losing that match.

 

Coolest thing about high school sports is that ANYTHING can happen on any given day!

So you have NCC beating both Beechwood, who swept them in regular season, and Ryle, who swept them in regular season. That's a bold best guess.

Bold... Not sure that fits...

I think ignorant is the better word... Probably biased towards my ole school and only seeing all of them while playing my Bluebirds.

NewCath looked pretty tough when I saw them...
