NCC 58 Covington Holmes 55

Congrats to NCC, starting to make a move at the right time of year! :thumb:

where was this game at? and who plays in the paint for the Bulldogs now?

Newcath, #44 and #41, don't know there names,with Hill and Henderson slashing every chance they got. Definately not as effective as Mr Rice.

[BigColonel]

NewCath's best ball is still ahead of them. Beuter, Gesenhues, and Kiernan are just now really getting their basketball legs underthem, so NewCath's record entering district and regional play will be deceiving. They will be a team to be to watchout for come the regionals.

I am flat out shocked at this score.

 

Is this an aberration for Holmes (without Rice) or is this a sign of things to come? Have they really come back to the pack THIS much?

Losing an all region performer is going to have some effect, not to mention team chemistry which always appeared fragile is bound to suffer.

 

Hope they can put all of the off the court issues behind them in time for district play.

 

Ninth Region is going to be one big dogfight :fight: , remains to be seen if these Dogs can be part of it.

Some people said that their team chemistry would be better, but, at this point, they still have some problems to fix.

I think it is starting to smell like Tournament time. I cant believe Holmes dropped this game. NCC is decent but not very deep and with Bellevue beating the tar out of them for 3 quarters in the All A classic.... what does this say? Is it really parity? Holmes better regroup.

[BigStud]

Bottom line NCC has a big man who can score. Not many teams have a big man in our region to the caliber of Kiernan. Without Rice they have no answer for him.

[NamecipS]

I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this game. Do people see this more as a "fluke"? Or has Holmes dropped back to the pack? Or is NCC starting to get it together and become a threat for the region title?

[DoggyDawg]

The bottom line is Holmes is going to have some issue's when they face teams that have size in the paint. Without Rice they are a very small team and last night NCC forced Holmes to beat them from the outside. That stratgedy paid off and NCC got the win. To answer your question, I feel that the 9th Region tourney will be a battle to the end. The dawgs have two more games before the districts start to tweak some things.
