cshs81 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I made mention of this in another thread but felt it was due its own thread. Michael Romes of Beechwood surpassed the 1000 pt mark against Holy Cross recently. What's impressive about this accomplishment is that he did it in less than 2 years. He never played in a varsity game until his JR year. Before your autopilot response of "competition" comes into play, remember he put up 25 or so against South Laurel and had a big game against Holmes. Also, factor in that in many of these games against the lower level teams, he is not playing the entire game due to the margin of victory. Congrats to Michael Romes.

FairFan Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I am glad Beechwood has him, but I bet CCH would love to have another scorer like him, he would make them almost dominant in the 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, you have to be happy for the young man's success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many local players that have benefited from the tutelage of Bob Romes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great guy and a heck of a coach and Beechwood had him to help but lost that opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendevil Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Why didn't he play varsity ball until his JR. year?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelCrazy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Why didn't he play varsity ball until his JR. year?? He was at Covington Catholic for his first 2 seasons (freshman & sophomore years) and then transferred to Beechwood for his last two, where he instantly became BW's "go to guy".
