Final from Russell Bridges Memorial Gymnasium.

 

Highlands Coach Kevin Listerman gets his first home victory for the Birds. Congrats to the Bluebirds.

 

Looks like they scored 34 points above their season offensive avg.

Nice job Birds. Keep it going against Cooper.

Looks like it was raining threes at the Fort tonight.

While resting peacefully last night eating my Chick-Fil-A I asked what was different in the 2 games that HHS has won and the other 7. Here are two things that I came up with: 1). They scored over 50 points in the game 2) and most importantly, Stinkyboy was not in attendance at either game.

 

I am taking up a collection from the masses to have him banned for the remainder of the season. J/K of course

 

Nice effort by all last night, but now time to turn the page to a rough and tumble Cooper squad.

Sorry HHS fans - I will be in attendance on Saturday against Cooper (unless that collection gets up to a tempting dollar amount).

 

 

I am considering coming in a disguise or even sitting on the Cooper side in order to break the jinx.

Maybe working in the concession stand would be a good thing for you, but you would not be able to watch the game from there like you can at other venues.

Didn't 1 of the striped shirts solve that problem for HHS a year or 2 ago? Maybe he can't be in the gym for the opening tip for the jinx to work / be avoided.

That was at Bracken's Christmas tournament. I'd name the official, but I don't wanna break any rules. Birds come to Pendleton in a few weeks. Could have that same ref!!

Wow. I was not going there, but you may be on to something about having him show up after the first quarter is over.

How would naming the official break a rule? It's like naming a coach.

Basketball, Boys:

Highlands 72, Bracken County 48:

The Bluebirds (2-7) recorded their first home win of the season and their first win against a Kentucky team Thursday.

The Bluebirds shot 52 percent (30-of-57) from the field, including 7-of-15 from three-point range for 47 percent. They also made 5-of-6 free throws for 83 percent.

The Polar Bears made 18-of-54 shots for 33 percent and 5-of-19 three-point tries for 26 percent. They also made just 7-of-17 free-throw tries for 41 percent.

Bracken County saw two players reach double-digits. They were Jacob Hamilton with 18 and Aaron Crawford with 14.

Let's not forget we did away with one pest "stinky" but we had another "Jerry". Stinky with a loss or Jerry with a trap! Let's hope the boys continue to play well!
