February 14, 201412 yr SPX was up 8 @ half. OMS played fantastic 2nd Half D - took a 1pt lead late (ie 25-30 seconds remaining). Each team took turns missing FT attempts on ensuing possessions. SPX got a final possession with about 11 sec left. OMS had fouls to give and used them. Came down to an in bounds play under SPX basket with about 3 seconds remaining. Ref called a shooting foul with 1.1 secs left. Mayer hit both FTs to give SPX 1pt lead. OMS ran a nice in bound play and got off about a 35 footer that missed. Both teams scored well below average - combo of good D and jitters. It was a very tight ball game.
February 14, 201412 yr I really feel the difference in this game was in the first half. Give St. Pius credit, they played well out of the gate where Ockerman did not. They held off a late charge and hit two huge free-throws to seal the victory. Good luck to St. Pius and Conner in the championship game Saturday.

Should be a very good game.

February 20, 201412 yr 2 items, Why are they holding 8th grade boys games in that band box? Terrible venue for that level. What the heck is a Kenton County #3 and #4?
February 20, 201412 yr 2 items, Why are they holding 8th grade boys games in that band box? Terrible venue for that level. What the heck is a Kenton County #3 and #4? I would agree, but NewCath host the 36th District Tourney so NewCath is out.

February 20, 201412 yr And to answer the other question I don't think there where a lot of other options when it came to hosting the tourney.
February 20, 201412 yr 2 items, Why are they holding 8th grade boys games in that band box? Terrible venue for that level. What the heck is a Kenton County #3 and #4? They are waiting for the final seeds for the #3 and #4 teams. They only had SPX at #1 and St. Agnes at #2. As far as the venue, agreed, needs to be played on a HS floor but with Mr. Joe Heil stepping down as tourney Director they didn't even know if they were going to have it this year bc no one would take over. Mr. Daryl Orth stepped up and decided to take charge and SJCS was available.

February 20, 201412 yr Expect a packed house for some of these games for sure. I guess the only good thing about it being at a smaller SJCS is that there will be a good crowd and give the kids an exciting environment to play in. St. Pius beating Conner again the other night shows that they are playing at a very high level at the moment and will be tough to beat in the Diocesan.
February 20, 201412 yr St. Pius beating Conner again the other night shows that they are playing at a very high level at the moment and will be tough to beat in the Diocesan. This. I have not seen Trinity play. My only barometer is IHM 8th boys who defeated St Joe CS and also St Mary's. That said, St Pius clearly defeated IHM every time they played. Good luck to all the teams! Enjoy your last couple games as 8th graders. Edited February 20, 201412 yr by hoops5
February 20, 201412 yr Speaking of Diocesan tourney, congratulations to the IHM 8th grade girls who won the Diocesan tourney!
February 21, 201412 yr This. I have not seen Trinity play. My only barometer is IHM 8th boys who defeated St Joe CS and also St Mary's. That said, St Pius clearly defeated IHM every time they played. Good luck to all the teams! Enjoy your last couple games as 8th graders. Trinity played St. Pius in the semi-final of the St. Henry tournament and won by about 4 or 5 I believe, then played IHM in the finals and won by 15 or so. Depending on who the #3 and #4 seeds end up being, it wouldn't be a big surprise to see a Trinity/St. Pius final which would be a great game and preview of the next 4 years in an already heated NewCath/Covcath rivalry.
