Breds with 17 assist, and many were SWEET. McDonald with 5.

 

Green Co. gave the best effort they could, and are a very nice team.

 

So. guard Dominique Compton, in the two games I saw him play, was "lights out" at both ends of the floor. :ylsuper:

EDIT....double post

NCC should have no problem winning the All A State this year.

Basketball, Boys:

All “A” Quarterfinals at Franklin Convention Center:

Newport Central Catholic 69, Green County 33:

The Thoroughbreds (19-3) ran away from the Dragons (11-9) to move on in the All “A” state tournament Friday.

NewCath led 39-13 at halftime and 60-22 entering the fourth quarter. The Thoroughbreds shot a blistering 52 percent (29-of-56) from the field and held the Dragons to 33 percent (11-of-33).

Head Coach Ron Dawn said he’d go to the bench a lot in this tournament and he did in this game. Fourteen Thoroughbreds saw action in the game and 10 scored. Jake Schulte led the way with 18 points with Grant Moeves and Drew McDonald scoring nine each. Schulte also blocked four shots.

For the second straight game in the tournament, NewCath did not allow a player from the opposing team to score in double-digits. Levi Murphy and Jayden Willis led the Dragons with nine points each.

The Thoroughbreds battle the Lexington Christian Academy Eagles at 6 p.m. today in the tournament semifinals. Cordia faces Betsy Layne in the other semifinal contest afterwards.

 

Fort Thomas Sports: NewCath teams advance in All "A" State; Highlands boys down Bellevue

NCC should have no problem winning the All A State this year.

LCA is battle tested and Cordia is really good, even more now with the ineligibly ruled players back. Semifinals and finals should be interesting.
