ennam_iv Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Beetle misses a three at the end, down one... Conner does not box out... Holmes put back at buzzer to win by 1!
nostupidexcuses Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The legendary Coach Warfield always said the "the last second rebound will always win you games"!!!
ennam_iv Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Wow. Exactly. Either Holmes is on the downswing, or Conner is on the upswing.
thisguy Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Lamblez with another big night for Conner. Playing REALLY well for Conner. As someone said earlier, Bolden's shot with 3 seconds left wasn't close and hit the side of the backboard. Conner got caught watching and gave up the winning stick back with .05 to go. Conner should have won the game. Outplayed Holmes but offensive rebounds for the Bulldogs was the difference all evening.
AME1981 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Dawgs need to pick it up...play like this season is over real early during tournament time. SLOPPY! Something is going on...like to be a fly in that locker room & practice.
Walter Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Who hit the basket? Glover had the game winning tip in. Bolden 16 pts, Chames 12 pts, McClendon 11 pts
Qryche11 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Holmes is finishing the year like a Team that may go 1 and done in the Tourney. Credit goes to Conner for the great game. The Glover Kid will always remember this buzzer beater.

JokersWild24 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 So, let's settle the debate once and for all: Is Conner a legitimate contender in the 9th?
MentschTrachtGottLacht Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 So, let's settle the debate once and for all: Is Conner a legitimate contender in the 9th? What is the debate? The answer is a resounding "no". There are two legitimate contenders in the 9th, and two more that could win the region with a break or two. Really, in my opinion, there is one CONTENDER and one contender, if that makes any sense. NewCath's to lose, in my opinion, in spite of what we saw in one half of basketball in January.

NewCath's to lose, in my opinion, in spite of what we saw in one half of basketball in January. So, for those of us unfamiliar with the 9th, how do the districts break down? Where will each district tourney be held? I know that Covington Catholic and Holmes are in the same district (at least they were a short while ago) and that Newport Central Catholic is in one with teams that will likely be non-factors like Highlands and Newport. Where do the other schools fall in? Dixie Heights? Conner?

There is already a 9th Region Tournament thread active, probably better to keep all of that there than to derail this Holmes / Conner thread.
JokersWild24 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 There is already a 9th Region Tournament thread active, probably better to keep all of that there than to derail this Holmes / Conner thread. Most definitely. I'll look it up.
