He actually sat with the crazies during most of the game, and was enjoying himself. He would snap his fingers, wave his hand, and the concession staff would bring about 20 more pizzas.

 

Great shooting touch in a big gym by Nick, CVH and Hepp. Great adjustments at halftime by the CCH staff.

 

Jeff first came into contact with the Crazies at a mid-week game late in the season. He let one of the Crazies were his USA leather jacket.

Great comeback by CCH. The bigs for Clay County were dominating the offensive boards for nearly the entire game which gave them the 7 point lead at halftime. The biggest head scratcher in my opinion is why Clay Co. went away from the 1-3-1 that worked very well for them in the 1st half. It was a great benefit for CCH because they got hot and swung the momentum their way big time.

 

I am pulling for CCH and the 9th Region but I will say they are going to be in for an uphill battle with Bardstown. This team plays 94ft on both ends and is EXTREMELY fast and athletic, far more than Holmes IMO. While many were questioning why in the world Bardstown was pushing the ball being up by 8-12 points with 3 mins to go and not running some clock it didn't take me long to figure out that this is the way this team plays whether they are up or down which can be scary. They are coached by Boo Brewer who was a 3pt specialist for UofL in the Denny Crum days if I am not mistaken.

 

For CCH to win they MUST get back on defense EVERY trip and they MUST keep Schuh on the floor. Hopefully the jitters are gone and they can get on a roll.

Vintage Ruby.......Did he have his Red Air Jordan's on?

 

I have a feeling when we visit Park Hills in 2015, we will see a Ruby sign on their new Coloneltron!

I'm gonna guess that this is something that the Clay County boys weren't used to dealing with on the free throw line very often.

They were in full force last night. The wave was fun.

Caly shot 60% from the line. Wonder what season stats were?

71.3%

71.3%

 

If they shot 71.3% last night that would be two more points! MVP goes to the Crazies!

There is no way I could shoot free throws as an opponent of CovCath and the sumo chant would get me benched for the rest of the game. I. Love. The. Crazies.

They call it the "sumo chant" nowadays. :wacky: I love how as the original initiators of cheers come and go through Cov Cath, the message behind things is completely lost. That chant was originally a haka (

). Hakas are traditional to New Zealand, and they are essentially war dances performed by warriors before a battle to frighten their opposition.

 

There's a similar chant called "Cha-Cha Koo Lay" that Cov Cath has been doing since the early 90's. It was started at Cov Cath by then teacher/assistant soccer coach Mark O'Connor (now at Beechwood), who had been taught the chant in college by a Ghanian teammate while they were both members on the school's soccer team. The words were all African - Ghana's native Akan tongue to be exact - and the meaning was unknown to O'Connor. By the time my brother-in-law had gotten to Cov Cath (class of '11), it was "well known" amongst the Crazies in the student section that when they did that chant, they were reciting a fearful war cry from Africa about fighting in battle and destroying their enemies, when in all actuality, they were reciting an African children's poem about learning their different body parts.

Good stuff, CWB, and I'm glad I now know how to spell it. :lol:

Thanks for the history lesson CWB.

I'll just stick with the Suma chant,:lol2:

I mentioned quite a few times in the update thread that I thought it was a huge advantage that Clay County was going away from the Crazies in the 2nd half because of how it was effecting their FT attempts.

I was legitimately laughed at when I told someone I thought Clay County was a top 25 team in the State. I think last night showed otherwise. This is a team that wasn't really challenged throughout the regional tournament.

 

One of the best games/teams they played was the Dacula, GA group in Florida (who has one of the top Sophs in GA). Wayne County only beat them by 6 or so at Wayne County.

 

They didn't play a loaded schedule and it hurt their perception, but I think they showed that they were a quality team.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to be at state, but I did see them at regional, and I enjoyed when they would do the "He's scared! He's shakin'!..." when the otehr team was at the line, and get louder and louder as the other team got closer to shooting. Those dudes absolutely lost their minds for those 10 seconds while the kids was shooting!

Clay is going to be a problem for the next two years. And if the McDaniels kid returned next year ....wow.

 

BTW how many times have you ever heard of a kid skipping his entire senior year and graduating early for college? Impressive.
