I think CCH showed the blueprint on how to beat NCC last year... face guard and deny Pangallo the ball.... make someone else run the point for them. Losing the older Moeves will really hurt them in this regard this year if teams follow said blueprint.

 

Good point but missing 13 FT's and turning the ball over didn't help either. I expect a different game this season when they meet. Should be a battle. McDonald will be very tough to stop.

Tired legs on big men often lead to missed FTs.

No matter what they draw, barring upsets, they have to beat both Covcath and Holmes. Over the years, Ncc hasn't shown an ability to win big games on the big stage. Why should anyone think next year will be any different?

 

As much as it hurts, this has been proven as true. However, it only takes one good run and then you have a good shot at state.

I will say this is a big year for NCC. Gets thinner after Pangallo and Ben leave.

 

Not too thin. You don't just replace Pangallo and McDonald. Those two are up there in NewCath's storied history. However, the future is still bright.

I think Holmes and CovCath had a HUGE advantage playing their districts at NKU. That gave them 2 extra games to acclimate to the court.

I don't think most folks truly appreciate how spot on this statement is.

Drew has received an offer to play golf at NKU.

I do agree with you with over the years they haven't been able to dominate them teams. I do think NCC coach will have to have a better game plan then using just 6 players and going for the win and having faith in the boys on the bench. I personally think that is what hurt them the most last year and if he's coaching tactics on that end would improve I do believe NCC will pull off upsets this year.

 

I understand at Varsity level you want the best in but could someone explain to me why only go 6 players if you have a kid with a resume of basketball experience and have played against these same boys but won't put him in at all... I don't see the logic in that.. To me a coach should build confidence in the bench and use it you never know who is going to be that spark plug to turn the tempo of the game around smh I really don't understand that...

The future is real bright... lets don't forget The Holy Trinity boys are up and raising don't be surprise to see Brennan Hall, Stephen Pangallo getting a lot of JV time this year ... It's only going to get better wait and see... keep and eye out for these two they have chemistry and both are two smart players with a lot of talent. NCC will be in the rankings for another 4 years mark my words... and I didn't even mention Jalen Mc.Daniels and Jared Iles... these 4 together could start JV for NCC and hold it down. NCC is far from thinner only getting better.... true story

Tired legs on all starting 5 players had a lot to do with the loss of the game they should of could of won .. if and this is my observation coach would of went to the bench more he had the talent Jacob Smith and others could of done well with some minutes to give them a break... my point about not understanding why wouldn't a coach take a chance on the bench... ????

Players get their 2014 All "A" rings.......can't wait for RCC9 to see this. :lol2:

Hooray! The 9th region means more and you don't even get a ring.

Depends on what high school you attended.

Could be special to them. I respect that. I never attended a small school, so i look at the All A as small time.

Wrong again. The Bishop is blessing and then presenting CovCath their rings.
