Will echo the statements that several have already made. Goetz stood out for the Crusaders. Really nice handle and finishes at the rim (especially against an undersized team like HHS). Birds did start the game with Harris (6'4") on him but early fouls caused the Birds to switch to Cain. He did a nice job. Kunstik is a nice player. He was a liability on the defensive end due to match-up problems. When the Birds went small he was on Ball who lives on the perimeter. Kunstik had trouble closing out and Kenny hit several threes. Faust made adjustments and took that away late in the game. Liked the tempo and confidence of HHS. First game' date=' limited practices - encouraged. Not at the level of the top 5 of N Ky, but will compete with the rest of the teams. Hope our friends in stripes take the opportunity to watch the replay available on livesportscaster and critique themselves. A few come to mind. Three obvious blown calls on balls going out of bounds. 2 given to the Birds and one to St Henry that the official making the call had to be the only person in the gym who saw it that way. The shot by Harris that was blocked out of bounds 5 feet right of the backboard was given to St Henry. I could understand if the official thought Parker lost control on the way up, but he told Parker that he shot it in that direction. No help from either of the two officials. The 4th foul on Weyer is the one in the broadcast that Buttels refers to as horrible. I can only assume the official knew he blew the call because Justin's reaction deserved a T and none was given. Next up for HHS is Dixie on Tuesday 12/16[/quote']

 

Can you direct me to where in the game these calls occured?

2nd half Harris drives to hole on right side and ball Goes out of bounds. No call I can see but the ball went out toward the right and I know Parker didnt shoot it that way or lose handle. Foul could have been called but if no call then it has to be a block out of bounds off St. Henry. That May have been one of the empty trips for Highlands when up 48-47.

Just watched it. Gonna chalk that one as a "miss."

Watching the broadcast. First time ever seeing Weyer play. Nice guard.

Are you sure its a Tuesday? I'm pretty sure Dixie does not have any Tuesday games.

Was one of the disputed out of bounds calls when Kunstek had the ball in front of his bench and it went out? Hard to tell. Video was very choppy but I saw Dave react.

I thought Parker H's two and'1 opportunities in the 4th qtr were generous to H.

4th qtr. Highlands Ball has the ball in the backcourt. Ball goes out. I thought St Henry hit it but I could in no way tell if Ball hit it like Buttels thought he did.

I should add this. Highlands being really good in basketball again will be great for the 9th region.

That is a Bummer for Jared. Hope its nothing too serious.

Torn labrum that will require surgery and then rehab. As I said last night, not sure if he and Kendall played that the result would have been any different, but the style and pace of the game would have certainly been to his liking and skill set.

Listed on the schedules I have posted at the house as a triple header at Dixie on Tuesday December the 16th.

You are correct! Just checked myself.

One under the basket in front of St H bench. Harris goes up for rebound and can't get control. Looks like he is trying to get 2 hands on the ball, and throws it right out of bounds.

 

Another in front of the HHS bench. Weyer very plainly kicks the ball into Birds bench. Both of these instances the ball was given to Highlands.

JV game St Henry shot the ball well. Finfrock played well underneath just coming out of football. LAFrange had 9 to pace the birds but had an ankle injury ended in a boot for the varsity game. Guards played well. Size challenged but they play hard. 3 frosh play with unit so first time together, I thought they played well.

 

I like the intensity with the varsity. Nice to see a decent student section and the fun back in playing HHS basketball. Very encouraging!!!
