Absolutely unbelievable that a proud program has fallen so far. It's a shame.

You are really dating yourself with the proud program talk. HHS hasn't competed for a regional championship since the turn of the century. The seniors that are giving their all had not even entered kindergarten the last time the Birds were relevant on a regional level.

 

Based on the talent level, size, and competitive nature of each of these kids - the realistic goals that the team set for themselves are still within reach. A must win game over Bellevue this week and the chance to upset Newport in the district are on the horizon -- those two things happen and the Birds are lacing them up at BOK.

I was told the JV game started with HHS shooting FTs for a T on NCC for pre-game dunking. Extremely rare to see that.

This is the norm in NKY, it's sad that the papers have down sized to the point that they barely cover HS sports.

 

Excellent point. :thumb:

 

I miss the days of Terry Boemker and the rest of the Kentucky Post staff & Don Weber running camera, being the on-air talent and editing on the fly to get the footage on Channel 6 at 11:00 p.m.

Don Weber. One. Man. Crew.

I'm Don Weber saying so long for now.

Certainly a different culture when the goal is to get to the dist final. I've posted a lot in the years past on the downfall of the program. Guess it is what it is...
