Couldn't happen.

 

Except for some phenomenal drive...and incredible organizational, promotional, and sales skills by people like Dayton's Stan Steidel, the All A wouldn't have happened in the first place. Not a fan of the tourney, but recognize the accomplishment...the event that it has become.

 

Congrats to the Breds on winning the tournament again. But given the margins in these games, I believe NewCath would be better served having played games against Holmes, CovCath, etc. to get ready for the real 9th region event. The All A did not exist when I was a student at Henry Clay in the mid 1970s and I still do not understand the rationale. Teams like NewCath can beat any teams regardless of classification, and the All A does them no good in the end. Yes it is a title, but playing better competition makes a team better by the end of the year. Can't wait to see NewCath, CovCath, Holmes in the 9th region tournament at the BOKC in a few weeks! The crowd for the finals last year was great and hopefully we will have the same turnout this year.

Congrats to NCC 3 in a row at any level is tough to do. Now they need to really focus with one goal out of the way the next one fast approaching.

During a school pep rally, the Most Reverend Roger J. Foys, D.D., stopped by to congratulate the boys basketball team on winning the All "A" State Tournament. He also gave the school the day off on Monday (as usual) for winning the Championship!
