Covington Holy Cross Derrick Barnes committed

[Voice of Reason]

He is from Covington. Grew up in Covington. His family went to Holmes. He went to Holmes his Freshman year and had to sit out his Sophomore year because he transferred.

 

Thanks. Maybe Abernathy is from Cincinnati? Didn't Abernathy and Barnes play peewee football together and Cincinnati?

Nope. Abernathy grew up in Covington. Played his whole youth football career in the Bengal Tiger organization.

247 sports also has Barnes' hometown as Louisville. I wonder why there is so much confusion.

Abernathy is from Cincy lived in both NKY & Cincy but played his peewee ball in Cincy until the 7th grade where he played @ HC then he played for the BT in the 8th grade. They played against each other in peewee ball but didn't know each other. They became friends thru AAU bball & the rest is Holy Cross history...

Thanks for the input. Any word on whether or not Abernathy is looking to sign anywhere for college?

Glad to hear it. Xavier plays some tough football...he deserves to have some options on the college level.

Thank You, he has always tried to be the best player & teammate he can be.

[Voice of Reason]

Abernathy and Williams are both talented enough to play at the next level. I hope they both find an opportunity they like.

[lamontab]

They have been friends since they were 7 and like family since middle school. I can't wait to see what the future brings for these 2.

Yeah I know there's a Louisville Holy Cross I guess I just expect these recruiting services to do their homework.
