Moeller (OH) 60 Covington Catholic 51

Final

[Qryche11]

Aj Mayer- 10pts 17 Reb 7 TO's

 

Outside of the TO's that is a very nice effort from AJ.

[Don't_Hate_the_Playa]

Sounds like CC was uncharacteristically loose with the ball.

 

Moeller is very good, but Ruthsatz must have been pulling his hair out. In a 60-51 game lost possessions and points of TOs are even more critical.

[Bluesport]

Many unforced turnovers for CCH tonight.

 

Hopefully Aiden will be back on the court with his teammates soon.

[Clyde]

19 turnovers.

 

13 in the first half.

 

3 to start the game and 3 to end the 1st qtr. CCH never recovered.

Aj Mayer- 10pts 17 Reb 7 TO's

 

Outside of the TO's that is a very nice effort from AJ.

 

To be fair 2 TOs were on phantom travel calls.

 

Moeller had 18 rebounds as a team. AJ had 17.

[Clyde]

I should add that in the JV game Moeller had no answer for Michael Mayer when he caught the ball on the wing and put it on the floor. Just too strong. Finished well.

[Clyde]

One more before I head off to bed.

 

CJ and CVH COMBINED for 7 attempts in the first half.

 

That's what 13 TOs against a team that plays strong D does to an offense.

Would have liked to see the outcome with Cov Cath at full strength. Any idea how long he is out for?

Colonels were way too loose with the ball. And it doesn't matter if Aiden was in the lineup or not. #13 was not a liability. The TOs were coming from elsewhere

 

CC was trying too hard to pound the ball to 44. A nice player, but 1 and 3 are the straws that stir the drink. Lift the ball young fellows!

 

If CC gets the effort from the rest that they got from AJ, they'll be ok. He found EVERY rebound. Hats off #21!

 

Bottom line.....Moe was too quick in the passing lanes, and forced way too many errors. On this night, they were the better team.

How is it that you have a 7 footer who plays 24 minutes and gets 5 rebounds. As Sir Charles has been known to tell you "if you're 7 ft tall you should get double digit rebounds every night on accident".

Heard there was 10 College coaches at the game.

From the Cincy Enquirer:

 

Moeller downs CovCath, 60-51

 

There are bragging rights, and then there’s what was at stake on Tuesday night at Moeller.

 

No. 1 vs. No. 1.

 

Undefeated Covington Catholic, the top-ranked team in the Enquirer’s Kentucky coaches’ poll, rolled into Montgomery to meet a Crusaders team that tops the Ohio Division I coaches’ poll.

 

While the Colonels went into the game averaging 88 points, it was the Crusaders who took the early lead and maintained it for a workmanlike 60-51 win.

 

“I would be pleased with that description,” Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. “You’ve got to grind it out. We were able to get up early and that helped us control the tempo. We were to maintain the lead and that allowed us to spread it out at the end, but (the Colonels) are a special team. They’re very, very good.”

 

Senior forward Riley Voss, who went into the game averaging 2.5 points per game, scored a team-high 14 for Moeller (3-0). Voss downplayed the battle of top-ranked teams.

 

“We knew about it, but that’s not really important,” Voss said. “We just wanted to come out and play our best and play for our brothers.”

 

Junior forward Carlos Garcia added 11 and senior guard Keegan McDowell finished with 10 for the Crusaders, who logged their third win in three seasons over the Colonels, whose last win in the series was in the 2012-2013 season.

 

Senior guard Cole VonHandorf led Covington Catholic (5-1) with 13 points. Junior forward C.J. Fredrick scored 12 and junior forward A.J. Mayer finished with a double-double – 10 points and 17 rebounds as the Colonels outrebounded the Crusaders, 31-18. That was offset by Covington Catholic’s 19 turnovers, which helped Moeller to a 21-8 advantage in points off of turnovers. The Colonels finished with a season low in points.
