Love me some Cooper vs. Cov Cath at BB&T! Great that the coaches would agree on that venue. A preview of the Region 9 championship game - teams and location.

 

I know where I will be the evening of Friday January 12th...

SK vs Scott is always been a good rivalry can't wait to watch them play this year.

Always a packed house in Taylor Mill or Independence. Going to be great on the bigger stage.

Big time games will have to mke my way to the Bank of KY for these !

Should be a great day of HS basketball.

Really sad that SK had to pull out. Can't believe they didn't want to play 3 games in a row...or 2 loses to Rival Scott in one year...I heard the Kids were really Mad about it also.

This is a great event due to what it does for the community. Mike Listerman and Covington Catholic are to be commended for starting this.
