Pete Mitchell Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Holmes 1977. Dicky Beal, Rick Walton, Elliott Simpson, Todd Whatley, Mark Elmer, Joe Mardis, Kerry Humphrey, and more. Gets my vote for best frosh team in NKY history (Dicky played two years of Freshman basketball, made the decision not to play up JV or Varsity as a Frosh).

Holmes too. Actually, I'm shocked that Holmes only shows one win thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Finals are tonight. Highlands is vying for their first win in 19 years, and Cov Cath is shooting for a four-pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runcible Owl Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I think one should consider Carlisle's '65 title as part of Holmes' total. There was a span of years when Holmes was grades 10-12 only and one of the 5-10 largest schools in the state. 1965 would have been the first (?) year students from the recently closed William Grant HS would attend Holmes. I'm more surprised Grant isn't on the list. Jim Brock coached some powerhouse teams there, even though it wasn't a big school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Mitchell Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 That’s a great post. Always cool to look backward 3 years to see how kids have developed .... well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy26 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 1988-89 Covington Catholic won with Studer, Etler and Johnson. Studer banked in a three at the buzzer from the wing against Holmes. Probably the only intentionally banked 3 to win a championship in the history of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runcible Owl Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 On 2/13/2018 at 6:14 PM, Colonels_Wear_Blue said: As I understand it, the locations jumped around in early years because it was SUCH a pain to orchestrate everything around winter weather and the varsity/jv schedules, and no one would wrangle the project for more than a year or two at most. Then Cov Cath started hosting it annually, and Jack Kaelin headed up the effort. Cov Cath has operated on the same general cast of characters since the mid-70s. A reporter from The Kentucky Post once shared that most of the first decade's tournaments were held at the old Wade YMCA down on Madison Ave. in Covington.

Runcible Owl Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 As the master list becomes more complete, I've been interested in which eventual varsity 9th Region champs also won as freshmen three years prior. New Cath - '66, '84. Holy Cross - '72. Holmes - '80. Simon Kenton - '81. Highlands - '98, '99. Cov Cath - '69, '71, '92, '14, '15, '18, '20.
