gold sunrise Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Yes, it is. Series now stands at 70-1. Double WOW.
Smallhoops Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Exciting game throughout. Ballard led 17-15 after first quarter, but a strong second half by Waggener resulted in Waggener leading 41-32 at halftime. Ballard made up ground early in the third quarter and it was close thereafter. The game was tied 70-70 with a couple minutes left before Waggener outscored Ballard 10-4 the rest of the way to win by 6. Congratulations to Coach O'Neill and the Wildcats on a huge victory.
Smallhoops Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 The schools are less than 5 miles from each other in Louisville. Ballard obviously has been superior in basketball since it opened in the 1970's. Brian O'Neill does a great job with Waggener.
SLICRIC Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Had pleasure to meet Coach O’Neill several years ago! Great guy!
jahearme Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Congrats to Coach O'Neill and the Wildcats! Anyone have a box score? I've got a couple former students playing for Waggener.
theguru Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Congrats Coach O'Neill and congrats to the Waggener Wildcats! Exciting times for sure.

What is the lowdown on him......size, year, position, strengths, possible college player, etc.? Thanks.

Smallhoops Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Smallhoops.....Kalakon is supposed to be a good player. What is the lowdown on him......size, year, position, strengths, possible college player, etc.? Thanks. He is a senior. Listed as 6'4", although he might not be quite that tall. Slender. At various times, he plays anywhere on the floor, although I think he fits best as a 2 guard. Very athletic, has a quick first step and can jump out of the gym. Has worked on his outside shooting, and through the first 4 games this year is shooting 44% from 3-point range. One of the things I like most about him is that he plays within Waggener's balanced offensive approach and is a true team player. For example, in Waggener's opening game against Central, he only took 4 shots from the field and scored 5 points. His numbers could be a lot higher if he was interested in pumping up his numbers, but he does not appear to be so interested. I understand that he has some Division I offers (Morehead among them). He seems like a good kid who will continue to get better as a basketball player.
Smallhoops Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Thanks. Great to see JJ and Kevion doing well. Great kids. They seem to be. I really enjoy watching Waggener play.
