They say playing at Cov Cath is like playing at Rupp. You have to be at least 10 points better to win because the refs will make sure of that.

"They" can say whatever "they" would like to. And you can say whatever you would like to. In the last 7 seasons, Cov Cath has two state titles and an overtime loss from the Sweet 16 semis that prove they can hang just fine when they are playing without local officials on the court. Everyone knows sour grapes when they hear them.

Fact is, northern Kentucky officials call a tighter game than officials generally do in some of the other regions of the state. And that's fine. Other officials in other regions let things be more physical underneath...and that's fine too. Cov Cath went on the road and lost to North Laurel, Cincy St. X rolled into Park Hills and beat them at home, and they went to St. Henry and lost to the Cru....I didn't see one post from Cov Cath fans about being jobbed. I read about learning from the losses and taking lumps and using them to improve on shortcomings. But I heard a lack of boohoo-ing otherwise.

Sorry to thread jack, but why was the CovCath vs Bowling Green game cancelled?

Possibly because Bowling Green wouldn't agree to using 9th Region referees...

I believe because the Mid South Conference tourney was in Bowling Green and as such, the BGHS gym was being utilized, in some capacity.
