BrosefStalin Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Curious who people think are some of the top players in 9th Region history. As an aside, how many NBA players hailed from NKY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 There are others, but my favorite, because he was a friend and fellow parishioner, was Dan Tieman (played for the Cincinnati Royals in 1962-63). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was teaching at CovCath while I was there from 89-93. One of the kindest, most unassuming men I've ever come across. He truly had the respect of every single person that walked those halls...which, as we all know, isn't easy when you're talking about teenage boys. I didn't have him for any classes and didn't play basketball..but he couldn't have been any more kind and gracious towards me in every single encounter I had with him. We were blessed to have him while we did. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesport Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Recently I would say CJ Fredrick/Nick Ruthsatz from CovCath, and Adam Kunkel/Sean McNeil from Cooper along with Beetle Bolden from Holmes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALSPORT Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 If we are talking high school players you have to consider Dicky Beal, Doug Schloemer and Jack Jennings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Ball-fan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I don’t know where exactly you would draw the line with this as there’s been so many great players over the years, and some are just a given, while others, though great, might not be exactly what this thread is looking for, so here’s some that haven’t yet been mentioned that come to mind knowing that I’m probably forgetting just as many as I’m listing. I can’t recall names right now, but I know there’s a ton of Covington Catholic players that I’m forgetting to mention just from the last 20 years alone. And while they haven’t graduated yet, I think that it’s safe to say that we can add these two to the list. Scotty Draud Sam Vinson Ronnie Dawn - NewCath Justin Doellman - Ryle Don Turney - Covington Catholic Troy Mckinley - Simon Kenton Brandon Hatton - Dixie Ross Neltner - Highlands Russ Bramlage - Dixie Corey Sorrell - Holy Cross Steve Burdon - Covington Catholic Drew McDonald - NewCath Ben Wyer - NewCath MIchael Brock - Simon Kenton Elijah Pitmann - Holmes Jake Thelan - Covington Catholic Cole VonHandorf - Covington Catholic Andy Listerman - Covington Catholic Ricardo Johnson - Holmes Jake Shulte - NewCath Brennan Hall - NewCath Roger Tieman - Covington Catholic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't forget Roger Tieman's U of L teammate, Jack Turner from Newport HS. They went to the final four in 1959 I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only played high school hoops for a couple of years, but there’s little doubt that he went on to have the most successful pro career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
