This is a great post!!  Not only because I honestly believe that HHS should play CCH this year and every year (I know the kids want to play), but also because it means that theguru is okay with someone blathering on about the Listerman girl being from Ohio.  That should also mean that the following is okay to post here as there's no suggestion of wrongdoing, just a simple question similar to the Oracle's statements about Listerman.

The following is the CCH basketball roster from last year sorted by total points.  How far down this list do you have to go to find someone that went to a Catholic Middle School anywhere in Kentucky? Maybe Murphy (#6 on the list at 3.3 ppg), but not sure.  Regarding just kids from Ohio, I think Rylee is a KY kid, again maybe Murphy.  So maybe 2 of the top 7 live in KY.  This table was pasted directly from the KHSAA site, sorry if it's a little hard to read.

I am okay with having fun on BGP as long as it is within our Terms of Service. 

This is thread is great... ?

I find it interesting that up in NKY big deal if Ohio kids play in KY. Plenty of Indiana kids play in Louisville. Just saw New Albany basketball player transferred to Ballard. St. X has many kids from Indiana.

Then can you explain why St. X, Trinity and LexCath will not play CovCath?

St. X played them last year and playing Highlands this year. Can't speak for Trinity and Lexington Catholic.

Poor CovCath.  Always the victims.

A lot of people from a lot of different schools have said a lot of different things in this thread, but nobody from Cov Cath has ever said anything about being a victim.

I'm sure in the long run the kids will play who is on their schedule and have fun.  Ultimately, that is what this is all about, right?

If the kids from Highlands want to play the kids from CovCath (and vice versa), then they need to find a way to make their voice heard so the grownups making these decisions (in their own interest and not the kids') at least have all the information at hand when they choose to do what they do.

They will probably play in the Regional Tournament.

I would think Cov Cath would not be upset at all at not playing Highlands. Neither school has a large facility where crowds would be a financial gain. I think Cov Cath is moving to be a more nationally recognized program and Coach Ruthshatz was involved with that type of program at St. Anthony's. Interesting to me that no one comments about the fact that they no longer play Moeller. I would think CCH would try to schedule them....have heard rumors about why they no longer play but I certainly have no information or knowledge about that. CovCath and Highlands should both easily win their district. Very likely they could meet in semis or finals of Ninth. But.....you never know what might happen!!

I have been told Moeller was not interested in playing CovCath for many off the court reasons. Find the hypocrisy in that if you wish…
