Covington Holy Cross 67 Newport Central Catholic 48

[rjal]

Final from the All A region 9 finals. NCC came out hot with Brannen hitting a couple of threes in the first quarter.  HC was up 26-13 then NCC cut the lead.  Holy Cross pressed and scored a ton on transition.  In the second and third quarters the Indians pulled away and ran up a 30 point lead. They never got the running clock but with a little over 3 minutes left Coach Arlinghaus put in the JV.  NCC turned up the heat by pressing with the varsity still in.  I don’t have scoring but Brannen had three threes and at least another basket.  Eaglin was their leading scorer but a bunch were in the last three minutes of the game when the HC JV had a hard time getting the ball up the court and scoring against NCC’s starters.

3 All A's in a row for HC in the 9th?  

Nice for them to get a shot to defend their State All A title. 

Congrats.

Three in a row.  They barely lost to NCC the year before that.  NCC and HC have pretty much dominated the 9th region All A

Just saw that NewCath and HC each now have 15 9th Region Girls All A titles.

Yep NCC won the two years before Holy Cross’s current three peat  and Holy Cross won the year before that.

Nice job girls and Coach Arlinghaus! He’s done a wonderful job over at HC!
