Final from Hebron. Not much to say other than a very very ugly name. Holy Cross did not hit a single three-pointer. All of their points, for the most part came on layups.  It was a very physical game.  Hamilton sat out almost the entire third-quarter. I am not really sure why she did come back in the fourth.
 

Got a funny text from a basketball person I knew in attendance tonight:  "Least pleasant basketball game I've watched this year, my eyes hurt." 

Made me chuckle.

They weren’t wrong. 

Holy Cross finishes out the regular season 25-5 and a 13-game winning streak. They are 17-1 in 2024 with the only loss coming on the road 59-57 at #2 George Rogers Clark. None of that means anything now though as the district tournament starts next week (at Holmes for the 35th) and regional tournament the following week!

In the LinkNKY article today on this game last night they allude to Anna Hamilton being "limited due to an injury"?  First I've heard of it, but can anyone that was there shed some light?  

If she isn't 100% next Tuesday against Ryle their slim chances will drop dramatically.

No anti-Ryle sentiment, but Anna Hamilton's brilliant career never including a 9th Region Tournament game at NKU would be an absolute shame.

The first half I did not see her playing injured. There was a play in the second half where it looked like she got hit in the face maybe poked in the eye after that is when she went out. That is the only thing I noticed. She went back in and seemed OK when she played in the fourth quarter.  We were wondering why she went out.  Kerns went out with an injury at one point late in the game.  I know in a recent game she had injury to her teeth, so I don’t know if she was also hit in the mouth. The game was quite physical. There was a lot of pushing, shoving and elbows involved on both sides along with lots of frustration on both sides from missed shots and dozens of turnovers.
