Many thanks to @The Double Deuce for the game preview and updates. Such a huge promoter of NKY girls' basketball here on BGP. You're the best 22!

Congrats to Cooper on 4 regional championships in a row! Best of luck down state! Also congrats to Notre Dame on a great season. That was a fun game to watch, and you battled until the end!

heck of a season cut short.  

Maybe Cooper can bring those 8th Region Refs with them down to state. Will certainly help!

After basically the first two minutes of the game, Cooper led for the rest of the game. If Cooper didn’t struggle to make free throws at the end, Notre Dame probably loses by about 6 or 8 and doesn’t even come down to a last missed shot by Notre Dame.  Cooper was the best team in the region all year, and they were the best team on the court tonight.

Watch the game again unbiased. They were protected by the gray haired ref. If you really watch the game unbiased you will see his bias. It is what it is. I’m out. I know the double duece hates when you go after refs but in this case it was true NDA was under the thumb. I’m out. This was is my last post. The last 2 fouls on NDA s player Lawrie were bogus. Adult fans from Cooper waved her to the bench. Go Sacred Heart. Wow.

Sure seems like you watched unbiased. ?

I’ll jump in and pick the PaNDAs because…I am a fan.  I hope I don’t jinx these girls.  

I do think NDA will put a little more pressure on the shooters than Dixie did last night. They have to in order to win because the Jags really don’t have anyone that can’t drop in threes with ease. They put on an impressive show last night behind the arc. 

Whoever plays the best Defense tomorrow will get the trip to Rupp. Go Pandas!

This was a post by you. So I doubt you can say you watched the game unbiased either.

Ouch!! That was a Jab on a well-played game by both teams!! Great season NDA. Congrats to Cooper. Well deserved, REFS are definitely not the reason. 

Jaguars vs. Jaguars in the Sweet 16 first round.

Mercy defeated Whitefield Academy for the 6th Region title. 

Cooper vs. Mercy has been a nice series over the last handful of years.

2025 and still ad nauseam blaming of the referees. ??‍♂️
