Holmes by 9

Gee, didn't Cov. Cath. play Highlands earlier only win by three? A team such as Highlands is who Holmes will stuggle with a bit beacuse they do slow down the tempo of the game an they are very physical and big. Seems as though Cov. Cath. didn't exactly blow them out either. So lets not get to excited by the margin of victories wether it be by three or fourteen points. As I've posted before in the Holmes/Newport game summary Holmes has a tendency to playdown to their opponets. They sometimes tend to coast once they get a lead and only play good enough to hang on for the win. Yes this may come back to bite them in the end, but only time will tell and I look forward to seeing this play out hopefully all the way to the ninth region championship and hope it is a Holmes/Cov. Cath. matchup. Might be the best region championship game in the state.

I wouldn't use Highlands to compare CCH and Holmes. HHS really seems to be struggling this year and just doesn't make for good comparisons between opponents. I think the real test comes on Monday when Holmes faces off against Boone.

With Jefferson comming back, does this make Holmes the favorite to win the Region?

Highlands holding the ball and slowing it down is based more on history than the current reality, IMO and most of the people saying it (outsiders or malachicrunch are people whose sample of seeing the birds is limited).

 

I think if anything because of this teams limited scoring ability in the half court, Willie has done his best to try to get the guys to push it and score in transition.

I think the jury is still out on team chemistry. If that comes together, they are definitely the Regional favorite.

I, agree with you HHS dad. My point was margin of victory is not that big of a deal and to not read to much into those margins. Games play out for different reasons and margin of victory could be more or less for several reasons and not a true indicator of the talent level of the two teams. I still will predict a Holmes/CCH regional final and personally I can't wait should be a classic!

Why is Boone a better comparison than Highlands? Boone beat Highlands on a shot at the buzzer and I believe has lost 4 in a row or 4 out of 5.

Boone County 17-8 overall 8-3 region

Highlands 5-15 overall 3-6 region

 

BC may have lost 3 of its last 5, but HHS has lost 9 of its last 10.

Holmes has a few more games to get their act together before districts but I would still rate CovCath the region favorite. No denying the talent of Holmes but talent alone isn't enough to convince me to annoit them the favorites to get to Rupp.

If it was based on talent, i think Holmes would be going for the three peat this year as far as regional titles.
