Three pretty nice games today at OCHS.

1:00       Ballard vs S. Oldham

2:45      Seneca vs N. Oldham

6:15       Fern Creek vs Oldham County

 

Hopefully it's warm in the gym.

I was lucky enough to watch all three of these games .

South vs Ballard was a great game. You could tell in the second half that Ballard didn’t have any legs after their battle vs St X 18 hours earlier but the Dragons came to play. Colton W looked like he looked in the state tourney last year. I heard a kid behind me say “he is back”. 
 

North Oldham vs Seneca- the craziest game of the day. It was a tough physical game that Seneca rallied to come back. The last play of the game was hard to understand what happen I wish it was on video somewhere.  I will try by best to describe.  Seneca hit a layup with 8sec to cut it to 2.  North player picks up the ball and looks to be taking his time getting out of bounds to waste seconds off the clock. Once he gets out of bounds he pitches the ball to the other official. The ball hits the official but he doesn’t catch it because he is counting the 5 seconds. The player from North runs and grabs the ball that looks like it was bouncing on or near the line. The player from North gets the ball and looks to step over the line and throws the ball in then as soon as a teammate catches the ball the horn goes off and then it’s GAME OVER. It was so wild it looked like the whole sequence stunned the official under the bucket .  I felt like it could have been a 5 second violation or an over the line violation but it happened so fast I am not sure what should have been called. It was wild. A really fun game to watch. 
 

Oldham County vs Fern Creek-  Freshman, Ty Bryant put on a show of going for 36pt 15reb. Fern Creek is not very good but it was still a good win for the Colonels.

Yeah, I was there also, tired legs or not, SO would have beaten a whole lot of teams yesterday the way they shot the ball.  If they can do that a few more times in the regional they will win it.  Who knows if that will happen.

I agree with you on the call or no call that ended the NO/Seneca game.  Great game.

Oldham County is coming.

Yes, the gym was cold, as it always is.
