CovCath has the depth to keep Crews in check. I'll be very surprised if Conner gets out of the 40's. I'll say 59-45, CovCath.

Conner's '01 team was good. But them beating CovCath was definitely an upset. CovCath was #1 in the region, having only lost one 9th region game all year (at Dixie by 3). That includes beating Ronny Dawn and Co. at NCC. Earlier in the year the Colonels beat Conner by 19.

 

That Conner team was actually lucky to have even made the region tournament. They beat St. Henry by 2 in overtime in a district opener. That game featured a buzzer beater by a Conner player from the elbow that either won the game or sent it to overtime (I could tell you where I was sitting but can't recall if it was in regulation or OT).

 

I knew CCH won at Conner handily a few weeks before, but I did not know by exactly how much. For some reason I would've guessed 17. Close enough. I remember that being a great atmosphere, though. I seem to remember Conner being highly ranked at the time, as well.

That Conner team was good. They had Jason Hudgins, Jeremy Stevenson, Chris Brown, Marcus Johnson, and transfer Terry Johnson. All 5 could have been 1st or 2nd team all region.

 

As for the St. Henry game in the District Semis, I can remember it like it was yesterday because I was leaping infront of Terry Johnson as he shot the ball on a "Home Run" play with 2 tics on the clock. The ball banked in and I was in his face, so I know he never called bank. I'm still bitter if you can't tell.:madman:

 

Conner then went on to beat NCC I believe, then lost to Highlands in the Regional finals in OT or double OT.

I thought you might have a better memory of it than I. I couldn't recall if the shot tied it and sent the game into OT or was a winner. Good game, and you're right, that was a good Conner team. There were lots of good teams in the region that year.

Closer than people believe.

CCH 64-62
