No Simpson was out. McGraw lit up CCH for 15 first half points the 1st meeting. I think Kowolonek had a good game as well. He made the game winner.

 

I expect a battle that will go to Overtime and free throws will win it as I see McGraw hitting 4 FT's in OT to give the Birds the victory by 2pts 54 to 52.

You really, really disappoint me not knowing Nic played at CovCath. Here are his stats from the Enquirer.

:confused: Long day brother. I wasnt at the game, I listened to it though on internet broadcast. I stand corrected and I am ready for my whipping.

:lol:Forgiven. But you can't post about this game anymore!

I already gave my thoughts. Bondick back for CCH wont make this any closer or different IMO. He is much needed but it will be an OT game and a Bird victory because Nic and Greg will not be denied. All those hours spent this past summer and Fall working on their game alone in the gym was for one thing and that was a 9th Region Championship. See you at the games boys.

I think the Colonels come out hot and beat the team from Ft. Thomas by 10+.

The regular season game is no indication to this game. CCH was not playing good ball and without their SR leader and PG Bondick. This game is a complete turnaround from last one and the Colonels win by double d's.

The majority has Highlands winning. Except for the one point win over CovCath (yes, without Bondick), what is the signature win for Highlands to base this on? Help me out Bluebirds.:confused:

No response; which is what I thought.

You are certainly forgiven. You were listening to the Cov. Cath. Network and I can completely understand why you were'nt sure if Simpson was playing or not.

I think too much is being put in to Bondick being out of CCH losses. While he is a key player, he isn't the whole team.

Wow!!!! You beat me to that punch! That's funny.

No, but lately Shover is. Lately means since Bondick is back.

True, But at the same time when you lose you Sr leader, Starting PG for 2 years and have to leave the team in a first year starter's hands. It makes a difference. No Bondick does not score 30 or take over the game but he controls the floor and the rest of the team better than any other player can.

 

Senior leadership is so important in HS and College basketball.

C'mon Cantstop, what about the Bellevue game?
