With about 2 weeks to go in the regular season, how is your JV team playing this year? Post won-lost record and brief update on season thus far. The JV Regional Tourney is just around the corner.

Campbell County is 11-1, and having a great season.

The Camels lone loss was to Dixie, they split their games this year, each winning at home

HC JV team is about 11-3 but don't quote me on the win total. They have beat good Ccov Cath and Ryle teams twice each convincingly and look forward to a long run in the jv tornament.

I know one of their losses was to Simon Kenton. Do you know who the other losses were?

Not to make excuses, but a good portion of Covington Catholics losses on the JV level have been while a good portion of the team was with varsity. Various players moved up to sit the bench and do little more then courtesy run with the varsity leaving their JV team extremely depleted. On any given night the JV Colonels may be playing without 5 or 6 of their usual starters, but when they are at full strength they will be a tough team to beat.

Sophs Klein and Warning are full-time players for varsity. Who are the kids that comprise a "good portion of the JV team" that have gone up to varsity and sat the bench? The same thing applies to most JV teams in NKY - talented underclassman go up to varsity and miss JV games. I don't thing this is anything special to CCH's situation.

Ryle JV is now 15-4 after having swept New Cath in a DH yesterday. Only losses are to Holy Cross (twice, both close games) and New Cath and one to Anderson (Ohio). Ryle is playing extremely well and I believe have won 12 of of their last 13.

Warning is no longer a fulltime varsity player, due to his lack of at bats. He played with the JV squad when they took on scott, even though the varsity team had a game as well. Logan Siemer, starting second basemen and leadoff hitter has missed several JV games to run the bases on the varsity level. Brennan Schlagbaum (sp?) has also missed JV games to pinch run for varsity, Niel Martin, Chris Gerwe and Brett Stayton I beleive have also missed JV games to do little more then sit the bench for varsity. If I'm not mistaken nearly half if not more of the CovCath JV team's losses have been without their usual starters. I agree many teams lose talented underclassmen to varsity, but in most instances they are starters at that level, only one sophmore starts varsity in this situation.

Ryle and Campbell face off on Monday.

They lost to McNicholas(they had three startering players on "mandatory" rest and only lost by 1) and they lost to NCC.

Thanks and here is a shout out to cardsnation for the pick me up I could not remember who they lost to. Also I am not attacking Cov Cath but every jv team has lost players to varsity not just them. HC has three juniors on jv and all three have been recently playing some varsity and soph Roenker plays only varsity for obvious reasons. So Cov Cath is not the only one. It is every team.

I do agree that everyteam loses talented underclassmen to their respective varsity teams, but in most teams circumstances those players they lose are getting a good amount of playing time. Cov Cath on the other hand has lost players temporarily, while they dress for varsity but do not get off the bench. I was not trying to make excuses just trying to say, dont let their sub .500 record fool you, because, I could be wrong, but I think they will be at full strength with their normal JV roster making them a tough team to beat.

Ok I understand better. But yea if they get a few of those players back for the jv tornament it could be very interesting.

I agree, I believe that the last two games that they have played, the Colonels have had a few of their regular players, and they have played quite well and gotten two big wins.
