February 6, 200917 yr Highlands 49 Newport 40 Final 8th grade Birds were down 2 starters due to sickness and were down 40-31 with 4 minutes left in the game. They went on an 18-0 run to end the game led by Bailey Witte's 11 4th qtr points which included 3 treys. He ended up with 18 pts. Highlands' David Christian had an exceptional game on the boards and finished with 5 or 6 steals as well. If there was a loose ball he got it. Very nice comeback win for the Birds. I heard it was a good game. Great comeback for the Birds - I really wished I could have seen this one - How did Newport look this time around?
February 6, 200917 yr I heard it was a good game. Great comeback for the Birds - I really wished I could have seen this one - How did Newport look this time around? I cant believe you werent there Killercats. Newport looked pretty good through 3 qtrs. They were hitting a lot of their shots but the wheels fell off the bus the last 4 min. Witte got very hot in the last 3 min. Game was marred with 7 sec left and Highlands running the weave to end the game when Witte got slammed to the ground on an intentional foul. Kid lost it and made a bad decision. He showed good sportsmanship though after the game and apologized which I thought was stand up.
February 6, 200917 yr Twenhofel won tonight. I think they played IHM. It was a close game at halftime then Twenhofel held the other team to 4 points in the second half.

Yeah unfortunately I had to work, I was going to stop by but I was worried that I would get a call. Everyone was texting me about the game and I heard what happen with Witte during the game. I hope that Witte is okay. I am glad that the Newport player did apologize afterwards. The kid from Newport is a good kid and plays hard all the time. Newport has improved a lot since the Christmas break so hopefully they will shock so teams in the playoffs.
February 6, 200917 yr Twenhofel won tonight. I think they played IHM. It was a close game at halftime then Twenhofel held the other team to 4 points in the second half. Summit played IHM on Thurs. night and won by 11. Ugly, ugly game in the first half as the Jags couldn't convert free throws, lay-ups or any other shot they took and found themselves down 16-11. A strong defensive 2nd half finally got them going, but still looked like they haven't played in awhile. Hats off to IHM, ALL of those boys play with heart and hustle their tails off.
February 6, 200917 yr TMS 42- Blessed Sac 21. Very sloppy start but defense ruled the second half. All of the TMS players were back from injury and played well.

February 6, 200917 yr I heard the state tourny will be in Lexington this year at KBA.The lexington private schools will not be allowed to participate because Fayette County will boycott the tourny and KBA will lose revenue.This type of behavior from FC is the exact reason why the athletics in the Lexington public schools has dwindled to nothing,what a joke and disservice to the kids.

KBA has put this on for the past several years. Are you speaking of Lexington Catholic not being able to attend? If you are, they shouldn't they don't have a middle school.
February 6, 200917 yr Author Lexington Catholic is not allowed to participate because they have 2-3 middle schools that make up what is called a Lexington Catholic team. They don't let Scott County combine their 3, they all play sepperate. I can see Lex Cath having a problem with it but they have to follow the rules established by the KBA. I appreciate them enforcing them.
February 6, 200917 yr Walton-Verona fields teams starting with the 1st grade. Play in NCKC. (Gallatin, Carroll, Grant, Williamstown, Owen, Trimble, Henry & Eminence) Not all of those schools start their programs at the 1st grade level. This year they are also playing in Heritage and Southwest Ohio. Both boys and girls teams.
February 6, 200917 yr Good luck to all the teams competing in the middle school state tournament. :thumb:

Kudos to them for starting the youngsters early. I always enjoyed traveling out to WV to play or watch games. They really love their hoops out there.
February 7, 200917 yr Another loss for the Sharp Middle School Wildcats as they fall @ Beechwood today by 8. It has been a terribly LONG season for these young men.
