Can anyone challange Newport Central Catholic for the 9th region title next week?

I haven't seen the bracket yet, so I don't know the matchups. BTW, where is the All "A" at this year?

NCC gave Highlands a run for their money last night .....they looked pretty strong to me.

Is St. Henry in the ALL A?

Yeah.

The All "A" State Tournament is in Richmond.

Maybe a better thread title would be "9th Region All A Classic" so as to avoid confusion?

My bad...I knew that. I should have clarified. Where is the 9th region tournament being held this year?

Girls at Dayton

Boys at Newport

I don't think anyone will challenge NCC. NCC, Holy Cross and St. Henry are in the same bracket so it should end up an NCC/Ludlow finals.

I agree that it will probably be Ludlow and NCC in the finals. Though, I gotta admit, I would love to see Ludlow actually give NCC a run for their money.

If they get to this game against NCC, maybe the run on 70 point games and margins of scores of plus 40 against A schools may come to an end:rolleyes:

I don't get it...What's with the rolling eyes? Are you insinuating that no school in the tournament has even the least bit of a chance to challenge New Cath?

I think that we should be seeing NewCath in Richmond this year. Although I think that Holy Cross and St. Henry could give them a run. The way that Coach Dawn has these girls playing it is going to be tough for anyone to beat them.

Not my point at all. If you take a look at some of the point differences in some of the scores against some of the smaller and weaker Class A schools that Ludlow has played you may understand my comment. Beating teams by margins of 40 plus points may help your scoring average, but at times has showed a lack of sportsmanship. This would not be referring to the players, but maybe the direction that they are given. To continue to press teams when up 30 and play starters deep into the 4 quarter just to hit a scoring averages and flex some muscle is what the reference is made towards.

 

I will stand by this comment though, Ron Dawn has always had his teams ready to play around tourney time, so yes I would give NCC the nod at this point to be the favorite to win the 9th Region A.
