Covington Holy Cross 45 Newport 34

[Theoldman12]

Both teams played somewhat sloppy the 1st half and HC went in winning 17-16. The third quarter was even until about 3 minutes left when HC went on a run led by Blake Trimpe. They controlled the fourth quarter getting a couple easy lay-ups and controlling the tempo. I'd guess that Trimpe led Holy Cross with around 20. For Newport it was probably pretty even with McDaniel leading the way with around 15. Again these are off memory as I don't know the official numbers.

This was about what was expected. Good win for the Tribe though @ Newport and good to see Blake Trimpe catch fire.

Trimpe did have a great game. He had 19 points and really looked good shooting. He also pulled down 6 rebounds.

45? Was HC running and gunning?

No. IMO they will make a good run in the All A and possibly the ninth region all together.

Ugly game to watch. Lots of missed layups by both teams. Trimpe had a great game, but I don't understand why Newport put their shortest guy(under 6'0 ft) on him?

[Dowork]

Good for blake.

Good to see a turn around from Latonia, but would still like to see about 64ppg.

Newport's offense is a disaster I don't understand the plays Russell comes up with. They have Darnell either at the top of the key or on the perimeter 95 percent of the time. They need to post him up and feed him the ball down low. This wasn't a fun game to watch at all very sloppy by both teams. Trimpe knocked down a few 3's in the 3rd and after that it was curtains for the Cats.

I heard Green and Tucker were gone from Newport Squad. Seems like every year they have to deal with kids coming and going.

What happened with Greene and Tucker? Greene has been inactive the last 2 games not exactly sure why. If true that really delivers a blow to the Cats. Tucker has really been a head case the past few years it such a shame that talent is going to go to waste once again. Russell just cant seem to get it done down at Newport when will the higher ups put 2 and 2 together. Year in and year out talent has gone down the drain.

I saw Tucker playing in the game do you mean he is done now after that game?

I just know I heard both left the team and either are back or attempting to come back. This is from a source very close to the program.
