It's getting pretty hot in these gyms this time of year. With the dead period starting next week, how has your girls' team been playing so far this summer? Please report on the "summertime scoop" on your team(s) of interest - AND indicate your region's summertime outlook, too, if you have one.

Things in Northern Kentucky have been a bit better I would think. The hot boxes used to be Ludlow and Walton-Verona. Both now have air. Ludlow actually got to the point of hanging meat during their team camps last week. I thought I heard that Bellevue was the same way, but I may be wrong.

We played in the Thomas More Camp last week and our JV team played at Dixie on court #2 the heat in there was terrible. We played two games back to back with only 7 players for the first and 9 about half way through the second. The heat was so bad that the ref stopped the game to let one girl leave the floor who couldnt breath. However when you walked around the corner the big gym was ice cold. Go figure.

The KHSAA dead period was an outstanding move on the association's part when it was passed several years ago. For the teams that have been hitting pretty hard in June, and especially for the multiple sport athletes and their families, some down time is simply a good thing. Plus the universal application the rest period intentionally causes no one sport to bear the brunt of it, and it appears to make it so that no one team gains competition advantage. I hope the athletes, coaches and their families, enjoy the vacation, and again, thank you KHSAA.
