One last prediction. I predict the game will be scrubbed because of weather.

No way does CovCath miss two days of school in a row! I honestly don't think we missed one day of school due to snow in my four years there way back when!

 

Heck the only "demerits" I received in my four years at CovCath was in my freshmen year when due to snow I was late for class.

 

I drove to school with two seniors and Sleepy Hollow was closed, as was I-75 and Kyles Lane. The Dixie hwy was so packed with traffic the Covington Police wouldn't let us on it either but I got my demerits anyway.

 

Still to this day, I blame Father Robbins of St. Pius the X Edgewood, Ky. for getting me into trouble. He wasn't Father Robbins at the time but a senior at CovCath and he was our navigator trying to get us to school!

 

It was a fun morning but I was the only one in the car who had to pay for it, as the seniors didn't get into trouble at all.

CovCath is on a 90 min delay according to channel 9.

 

I expect this one could be decided tomorrow if we get more snow like "butt chin" Steve Raleigh is predicting.

That's why I stick to calling it the "Channel 9 Substantially True News".

I guess I don't consider the 3 man a guard. Trust me, this team is much better than last year. We had this year's Highlands' within 3 after 2 qtrs and within 6 after 3 qtrs. Last year we were blown out twice.

 

This CCH team does play harder but is only better than the team from last year because of Thelen (who will only continue to get better with each game). Again last year's team lost 3 of top 7 players to illness and injury - Pauly to illness/injury for most of 2nd half of season, Thelen to broken elbow in mid Jan, and their best player and point guard Shover to illness for the whole year. Evans sure would have helped last year. Where would this year's team be if their best player Thelen was out for the year – yes very weak. Please enough said about last year’s team.

 

This year's team has Thelen and Wellbrock down low playing well but lacks consistent guard play. Evans & Pauly need to play more minutes and start making some outside shots to help open up down low for the big guys (Evans is shooting well on 3s at about 35% but Pauly actually shot better last year before he was sick). The other two fast but unproductive junior guards have to do more than play a little defense. They must learn to be an outside threat and to penetrate, draw and dish to the open man. If not, their minutes should go quickly to more productive players. Also Riedinger should get a chance at some real minutes as he has proven he can shoot and make free throws (please do not tell me he needs to get bigger as we all know this team needs someone to make outside shots and not turn the ball over. Also Lother for Highlands was a thin but solid guard last year and this year). Wilson (also needs more minutes) and Heimbrock must also hit those mid range shots from the 3 position and Connelly's energy can help down low and on the press when needed.

 

I agree that this team will beat Beechwood and Holy Cross and get to the region. They have an opportunity to suprise many and win two games in the region but they must start now playing the guys that will hit some outside shots (especially free throws) and not make turnovers. Without some consistent production from the outside other teams will more and more sit in a zone and double and triple team Thelen and dare someone else to make shots.

 

Also Highlands was missing their 2nd best player George Grote due to a sore back - he sat on the bench Tuesday night and did not dress for the CCH game.

Last year's Beechwood team was better last year as they have not replaced Romes, Buettal and Snyder. CovCath is much better this year with Thelen and the guard play. There were two great games between CovCath and Beechwood last year. I expect this game to be a huge CovCath win. You think a rematch with the team that knocked CovCath out of post season play without a region appearance will come into play a little bit. And the game at CovCath on a Friday night with the crazies showing up in rare form. This could get ugly.

 

Unfortunately, I don't think it will be an A performance for the Crazies. NDA has their Silver Bells dance tonight. Many of the crazies will be absent. I think it is a good life test for the youngmen. Girls vs Sports. A battle they will wage time and time again through out their lives:D

I believe thats two years in a row the Beechwood vs CCH game was the same day.
