StraightShooter Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Just wanted to tip my hat to the Holmes Bulldogs for a remarkable run. Great job representing NKY over the past 4 years. I know that many of these young men will have bright futures. Coach Henley is 100% class and deserves much credit for all of the great accomplishments at Holmes. Best wishes to every senior from Holmes. The disappointment will not last long because you can't keep a champion down!
sportsfanhhs Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Very well said. This team has had an awesome run. I have enjoyed watching these young men for the last 4 years and look forward to many more. Keep your heads held high, you have made some big accomplishments and have a long future ahead of you. Once A Bulldog....Always A Bulldog!!!

Boy have I enjoyed watching them over the last three years with Pittman's big dunks, and how he always makes it exciting. Also, love watching the Johnson brothers because of how they play the game. They play it how it is supposed to be played and are some of the few players that still have a mid range game. I know that there were other plays on the teams the past years but I wanted to individually thank these three because of how much I have enjoyed watching them play.

CatsCatsCats Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Me and Spikes have really enjoyed keeping up with Holmes the last 4 years. I was hoping to see them at the State tourney but they've had a great run either way.
Dawgs28 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 As a Holmes grad I am proud of what these boys have done, bringing some positive stories to the school and finally not hearing any more stories of it being a "bad school".
Reality Check Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 They have definately made it fun. They played three years in NKY with a huge target on their back. I wish them all luck in their future endeavors.
Walter Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Ryan Ernst made an interesting point in today's paper....regardless of the outcome tonight, this group will go down as one of the best in 9th region history and they have put together one of the best runs in state history. Just a list of these seniors' accomplishments: 95-11 Overall record 48-4 v 9th region teams 92-8 v Kentucky teams 21-2 in postseason play 2 state championship appearances 1 state title Good luck to all the Holmes' seniors: Elijah Pittman, Ricardo Johnson, Jeremiah Johnson, Jaydale Herndon, Demetrius Avery, Willie Slusher. You 6 have paved the way for the future of Holmes basketball.

Three names that should be included Riley, Dom Johnson, and Housley - they were the difference between this years team and last years State Champs - They were badly missed!

Snappy502 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Three names that should be included Riley, Dom Johnson, and Housley - they were the difference between this years team and last years State Champs - They were badly missed! Do not forget Arez Henderson, he was the heart of the team that got beat in the state championship. He was an excellent defender that could jump out of the gym.
Flotsam Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Do not forget Arez Henderson, he was the heart of the team that got beat in the state championship. He was an excellent defender that could jump out of the gym. Arez is my favorite Bulldog player from the run. He was a shut down defender. Great rebounder. Could handle the ball, drive to the hoop, shoot from the outside, was a great passer and a coach on the floor.

EZ Living Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 This group has to rate right up there with the CovCath teams of the late 60's, the NewCath teams of the early 70's and the Holmes teams of the late 70's. They have accomplised something that none of those groups was able to do and have the ring to show for it.
CATS2017 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Best of luck to these boy's been watching them for many years AAU and high school been a joy.
malachicrunch Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 This group has to rate right up there with the CovCath teams of the late 60's, the NewCath teams of the early 70's and the Holmes teams of the late 70's. They have accomplised something that none of those groups was able to do and have the ring to show for it. Right on:thumb: They have to go down as one of the best 9th region squads ever. Congrats to Holmes on an unprecedented run for the 9th region!
