Towles will lead the Birds to victory!

Q - I know you've brought up the (Frosh) True in a few of your threads. Is he seeing much varsity floor time?

 

Yes, he has played Varsity minutes. He starts JV as well. In the opener he probably played 4-5 minutes spelling Towles and Stewart.

Wonder if any of the Dixie - Highlands, end of the football playoff game mojo will carry over to the basketball court?

I don't think so.........I do think this could be a physical game though. Dixie is too strong for HHS at this point.......the guard play will be the key. I believe that HHS will improve a lot as the season continues and this game could be more competitive if it were in Feb........Dixie by 12 at home.

The poll pretty much says it all, the birds struggle and the colonels get some revenge for their gridiron losses.

Since there are only two varsity football players on Highlands basketball team I don't think the "revenge" will be very sweet.

I was at the game, and True played at least 5 minutes in every quarter except the 4th.

There are actually 5 football players on the Varsity squad. Towles/New/McCoy/Turner and Collinsworth. All 5 of these guys played a part in the destruction of Dixie during the football season whether it was in the JV trouncing or the Varsity. Well, with the exception of Collinsworth who didnt play due to injury.

 

A couple Dixie players and their fans will likely look at this as a way to exact revenge but to truly exact revenge they have to do it on the football field.

9 min according to stat sheet.

If this was football I'd say you'd be correct.... Hatton is very talented. Looking forward to watching him play.

Revenge has to come in every other sport because it wont happen on the football field. If you dont think every school who has been on the wrong side of a HHS football beat down doesnt think this way you are mistaken.

But should be a sophomore. sorry I had to keep beating that dead horse. LOL

 

I just dont understand why so many times Hatton's name is mentioned, there is a comment about his exemption status. Many high schools including Highlands have exemptions on their teams. It is now a part of High School basketball regardless of each individuals reason why. Why can't we just talk about a child's talent and leave it at that? Hatton will be eighteen just like most of the boys he will be playing with and against during his senior varsity basketball season. This subject is a constantly brought up regardless of what the thread is about. These threads are set up to discuss specific topics, not to continue to beat a dead horse.

Name the kids on Highlands that were held back after the 6th grade? Im just curious because I know all of them and none of them have been. It was a joke about the fact that it that horse has been beaten so many times. You obviously think I was serious. Read between the lines Hoosierdaddy and dont be so quick to jump on the defense. The kid can play no matter what grade he is in and that has been recognized.

First off Hatton was not held back after the 6th grade either. Nick True is considered an exemption, don't know about the other kids. My point is Hatton is not the only kid playing in norhtern Kentucky and around the state that has been held back. Yet it seems like he is the only one that ever gets called out about it and I don't understand.
