Final from Taylor Mill

Nice rebound for the Eagles.

Coach Carr had the Eagles focused tonight and Kellen Smith played a whale of a game.

Difference in this game was beyond the 19'9 stripe and I think the Eagles hit close to 8 three pointers and I can't recall maybe but one for the Colonels.

Congrats to the Eagles for getting a win right after the loss to Holmes on Saturday.

Another example of how crazy this season has been for a lot of teams. Scott's loss on Saturday by 32 to Holmes, then they beat CovCath. Reminds me of CovCath over Christmas with a 36 point loss to Ballard and then they beat Henry Clay. It's like someone or a few someones have already said on this website. The game is all about style of play and matchups.

I Listened to the webcast and apparently Cov Cath had a very solid game, Scott made the plays when it counted and Smith for Scott played a great game, the broadcasters referred to it as "a clinic". Game was tied with just a couple of minutes to play and Scott simply executed better at the end.

 

Scott with a good win, congrats to their team and to Mr. Smith on a fantastic night of basketball.

Wow--Mr. Jeckel meet Mr. Hyde?? Topsy-turvy season in NKY basketball. Congrats to the Eagles on the win, and the bounce back from their big loss to Holmes.

Congrats to the Eagles on the W.

Nice bounce back for the Eagles.

Congrats to the Scott team and coaching staff. Great win!!!!

Do you think coach Carr had more than a few things to say to the boys after the Holmes game?

I think you hit the nail on the head, it's all about matchups and I'll add something to that, coaching. I think that coaching will play a big role in who wins the 9th region this year. Which coach can make the proper adjustments against their opponent for the night and who can have their kids ready to play. I will be curious to see how the regional tournament is laid out. If it is spread out like it has been on occasion in the past it will give teams more time to prepare for their opponents.

Covington Catholic (14-7) -- Maschinot 2, Connelly 14, Thelan 36, Baker 15, Cleves.

 

Scott (11-8) -- Haynes 22, Smith 28, Stivers 7, Jackson 2, Farris 6, Roberts 9.

Thelan throws in 36 and Cov Cath loses??

Smith and Haynes combine for 50 for the victory. Nice effort boys!

I noticed only 9 players scored in this game with 141 total put up. Sort of shocking?

I didn't see Junior Ryan Hayden in the box score again today. I've taken an interest in him since watching him play his grade school career at St. Joe, Cold Spring and would have loved to have seen him in a green Brossart uniform in high school.

 

He was a gifted, talented athlete then, and has filled out and grown nicely since then. I'm probably somewhat sour grapes over losing him, and I realize that CovCath is "loaded" with talent, and you have to wait your turn, but it boggles me that a kid who could have made a major impact in one program doesn't see the floor in another.
