A team that goes no smaller than 6'5 and you want them off your backs?

 

I have been watching GRC for the last five years and every year Lexington Catholic has beaten us with that same press. I think we have people this year that does a good job handling that press that we have never had before. As much as Bopper handles the ball, he has very few turnovers. He and Robbie does a fine job of keeping the ball in the center of the floor and beating the press. Any time you dribble to the side against that press, and stop, you're trapped. a loss ball. Vinny does a good job in the middle receiving the ball against the press.. You have to get the ball down the floor before you can score (good logic) I just wish that when they have a two on one that they would make a pass. Robbie did a good defensive job on Schuette. Catholic hit some luck shots banking in those threes also.

You can take up all you want for those officials but I think they were horrible. They made some horrible charge-block calls and Catholic was all over the backs of the Clark players on rebounds and no calls were made. I didn't like them at all. All of Clarks big men played well. A good win for the CARDS.

Another big win for the Cards. Really like the new Jordan uni's as well.

 

Can't wait to see the outcome of that Ballard game. I just might make the trip to Winchester.

No, they want their players punished for being bigger, more physical, and athletic.

So You're saying that if you're 6'5" or taller, and you jump on their back, then there's no violation. I'm sorry for not knowing that rule, MOM

Poor fella!

If there is one thing that makes my blood boil this is it .Why are newspaper reporters elsewhere in the Commonwealth allowed to be so lazy that they do not use a schools proper name when reporting on them .They are Lexington Catholic not Catholic would you just call Clark Co just Co ? No ! Use the proper name . This does not happen here in Northern Kentucky and it shouldn't happen in the rest of the Commonwealth http://www.kentucky.com/2011/02/02/1619915/clark-county-boys-outduel-lexington.html#more#ixzz1CnlGhEgJ

GRC has too much experience to let the 2-2-1 bother them. Turnovers against that press can happen on the front end as well as the back end. I think the reason it works well against high school competition is that teams do not have a full complement of ball handlers, and teams become tentative, with the end result being that they freak out. It really isn't, in my opinion that difficult a press to break, but it requires patience and at the same time a plan to attack, with the goal of getting a layup. My guess is that GRC accomplished that as evidenced by the picture of the dunk in this thread.

Good win for a talented and experienced team. The refs and gym were being attacked before the game started. The refs are attacked after the game. Why can't you be gracious and congratulate both teams for a well played game. I guess the only reason Lex Cath stayed in the game was because of the refs and the "lucky" shots they made. Give Lex Cath credit for coming back when they were on the verge of being blown out. There were some clutch shots made in the last few minutes that made the game interesting. Oh, that's right, it was all the refs and lucky shots!

And Don't forget the old gym, that had alot to do with it also, some of comments in earlier post talk like just because GRC was the opponent, everything else that goes on at Lex Cath should stop for the game.

In Lexington I think there is only one high school that is Catholic so everyone knows that "Catholic" is Lexington Catholic. There is a difference in Northern KY.

While I understand where you are coming from, most journalists will reference the proper name of something or someone first and then shorten it throughout an article as they did in this case. I noticed something else, the pictures from the game show the jerseys of Clark County reading "Clark County." What is the proper name of their school? George Rogers Clark or Clark County. The team I work with played at Clark County and I believe George Rogers Clark is on the front of their school building, but I don't know for sure.

The High School's official name is Geroge Rogers Clark High School. Most sports reporting use Clark Co though.
