One challenge Boone has is that 3 of the 5 that are usually on the floor simply aren't that quick or fast. Loose balls, unless at their feet, are going to be a problem.

 

Well last night, even the ones at their feet were left for CCH to pick up. No excuse, they need to get after it or sit down.

Just tootin' my own horn... The following is what I posted right after the Mason County game just before CovCath played Dixie and Boone:

 

Baker had instant success and fame in the early part of the season displaying what he is capable of with very little varsity experience. Even though we haven't seen much of that magic of late I have to believe that there's still an undercurrent of learning that is taking place with him. My gut is telling me that this growing experience is going to pay off especially in the post season when his survivor instincts kick in. Maybe I'm dreamin' but I'm expecting to see him go off and show us again that magic which will fuel the whole team to click on all cylinders. Lately CovCath has been distant from the conversation of being a 9th Region power, but I still think there's a chance for them to make a late season run. When thinking about Baker I can't help but remember about 5 years ago when Danny Noll came out of nowhere and put the Colonels on his back to win Region. This year there's way to many strong teams in the 9th to go as far as making any bold statements that I think CovCath with be top dog at the end, but I believe that all the elements are there and if they can stir them all together and keep the consistency, their hat in the ring can be just as valid as any team in the 9th.

 

I'm thrilled that he proved me right without delay and excited to see Cov Cath right back there in the mix.

Any update yet on Boone's Montgomery?

 

I will be speaking to the family today and will provide an update...... I know he was extremely upset, and rightfully so, that evening. I know he and the family appreciate the kind words written about him on BGP's! He is a very good kid with a bright future on and/or off the court.

 

Tomorrow night in Florence is Senior night, so I am sure he is looking forward to that.
