Congrats to GRC! Way to represent the 10th Region!

I was one of the so-called 'experts' who picked GRC to beat Oldham badly and got bashed for it. Looks like my 'expert' prediction wasn't too far off though... even though I (nor likely anyone else on this site had seen all sixteen teams play enough to live up to someone else's standards of quality).

Great win I wish Humphrey still coached for Simon Kenton.

First Congrats to Oldham Co for having a great season and winning the 8th region. To be in the Sweet 16 is a goal hard to reach, be very proud.

 

GRC did not have their "A" game today. Not a good first quarter for the Cards, give credit to Oldham for that. Second quarter they settled down and held Oldham to only 2 point in the second quarter. Glad Cory Rogers played well, got player of the game...all on his birthday today.He was a beast inside today and Oldham had no answer for him. He had 26 points, Bopper Stenzel, didn't score, but had six assists and three steals, with only one turnover. Bopper know his role and plays it so well.

 

Daniels did not have his regular game, he will need to step up the next game. Though that Charlie Rogers , Purvis and Martin all did well off the bench today. Good to see all of the Cardinal players get to play in the state tourney today.

 

Glad to meet ColonelMike today. Also so glad to finally meet stepscalled. We have been friends for over 2 years and finally got to meet in person today. So glad to see and talk with my friend Bubba Wilson. Hope you enjoyed watching my Cards today. Had a great time going out to eat after the game with Westsider. Always glad to see you and talk b-ball.

 

Hope to see/meet more BGPer's before the tourney is over.

Corey Rogers will never forget his 18th birthday.

Bopper Stenzel, a 6-foot junior and the lone non-senior among Clark's top six, didn't score, but had six assists and three steals, with only one turnover.

 

 

While the Cards shot 23-for-47 (48.9 percent) from the field, they held Oldham to 14-for-46 (30.4 percent). In the first half, the Colonels shot 5-for-23 (21.7).Tyler Wesely, a 6-4 junior, led the Colonels with 11 points and eight rebounds.

What a great of fans from Oldham Co. Met some great folks, and it was a pleasure watching the game with them. Congrats to Oldham for winning the 8th and having a great year.

 

Good win for GRC. Lot's of bright spots as some of the nervousness of playing in Rupp showed. Corey Rogers was just amazing today. (happy Birthday to him). Lots of other great plays and bench support for the Cards!

You did pick us to win big.:thumb: Glad you were right and always respect your input. Look forward to your predictions in the GRC/Eastern thread.

 

Also look forward to ColonelMike's take on this game.
