Wow. Sounds like it was a great game. Hopefully this isn't the first and last time these two programs meet on the court.

 

Well done Cardinals! This was a BIG confidence boost for Colerain.

The positive for CCH is that this is the game we've been waiting on and knowing that Nick Fredrick can play. He was aggressive with the dribble. He didn't stand around the arc waiting to shoot 3s. That will go a long way. Plus Ryan Hayden played strong and finished 5/5. Hate to lose but there are positives.

I'll bet there are a couple happy Listermans tonight...

Tuff week for CovCath, but the competition will only make them better.

No easier this week. Scott County on Thursday.

Hayden played less than half the game and had 10 points, including a buzzer beater to put the game in OT and he scored the only points they had in OT. First significant playing time in 6-7 games coming back from injury. Good to see him back out there.
