  1. Congrats to WJ. Having to beat Boyle Co. then come back and go on the road to beat an excellent NDA team. They look to be peaking at the right time. Goes from the frying pan into the fire with the next game against the #1 team in the state in Sacred Heart. Brutal path to get to the final four, while other teams don't have to beat a top 50 team in the state to get the final four.
  2. I played at the NAIA level so got some money for football, but paid less than half of the amount of the total tuition.
  3. The first year at college for a freshman playing any sport, especially football, is not very fun. You go from being the big dog in high school, to some scout teamer that is getting the snot knocked out of them on a daily basis. Some can stick it out, some say enough is enough and decide it is not for them. Not knocking either decision. I played football in college and played all the way through, but many times had thoughts about hanging it up before I graduated.
  4. There have been many good points to this thread about playing at the next level. I would say many small schools use this to boost enrollment, and some players simply do not have the talent to play at the college level. They may have been the star on their high school team, but that does not mean they can play in college. Also, the demand on time is huge and the physical demand cannot be understated. If a player sees the writing on the wall they will not get any playing time, and most small schools are much more expensive than a larger state school, it leads to a very high turnover rate.
  5. The have lost 4 games this year, so I think they have been test at some point. Last year Etown was supposed to walk through the tourney and bring home the gold, but got knocked out in the elite 8 by Holy Cross. We will see. That's why they play the game.
  6. The bottom line last night is that Ncc had help scoring besides Weyer, (who was in beast mode). Cov Cath, besides CVH just couldn't make a shot. I have seen Polar votexs warmer than the rest of CCH offensively, outside of CVH that was keeping them in the game in the second half. I was surprised at the end of the game that CCH didn't put the ball in CVH hands every time to try in score. Possibly he was running on fumes at that point, don't know, but he played a heck of a game. As far as the block total on Weyer, it was posted he had 7. The only thing I can think of is they quit counting after 7. I didn't count them, but it sure seemed more like 10 or better. He was serving out more stuffing than grandma at Thanksgiving. Good luck to the Bred's at Rupp, and bring the gold back to the 9th region!
  7. Ryle is playing very good right now. Holmes is as well. However, Ryle has the size and depth to win the region. Holmes only plays about 6 players. Ryle pulls it out in the end to win the region.
  8. Congrats Trimble County, continue to shock the state. Way to go!!!!
  9. Before the draw I though Highlands would have a good chance to cut down the nets. However, with who they have to play, HC, probably Ryle, then probably Holmes, a very tough row to hoe. The Birds lost to all three of these teams earlier in the season, but they are playing with a lot of confidence now. Also, how last year ended for them in the region, I think they have been waiting a long time to get back.
  10. The Mustangs had an unblemished record in the Sy dome this year. Don't think it was the stripes that decided the game. It was the Stangs protecting home turf.
  11. I would says at this point Holmes is still the top "Dawg" in the 9th region, but Ryle is close. Highlands looks like they have righted the ship and do not be surprised if they content for the regional title. They have a lot of talent on that team and most of it Seniors. Also the winner of HC and ND to get to the region can make some noise.
  12. Very nice win by Franklin Co. It's why they play them game.
  13. Be careful about that. Remember last year the same thing was being said about Etown bringing home the gold, and Holy Cross ended up taking home the hardware. That's why they play the game.
  14. Was surprised at ND's offensive plan or lack there of, was the 15 pass minimum before a shot on purpose, or just rust for the long lay off. It is difficult in high school basketball to pass the ball around for an extended amount of time without turning it over, and you lose big mo. Once Ncc got the lead, ND looked like they rushed things offensively and never got into a flow. Bottom line, Ncc continues to improve and gets ready for the All A tourney starting Wednesday. As for the Panda's, chalk it up as a bad night, burn the film and move on.
