Cov Cath golf runs away with another regional title by blowing away the field with a 300

Cov Cath had a very good day posting a very impressive 300 in tough conditions. Looking at the scores posted below, I don't think "blowing away the field" is accurate. Both Cov Cath and Ryle posted all 5 players between 74 - 81, making for a very competative regional championship as usual. Good luck to both teams at the state tournament next week in Bowling Green.

Not goin to argue about the technical. Looked and sounded pretty obvious from my viewpoint. St H got the makeup calls for it and also one when Gamm 10 floored the Abner girl later in the game. Good no technical and ejection on that one as well. Just sayn........

WOW, can't even believe you would compare the two calls. An elbow to the face on a fast break resulting in an out of bounds compared to an offensive foul where the offensive player is being held then pushes her way loose from the defender resulting in a offensive foul and 4th foul on a key player for SH (typical 2nd infraction being whistled). Ref's were terrible both ways, agreed, but don't see the comparison you made. Just sayn....

That was pretty unbelieveable. IMO, it should of been a technical and ejection.

You must be referring to the play when St Henry was on a fast break 2 on 1, Gamm heading to basket when I think #2 (Abner) throws elbow to the face of Anne Fugate off ball. Ref was right on top of the play, calls a foul, not a TECHNICAL and awards St Henry the ball out of bounds. From where I was sitting, and had a pretty good view, looked to be intentional and quite possibly an ejection from the game.

Taking absolutely nothing away from St. Henry tonight but they did not get anything close to Ryle's best game. They were due for an off night, I'm just glad they came away with the win.

The same could be said for St. Henry, it was certainly not their best performance by any stretch. St Henry's team is made up primarily of multiple sport athletes, many of whom don't touch a basketball in the off season. They will continue to improve and gain confidence as the season progresses and could certainly pull an upset come Regional time. Although this game was a non-district and pretty meaningless game, I think the Lady Cru came away feeling more confident in their ability to compete with the top ranked teams in the 9th region.

It was a great game. Congratulations to NCC. They are a strong and powerful team. My Daddy always said, "Defense wins games." NCC had some unrelentless defense. I wish them the best for the remainder of the All "A".

 

But WOW! Those St Henry girls made me so proud! Each individual player had an amazing intensity that was refreshing to see. They really poured on the heat to get that lead. Game changing moment IMO was when Taylor Gamm quicky picked up her 3rd and 4th foul with in a 10 second time frame. That just zapped the wind out their sails. Still do not know how the third one was a foul, when she was passing the ball with both hands?

 

Looking forward to enjoying this incredibly athletic group play out the rest of their season. Go Lady Cru!

No doubt in my mind that the turning point was the foul called on St Henry with about the 3 min remaining in the game. St Henry was leading 37 - 33 and had NCC back on their heels. Gamm drove the lane, made a great decision to pass the ball to an open O'Daniel making a layup while getting hammered by the NCC defense. St Henry crowd and players go crazy thinking they have extended the lead to 6 and maybe 7 pts. As players headed to "line-up" for the free throw, referee calls Gamm for a charge on what appeared from the stands as little to no contact and a great offensive play. Then within 10 seconds, Gamm gets calls for another foul (her 4th) which effectively took her out of the game defensively. This Offensive foul was 1 of 4 questionable Offensive Charging calls that went against the Cru. No sour grapes, just was not impressed with the officiating last night. Congratulations to NCC on a hard fought victory, I will be rooting for them to bring home the State Title !!

Did LCA play in the Steve Flesch Invitation this past Saturday at Boone Links in Florence ? In Know that St. X won the tournament by a 10+ stroke margin, and Blake Hamilton of Ryle High School took Medal honors with a nice round of 70 (-2) for the day. The previous weekend, Blake won medal honors playing in the Madison Central Tournament played at The Bull in Richmond, Ky, posting an even par round. In regards to your top 10 players, I think he should be included.

Great win for Boone.

Great win for Boone. Perhaps a little new earned respect for Northern Ky Girls Basketball and for the 9th Region ? :popcorn:

Game BC 48 BG 44

Great "play by play"; perhaps a little new earned respect for Northern Ky Girls Basketball and for the 9th Region ? :clap:

Coach Coburn does an outstanding job. I would take his opinion, seeing the girls in practice and games everyday, over the casual fan. I am sure he will have a great game plan and have his girls ready to play. Ryle has the advantage in talent, but I give the coaching edge to St Henry. Should be a good game.

I respect Coburn and agree that he has done a great job with Lady Cru program. Just my personal opinion (i thought that's what the site was for) that St. Henry has on occasion, gone to the bench to early and to often. There are several girls on the bench that are key players and must contribute in order for St. Henry to be competitive. Just don't believe that St. Henry goes 10 or 11 deep without impacting the outcome of the game. Good luck to the Lady Cru tonight, play good D and bring home a victory. :dancingpa

So if I'm reading you correctly you're saying there was no talent on the bench to develop.

Never said there was "no talent", just not the same level of talent as the starting five. Rye, in my opinion, is the only team in the 9th region that can go to the bench for 2 or 3 players without changing the level of play.

You're discounting the fact that as a coach you have the entire regular season to build your bench so that you do not have to rely on 5 players. So one of two things happened last night: They either didn't get the chance to develop in meaningful spots during the season (ie other than blowouts) or Coach Dawn simply rolled the dice and came up short.

Sometimes you're dealt the cards and you just have to play with them, don't think any dice were involved here. :thumb:

Why?

NCC played their best players and those that the coach felt gave them the best opportunity to win the game. As I posted earlier "when Fryer fouled out and NCC went to the bench, the momentum totally changed in favor of Ryle" and "that's my opinion and apparently NCC coach as well" .

It's my unbiased opinion that had NCC gone to the bench earlier in the game, based upon what happened in the last 4 minutes, NCC would NOT have been in position the win the game in the final minutes.

Enough said. :walk:

Couldn't it also be argued that NCC's lack of PT for their bench hurt them last night?

Had NCC gone to the bench earlier, the game would not have come down to the final 4 minutes, that's my opinion and apparently NCC coach as well. Regarding the St. Henry game, my point is that taking Janszen or Gamm off the floor for any period of time could spell disaster. St. Henry does have roll players, but in my opinion have no chance unless the Janszen & Gamm remain on the floor and have BIG games, they also need to get some 3's from sharp shooting O'Daniel.

st.henry is a very athletic bunch. Janzen girl is a great athlete. also very deep team i noticed that they had 11 girls score last night. should make for a better game than people think.

Unfortunately, I think sometimes the coaching staff at St. Henry believes they have depth, going to the bench and allowing games to get away or allowing teams to get back into games that were once under control. :idunno:

I hope St. Henry can stay out of foul trouble and keep starters on the floor for the majority of the game. St. Henry could learn a lesson from the top teams in the region that keep their starters on floor the entire game unless in foul trouble. Last nights game was a perfect example, when Fryer fouled out and NCC went to the bench, the momentum totally changed in favor of Ryle. Good luck Lady Cru !!!!

l.The best player on the floor all night long and that includes the Ryle vs. NCC game was Holy Cross Freshmen Beal. WOW what a player!

 

Congrats to the Crew!

Respectfully disagree with you. The game is about more than knocking down NBA range three's, the offensive end is only half the game. Stayed for both games and watched great efforts from many young ladies. Beal is a good player, no argument there, can't agree that "The best player on the floor all night long and that includes the Ryle vs. NCC game was Holy Cross Freshmen Beal." Great players find a way to bring out the best in their teammates and win games.

Senior night too! Yes, Pics to come.

Was a bit surprised not to see the seniors start the game for Notre Dame? Did each of the seniors see some minutes during the game? I would have understood going with "normal" starting rotation had this had been a District game, but think most schools honor the Seniors by starting the game with Seniors on the floor.

Thanks for pic's Panda, they are always appreciated!

Wow, I didn't know it was four of six. You think some teams are glad they got moved out of the 33rd?

You must be referring to St. Henry moving to the 34th District last year and yes, I'm certain the school admin, coaches, and the Crusader fans welcomed the change. St. Henry did pull the upset in 2006 by beating favorite Boone County for the District Championship! Hard for any "small school" to compete year in and out with the likes of Boone, Ryle, and Conner. It will be interesting to see if Cooper can close the gap in the upcoming years.

Being as close to the program as I am it just gets old hearing the same stuff just a different day...and the jabs after jabs after jabs...good golly!

 

I actually had a person tell me on Sunday "I've watched Nell for years and I cannot believe she stooped so low and let Moss on her team'...I couldn't even dignify that comment with a response.

 

Oh well, I guess after all these years old Nell has softened up a bit...nothing wrong with that...the kids are still responding.

I can assure you that there are many programs around the state that would love to have Nell on their bench. She runs a great program and seems to get the most out of her players. I have tremendous respect for her as a coach and a person. :thumb:

You people need to stop living on ALL A [ Witch is a joke] and get in the real world......

Geez, what an ATTITUDE. Perhaps you should read a book by the title "How to Win Friends & Influence People" (Paperback). Why don't you go back to your "real world" and don't let the broom handle hit you in the a__ on the way out. :walk:

Sounds like SH either needs to stop hacking or work on free throw shooting...or perhaps both.

You obviously didn't pay much attention to the hint of sarcasm in my post

Seriously though, St. Henry needs to improve at the line if they hope to compete in the Regional Tournament.

Boone County shot 16-21 (76.2%) from the free throw line which is very good................HOWEVER they started the game making just ONE of their first EIGHTEEN shots from the floor. That is horrible and how they led, even by two, at the half with that start is amazing.

Moss sat out a bunch, some from foul trouble and some from those "teachable moment(s)" you mentioned! She played but a total of 17 minutes in the game so I'd say that had a lot to do with her totals for the game.

you actually know the number of minutes each player is in the game ? do you keep track of minutes and seconds ? :confused:

St. Henry (16-7) - Janszen 5 2 12, O'Daniel 3 1 8, Hoff 3 1 7, McArtor 2 0 5, Knaley 2 0 5, Gamm 2 0 4. Totals 17 4 41.

 

Boone County (19-3) - Shrout 4 5 15, Browning 4 2 12, Moss 5 0 10, Sellers 1 4 7, Nash 2 2 6, Davis 2 0 4, Sandlin 0 3 3. Totals 18 16 57.

 

St. Henry 5 12 9 15 - 41

Boone County 4 15 13 25 - 57

 

3-pointers: S 3 (O'Daniel, McArtor). B 5 (Shrout 2, Browning 2, Sellers).

 

 

A 16 point win is pretty solid. Must have been an ugly first quarter for both teams.

St Henry opened the game making 2 of 10 from the line (ugh) and it didn't get much better from there. Don't let the final margin fool you, the game was much closer than the final score. Boone did an excellant job from the line, don't have stats but would guess they shot 80-90% on the night.

Not taking anything away from Janszen at all, I don't think that she had a lot to do with Moss only scoring 10 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. IMO Janszen is an amazing athlete and I don't want this to be taken the wrong way. Moss had many chances to score, just couldn't find the net. There was one possession when she had atleast 4 rebounds right under the basket but still couldn't manage to score. Just a bad game, thats all. Every player has more then one. Moss has had double doubles for more then half the games, truth is that if these were numbers for an average player, it would be a solid game for them. If you read the article in the enquire, Fookes made it clear that Moss is only human and cannot score 30 points every game with 4 or 5 people hanging on her. I agree, and I applaud Coach Fookes on saying that.

 

As to the game, it was a very close one and St. Henry worked very hard to stay with the Rebels most of the way, great job and effort by every one of them. It was a great game and the Rebels pulled out another victory.

Didn't see "4 or 5 people hanging on her", just good old fashioned "man to man" defense. Don't know how you can say "don't think that she had a lot to do with Moss only scoring 10 points and grabbing 7 rebounds". Agree that Moss didn't have one of her better games, and her early foul trouble certainly contributed to her lack of production. Bottom line was Janszen did what most teams have been unable to do with double and triple teams on her. Moss is a great player with unlimited potential, just think Janszen get's over looked in the 9th region.

Boone County 57 St Henry 41

Interesting match-up last night with Boone County playing St Henry at Boone. The game featured 2 of the best post players in the 9th region with Moss (Boone/Soph.) and Janszen (St. Henry/Junior). It looked to me as though Moss was flustered on both ends of the floor, not used to seeing someone with the size, quickness, and athleticism of Janszen. St. Henry gave Boone all they could handle for 3 and 1/2 quarters, St Henry trailing by 6 points with less than 3 minutes in the game. Final score did not indicate the competitiveness of the game, thanks in big part to Janszen holding Moss to 10 points & 7 rebounds. Janszen finished with 12 points & 7 rebounds. If St Henry plays to their potential, they could surprise someone come tournament time.
