I'm guessing Campbell could learn to live with a bunch of 55-29 wins??

Congrats to Clark--A quality 10th region win!!

A little surprised at the margin, I thought Conner was a little stronger than that; or is CCH just better than some thought?? Congrats to the Colonels on a quality win--I think they are the 9th region favorite right now.

Good win for the Camels--Looks like they are continuing their roll in the early season!! Looks like the Campbell faithful like that defense they weren't so sure about in the past??

I'd consider this a big surprise, as I would have thought PC would be a decided favorite, especially at home?? They basically lost Kane and BB lost everything to graduation. Surprising margin of victory in particular. Young Mustangs must have learned something over the weekend?? Congrats to them for getting back on the winning track!!

When does Jordan come back--He should certainly help?

Granted this year they obviously knew they would be rebuilding and lightened the schedule a little (no 5/3rd, no AIT, no BG/Buckeye, etc.) but still kept heavyweights such as CCH, Highlands, etc. It appears to me by heading to the Leota Massey at Deming they are concentrating on the "A" as the regional is there as well?? Regarding the earlier post about Mason, they are light years ahead of anyone else in the 10th this year; and shouldn't be challenged in the region. I know anything can happen, but it would take a monumental upset, or heaven forbid a rash of injuries for them not to win the 10th.

:thumb::thumb:

I liked what I saw from their freshman team as well, but you're right they should have a good upside. They need to buy into the coach's system and continue to play unselfeshly and they'll be fine!!

Since you've chosen me to :argue: with, I guess I better respond?? I too know many fans on both sides, as well as with other district rivals of both teams. None, again none of them expected Brossart to win the game, and most doubted they could keep it under double digits--They just lost too much and return too little experience!! The prediction thread had zero folks pick the Mustangs, and most thought it would be a game in the mid to high teens. I went simply because it's a great atmosphere and a fun game which approximates a district/regional tourney game. How could anyone argue that the Camels "got lucky"? They had the game in hand from start to finish as expected. Every BB fan I talked to conceded that the Camels were the better team this year, and deserved to win. They (and I) expect them to be back in the next couple years, and I would suspect Campbell to improve as well. You just can't give Scott Code 800 boys to chose from and not expect long term success?? The only thing I would really :argue: with you about is your comment regarding Brossart's easy schedule?? My friend you've just shown complete lack of understanding of basketball and the history of NKY hoops with that statement. The last ten years I'd argue no single A team in the area, and few in the state, have played the caliber of opponents that the Mustangs have played. The 10th region opponents alone in recent years would qualify your statement as ridiculous?? Mason County, Clark County, Pendleton County, Covington Catholic, Lexington Catholic, NCC, Holy Cross, the Fifth Third Classic, Ashland Invitational, Bluegrass/Buckeye, etc. year in, year out. If I had time I'd go back and probably prove they've played far tougher schedules than Campbell. Again hats off to Campbell for breaking a streak that obviously had bothered them significantly, but let's keep it in perspective--They beat a small local school in a total rebuilding mode--Nothing more, nothing less?? :confused:

From NKY is what he said though?

Athletically they may be close, but basketball-wise, attitude-wise they're in different leagues!! Darius makes everyone around him better and seems to actually enjoy playing defense; while Hopson's idea of "D" is to try for a spectacular block and then turn & run down for a breakaway.

Ryle's gym is much newer, but I think "nicer" is a subjective comment? Capacity of Ryle is 3000, while the Fieldhouse is "listed" at 5400, but has routinely seen a lot more come 10th region tourney time.

Ft. Campbell at least played a couple larger schools, but don't think they are ready for NCC. Lone Oak's schedule is a joke for a 4-A school (not one 5 or 6 A school, and several smaller ones) when compared to LexCath's--Didn't even try to test themselves vs. better/larger competition?? Lex-NKY-Lou will go 6-0!!

Must be some method to that madness of playing larger and tougher schools in the regular season? Sacrifice your record for a state championship--Congrats to Central on peaking at the right time!! Should have seen this one coming late in the season with a respecable loss to X and the close loss to Highlands!!

Agree Tiger, but this one still shocks me!! Doubt Coach Carr is too pleased?? Is Mason up next at the Big House??

No horse in this race, but is this really necessary?? Your team won, apparently for the first time in quite a while; but this type of talk won't endear your team to the NKY fans, if you truely are back?? Win with class--Lose with class!! I guarentee Scott Code wouldn't be proud of this type of "support" from his fans??

Might be something you want to do BEFORE you decide to take a new job and relocate your family ???????

What was the streak?

NO!!

Congrats to Campbell on breaking the Mustangs win streak tonight. Great atmosphere for a HS hoops' game with both sides hoppin'!! Too much offense from Campbell for the "O" challenged Mustangs to overcome, and credit to the Camels' "D" effort as well. As expected Scott Code has reintroduced Campbell to the defensive end of the court, and they seem to feed off of that effort on the other end as well. Nerl and Albreicht as advertised, and Nerl in particular seems to have matured greatly as an athlete. Both Franzens had very good games also. Best of luck to both squads the rest of the way!!

Unbelieveable game!! Congrats to the Beechwood Tigers on #10 and hats off to LCA on a heckova effort!! I was another that thought LCA would hang around for a half and BW would wear them down in the 2nd? I can't believe how young LCA is at the key skill positions, they'll be tough the next several years. Easy to say now, but I would have tied the game on 4th down, as BW wasn't playing that well on offense late in the game, and LCA was on fire.

Mueller's not what I'd consider old?

While you know which team is theirs, they aren't quite that biased.

I was starting to question if I was listening to a LCA internet broadcast, although having listened to a lot of those here in NKY; none of those up here are that biased?? One more "D-TRAIN".....................................and I think I might have lost my lunch???? Also agree about the comments about the Beechwood school, their weight room, etc. insinuating they had an unnatural advantage of some sort!! Really weak and quite disappointing for so-called professional announcers!!
