  1. Not exactly accurate.

    Only 8 teams advance to the State Tournament. The 9th/10 Region Champs will have to play a "Sectional" at NKU on either Monday or Tuesday night before either have to worry about Dunbar.

     

    Is this correct? According to the KHSAA website - the 10th Region plays the 11th Region at 10th Region and 9th Region plays 12th Region at 12th Region - both on October 28th.

  2. NCC beats Highlands 2-1 at Highlands in the district final game. NCC's Matt Tolle scored the first goal of the game from an assist from Gault Nolan. Highlands scored in the middle of the second half - not sure who scored. Connor Hanneken scored winning goal for NCC on an assist from Tolle. Tippenhauer made a couple impressive saves in goal in the second half for Highlands.

     

    Congrats to NCC for 3rd consecutive district title. Good luck to both teams in the Region.

  3. NCC didn't play as well as they have the last few games - weren't winning the ball, passing as well, didn't maintain their intensity and there were several defensive breakdowns. They had a few chances in the beginning of the game where the keeper was beat, but couldn't capitalize because Cov Cath's defense cleared the ball or the shot was no good. I'm not even sure how Cov Cath scored two of their goals so easily in the second half and then they actually broke down some and let NCC come back and score twice at the very end of the game.

     

    I personally do not think this game was that rough compared to some of the games I have seen this year. I don't think the flow of the game was interrupted that much due to fouls. The NCC vs Boone Co and NCC vs Highlands games were a different story. The flow of the game was killed in both of those game due to the large amounts of fouls that were called, in my opinion some of them should have just been ignored (on both sides). The Boone Co. game was a very rough game and it seemed like every minor thing was called but some blatant fouls were ignored and the game got a little out of control for awhile.

  4. NCC beats Boone Co. this afternoon at Boone. NCC scores an early first half goal by Connor Hanneken. Boone Co. awarded a penalty kick due to a handball in the box and they score (didn't hear the player's name). Boone's keeper (Espinoza) made several excellent saves in the first half. NCC scores in the second half on a header by Jacob Hensley on a long throw in from John Murrin.

     

    Boone rallied in the end of the half but NCC played great defense and keeper Paul Grosser made some excellent stops.

  5. Does anyone have a girls schedule, or do the girls not participate in soccerama?

  6. This isn't a public v private debate. It's about NCC having a "playbook" on how to get around the feeder school rules, and families being disingenious when joining a parish. There is a defined feeder school pattern - follow it. If you know your kid is going to NCC, they should attend an NCC feeder school. Allowing familes to become members of only 1 parish would end most of this. Go add up the players on NCC's sports teams that didn't go to a feeder school to see why they don't want it stopped. The latest ACT averages from the Diocese last fall had BBHS way ahead of NCC.

     

     

    There are a lot of kids that go to NCC from St. Joe's in Cold Spring. Believe it or not, there are actually kids that decide to go to NCC in the 7th or 8th grade and have no affiliation with NCC. Do you really think their parents need to withrdrawal them from St. Joe's and send them to an NCC feeder school? There are many kids from St. Joe's that never play on an NCC team while they are in grade school.

     

    Even the families that think their kids will probably eventually go to NCC may have chosen to live in "southern" Campbell County because they wanted to live in a newer subdivision or build a new house - these options are very limited in the area of NCC's feeder schools. They send their kids to St. Joes' or St. Mary's because of proximity and maybe the benefit of bus service. There are no "rules" that you cannot attend a high school outside of your feeder high school. If NCC lost all of the Wilder, Highland Heights, Cold Spring, Alexandria, etc. kids they would be hurting - the diocese would not allow this. Even if some sort of additional fee was imposed on families whose kids enrolled outside of their "district" high school, I don't think it would change anything.

     

    This isn't just a sports issue, Brossart has an problem with all these kids going to NCC anyway. I just don't understand why anyone would even care that a 13 or 14 year old who will never attend their high school is playing on a Freshman team at NCC. I think some people need to worry more about why they can't attract more kids to their high school.

     

    And not every single kid that goes to NCC has some relative or allegiance to NCC, they decide to attend NCC because they feel NCC is a better school or better fit for them than Brossart.

  7. What a year for Newcath sports... Football brings home state title, Boys and girls basketball teams advance to region finals with the girls bringing the title home, and now the baseball team is in the region championship.

     

    Congrats Breds.

     

    And the boys and girls basketball teams both won the All-A region and played in the All-A state tournament. Also, the boys soccer team made it to the All-A state tournament. The NCC JV baseball team won the Junior Varsity Championship this year too.

     

    GO BREDS!!!

  8. St. Henry defeated NCC 8-7 yesterday, so I doubt that this is a true reflection of their talent/abilities.

     

    Did St. Henry really play NCC on Thursday? According to the KHSAA scoreboard the following are the other two games St. Henry has played this year and they have NCC's first game as next week.

     

    Mar 21, 11 Campbell County away 9 - 8 (W)

    Mar 24, 11 Bourbon County away 1 - 8 (L)

  9. This seems to run more in the girls sports as far as coaching issues (thinking girls basketball, volleyball, and now soccer)................Is this true or I am just seeing a coincidence?????????

     

    Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I know that there is always complaining, etc. amoungst the parents in some boys sports there also but maybe they have learned to keep their mouths shut; Or they don't go running to the AD everytime something happens they don't like or maybe they are just ignored by the AD.

  10. Heard Celtics were blown out by the Rockets. Did also hear a couple of the Rocket players are from Kenton County. The Rechtin boy and Plummer go to IHM and are headed to St. Henry. Another is from Pius probably going to Cov Cath.

     

    The Campbell county kids on the Rockets are Alex Trentman (St. Mary's), Eric Rieger, Nick Johnson, Jake Schulte, Conner Hanneken and Evan Sepate (all from St. Joe's Cold Spring).

     

    Grant Schreiver is the St. Pius player.

  11. I would say Campbell County instead of Brossart. Should be a great game though. Who is the higher seed, GRC or Montgomery County?

     

    Brossart will have to play their 'A' game to get past Campbell County. Brossart has had inconsistent hitting and pitching problems this year. You never know with these big rivalry games what may happen though.

  12. Congrats to Cooper. I heard they played great defense and Brossart wasn't able to hit the ball out of the infield. On the other hand, Cooper took advantage of a very windy day and kept Brossart's outfielders busy trying to catch hard hit balls that were sailing everywhere.

  13. By far the toughest grade school tourney as far as crowd, noise etc. is the St. Joseph Bluejay classic. they have a nice sized grade school gym that they pack every night.

     

     

    The St. Joseph Bluejay Classic is the longest running grade school tournament in the area - 49 years. It runs for four or five weekends and has great competition. It is a high school game like atmosphere with theme nights, blarring music, free give-aways, cheerleaders and the stands are always packed. It gets very, very loud.
