Every school does not have the same SBDM extra-curricular participation policy. Academics were never mentioned during the conversation. I was informed that the decision was made because of reasons outside of this young mans control. Most importantly, he is a great person and I wish him the best of luck and many future successes. If he remains in the Covington School District, Coach Henley has another outstanding young man and athlete to look forward to coaching. At this rate, Holmes will continue to be a top contender for several years to come w/the talent that is waiting in the wings.

Rumor is a Summit View Middle School player enrolled at Two Rivers and will be playing for the Titans. If that is the case, this addition will improve the Titans. The team continues to struggle from the line. They are very aggressive and that continues to impact their play from a negative stand point. They continue to play the playground style of basketball/hang on jersey style which isn't effective when you play the other disciplined teams in the league. Dupont shot the lights out in the first game against the Titans.

The TRMS Titans beat the CC Purples this past weekend in the NKMSBL. This team has a lot of talented kids and the coaches play all 20 each game. It will be very interesting to see what kind of run the 7th grade team makes. They are looking forward to playing the BIRDS at Holmes. It is amazing how the officiating crew is hired for the HMS home games. The crew becomes more pathetic each year. The more NKMSBL Games I attend, the more one hears about how the refs took over the game and did not allow the kids to play, let alone call the game evenly.

It is evident the DAWGS are a TEAM after this tough victory tonight. Mental toughness is what the team has lacked over the past few years. This team was down by 11 at one point and never quit, argued, or pointed fingers. Coach Henley and staff have really instilled in the players what defense is all about. Great victory for Holmes.

His children work in the education field in NKY. Son is a principal and the daughter coaches girls varsity basketball in Newport. Dad and children are class acts!

Holmes is very athletic! This is a great group of young men that play hard and play together the entire game. I have seen them play at least 5 games this year. They are very TEAM oriented and defensive minded. That is a huge change from the teams that have gone to Lexington the past 2 years for the Sweet 16. Arrez Henderson is the real deal. Defensively, I would put him at the top of the class in the state. He is 5'11 and can play with the best regardless of height.
