Great, great game. During regulation I thought CovCath had it for sure. Their offense was clicking, making it look easy to get the shots they wanted. At the same time it looked like Owensboro didn't get many easy baskets. in the overtime things changed and covcath seemed a little out of sorts. Not sure if maybe they got tired? That said, what a well coached and disciplined team covcath is. They flat don't make many mistakes. You have to play well to beat them. And Owensboro played well. Congrats to them and good luck.

"The Dancing Kid" from the Sweet 16
Doppler Don replied to Doppler Don's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I'm a "Twit-iot" - I can't find the video. I only saw a pic. What am I doing wrong!! -
Sorry for the double response, but everything you mention above is repudiated in "A Conspiracy of One"

I have read quite a few books on both sides of the argument. A shorter and very good book that lays out the facts (in convincing fashion) that Oswald acted alone is a book called "A Conspiracy of One". I would make sure to read this along with the others.

Unfortunately I hit a reading lull when I started this book. Read the first chapter and have not gotten back into it yet. Hoping to get momentum next week.

There have been some great basketball moments, and I am sure more to come on Saturday and Sunday. But the "The Dancing Kid" from Friday was absolutely awesome. I was so caught up in the 5-star performance that I failed to take a video. Did anyone else capture the moment? If so, can you share? Loving every second of the Sweet 16 again this year!!!

Bowling Green/Boyle County predictions

Hoping for Boyle but think Bowling Green will win a close one. -
Owensboro/Covington Catholic predictions
Doppler Don replied to JokersWild24's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I don't see anyone bearing Owensboro. How does anyone defend a bull and a pogo stick? @colonel-fan - loved it!!! -
I agree Owensboro is the favorite. If they play well I don't see anyone beating them. I also feel the same as you do about CovCath, but thought the same with every game they played last year - so I can't count them out. It's a toss-up for me in regards to my second. I was really impressed with Boyle and like them as a team. They are fun to watch and I am pulling for them as my emotional favorite at this point. But I think Bowling Green is right there with them from a "chance to win" perspective. In really enjoyed all of the games today. Also loved the dancing kid. He's destined to be a mega-star!!!!!

Crowd size for 1st day of State Tournament?
Doppler Don replied to All In's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I don't pay much attention to these things, but I thought attendance looked pretty good for first round games, especially the early session. -
Purcell Marian Forced Out Of Ohio Tourney
Doppler Don replied to Clyde's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
.....and why does this come to light now? Seems like if there is any question of a player's eligibility it should be brought to light before now. What is the process in Ohio and ky? Is it completely up to the schools to determine eligibility on their own, or when a transfer arrives can you request that the organizing body perform due diligence and give the "all clear" before you play he kid and subject your team to this horrible fate? -

I read that. What a shame for the kids. -
Campbell County was just a different team last night than the one I saw in the 10th region tournament. I would agree they did not have the same "fire". I am not sure what the difference was, but they lacked the incredible intensity that they have had in the last 4 or 5 games. Their defensive intensity, which in my opinion was what made them tick in the post season (both offensively and defensively) was not in full force. Although zone defense was the RIGHT defensive scheme against CovCath, I wonder if they would have been better to play their aggressive man-to-man? This is what seemed to give them life at the end of the season and helped them to make a strong run. Not second guessing the coaching staff. I am by no means a scholar or even a student of the game. Just a casual fan's observations. And I am a "dance with the one that brought ya" kinda guy. I do not question the team's heart. I would think all of the teams that have made it this far have not done it on talent alone. My guess is that every team that makes it this far has a great deal of heart. But in the end they are just a bunch of young kids that have great games, and not so great games. Campbell had a not so great game on many fronts. Hats off to CovCath for playing a great game.
