Where did Slaughter end up going to college?

Indeed it does, thanks CC.

Hope no one tells NCC this is the year of the Crusaders.........I predict this will be yet another state title for them. Having said that good luck to both teams.

Can someone tell me what the format of this tourny is?

After the weather fiasco at Beechwood Friday they will be very careful with the playing of this game. (heard students and players were in minor traffic accidents)

OK, ......what former player now reffing was the best player?

CCH defense will be the difference in this game. If Holmes is allowed to run they have a great shot but I think CCH comes out on top.

Even though it wasn't really close it was a fun game to watch. Both teams layed it on the court.

Darn accountants are always right!

Just goes to show you how well Highlands played in CCH's previous game. Beechwood played hard but just didn't have enough to stay with the colonels.

Great crowd this evening!

Cov Cath by 20. No way this game has the electricity the Highlands game had.

I suspect School would have liability for injuries. Wonder how many students will show up. I got halfway there last night and had to retreat due to the icy roads.

Is this going to be a varsity only night?

The road conditions were and are as bad as I have seen them in years.

This team is on a mission. Pulling the press in the 2nd is pulling back. I am in the camp if you schedule em take what you get. I wasn't there but I suspect the second team got plenty of minutes.

I agree with Clyde, their match up this year is much anticipated by this fan of the game. It really doesn't mean too much until they meet at Regions though. Feb 4, 11 @Ryle, Is there a reason they are not playing a game at Boone as well?

From the AD at NDA on the paNDA question: "In 1976/77 NDA held a school wide contest to vote for a school mascot. All students were eligible to submit an entry for mascot. The Panda won primarily because it had nda in the name."

I remember two games last season, a barn burner at Boone, great game and a not so great Regional final where neither team could do a thing. I hope both teams are hitting on all pistons.

Odd question coming from a Billiken.

Ut oh, research time. Great question though. I have sent an email to the AD to see if she knows.
