Pretty even when it comes to talent. I like HC in this one. IMO they have the best coaching staff in the 9th region.

Did HHS & NCC square off earlier this year ? HHS likes to trap out of a half court press and their very good at it with their speed. If NCC can handle it, should be a good game.

Don't know the answer to either. Just seems as though the talent level in NKY has gone up in recent years with the younger players playing key roles. Used to be you had 1 or maybe 2 good players per team. Now you've got teams (BC, SK, NDA, CONNER, HHS,) that have strong players 1 thru 5 with a few more on the bench. Teams like Ryle, HC, NCC, WV are catching up. Fun to watch when that many teams have a lot of talent and good coaching.

Got to see Ryle earlier this year. Jump, Crittendon and Moss (Freshman & two 8th graders). I'm sure they have others as well. Could be real strong in years to come. NCC with Sandfoss & Cundiff (sophomores) play well together. (Sandfoss might be best I've seen this year). Highlands with Allen (sophomore) and others that I'm not that familiar with with, play great defense. These are just some that I've seen play that have young teams.

Doing a spin-off of an earlier thread that talked about Freshman teams. Some were commenting on the players themselves. I have noticed that NKY varsity teams are loaded with talented 8th/fresh/soph players. Don't know why and if the rest of the state is the same, but it would appear that this bodes well for the future of NKY. Maybe a state title in the not too distant future.

NCC wore 'em down.
