Not that any of that changes how sick the whole situation was.

I read another article that stated that the accused was living with a female roommate who owned the dog. The article went on to say that she noticed her dog limping and fearful of her family so she put up cameras which caught her roommate in the act.

Good to hear Goetz played so well. There is a ton of potential on this Cru team.

I believe Holy Cross lost to Collins yesterday.

I am just curious as to what is offensive to anyone in the song in it's original entirety? My three year old was taught the dreidel song at daycare and I was not offended at all. The same goes with saying Merry Christmas. When I say it, I am extended well wishes the best way I know how. When someone sneezes, I say "god bless you" Is that offensive too? Singing a joyous song during the Holidays should not offend anyone but the Grinch.

Does anyone know where you can find a schedule of games. I have found the team list, but not sure who play when.

I believe there will be a lot more Ky teams competing this year with nationals in Louisville. Less cost involved for travel and still get the experience.

The Travelers played in the KY state AAU tournament last year if I am not mistaken.

Looks like Andy Flood with back to back big games for Cov Cath. He has the ability to be a really nice player.

Nice to see Wallenhorst coming to life. He has a tremendous upside.

Newport is going to surprise some teams this year.

On paper the goose egg doesn't seem so far fetched, but as everyone knows the games are all about matchups and who is hot or off on any given night. That being said, how many of the above games would you have picked Newport to win if they played this schedule? I would say that Newport could knock off a few of those teams and from what I heard, Holy Cross gave Newport all they could handle. I really think Holy Cross will surprise a few teams and come away with some wins that paper says they shouldn't have. Watch out for Bezold, he is a gamer with a super nice stroke.

Nice thread Jimmy. I am looking for a couple of 2nd grade boys from NKY that would be interested in moving up through the competitive ranks eventually. PM me to discuss.

Why is Carlton not playing? Is he injured?

I agree. Snapp is a special player and will continue to get better. He puts in the work and it shows.

Cooper 59, Walton-Verona 35 Walton Verona–Taulber 1 0 3, Anderson 0 1 1, Evans 2 0 4, Kinmon 6 0 16, Catlett 1 1 3, Townsend 3 0 8. Totals: 13 2 35. Cooper (1-0)–McNair-Turner 1 2 4, Holland 4 4 13, Brandel 1 0 2, Z. McNeil 4 3 12, Henderson 1 1 3, Dragon 2 0 4, Liechty 0 1 1, Hathorn 2 0 4, Hawkins 1 0 2, Rohlman 0 1 1, S. McNeil 4 5 13.

Did Wallenhorst play for St. Henry.

This is an interesting topic. I am intrigued by the varsity and jv option for middle school. That is an idea. I also like the "A" and "B" team scenarios. This whole situation can be looked at from two sides. One side sees younger kids taking playing time from older kids when they have their own team, but what if you look at from the younger players eyes. Say their 6th. grade team is so good with them that they only get to play limited time because they are always leading and the second string is in. I don't know if this is the case, but I think that if I had a son who was years ahead in his game that I would want to have the option of playing him up.

I feel like given their schedule they will finish above .500. They have another big test tomorrow night at home against Brossart. They could very well start the season at 0 - 2. They are young and have room to grow and I am sure that Coach Snapp will get the best out of them. It's hard to tell after one game against Holmes exactly how good they are. They played a really good first quarter. They need to get better at controlling tempo and find someone else to contribute consistently on offense other than Ethan. I guarantee they will beat the teams they are supposed to and surprise a couple along the way.

Carson is a beast. This may be a common stat line for him this year.

Walter's answer was spot on. Holmes is that good this year. They are deep and do not let up. They can score from all over the place. Snapp looks to be Newport's only scorer. The other four starters are gritty and will fight for a while, but they cannot afford to go the bench at all yet. Which is why the game was so close after one quarter. Every sub for Newport cost them a couple points and Holmes was in a nice rotation without giving up anything the whole game.

What you will find is that anytime score is kept, a coach is concerned with winning. As long as they don't let it interfere with the development of the players. If you are playing where I think you are, there are specific rules about what defenses are allowed and what are not. Were you asked to deviate from this?

Any idea what the U16 team will look like?

I didn't include Jalen Perry of Ballard cause I'm not sure if he will play 17 or 16U. I believe Perry is in the 2015 class at Ballard. He would have to play U17. Am I Correct? That is an impressive roster.

Isn't Long from the 2016 class?
