Great kid. Very proud of his accomplishments. He has worked his tail off all year long. He helped bring this team home a victory!!

Would agree Wingman. I cant imagine any of these fine men meant any harm or foul by anything done during the game or any incidents after the game. I think they all played hard and showed each other respect after the game. This has to be one regional championship game for the history books!

Love it Clyde!

I dont want to beat a dead horse so I will try and make this my last comment about the "chest pumping" incident. I did not witness him doing this but Hatton is an exceptional kid on and off the court. He has alot of commradity among his team mates as well as with other players from different teams. If anyone was privied to listening to his interview on the radio station he gave his hats off to the NCC team as well as their coaches. He also talked to Brady after the game telling him not to hang his head because he played an exceptional game as well as his team did. He is a very classy kid. I believe if the chest pumping exsisted it was a run of emotions and not directed to NCC. It was his way of expressing his joy of helping to lead his team to a ninth region title. Dixie and NCC should be extremely proud of the effort and perserverance they played with tonight. Both exceptional teams and proved today why there were the #1 and #2 seeds in the ninth region. Nothing to hang your heads about tonight NCC, you boys worked your butts off. Good luck to Dixie at Rupp Arena.

Kids do this such a thing all the time. Heck you almost see it in every game game when a kid gets an and 1 call. Look Hatton just won the biggest game of his life and was very excited period. Qryche you just posted after the Dixie vs Highlands game how Hatton didn't do any trash talking. Now you want to call a fifteen year old kid classless. I believe you sir are the one that is classless period.

Trammel, Munits and Armbruster(hasnt played due to injury).

What a horrible tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

As Clyde stated Bran's height is not going to be a factor when colleges will be recruiting him with continued success. However, Hatton was at the doctors last week and was measured at 6'2. I do see him daily and that height is pretty accurate. His father is 6'1 and he has surpassed him. As far as Zach McCormicks height he was 5'10 over the summer. I just saw him a few weeks ago at a Dixie home game and he is as tall if not taller than Hatton. He has taken a major growth spurt. Again none of this will be a factor in whatever recruiting is done or as to how many points he will score through out his high school career.

I think if Hatton continues on this path of success and stays healthy he will have a good chance of breaking the record in NKY, but not the state record.

Does anyone know who is the youngest high school (boys) kid that hit 1000 points in the state and NKY? I couldnt find anything.

I agree Pike came up with some huge plays that help seal the deal. I thought that Pike, Hatton, Trammel and Stansburry all played very nice games for the Colonels in one aspect or another(defense/offense). I do think that in order to win the regional title, they must not become so complacent in the second half of their ball games. They took a huge lead in the first half , shutting Highlands down at the basket. They must maintain that intensity and mentality the second half of the game. Hopefully they will learn from this game and shut Boone out Saturday night and advance to the finals. Good luck Colonels!!!

With the way the 9th region has panned out this year, it is a toss up! I will go with NCC v Dixie, Dixie winning the region in a close game.

Congrats to the Dixie Colonels for advancing to the semi-finals and to Brandon Hatton for making his 1000th point. Very big accomplishment for a 15 yr old young man. Hoping for huge success against the Boone Co. Rebels.

No offense Qryche11 but I am hoping not! I want to see my Red Colonels come out on top. I do think it is going to be a very good game and much closer than their first appearance.

Me too, expecting and hoping Dixie takes the regional title. Trammel is a kid that I truly enjoy watching! He is a senior and would love to watch him be part of winning the ninth region title. They have the boys to do it, lets hope they can all stay healthy and continue on their winning streak!

I am glad you mentioned that Walter(about the academic award) Frank Muntis from Dixie recieved that as well. All these boys from all schools should be very proud of their accomplishments. It has made for a fantastic year of basketball. They are all fine young men on and off the court!

Totally missed that thread thanks 4pointplay!

Congrats to Matt Trammel and Brandon Hatton of Dixie for being selected to the Northern Kentucky Association Division I All Stars. Does anyone else know of what other young men in NKY were selected or how many?

I believe Hatton had fifteen tonight. He actually was shy 54 points coming into tonight, which I believe makes him 39 points needed. If Hatton hits this it would be a pretty nice accomplishment for this fifteen year old kid. It was nice seeing all the Dixie players getting minutes tonight. Chevy removed all his starters with 7 min and 20 seconds left in the fourth. There was alot of players subbing in and out tonight. Dixie will need to go deep in that bench to make a run for that regional title.

I would agree. I could definately see St Henry sitting in the final game at Districts and blowing past Lloyd.

Does anyone have box score? I am curious to see how many Trammel ended with. He had a great game on senior night.

I think Dixie wins this game at home. Making Holmes their only loss in the ninth region.

Great player also a great young man.

I believe Hatton ended up with 25. Hatton only played 2 minutes in the second Qtr due to 2 fouls. I believe Thelen sat out alot of the second Qtr due to 2 fouls as well. Thelen is a very good player who plays 110% the entire time he is on the floor.
