AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
He did play those two years. What is even more interesting is there are a lot of differences between that roster, and what is posted on the school site. On the KHSAA one it shows several guys who did not try out, and at least one who was cut. There also are names of players on the team and on the school roster, who are not on the KHSAA one.

AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
As much as I would love to see AJ play, I do not see him listed on the roster on the school website. Where did you see him listed?

Covington Catholic 73 Scott County 55 (Sweet 16 Championship)
Yes i am dead serious. I certainly understand why they do as I have been around basketball long enough, but I dont like it. I also understand that it has worked for them. (And am extremely happy it did) However, looking at yesterday for example. 1) They were able to trap our PG a few times to force turnovers, but SC was unable to capitalize. If they had turned those into points it could have been a different game. 2) If SC was able to exchange 3's for 2 FT attempts, it could have been a different game. The lead was only 9 pts if I remember to start the fourth, so it would not take many of these 2 for 3 exchanges to get it close. 3) We only had IMO two guys who if I was coach would be handling the ball in this situation. One of which got in trouble several times and had to either call time out or he turned it over. SC was very aggressive in their trapping defense and if they had played a bit more under control the outcome could have been different. IMO SC paniced way too early. Again, I understand why the Colonels did what they did and of course the good thing is they came out on top once again!

Congrats to the Colonels! Very happy for all members of the team, coaching staff and administration. Being the last one standing at the end of the season is why you all have worked so hard this year. As a fan, I say Thank you for the enjoyment you have provided me this year. Now, enjoy it for a bit, and then get back to work! Next year will be here before you know it. Now some random thoughts and comments from the game 1) The Finals of the Ky Sweet Sixteen basketball tourney is such an awesome event and environment is just awesome. I don't know how you would make it better 2) The crazies were entertaining the entire tournament. Way to represent. 3) I HATE when we start to play not to lose at the beginning of the fourth quarter. 4) The big guy from Scott County- Moreno, you can tell is a very good player but it seemed like he did not try and dominate for his team. Not sure if was coaching or what 5) I was shocked at the relatively small number of Scott County students there. Being it was the finals, the size of the school, and the proximity to Rupp, I expected there to be a good back and forth banter between the two student sections. There really was none. 6)I did not like the SC students calling a colonel player ugly while he was shooting free throws. I hate personal attacks. Maybe the crazies did too as I was farther from them, but I did not hear them. If they did shame on them. 7) I also hate hearing the bull :poop: chant when they feel the ref made a bad call 8) Personally I thought it was a well officiated game. Let them play but not get too physical 9) Football and Basketball are in the books, so now let's get baseball!

Early Predictions... Best NKY Sophomores
I can tell you most assuredly that this was not the case for Bryce and his family. They were devastated to get the news that the surgery was required.

Early Predictions... Best NKY Sophomores
Yes it is a shame that Bryce has to undergo this surgery. Big strong kid that I have watched play for years now. He has thrown a lot of pitches over the last few years, both in summer, showcases and High School. I have no doubt he will come back from this, but just hate seeing him miss this year. With a strong summer I also believe he would have increased his offers pitching for Midland this year.

Covington Catholic 53 Cooper 49 (9th Region Semifinals)
My thoughts exactly. There was no need for him to hand at all, and when he did, pretty obvious T IMO. As for the 'traffic' underneath, again no need to hang as he would not have hurt anyone. Regardless, Cooper did not lose becuause of this play. They lost because they missed shots. Cov Cath missed shots too. CJ missed shots that are normally money. As Coach Cal says, it happens, these kids are not machines. Great game to watch as a fan though. Well worth the $6 ticket. Only thing I wish was different though, my Colonels are not the type of team that is good at playing not to lose. in that 4th QTR when they started running clock and forcing Cooper to foul, I thought they were gonna lose it. If Cooper would have had a couple more threes, we would have lost. Can not exchange 2 for 3 when you dont have a bigger lead. Also, not enough ball handlers to run enough clock. At least IMO, and the old guys I was sitting with. Anyway, very happy they won, and good look at State!

1980 Holmes guard Mark Elmer has passed away
I have not know Mark but for the last 6 years living next door to him. Never knew or remember seeing him play, but I can tell you this - He was a better human being than he was a player. What a guy. Would help anyone who needed it if he could, even though he did not have much more than who he was helping. He loved doing that. He was truly a great dude. He will be missed. Love ya man!

History Of The NKY Jack Kaelin Freshman Regional Tournament
Boone won in 2008. They and the Colonels were both in the top half of the bracket and played in the semi's. Triple OT thriller and Boone won by one I think. Trevan Brown and Jake Thelen had a greate battle. Boone then cruised in the finals, Pretty sure they played Dixie. I also think Cov Cath won in 2009, but not certain. Memory is not what it used to be!

Thank you for verifying! I have not lost it - yet. I was pretty certain it did happen. I thought I had heard that some kids got in trouble for it as well.

Covington Catholic 71 Highlands 25
When the boy was playing 8 years ago, there was a decent size contingent of Highlands students that would come to the Cov Cath gym it seems for the games. I also thought there was one year when they showed up with a state championship trophy if I recall correctly. I am old but I thought that was Highlands and was not all that long ago. Maybe someone else remembers.
