Reality Check

I agree with the statement on Coach Bohmer he had them playing as a contender, but a few years under Herald and the program declined IMO. I don't want to take anything away from Coach Bohmer especially at this time. At any rate, if this is true I hope Beechwood can bring in someone to keep the positive momentum going. Their program is heading in the right direction.

If this is true it would be a shame for Beechwood. He put that program back on the map.

I just don't think CCH is the place to cut your teeth for your first Varsity head coaching job.

I am sure he didn't make any friends when Beechwood knocked CCH out of the districts either.

Any idea on the other 3?

Coach L is a great family man and a great coach. I really hope this was his decision alone. Hat's off to him on all that he has accomplished. Best of luck for any future endeavors. It will be interesting to see who applies for this job. IMO one of the top jobs in NKY. I would expect some serious interest.

Great for him, always seemed like a good kid.

From reading this thread I realize that people will complain about anything and everything. It is not perfect people and it never will be. Sure the line was long, but most high school venues only have one entrance (other than Conner) parking is difficult at most high school venues, and clearning the gym was a nightmare. The crowds at BOK were awesome all week, any venue in the 9th would not have been able to accomodate that many guests. And lets not forget, playing in an arena helps prepare our region teams for what they will see at state in regards to floor size and shooting lines.

I don't know him but from watching him play this year you can tell he is a good kid. I was grinning from ear to ear when he hit that first free throw! Congrats on helping your team make it to state.

Donnie Cheatum is a very good player. No need to try to discredit anything he did or speak down about the kid. Congratulations to him on a solid career at Lloyd.

I agree he is a nice guy and a great coach. If he can pull out a W in the region with this team I will put him in legendary status!!

I would be very surprised. The only wins they have this season are over small schools. They will undoubtedly draw a district Champion so against the likes of Holmes, CCH, NCC, Boone, Ryle...I think they are a one and done.

Worst district in NKY. Congrats to St. Henry for pulling out the W. Lloyd had a nice season just couldn't get up over the hump.

Guess I could have read the article first! "The coaches association will vote for Player of the Year and Coach of the Year in each division following the post-season playoffs. The coaches will also vote on 9th Region Player of the Year. Those winners will be announced during an awards banquet in March, but the date and location have not been determined."

When do they announce player of the year? My predictions: I- Brandon Hatton- Dixie II- Jake Giesler- NCC III- Tyler Fangman- Beechwood

Holy Cross has struggled at times to shoot throughout the season. I like CCH in this one by 5.

:thumb: Agreed. Love it or hate it, it's part of the game. If you want to be a successful team or player you have to learn how to adjust to different types of officiating. You can watch games in any region and think that they are called differently but as Clyde said you have to adjust during each game.

I could see Holy Cross knocking off CovCath in the 35th.

I love watching Trevan Brown play, he does such a good job once he gets the ball. Boone was out-rebounding the Colonels for most of the night, seemed like as soon as Boone would cut it down to two or tie it they would force a couple of turnovers and score in transition. The more I watch this Dixie team the more I like them. Making the region out of their district is a no brainer, good luck to them in the Region.

:thumb::thumb: Two of the best from the 9th. Congrats!

Boone will sit in a zone, and Dixie will thrive in it. They have a lot of weapons. I will take Dixie by 10+.

Any article covering local sports is a good article IMO. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know what this email says or the contents. All I know is Coach L is a great coach and and even better family man. He has been passionate for CCH and should be able to leave on his own terms.

IMO- 1. Dixie 2. NCC 3. Holmes 4. Boone County 5. Ryle 6. CCH I think Dixie has the best shot at making it out. Hatton is the go to guy, but to me it comes down to Pike. If Pike can stay in the game and help on defense with the likes of Giesler, Brown, and Thelen that gives Dixie a big boost. You are not going to stop Hatton he will find a way to score on you. I would not be shocked if any of these teams took the 9th region crown.

I like Dixie in this game. Thelen will be the better big man but Dixie's guards will be too much for CovCath to handle. In a hostile environment and a big crowd I will take the Red Colonels by 10.
