Keep It Real

Did the Angel family move to Fort Thomas?

Probably talking about a different boot. A boot for an injured foot to make people think that's why they're not playing.

Will they wear a boot on the sidelines during their suspension?

Fun game. Ryle really surprised everyone and scared the bejezus out of Notre Dame.

Really poor way for Conner to go out after a fine season. I was terribly disappointed in some of the actions I saw from a player or two for Conner. Disappointing all around for Conner.

True during the regular season and maybe the semis and finals of the region but not the first game when each team usually throws their ace. You're seeing best vs best. I think the first round gives the truest indication.

If you look at what Beechwood actually did this year as far as quality wins it can't be a surprise that they lost to a really good pitcher. Nice team for sure with a couple of really nice players but not a great team.

Is it 11 years or 12 years since CovCath won their last region title?

I know Beechwood has a couple of nice players but maybe people should adjust their expectations.

The people I was sitting with were surprised that Coach Krumpelman did not bunt late in the game a few times. They said he always bunts no matter who is batting.

I figured they were close in age. Was Tony involved in the hiring process? Or was it just the principal and the AD Guidugli?

Did this guy go to school with Tony Bacigalupo? Do they know each other from high school days?

The bigger point is that a wealthy booster maybe even a person involved with a team somewhere in the program made it apparent to many that he would write a check for major dollars if Dave Wirth was fired and if they hired a certain coach to replace him. Did that have an impact?

Are you saying this because of the stories about boosters willing to pay for lights if they got rid of the head coach? I heard one coach had a really big booster dangling a big check over CovCath's head if they hired a particular coach.

This has to go down as one of the worst losses to the Bluebirds for the Blue Colonels in at least 10 years when you consider everything. Hype, supposed talent level of both teams. Worse than any of the beatings they took from the Bluebirds when Dave Brossart was the head coach. Those teams were not as talented and had checked out by the end of the year plus the Birds were extremely talented even by their standards.

My source says the state denied Aaron Floyd's waiver. If so that means he will have to appeal in order to play at CovCath.

Not sure if any head varsity jobs are open or not but who are some of the top assistants in the 9th that would make a good varsity coach soon?

I saw the pass go up but I was watching the CovCath kid who was going to get the lob. I didn't see it close enough to see what happened with the ball.

Who told you this?

What?

St Henry can be a tough out if they get contributions across the board like they did last night.

Either no one cares to even release the names they've heard or Ryle has done a really good job of keeping it quiet.

What's the feeling in Latonia for Coach Shrand? When they were looking for a coach there was a rumor saying they tried to get Joe Frederick. I wonder how hard they tried to get him and how good he might have done with this team? Having been around him in the AAU world I can tell you he has a unique rapport with the players. Good energy. Players like playing for him even if he's kicking them in the rear occasionally. Knows the game from my experience.

I was sitting with a buddy and we both said the same thing about Coach W.

Scoring late unnecessary TDs. Cancelling JV games you know your going to lose big. Playing safe down 3 scores instead of giving your team a chance to make a run at it. Some coaches are more worried about scoring margins.
