Have to buy tickets for Holy Cross/Beechwood through Eventlink from what I was told.

Holy Cross (16-10) at Beechwood (16-11) has a great chance to sellout. They are clearing the gym after the Cov Cath/Holmes game. These two teams played twice this year each winning one. All "A" Classic - Beechwood won 50-41 (HC played w/o McElheney) District seed game - Holy Cross won 61-59 (everyone healthy) You can listen live on Holy Cross Radio if you can't make it. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

The injury was very unfortunate for Jack Sullivan. Great kid and was having an outstanding senior season. Holy Cross has been dealing with injuries as well so it will all depend on those. Nate Rominger and Luke Arlinghaus have both been out the last 4-5 games but Arlinghaus returned vs St. Henry last week playing about 15 minutes. I would assume both try to play. All that being said the Sullivan loss is big for Beechwood. Add in the home court advantage for the Tigers. I think this game is close throughout and comes down to the last few minutes. Which players can make the big plays to help their team win. Coin flip game and one I hope my Indians can win on the road. Note - They are clearing the gym after the Cov Cath/Holmes game expecting a huge crowd possibly a sell out for game #2. If you can’t make the game and want to listen you can do so via Holy Cross Radio at the link below. ill take Ryle over Conner in a close one and I’ll go with an upset with NCC over Highlands playing at home. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

This "9th Region District Previews" thread has turned into the Tay Kinney thread. Anyone have any opinions or picks on the games this week? 🙂

Congratulations to Coach Tommy Sorrell. Dedicated to the program for almost 25 years and has always done a great job coaching his team. Best of luck to him !

He has a chance to be really good I agree with you.

I found the missing point for Highlands. Ebert with 8 not 7.

Heard Simon Kenton’s starters played the entire 36 minutes of the game and they beat the #1 team in the state in the process. Let me repeat starters played the entire game. 0 subs. Let that sink in. Maybe coaches don’t always have to play 8, 9 or even 10 players like a few pundits on here always talk about. Huge congrats to Coach Stowers and the Pioneers!!!
