Baseball Nut 24

Who you got in round 3??? These two teams played a pair of nail biters in the regular season but round 3 tonight will be the only one that matters. Back on Jan 12th (All A Classic) Holy Cross beat Beechwood 48-44. Then Beechwood won in Ft. Mitchell on Feb 9th in 3 overtimes 66-64. Holy Cross did play the second game without Luke Arlinghaus (13 ppg). He will be back for tonight. If you can't make it down to the Fieldhouse at Holmes in person tonight you can listen to all the live action on Holy Cross Radio starting at approx 7:15 pm. Tip time set for 7:30 pm. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

All Holy Cross boys and girls games for district and regional games will be broadcast live on Holy Cross Radio. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

Best of luck to all the teams next week. For the seniors, it can be a tough and emotional week. Only one team can go down state. We need to celebrate and recognize all the talent that is in the 9th region year in and year out!

Sorry that didn’t come across like I wanted it. lol. My point was that the candidates are always strong for these awards. I take it very seriously.

Final from last night’s senior night in Latonia. Holy Cross finishes the regular season with a 16-12 record and will play Beechwood on Wednesday night at 7:30 pm in the 35th district tournament at Holmes HS.

I do have a vote and right now my mind is not made up on either the boys or girls side. So many talented and deserving players on these lists.

Holy Cross finishes out the regular season 25-5 and a 13-game winning streak. They are 17-1 in 2024 with the only loss coming on the road 59-57 at #2 George Rogers Clark. None of that means anything now though as the district tournament starts next week (at Holmes for the 35th) and regional tournament the following week!

She was not injured. She will be back for tonight's season finale at Conner.

DD - you did a great job all year long covering the 9th region girls rankings and provided a lot of good insight along the way. Thank you!

Great fast-paced game to call on radio as Holy Cross extends their winning streak to 11 games. Simon Kenton came out on fire (especially from 3) and built a 13-point early in the 2nd quarter. Holy Cross would respond the rest of the quarter and cut the SK lead to 3 at halftime. In the 2nd half the Pioneers would continue to hit 3-pointers and have the lead until mid-4th quarter when Holy Cross would take their first lead since the first quarter. Pretty sure Simon Kenton shot 13/19 from 3 which is a great shooting performance. All that being said, the "toughness" and "will to win" by the this Holy Cross team showed up late in the 4th. Senior Julia Hunt and Junior Aumani Nelson had huge 4th quarters leading the comeback. Unofficial from Holy Cross Radio - Cov Holy Cross (23-5) - Hunt 20, Hayes 15, Nelson 15, Wimzie 12, Arlinghaus 8, Carter 5. Simon Kenton (17-8) - Kelch 20 (6/8 from 3), Webb 18, Pernell 16, Blevins 4, Flynn 4, Gadzala 3, Ober 3.

Mark and his crew always do a great job on their broadcasts covering so many teams around the region every year! ?

Holy Cross is really rolling right now having won 10 in a row which was previously mentioned above. They will play host Simon Kenton out of region on Wednesday at the Finn Activity Center. Holy Cross Radio will be there for the call on that one. I am hoping to have former Simon Kenton Head Coach Jeff Stowers in for a halftime interview. * Also prayers out to Freshman D'Myah Williams today as she has surgery!

Great job with the weekly rankings DD !

It was a great start to the game for my young Indians indeed. They had confidence and a little momentum towards the end of the first quarter (17-16) but like you mentioned Luke Arlinghaus came down and injured his foot on the last play of the quarter and did not return. It's feared that he broke his foot. Let's hope they are wrong today when it gets looked at today. This would be a huge loss to this team. Back to the game...for Cov Cath I was really impressed with the overall floor game from Cash Harney. He can make shots and sees the floor so well. He also does a great job in transition when it's there and when it's not. Bradshaw off the bench was also impressive. Then you have Hussey and McGillis who are knock-down 3-point shooters. Caden Miller finished with a game-high 18 points. Holy Cross was led by Sophomore Nate Rominger who was solid going up against the combination of Miller & Bradshaw most of the night. He finished with a team-high 14 points. * Holy Cross will look to bounce back on Friday at Beechwood. Runcible Owl - I really appreciate the kind words about our radio broadcast. Thank you!

Here is my best guess. They had to keep the conference games first. After that I know they had grade school nights and senior night already planned so they couldn’t cancel those. It was probably process of elimination. The two teams may face each other at NKU in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, that game has been cancelled. After playing 4 games at the All A State, Holy Cross had to cancel two games because they would have over the number of games allowed.

Pikeville ahead of Cov Holy Cross is interesting. I’d flip flop those two at the top since HC just beat them H2H.

Thank you!

I really appreciate the kind words DD and Rjal. It’s all been about the kids though I’m just a small part of the program who loves Holy Cross and our kids! Our radio show has been a huge success over the years but it’s easy to do when you love doing it and you build up an awesome fan base over the years! I truly appreciate the kind words!

DD - Great job with the rankings this week!

Thanks DD it was a fun week in Corbin following this team. This is a special group of kids and seniors. You are correct Julia Hunt now with B2B All A Tournament MVPs!

Holy Cross Radio will have the "audio only" call of the game courtside live starting at 11:45 am. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

Final from the All A Classic at Corbin Arena. Holy Cross improves to 16-5 on the year and will now play Owsley Co at 8:30 am on Friday in the quarterfinals. Senior Julia Hunt led all scorers with 17 points.

Not sure of the setup they will have for us radio guys in Corbin until I get down there but assuming everything is good there, I will be broadcasting the Cov Holy Cross games this week. Holy Cross plays at 10:00 am tomorrow morning vs Whitefield Academy. Link is below. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145
