Final score from Bullitt East (Quarter Finals) HC 10 9 13 12 - 44 DM 20 6 12 16 - 54 * Unofficial but Junior Julia Hunt led Holy Cross with 19 points. I don't have any stats for Manual.

Final from Mason County per the scoreboard. Any details on this one? The Birds held to 60 points is a little surprising...

Off shooting night. Had 11 points.

They were led in scoring by Jacob Meyer with 39 points and 9 rebounds. Jacob Smith added 21 and Matt Dreas chipped in with 7 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assist and 4 steals. Sam Gibson had 20 rebounds. Holy Cross will travel to Ohio to take on Roger Bacon on Thursday night. * The Rebels were led by Thomas Williams with 25 points. Mason Hall added 18.

Final from the Queen of the Commonwealth Tournament at Bullitt East. Holy Cross improves to 8-1 on the season with a big win over the Lady Mustangs. They will now take on Dupont Manual tomorrow night at 7:15 pm.

Could still re rounding into basketball shape but teams at least so far teams are still double-teaming her with a front and back player. The beneficiary of that has been Najai Lewis who has been guarded one on one and she has been off to a great start. If this was last year I'd be much more worried about her "lower" scoring games but as a TEAM, I think having 2 post players is obviously a huge benefit for the team in the long run. She still leads the team in scoring at 12.7 ppg we just have more balance scoring this year. They are 7-1 and really haven't played a complete game yet. They will get a huge test next week when they play in the Queen of the Commonwealth at Bullitt East. They play McCracken County on Monday so we will see how they can stack up against the better teams down state in this tournament and then the All "A" in January. ?

Big win for the Lady Indians on the road. They play host to Scott on Friday.

I haven't seen the Birds live yet this year but have watched the scores like most people have. They have played well to start the season and probably the 2nd best team (behind Cov Cath) at this point. But I will say I think the high scoring games/output has at least "partly" been a product of who they have played so far. The combined record of the 6 teams played so far is 11-26. Again, not hating on what this team can do and clearly they have shooters but I might pump the brakes on them averaging 90-100 consistently. If they keep up that pace it will be very impressive. I do look forward to seeing them in person when they come to Holy Cross on January 4th. That game could clearly be high scoring. ?

Holy Cross Radio will be there on Friday for the Holy Cross/Scott game in Latonia. Double Deuce is right a big step up in competition.

I sure hope Brooks is ok. I really hate to see these kids go down with injuries. Prayers out to the young man.

Holy Cross (4-1) will travel to Park Hills to take on Covington Catholic (5-0) tonight in an early season 35th district seed game. Holy Cross's lone loss came to Great Crossing, who is ranked in the top 10 in the state, last week on their home floor. The Colonels, rank in the top 5 in the state, are led by Evan Ipsaro averaging 27.4 ppg. The Indians come into this game led by Jacob Meyer with 33.6 ppg and Javier Ward at 21.6 ppg. It should be a great atmosphere tonight and more than likely a sellout. If you can't make it to the game, you can listen live on Holy Cross Radio at http://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145.

Final from Scott County. Holy Cross (4-1) rebounds from last night's loss to Great Crossing with a win over Scott Co 95-72 to capture 3rd place in the Billy Hicks Classic. Holy Cross 24 30 20 21 - 95 Scott County 18 15 21 18 - 72 Holy Cross was led by Senior Jacob Meyer with 37 points and 12 rebounds. Senior Javier Ward had 28 points (5/9 from 3) and Senior Sam Gibson added 14 points and 14 rebounds. Scott County was led by Daquise Brown and Nick Mosby who each had 20 points. The Indians will next play at Cov Cath on Tuesday in a 35th district seed game.

Final from the Billy Hicks Classic at Great Crossing. HC 9 14 25 12 - 60 GC 17 21 14 23 - 75 Great Crossing jumped out to an early lead and would eventually lead 38-23 at the half. Holy Cross outscored the Warhawks 25-14 to cut into the lead 52-48 heading into the 4th. Holy Cross started the 4th on a 6-2 run and would tie the game at 54 with 5:00 to go but would get outscored 21-6 to end the game. Senior Jacob Meyer led all scores with 34 for Holy Cross. Javier Ward added 14. Great Crossing was led by Soph Vince Dawson with 23 and Malachi Moreno added 21 points and 14 rebounds. Holy Cross will play in the 3rd place game tomorrow at 2:00 pm vs Frederick Douglass at Scott County HS.

People were wanting to put them at #2 or #3 in the region I thought. Maybe they will be better as the year goes but I'll take experience/seniors over youth any day.

Highlands is young and I think they will get better as the season goes on. They may be a year away from competing with the top teams again. It was 25-19 at half before Holy Cross opened it up in the 3rd quarter outscoring the Birds 25-4. Julia and Marissa both played well and both had several block shots.

Final From Ft. Thomas. Holy Cross improves to 4-1 on the season and will play their first home game of the season tomorrow night at the Finn Activity Center vs Campbell County at 7:30 pm.

Big win for the Camels. Thought this would be much closer.

Prayers for improved health B-Ball-fan. I hope you can catch a Holy Cross game on radio to keep you informed when we are playing.

Final from Great Crossing and the Billy Hicks Classic. Holy Cross improves to 3-0 on the season with a win over a "rebuilding" John Hardin team. They were led by Jacob Meyer with 29 points. Jacob Smith had 17 points and Javier Ward had 16 points and 6 assists. Senior Center Sam Gibson added 7 points, 20 rebounds and 7 block shots. The Indians advance to take on the home team Great Crossing on Friday night at 7:30 pm. Holy Cross Radio will be there to cover the game.

A week into the season and you've already seen most of the contenders. I'm impressed. I think we can all agree that CCH is always the team to beat every year that's not breaking any news. So I guess let's give Cov Cath the region in December. ?

Final from Lex Catholic. Holy Cross improves to 3-0 (all on the road). They will play 2 more road games Tuesday at Dixie and Thursday at Highlands before finally having a home game on Saturday vs Campbell County.

Final from Latonia. Holy Cross improves to 2-0 with a 91-62 win. They led from start to finish led by Senior guard Jacob Meyer with 35 points (29 in first half), 14 rebs and 7 assists. Javier Ward had 22 points and Jacob Smith added 15. Ryle was led by Logan Verax who had 18 points. The Indians hit 14/25 from 3 and had 21 assists as a team. Holy Cross will next play next Wednesday when they travel to take on John Hardin in the Billy Hicks Classic. Ryle 21 16 7 18 - 62 HC 32 23 19 17 - 91 Ryle (0-2) - Verax 18, Smith 12, Deatherage 8, D Davis 6, AJ Davis 5, Lorms 4, McKelvey 3, Coppola 2, DeGroff 2, Louden2. Holy Cross (2-0) - Meyer 35, Ward 22, Smith 15, Reinersman 8, Gibson 6, Arlinghaus 3, White 2.

Coach Arlinghaus has a very deep team this year. He can and probably will go 9-10-11 deep during most regular season games. When he plays the tougher teams maybe only go 7-8 deep. Once this team can develop into their roles and come together they will be a handful in my opinion.

Final from the Finn Activity Center Atherton 14 16 14 14 - 58 Holy Cross 22 15 20 23 - 80 Holy Cross was led by Seniors Jacob Meyer with 33 points (11 rebs) and Javier Ward with 28 points. Senior Sam Gibson added a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Atherton was led by Junior Braylin Taylor with 16 points. * The Indians will welcome in the Ryle Raiders to the Finn Center this Friday, December 2nd.
