Baseball Nut 24

Holy Cross was in deep foul trouble all night on the road, including Aumani Nelson fouling out and missing the last 11+ minutes of the game. In the overtime periods Holy Cross had to limit the possessions and try to win it that way. If it was an issue for Highlands they could have come out and guarded them man-to-man. They sat back and let HC run the clock. Zero issues with it !

Was great to my guy @Mustang and his partner Dave Trentman last night. Those guys do a great job on the Brossart radio broadcast. Also a great spot they set us up to call the game. Thank you @Mustang !!!

Nice early season matchup tonight as Holy Cross (3-0) travels to Ft. Thomas to take on Highlands (2-1). The Indians with a big week as they play at Highlands tonight then host Cooper on Thursday at the Finn Center. Who you got in this one? Can't make it to the game tonight, Holy Cross Radio will be there live to cover the game. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

Hope she is back on the court soon.

Jones played a great game against Holy Cross on Tuesday, anyone know why she missed this one.

Holy Cross plays at Highlands on Tuesday. I sure hope Green is ok and can play.

Lid-lifter. I like that. Lol

Holy Cross played this game without Sophomore D'Myah Williams. She is expected back tonight at St. Henry. She will be a huge part of their team this year. After the St. Henry game tonight, the Indians will go to Highlands on Tuesday then play host to Cooper on Thursday. Will see 3 of the top 9th region teams in the first week. Good early season schedule to see where they are.

Final in overtime from Latonia. Luke Arlinghaus led the way with 25 points for the Indians. Anthony Coppola led the Raiders in scoring with around 27. (unofficial).

All Covington Holy Cross boys and girls home games (and some away games, tournaments, etc.) will be broadcast live on Holy Cross Radio with Terry Niehaus & Jeff Trame on the call. They will be entering their 13th season on the air. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

Coming from a Holy Cross guy I think Coach Thelen will do a great job. He is a very well spoken young man and clearly has a great basketball mind and passion to coach at his alma mater. I think The Colonels did a great job with this hire! Great interview.

Owensboro Sports Center is a 3 and a half hour drive for us up here in the 9th Region/Northern Ky. I would love to see it moved somewhere a little more neutral as far as location.

From a media standpoint only, I loved the setup at Corbin arena. The way the staff set up elevated tables about 15-20 feet off the sidelines was really nice and internet access/hard wire connection was excellent. Eastern Ky is a really nice venue as well but not quite as "media friendly". :-). I would expect it back at EKU in 2026.

When I was in Corbin earlier this year with Holy Cross Radio I heard rumblings about it possibly moving. A few months later then heard that it was going to Owensboro for maybe one year depending on the progress of renovation at Eastern Ky University. I thought the staff at the All "A" did a great job when it was held in Corbin this year. All that being said, they could have done a much better job of getting word out.

No video streams are allowed for this tournament. Audio only!

Reminder that if you can't make it to the Truist Arena tonight for the Cooper/Holy Cross semifinal showdown, we will be there live on Holy Cross Radio with all the live coverage starting at approximately 7:45 pm. https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/holycross/widget?I'd=145

No doubt!!!

DD - You know I respect your assessments of these games and appreciate your thoughts on all games throughout the year. That being said this isn't like a David vs Goliath situation. Holy Cross is really good. I understand than many people (clearly you included) that think Cooper is much better than Holy Cross. I respect that as they are the favorites. My thought here is that if Holy Cross wins this game I don't think "many" will be shocked at all. It's high school basketball where anything can happen on a given night (on a big stage) especially when it's two teams clearly good enough to both be in the top 5 of the state polls. I like the common opponent outlook. But those games really don't mean much of anything going into Friday night other than talk back and forth. Cooper is really really good everyone knows that. They lost a couple games to Sacred Heart by 12 and by 5 (wonderful). But also lost to Montgomery Co by 9, who Notre Dame beat by 22. Then Holy Cross handled Notre Dame easily twice. See where I'm going with this? Bottom line, Holy Cross is the underdog no doubt. But I have a feeling the Indians will show up with a lot of confidence and will play a good game. They have lost ONE game since Dec 22nd and that was by two points on the road to #3 GRC. I think it will be a great crowd on Friday night as you will have many stay and watch from the first game (Highlands/Ryle) and it will be a great atmosphere for these kids!

I remember that. Crazy!

Cooper 68 Highlands 54

It's crazy that #2 plays #4 on Friday in just the regional semifinals. The 9th region is always so tough.

No video streaming is allowed at NKU, only audio streaming.

This game isn't until Friday night (8:00 pm start) but will be the most anticipated girls matchup in the 9th region all year. A lot of people wanted this to be a potential finals matchup but the draw played out this way. Holy Cross (28-5) will enter the game riding a 16-game winning streak and have won 21 of their last 22 games. Cooper comes in riding a 9-game winning streak and have won 24 of their last 25 games. Cooper has been ranked #2 or #3 in the state polls pretty much all year and Holy Cross has been #4 or #5 since winning the All A" Classic in January.
