That's great that she is doing well! I completely agree about the private school preparing them for college; at least I'm praying it does with mine. Having an itinerary will keep some of them outta of trouble. Although, I find it hard to believe Maddy would be one of those. Thank you, yes we know that if Haylee needs any help or has questions we can turn to you guys. Appreciate it!!

JMU, now that Maddy is in the middle of the season, how is she liking the softball/school work balance? College transition is always hard but athletes have to have even more tough road. I'm sure she's handling it like the champ she is; just wondering if I need to have mine reach out to her so she can fill her in on what she may expect at te next level.

If you're an NDA fan that knows all the rumors that have gone on about Haylee and my sense of humor, it's quite funny. But no worries; Smith is a Panda for life.

We were thinking now that bball is over we would switch her to Holy Cross. But she said since you wouldn't be there, no way she'd go so I just put her transfer to Boone in. Dallis & Haylee together for a year. Oh yeah, Baugh is moving too!!

Lol!! Basketball is now over. Time for some real ball ?

Congrats to Maddy!!!! I'm sure she will miss your beach body out there with her. ?

Totally biased but Smith played well. Scored 13, not sure how many rebounds. Not her top rebounding night & missed a couple free throws but she played to win. Can't be upset with that

Congrats to Gallatin!

Great game. Would've liked to have seen some more fire from the Pandas but hoping the flames start shooting next week!! McClendon sure is fun to watch!!

Guess we all need excuses now and then.

First meeting this season was at NDA. You believe tonight will be different for the refs?

You may need a drink before, during and after watching it.

It was my husband and another dad from NDA that were told to take a seat. However, they did not come out of the stands, they were already standing along the wall. They were told to take a seat when the comment to the refs "it's your job to keep them safe" was made. That was said when it was apparent at half court that the NCC player intended on doing whatever necessary to stop the fast break by NDA. It resulted in our girl taking a hard trip to the ground.... Emotions and adrenaline high on both sides resulted in as Lawnboy said, one of the ugliest games one could witness!! Fundamentals should be the focus if NDA plans on making it far in the post season.

Congratulations Brooke!!!!

Guess our definition of easily winning is a bit different. Had Holmes hit those free throws, what's to say Boone or Cooper weren't on the money with 3's the same night? Coulda, woulda, shoulda...but to say could have easily won is bit presumptive, especially when there's a loss recorded because of those teams. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Holmes girls. Congrats on their season so far & good luck on the remainder of the season.

Since they could have easily beat Boone & Cooper, is there a particular reason they held back those nights?

NDA at Beechwood 2/17 7:30

Agree with being close but I give the edge to Boone. I'd say they have motivation from the first meeting.

Apologies to Carlee!! It was her and Paige that were top scorers.

Missed seeing you tonight paNDA. Notre Dame's 5 seniors started the game. Not one foul called in 1st quarter, score 13-7 Pandas. First foul called pretty quickly into 2nd on NDA but able to lead 21-11 into half, with whistle blown but still not too much. 3rd and 4th quarters the whistle blowing quite a bit. Both teams ended in double bonus, Pandas reached it first and HC coach took advantage with some nice coaching & substitutions. HC was able to make a close comeback (too close for my comfort at least). Pandas held tough and were able to hold on for the win. All the seniors made it into record book tonight, with Kellam & Ogle leading the team. #3 for HC was top scorer and fun to watch.

World According to Lawnboy...how do you envision it?? ? Not happy when no games/practice with clear roads....not happy when games on with no practice. What makes the lil fella happy?? Feb 15th is quickly approaching; let's just be happy the best sport gonna start soon! Sorry RC, didn't mean to take away from your Birds tonight. Good luck!

Covington Diocese extended the dead period, not the KHSAA.

Ugly game! Fortunately girls were able to pull out a win. Hopefully there's a whole lot of free throw practice this next week.

Jefferson County has cancelled events for today so NDA will now be playing the Twinsburg, OH team at 2pm instead of Butler at 12:30pm.

Congratulations Michaela!!!!
