Dead on Sweeperboy! I agree, 100% with your assessment! Congrats to the Breds!

Congratulations to both Carley and Maria!!! Not only two exceptional defensive specialists but two wonderful young ladies on top of it!

Impressive, Impressive, Impressive And to be a major contributor/leader in all three sports on top of it. Just an incredible career for Brady at NCC. Congratulations Brady!!!! I like to see you getting this recognition for all you've done for NCC over the years. Great thread TOG!!! Chewy and Mrs. Chewy I'm sure are very proud!!!

Great Pictures as always paNDA!!! Speaking on behalf of ALL the Northern Kentucky High School sports fans, your work and dedication to taking pictures at the various high school games is truly appreciated!!

Strong pitching indeed!!!! The Highlands starter, a freshman I believe has a bright future ahead of him. He pitched very well. Cain was very strong for the Breds through the first 6 innings but did run into some trouble in the 7th. A BIGTIME CLUTCH performance by Breds closer Andy Miller! BIG KUDOS to that young man! To come in with bases loaded, one out in the 7th inning, up 3-1 in the Regional Final and to perform like he did is very impressive. A routine shallow fly ball to left field for the second out and a shallow foul fly ball down the first base line to end the game (nice catch by Pangallo - almost is nice as the incredible catch he had last night!!!). Congrats to the Breds on their 3rd Regional Championship in the last 5 years!!!

Who will be pitching for NCC in this one? I was suprised NCC brought in Andy Miller to pitch the 6th and 7th innings of last nights game against St. Henry when the score was 8-0. Especially after he pitched very well against Ryle earlier this year at Ryle. I would think he would get the start against them again, however, since he pitched last night I really don't know. Thoughts? What are the pitching restrictions in HS baseball?

Congratulations Katie and the Glassmeyer family!!!! Good things happen to good people and they are some of the best!!! Plus, she's a heck of a defensive player to boot. WSU is getting a great player and person!

Thanks for the info LB!!!

Congrats to Heidi and the Thelen family. This is an awesome achievement.

Congratulations Brady!!! Best of luck with the Bears!!!

:lol: Luckily she was able to over come her father's athletic ability, or lack there of , and secure a sweet opportunity to play volleyball (and have school paid for) in the ultra competitive SEC. Congrats to Elly, Mark and Joan along with the entire Ogle family on this tremendous accomplishment. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Ding, Ding, Ding....... Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner...... This is exactly what I have heard from a couple Boone parents with regard to the support of the boys team.

Excellent, excellent, excellent post G!!! I would take Brady every day of the week to lead my team.

In my opinion: Boys game - no student section for the Rebels (absolutely none) Girls game - fairly decent student section for the Lady Rebels

Brady should have been at the 1 all year. Not strong with the ball? I don't agree with this at all. He was the best point guard on the team. He has tremendous leadership, a knack for getting to the rim, keeping his teammates involved and ran the team extremely well from the point. I thought the two biggest plays of the game were.... one was mentioned earlier in this thread, when NCC had a chance for a break away layup and Ryan collided Hightchew which knocked the ball lose when they were the only two players on that half of the court for the steal and layup. The other big play, which I am surprised hasn't been brought up as of yet was the defense that Miller played on McQuery. Miller held him to 5 points in the first half and then in the 4th quarter, NCC took Miller out and McQuery scored 7 straight points for Rebels on threee consecutive trips down the court before NCC put Miller back in to play defense against him. I don't know why Brannen feels he has to take Miller out at the same points of the game each game, however, I really thought it cost the Breds not having Miller blanket McQuery the entire game. While Miller was out, McQuery scored on a put back, a three and hit two free throws that put the Rebels up for good during the 4th quarter. As for McDonald, the young man played like he did the first 3 weeks of the season yesterday. It seems as though NCC forgot about him during the middle part of the season (outside of the injury). Again, it seemed as though we had to wait until 3:30 left in the quarter before he came in. I struggle with the substitution pattern with NCC. I wouldn't have taken McDonald out yesterday at all unless he raised his hand stating he was tired.

I agree 100% with regards to Jordan!!! Definitely the offensive star of the game. For defense, what about Elle Ogle. She shut down Crittenden until late in the 4th quarter (garbage time). Where ever Jenna went, Elle was right there with her. I think I even saw Elle follow her to the water cooler when she was out and got a drink. :lol: I also think Ms. Ogle played a wonderful offensive game as well. We left with about 2 minutes left in the game so I don't know how they finished up, however, I thought Ogle out scored her as well. I was just really impressed with how she did against Crittenden. Congrats NDA and good luck agains the Rebels!!!

I think Miller holds McQuery in check which caused Boone to struggle to score enough points. NCC - 50 BCHS - 39

I agree, plus I believe it helps the winner get ready for Rupp, shooting in a bigger arena, etc..

Congratulations Brady!!!! Well deserved for a special player!!!!

I like Highlands big in this game. Big stage, big court, big players..... Towles will dominate inside for the Birds. HHS - 58 Lloyd - 42 I just don't think you can count on hitting three's consistently when you are playing in a big arena.

Yes, that was really sweet, I forgot that one. It seems that play works twice a game for the Breds. I can never tell when it is coming and I look for it each game. It's very well disguised. I agree he is underrated and is one of the more athletic kids on the team. He has been a major contributor this year and I think he will have a big game Saturday against Cooper. With him, McDonald and Schulte next year, it will be hard to find a bigger front line in the 9th region, if not in the state. With Pangallo running the point, things will be bright again for the Breds. However, I have a feeling that this year is far from being over for NCC.

I 100% agree with all of this. Shulte is a very athletic kid that can play above the rim. He has gotten better and better as the year has gone on and has played extremely aggressive the last few games. It was nice to see McDonald and Schulte on the floor at the same time last night. McDonald had a big night and came up with some big rebounds. Good things happen when you get the ball inside and don't rely on the 3 so much. Miller, again, played a great game. I believe he had 9 points, 11+ rebounds, 3+ assists (nice high low passes to Schulte) and came up with numerous lose balls. He just seems to always be in the right position all the time. It was good to see Hightchew come up big in the second half after battling through foul trouble in the first. I think the bigger college court really helps him as the point guard attacking the basket. With him at the 1 and spreading the court it allows him to get to the rim a bit easier for dishes and layups. His aggressive takes and physical play has really rubbed off it seems on his teammates. I believe he is now 7 points away from the exclusive 1,000 point club. Not that he would ever put individual accomplishments ahead of the team; however, it's got to be exciting for the young man to be that close to a big accomplishment. The ohhhh's and ahhhh's really came out when Seibert blocked the CCH shot in the first half on the low block. It had to be one of the better blocks of the year. All in all, it might have been the best game I've seen NCC play all year. They continue to be on a nice roll.

Is there a link?

Amen TAC!!! Exactly my point in the post prior to this. Seems they can dish it out, just can't take it. Again, bush league!

I wasn't at the game last night, however, I agree with the many posters that state that they haven't liked UC since Tony Yates did this back in the 80's against UK. HHS - 81 Dayton - 27 and HHS - 98 Bellevue - 28 I wasn't at these two games either, however, does anyone have an issue with HHS running up the score on these two schools? I'm not a fan of this type of basketball either...... Bush League.
