I found this posted from last years Middle School thread. Jason Steffen (commissioner@NKMSAA.com) Is he still the commissioner? It's a shame the only middle school updates we get (scores/schedules/etc) is here on BGP's. Once again BGP's saves the day!

I spoke with a Boone Admin that was in attendance last night and I asked him: Where is the band? Where are the cheerleaders? Students? He had no idea. Perhaps they all forgot there was a game? I think that played into the game as well. It was an uninspiring game/atmosphere in my opinion, at least the first three quarters anyway. Got to give some credit to the Miller kid for NCC who played some very solid defense on McQueary. I think the only time he scored was when Miller was out of the game or switched on a pick. I didn't think NCC got the ball into McDonald enough last night. There were times when he was open and they didn't pass it in and then there were times where they rotated the ball back to the other side before he got a chance to post up. I was on the NCC side (behind NCC bench) and didn't hear the fan, however, if they were directing the comments towards the refs, I could see where they could be upset. Again, not a lot of consistency with the calls, on both sides!

Agreed. If we are doing predictions, I'll say T - 82, NCC 66

The thread says top freshman players..... but the title says top freshman guards. If we are including all Freshman in this thread, if there is a better Freshman in NKY than Drew McDonald from NCC I'd like to see him. I haven't seen a ton of HS games this year, however, I've caught a few of NCC games and he is legit. He has some great low post moves and isn't afraid to bang. I believe, going into the Newport game the other night (when he didn't play a lot because of the score) he was averaging around 19 - 20 points a game and grabbing his share of rebounds.

It should be interesting to see how the freshman McDonald does tonight. He's been a stud all year in leading the Breds and has done well against the HC and Brossart big men. I'm thinking he'll go 20 (pts.) and 8 (rebs) tonight. He's got some sweet post moves and uses both hands extremely well for such a young player. I would like to see Miller be a little more aggressive on the offensive end. He's got a nice outside shot and can take the ball to the basket. I would like to see him be freed up a little bit and use his athleticism. If NCC (Highchew) can handle the pressure, it should be an interesting game.

Very funny Clyde. :laugh: In speaking with her, she did have offers from 'bigger' schools/conferences and even 'more' local schools but like nkyvbfan stated it's about the right fit for the athlete and student. She loved the fact the university is located in the city, loved the coaches, the players, the dorms and the Horizon League conference (for the most part a bus conference so her family and friends could continue to see her home and away matches). She also said the coaches made her feel like she could a bigger fish in a smaller pond as opposed to being just another fish if she opted to go to one of those 'bigger' schools. Cleveland State does have a very good volleyball program that finished 2nd in the Horizon League (21-7) and lost in the Conference Tournament finals (http://www.csuvikings.com).

2013 Outisde Hitter for Notre Dame Academy Taylor Angel accepted a full scholarship to play volleyball at Cleveland State University of the Horizon League over the weekend. After speaking with the family last night, Taylor said she wanted to go to CSU because she really liked the coach, the fact that he has been there for 13 years and wasn't going to leave, the girls were great to her on her two visits, they always have a very good team, the dorms were awesome and that she liked the city atmosphere. Congratulations Taylor on a wonderful accomplishment and Good Luck with the Vikings!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Union Raiders 8th grade beat Olmstead last evening 50 - 12 at Ryle. I think that was the final.... The Raiders had a big night running the ball behind Lex McGregor, Mitchell Bateman, Nick Townsend and Vincent Jarvis. They move on to play in Lexington this Saturday afternoon.

Well, when the scores were 15 -13 (3rd) and 16 (4th) all in the third and fourth sets, I would consider that closer than the scores indicated. Just my thought. We'll see what happens if they meet up in State.

Any detailed information about this game? Scoring plays? I heard it was a turnover filled night for the Raiders.

The most recent match between the two schools, the scores were 24-26, 23-25, 25-18, 25-19 and sets three and four were closer than the score indicated and those scores were still close. Honestly, I believe Assumption, Sacred Heart and NDA are the top three teams in the State this year and Sacred Heart is already out losing 22, 22 to Assumption in the District Final. NDA, in my opinion, will be fine against Assumption in the State Semi Final if it plays out that way. You have to beat the best to be the best and based on history (and State and National polls) Assumption is the best. We'll see what happens. Let's just hope it does.

Union Raiders (7th grade) play Anderson County tonight (Tuesday) at Beechwood at 7pm. Union Raiders (8th grade) play North Olmstead Wednesday night at Ryle High School at 7pm

Any interest or is everyone just waiting for the likely Saturday final of NDA v. St. Henry Thursday's match-ups should be: 6pm NDA v. Holy Cross 7:30pm Ryle v. St. Henry Here is the link with regard to the volleyball regional tournament that is this week. http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20111015/SPT0302/310150052/Volleyball-tourneys-approach?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Sports

http://media.digitalsports.com/80095/files/2011/09/KY-State-2011-Playoffs-Brackets-Update-1.pdf I found this on the internet..... However, there are no teams listed. I want to say I heard the Union Raiders were in Region 3, but I can't confirm. I believe the 7th grade Union Raiders beat CHCA (Cincy Hills Christian Academy) over the weekend 28-6. I think they are like 8-1 or something like that this year are are an offensive powerhouse.

Anyone able to provide udpates on how things are going today? http://www.golfstatresults.com/public/leaderboards/player/static/player3016.html It doesn't look like this gets updated very quickly or they are already behind. I know the times are central time, but I'm looking and some of the boys have tee times over an hour old and no update. I didn't know if anyone had more updated information on how it is going down there today.

As always, paNDA captures the images of the event perfectly!!! NDA Freshman won in three as well!! Great matches, Great environment, Great cause, Great crowd.....

The Annual Playing for a Purpose match is this Thursday at Thomas More College between Notre Dame Academy and St. Henry. Thoughts? Predictions? Is this game being broadcast on the radio/internet? I believe they have been in the past. Are these the top two teams in the 9th region..... Again? Sellout at TMC? How much does TMC hold?

The LVIT begins this weekend in Louisville...... Are the Teams, Pools, Brackets posted anywhere? Who are the favorites? What are everyone's thoughts? Predictions?

What about the Union Jaguars and the Union Raiders? What leagues are they in? How have they been doing? Results?
