Dixie vs. Holy Cross round 2! The Red Colonels travel to Covington Holy Cross for a 7:30 tip. Dixie will finally have Mitch Bolin 6'8 back in action tonight. If Holy Cross thought Dixie was big the first time they played this year in the Ashland Invitational late December, then they will think they are GIANT tonight. Matt Isbel 6'4, who also missed the first game, will play in this one as well. The Indians are coming off an impressive 81-57 beatdown of Lloyd and will be looking for revenge tonight. Who wins, and why?

Sorry, I had my little one last night. Didn't get on after the game. Schreck had a great game for Dixie... Ryle could not match up with him. Rabe had 7 points on just 5 shots taken. Isbel didn't just hang on the rim... he followed up a miss high above the rim, grabbed it with 2 hands and slammed it with AUTHORITY! He received a T for pulling himself up on the rim, in essence doing a chin-up. It was worth it Story of the game was Coach Chevy's subbing... he gave significant minutes to several JV players. I guess he thought the game was never in doubt, as they were in, playing minutes in the 1st half. Against the better teams these kids don't see the floor and its a totally different game for Dixie. Mitch Bolin returns tonight against Holy Cross.

All but 1...

Are you sure about that? Have you even seen Williams play? Have you even seen Henry play (or just watched that video?)

LOL I'm sure the Ryle players appreciate that.

Congrats to Ethan!

If they are all healthy I like South by 10.

I think they are starting to hit a groove, but still have a lot of improvement to go. Rabe should be back after missing the last game (as well as the last quarter of the St Henry game) and a few practices. And Mitch Bolin, while he is back from his hiatus, will be serving the second game of his 2 game suspension (I'm assuming without pay ). I think by the time they get to the Scott County tournament toward the end of this month we will finally see what Dixie has under the hood. The good news is that the 2 football players are back in basketball shape and contributing in stellar fashion.

The Ryle Raiders (4-10) travel to Edgewood tonight to face the Dixie Heights Colonels (9-4) at 7:45. Ryle is coming off a big 58-51 win over Beechwood and also hold a signature win over Newport (61-57) in a game played right before Christmas. Dixie is riding a 6 game winning streak and still waiting to play a game with all their players available and in basketball shape. This game features a battle of teacher (Coach Chevy) and student (McFarland), as David McFarland cut his teeth coaching under the tutelage of Coach Ken Chevalier. Will Coach Chevy be teaching Coach McFarland a few more lessons tonight? Or will Coach McFarland flip the script and pull the upset? Who wins and why?

Congrats Coop! A good kid indeed... great family too!

How does he compare to Williams from Dunbar?

Size?

I have not seen Mason play this year and have no knowledge of Henry. Can someone describe him and his game?

"Graded?"

I believe its a lot of Counties policies that if school is closed for the day, then sports activities are cancelled for that day as well. Really cold can cause schools to be closed because there are lots of little kiddos that have to ride the bus to school and standing outside waiting on said bus, in said cold is not safe.

Is this tonight? Where? I might go to this one.

Ahead of Hillary apparently.

Rankings, ratings, relationships... relations.... "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

As for Avery vs Stockwell, I've seen both play a lot of games... and JR is the better POST player and its not even close if we're talking about a true post player. Avery has super good, raw, athletic ability, but Stockwell puts his back to the basket like Clyde said and goes to work (ala, a poor man's Danny Fortson). Avery gets up and down the floor like a gazelle and jumps out of the gym (2 things Stockwell isn't going to do).

I'll be at the game if they meet again this year. We'll see firsthand.

So much can change between middle school and HS I think its a little silly to go on and on about these kids in these threads. When my kid played middle school ball there were quite a few "next big thing" kids playing then, who do not even play now, as well as those who never kept improving. The Brandon Hattons and CVHs of middle school basketball are rare. These kids need to be focusing extra hard on developing their game on an individual level. A number of these kids are good because of the system they are in, or because the competition isn't so great. And with the AAU change its going to hurt a lot of these kids more than you think its going to help them when they get to HS. Freshman year they will start seeing the much feared "holdbacks" beating up on their kids in AAU again... lol, would love to be able to sit next to some of these parents when their little Johnny ain't quite able to cut the mustard in HS.

Awesome! Congrats CVH!

School board usually will not give the required permission to play on Sunday as well.

Not trying to bust your bubble, but Conner would smash Highlands if they played again. I believe the game you are referring to was just the 2nd game of the year. Conner has had their big improve significantly from that game... and Conner did not put the press on you either. Script definitely gets flipped if they play again.
