The Truth About Sports Scholarships
I agree with the sentiment of the article, but in one capacity it is a smidge misleading. There are 6 sports in Division 1 that are either "full ride" or "no ride", no partials. Those six are: Men's Football and Basketball, and Women's Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, and Gymnastics.

Who would win? Thomas More College or Covington Catholic?
These hypothetical threads about who would beat who are as silly as a beanie with a whirly-bird top, but, if you don't get fawning over THIS CovCath team, you set a mighty high bar for fawning.

Thanks, I actually thought it was his brother Lance's son, appreciate the clarification.

Signs that the "Sweet 16" is Thriving or Declining
Mine were $19 each on Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday. Section 42 or Section 25. Bought at the window.

AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
Wouldn't make my list either, two separate posts, one pointing out Massie had two rings (which is impressive), one that AJ would be on a very short list for greatest all around CovCath athlete. No, of course not, Massie wouldn't be on that list, but his accomplishment was worth mentioning.

AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
In the discussion and VERY high on the list. VERY HIGH.

AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
Not a star, per se, in either sport, but Ryan Massie has a Soccer State Championship and a Basketball State Championship -- both single-class State Championship sports. Hugely impressive.

You're the perfect person to address this as a 40 year veteran -- what is different? Why is it not the same any longer? Thanks Tiger!

Signs that the "Sweet 16" is Thriving or Declining
4 Tickets each game -- $76 x 3 games = $228 Parking each game -- $15 x 3 games = $45 Concessions / Ice cream each game -- $30 x 3 games = $90 Over $360 and we didn't attend the opening round game. That is real money, and I wouldn't dream of doing that if my school wasn't it. I don't care how much fun the environment is, how good the ice cream is, or good the basketball is, I'm not dropping $360 over 3 days (not to mention hotel or gas) if I don't have a dog in the fight.

Covington Catholic 73 Scott County 55 (Sweet 16 Championship)
As is Pick Central, whom they also beat.

AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
If that is correct, that stat is way over the line of being absurdly good. I mean, historically good if so. AND, couldn't happen to a better, kinder, more mature kid. #Winner

Covington Catholic/Scott County (Sweet 16 Championship) Predictions
I've now watched the last two games of both of these teams, beginning to end, and i think CovCath wins by double digits. That said, I think it will be a whale of a Final.

Covington Catholic/Fern Creek (Sweet 16 Quarterfinals) Updates
Yes. To no avail, as of yet.

Covington Catholic/Fern Creek (Sweet 16 Quarterfinals) Updates
The guy who didn't win a big trophy has 16 at the half against a very good Fern Creek team focused completely on stopping him. Looks so good, couldn't be happier for him.
