Hmmm....that is good on the road at Madison Central, right?

Given how MC handled Ballard and Trinity at home, this is a heck of a road win for the Colonels. Really impressive. Get home safely, Boys.

Really, really impressive road win.

Wow, what a great game. LCA is clicking on all cylinders, win or lose here.

Composure continues to be an issue.

This has to be the most likely scenario.

Midwest United is not a CovCath folk. Please don't paint with a broad brush, not fair to the rest of us that get caught up in that comment.

So did the 12th.

They were named Co-Players of the Year in the 9th. Both eligible for Mr Basketball, and likely both will be Top 5 in voting.

The 18 (i think) finalists were named. Taylor is one of the 18 -- with that many named, obviously not a surprise he is included from his region as a Co-Player of the Year.

What criteria would you be using if you had a vote?

I will be SHOCKED if Taylor is a finalist when they are named.

This and the Lafayette win are crazy impressive. They are clearly finding their stride. Their game at Trinity this weekend will be fun.

I am SHOCKED at the current Poll results. :eek:

LCA opens their BRUTAL week by laying the smack down AT Lafayette? Really impressive.

Fun game to watch, and closer than the final score. CJ has an unbelievable all-around game, he is so much fun to watch. The Niece kid for SK is REALLY GOOD, and he shoots the eyes out of the ball. He is going to be fun to watch develop.

Unfortunate as heck for a deserving young man, if that comes to fruition. Both are fine players, and appear to be great young men. Both have had wonderful careers, and both have earned a free education. My understanding is there is a lot of mutual respect between the two.

Congrats to the Aqua Birds, that is a really big deal. All good things must come to an end.

Simon Kenton is shooting a crazy high percentage , kudos to them. Have some awesome shooters, and they are getting good looks against CovCath's 2-3 zone.

IHM is in Anderson, less than a mile from Anderson High School. Are you thinking of the IHM in Burlington? Two different schools. I think the kid is a McHale, but I could be wrong.

Okay @Cardsrule1972, here is a look at Walton-Verona and Collins as of February 13th: Collins 0-4 versus Top 20 opponents. Included in that is a 31 point loss to Ballard. W-V is 2-3 versus Top 20 opponents (which doesn't include a ROAD win at Campbell Co., who was ranked at the time of that game). Included in that is a 13 point loss to Ballard. They have played 7 common opponents: Collins is 4-3 with a total scoring margin of 29 points (4.14 per game). Walton-Verona is 6-2 with a a total scoring margin of 62 points (7.75 per game). Collins is 7-2 within the region, including a 3 point home loss to Oldham Co. W-V is 10-1 within the region, including a 2 point road loss to Oldham Co. You reference the football players missing when Collins dropped an 11 point game to Gallatin Co., but don't reference W-V has played nearly all of their season missing a HUGE piece of their puzzle. Even with that, they have two wins over Gallatin Co. by 20 and 4. This will all be sorted out on the court, as it should be, but you can't honestly look at these two resumes and say that Collins has had the better year, nor is the better team "on paper".

Sorry, but there is nothing about Collins' resume (including their 1-4 mark in February) that tells me they are better than Walton Verona. What would you point to in order to support your point that Collins is better than they are? Luckily, it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it will get settled (along with Oldham Co.) on the court in the 8th Region Tournament.

As an aside, how about the week that Lexington Christian has scheduled for themselves to finish the regular season: at #10 Lafayette, at #11 Bryan Station, and at #2 Trinity. However, the game of the week has to be Friday night in Richmond, #3 CovCath traveling to take on #5, and white-hot, Madison Central. That should be a heck of a way to get yourself prepared for the post-season.

St Paul, after beating Pius in the Semis, beat St Henry by 16 in the Championship Game. Something to be said for a team gelling at the right time. They now play St Joe's Cold Spring tonight in the Peter & Paul tourney, then the other group of Pius kids in the SOAS Championship on Monday night.
