Fort Thomas Schools ‏@FTSchools 14m14 minutes ago LadyBirds game on Friday against Holy Cross has been cancelled. New date TBD. #GoBirds RCC9, whats up with that? Somebody have a bunch of kids sick??? Somebody turn the heat off in the gym???

CAL just beat Eastern , who is on your list. SK beat CAL, although it was a very close game.

Brossart has 7 losses. I bet HC had kids out sick or injured. This has to be an anomaly!

Please delete.

Central has a pretty good team. Very athletic.

Central just beat Manual who is on your list. SK beat Central by double digits.

What part of her primary sport is softball is difficult for you to understand? And you are right, she WAS a good basketball player. She is focused on SB now.

Quarter and time?

It has taken 4 years to get these schemes completely in place. They could not be completely implemented with previous personnel. I'm surprised that competing with SK for the last 5 years, that you don't notice the transition? You seem totally unaware that 5 years ago, SK was a halfcourt program.

Expectations for SK coming in to the season by folks outside the program were low as a consequence of graduating 7 seniors. Lost in that fact by outsiders is the fact that SK goes 12 deep in their rotation, so they still had substantial experience coming back. Combined with strong feeder programs and a key transfer, you have a team that has reloaded. Insiders expected this team to be strong, just not this quickly. This coaching staff has both D1 playing and coaching experience and is teaching schemes used in D1 programs making it a magnet for those with next level aspirations. Most years, Boone, New Cath and NDA would be top 20 teams.

12 - 0

I have no first hand knowledge of this game as I was not in attendance. I have however been in attendance for some of Walton's and NDA games. I would say that Coach Foust and Coach Clinkenbeard really push the envelope with some of their behaviors on the bench. Yet , these coaches are held in high esteem and their behaviours are dismissed as an expression of passion for their teams. I sense a double standard here.

Hedger from Dixie, Olmstead from SK. No question, NKy was shafted in this list!

We will all find out how good Holmes , Highlands and Holy Cross are come regional tournament time. Debate here until you are blue in the face, it will resolve nothing. Just admire your teams and enjoy the ride as long as it lasts.

I often wonder if AAU ball really makes kids better? Are they really learning useful skills? Would they be better off going to instructional camps?

Girls played well today. They looked a lot fresher than they did at Edmonson. I think they are advancing the ball dribbling a little too much. I'd like to see more of the half court passes to get 2 on 1 opportunities. 2nd half defense was suffocating. I thought Meier was underused today.

From the source.

Messages were left on Coach Perkins cell phone. The calls were not returned.

Is Tad Morgan back at Ryle? I thought he transferred???

I believe Holmes coaching transition may have hindered communication. My understanding is that several messages regarding scheduling were left at the middle school where this coach has a day job.

Tired legs!

Any word on tournament awards? MVP, all tournament team etc? Thanks!

I'm bracing for 10 pages of posts now! Generally, Girls Basketball is more "Gentlemanly" than football. Smack talk is generally not done in this sport and competitors tend to be a bit more friendly. This is especially true since high school competitors are often AAU team mates.

With only 5 out about 30 programs voting this is not enough a sample size to take seriously. Next week, when everyone is back from out of town tournaments, there should be more coaches voting, then we will have something to talk about!

The fact that Harris is waiting until after the Mr. Football announcement to announce his decision could be an indicator that his choice is not UK.
