I think most fans want to see Augusta/St. Patrick final. Plus technicals called in the Nicholas County game are not revelant for this post. No one was ejected or suspended and all are playing in the district tournament. Go Saints!!

Wow. A little jealous of St. Patrick. You are an expert even with regards to our basketball and their scheduling. If you were so interested in the game, you should have been in attendance. Mason County coaches were there. Maybe you should give them a call.

St. Patrick’s athletic director was there and so was the radio station from Maysville. St. Patrick did nothing wrong. If they did, it would have stopped with her there. She does not tolerate unsportsmanship. Maybe wftm should broadcast it again. Listen to it closely. Running clock was stopped multiply times when it shouldn’t have.

Another fact in the game, Silver Grove's coach didn’t call a time out the entire game.

Look at the scoreboard. Bellevue beat them by 49, Villa Madonna 46, Calvary Christian 53 and 67, Robertson 49 and 55, and St. Patrick 42 and 56. So I don't understand why St. Patrick is getting criticized for this game.

He did pull his starters. I was there. He played his bench most of the game. The kid who broke the school record, broke his own record. The score could have been a lot worse than what it was.

He was able to practice until the transfer paperwork was sent to the khsaa. After that, he could not practice until he was ruled eligible.

It didn't matter who drew for St. Patrick. They received the last pill in the bottle for each draw at the All A meeting today. If memory serves right a couple of years ago they played Silver Grove in the All A.

St. Patrick was not the only school against it. Last year it was a 2-2 vote when it was discussed at the ad meeting.

Well whats really nice about the SAINTS is that they have been in the weight room and have dedicated their summer to Coach Taylor and his philosophy...... True they lose 5 seniors but they lose uncommitted seniors. Addition by Subtraction. This team will get better simply because they had poor senior leadership this past year..... Coach Taylor and his staff have impeccable experience and basketball knowledge and those older guys were way too used to the old system...... I would be willing to bet that with their Solid big man (Sticklen) and much improved and invested PG (Bauer) they will be a tough wrangle. Plus Freshman Swolsky has grown to 6'4" and lets not forget the Burton kid who averaged 18 ppg over 4 games before becoming ill. He lost weight and step and never fully recovered during the latter part of the season. Bailey Jodrey was rumored out for the majority of the summer while they went on a tear. Heard They have 3 transfers adding depth and bounce. I look for Taylor and crew to run platoon style defense and offense 5 on 5 off every 4 minutes or so with Bauer and Sticklen. They can go big, small, quick, defense based and if they figure out their shooting woes....... watch out. They have 2 lock down defenders on their ball club in McCall and Jodrey that would run through a wall for Coach Taylor. look for Bauer to really distribute the ball for about 8 apg and 10 ppg and 2 T/Opg. If they nail another ball handler down they will be a top 7 maybe 6 region competitor....

 

Starters rumored:

PG Bauer - projected avg - 10ppg

SG Burton - projected avg - 12 ppg

SF McCall - projected avg - 10 ppg

SF Jodrey - projected avg - 10 ppg

F/C Sticklen - projected avg - 22 ppg

 

Reserves

Transfer 1 - ?

Transfer 2 - ?

Transfer 3 - ?

6'4" Swolsky - projected as MUST watch freshman - 8 ppg

6'0" Thompson - Chips in 4 ppg

5'8" Cress - chips in 2 ppg

As a parent of one of the seniors you are talking about, I am appalled at your comments. You have no clue as to what you are talking about and remember these are kids not NBA players who make millions. Get a life and talk positive about these kids. Coach Taylor expected a lot from them. They did a lot for the team last year and they will be missed. They had leadership skills and were committed to the program. So you owe every senior on that team from last year an apology.
