We have had our fair share of injury scares and sickness!! Knock on wood!!

Disciplinary and Alexis Mayes was sick.

Played without Jaynice Stoval or Alexis Mayes and only gave up 5 field goals and only one in the second half.

Conference?? Who all does that consist of?

I don't know how these rankings came about this??? Chemistry??? Even returning all five starters doesn't guarantee good chemistry!! This is high school and new additions and or contributors can always add and change those dynamics..... its a good start and all the top teams in the 9th return tons of talent that's why they're at the top of the region preseason! With that said.....

I don't think it predicts H.C. vs. Holmes in the 9th region final?? I think it does say there's a ton of talent in the 9th and it could be an early matchup in the regional tournament for a H.C. vs. Highlands or a Holmes vs. Highlands either way the only thing that would be more exciting for an early regional tournament matchup is if any of the three matched up in the finals! Preferably Lady Dawgs vs. Either of the other two!!!

Holmes was at times a little sloppy but FAST really get up and down the floor and create a lot of turnovers! Minus starting center

Holmes 93- Hamilton 42

:popcorn: Almost put my popcorn away prematurely!!!

In on the court news.... Hannah Tubbs has been cleared for action and the Bulldogs were at full strength last night! A ton of depth on the floor with seven starters(3 from previous schools) on one team!

Thought about enrolling her elsewhere to get varsity time? Newport, Bellevue??

And for the record I am glad my daughter kicked the cheerleading habit and picked up the basketball again!! (Thanks Hannah Tubbs) and I am all for doing what's best for each individual young man or lady!!

And there will always be exceptions!! Funny to think about Lebron sitting on some middle school bench in Akron huh!

UNBREAKABLE! !

I have no problem with the more talented girls playing up at all! And my opinion is based on not just physical skill set but socially a 7th or 8th grader is not and IMO not ready to interact with young ladies that are socially and physically more advanced! In Ohio like many other states you must be a freshman to participate at a varsity level and it does not hurt these young ladies in recruitment whatsoever!! A talented 8th grader will be a talented freshman and at that point IMO should be able to participate at whatever their skill level or school team needs dictate! With that being said I also know what it's like when your child has a bad experience from a bad middle school coach! My daughter's first experience with basketball was in the 6th grade and the coach took the job for the stipend check and it was a horrible experience for her! She quit basketball and became a cheerleader the following year with no intention of ever playing the game again! ( tough pill to swallow)As a parent I wanted her to move up give it another chance but it wasn't my place to ask or demand that. If she were good enough at the time they would have moved her up with out my interference or influence. So I think it comes down to whether your daughter is physically and mentally capable of handling a move up but i'm for doing it in moderation move skilled MS children up to a freshman/JV level and see how they fare there but do it for the child not the parent and if the kid is good enough they will find their way to top!

Shocking!! But I absolutely agree with this post!!!!

Nice!!

And I seen it last night with my own eyes.... Gulley is the fastest girl on the team!

She suffered a lateral tear in her meniscus during the aau season but she's only a couple weeks out from getting back at it. Johnson and Tubbs play 2 different positions and I would look for Perkins to fill Hannah's void with some offense. Not that Johnson can't score because athletically she doesn't have many peers but Parker and Mayes can stretch the D with their shot and although Johnson is a superb defender and can get to the rim at will her shot isn't there yet.

As it stands today its Stoval Harris Parker Englemon Gulley Look for Tubbs to replace parker when healthy and expect Mayes to big off the bench. Mayes is small for a big and too slow for a guard but will be a solid contributor!

She is the biggest, strongest and fastest on the floor in most cases!
