Yellow Card

20 turnovers and poor shooting for SK.

Or, great defense, I guess it depends on which side you are watching from.

Unless I am missing something, and I read every word of that brief, while unfortunate, it appears that they handled that situation in the fairest and most equitable way possible.

 

I 100% blame her mother, who knew better, yet allowed it to happen. Unfortunate that the daughter has to pay the price for Mom's mistake.

Agreed. Knowing the mother's background, it's really inexcusable.

I thought her mother was actually a middle school coach, if so, I doubt that this is something that she would have received training on.

To be honest, I doubt that very few know all the rules/bylaws they are supposed to be upholding.

Who's in there district? Not a ninth region guy

Their district is.... Covington Catholic, Holmes, Holy Cross and Beechwood.

I think it's safe to say that the runner-up trophy made it's way to Ft. Thomas.

I believe they will be sitting a minimum of one match.

Congrats to the Cougars!!!

I kept hearing that Ryle was one of the favorites in the 9th. Did they look past this match?

It's been a few years since the Raiders missed out on the Regional Tournament, that year also ended with a first round District loss in PK's at Boone County.

This win gives the #1 seed to Cooper. Two wins came down to a shootout and the win over Boone was 1-0 until Cooper scored in the closing seconds.

The "Thriller" you speak of was the first Regional win for Cooper, 4-2 over St. Henry, probably still the biggest win for the program.

What was the score of this game at the end of regulation, if any.

If the final score is reported correctly, the score at the end of regulation was 1-1.

That makes perfect sense to me. Just surprised to see a team with a 39-0 goal differential not getting more buzz. This weekend should be a very good indicator of where they're at... not mention, with Campbell down, that game could show who the favorite is in the 37th district.

I think you are putting too much emphasis on the goal differential, don't get me wrong, those are some strong numbers. The current SOS is not working in your favor, upcoming matches will help this number. Another thing to look at are games you "should" win. In terms of the Maher Rankings, if you were only favored to beat Mason Co. by a couple of goals, the result the other day will help you in their rankings.

Beat a few teams that are ranked higher than you and I think you will start seeing the rankings closer to what your expectations are.

The final 4 from the South Regional will be for sure #5 Kentucky, #7 Nevada, #11 Loyola of Chicago (who Kentucky played this year) and either #16 UMBC or #9 Kansas State. Unreal

UK has not played Loyola of Chicago this season.

Aside from Covington Catholic and Cooper, yes.

There... I made a much needed correction.

Curious as to how many rebounds Runion had. He became the 33rd Districts all time leading rebounder last week with 505 rebounds for his career. Impressive feat for a player barely 6”. Young man has a desire to go get the ball.

Very impressive numbers, maybe he became the all time leading rebounder for the Jags?

Agree there is no easy fix. Moving all of Boone into the 8th is an option but would that include St Henry? The other idea that has floated around for years is moving all Campbell Co schools to the 10th. The 10th would stretch from Dayton to Robertson Co with the current 10th schools farther south moving to the 16th and other regions.

Not just St Henry, what about Heritage?

NKAC coaches meeting was this morning. I was told Kunkel and Fredrick Co-player of year as voting ended in a tie as voted on by D1 coaches which includes, Cooper, CovCath, Conner, Ryle, Boone County, Campbell County, Scott, Dixie Heights, and Simon Kenton. (you can't vote for your own player)

I think a tie is fitting.

If your list is correct... Did a school not vote, or did someone other than AK or CF receive a vote?

Facts are Facts!

1- C.J. plays the hardest schedule in state

2- C.J. has better season averages

3- C.J. stats against like opponents not even close

4- CJ was better in combined head to head.

5. C.J. has one regional loss. Kunkel has two

As foolish as some of your comments have been... you completely lost me with #5.

No issues with any transfers that are being done during the off season.

I don't see how they can be allowed to transfer mid-season and play for their new school.

A HHS Girls Soccer Thread.... Never fails to disappoint!!!

Boone 3-1

Cooper 3-1

Conner 1-3

Ryle 1-3

I don't think they would since Boone beat them earlier in the year, too.

Cooper won the first meeting, it was also a close one.

It sounds like SK shot the ball very well @ColonelMike; and got a good home win over Cooper, I'm not sure that I would go as far as vindication against top-tier teams, and proof positive that the Pioneers will be a contender.

Now, if Cooper had been at full strength, I think your comments might be warranted.

29th

Oldham,South, North, KCD

30th

Anderson, Frankfort, Franklin Western Hills

31

Shelby, Collins, Eminence, Henry

32

Gallatin Owen Carroll Trimble

I know this moves 4 teams out and they could make their own 4 team district in the 9th. Yes it makes the 9th huge but it makes it better for all the teamswuth travel, competition, expenses etc. However this will never happen. I would not be concerned with size of regions and districts as it helps in to many other areas for kids. Which are the most important anyway.

So you fixed the 8th, assuming you find a place for Spencer Co. The 4 you move out make their own district in the 9th? Do you see no issue with putting the existing 9th region schools into the other 3 districts?

How many schools are currently in the 10th?

I know the 9th is the most logical solution since closest mostly but with Scott and Campbell Co in the 10th not sure you can rule it out if number of teams makes more sense.

They should be with the NKY schools anyways so they should figure something out to achieve that. SK in the 8th is silly.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that SK being in the 8th makes no sense. I am just saying that moving them to the 9th is not a simple solution and moving them to the 10th might not be any better than their current situation.

There are 4 public schools in Boone County, they play in the same District... The 3 public schools in Kenton County are not even in the same Region. :ohbrother:

The 31st is currently 5 teams right? Owen, Gallatin, Carroll, Eminence, and Henry. Move SK to the 9th. Take Owen out of 31st and into the 32nd. Problem solved. This makes too much sense to actually happen.

I don't think just moving SK to the 9th works, 21 schools might be a little crowded.

Thanks for the clarification.

About as much clarity as was provided in Post #9?

It does when it's a 22pt per game guy and your 2 best defensive guys.

If you are missing almost half of your scoring and rebounding, and as you say, the 2 best defensive guys... maybe this team has more depth than several people think.
