At least one of them would have a chance to make it too the finals out of the east if NCC was in the West like Beechwood, now not so much. Get a clue Joe and go back to bed, lol.

I’m sure that district is thrilled with that idea, lol

Brausch is a camel grad, I want to say 77’ or 78’.

Tough program to run considering 6a in NKY. That being said, the cupboard is not bear with some quality underclassmen on the team.

Is Schneider still running winter workouts? Heard someone else might be involved but didn’t recognize the name.

I’m not good at math, but let’s give this a try. Say Ncc had 10 home games per year (overestimate) @ $1,800 per game, that’s $18,000 per year. Let’s say it cost 4,000,000 to re-engineer the Hill. This doesn’t include maintenance or upgrades. At $18,000 per year, it’s 222 seasons of rental fees if there are no increases. Would it be feasible to approach Newport and remodel that field with separate locker rooms, new stands, improved concessions, etc? If Newport would be willing to have the field governed by an independent board to ensure fair use of the facility, it’s a win. These two schools have coexisted for decades, why not proceed in a similar fashion. In no way would I ever want to dictate how a donor wants to use his contribution. I think this option puts the donor(s) in a different light within the community.

A couple years ago it was $1,200 per game. I don’t know the current rate.

The conversation in this thread has expanded to several topics I commented on in post #50. Although there has been talk of go ahead and do it no matter what the Bishop says, it won’t work out that way. It’s irresponsible to take on a project that can add financial harm. Not one of us on here would except the gift of an expensive car if we couldn’t afford the insurance or maintenance. It’s financially irresponsible and you would either sell or not except. Secondly, what’s the health of the feeder schools to ensure longevity? Several grade schools in Newport, Southgate and Fort Thomas have been mentioned, but none have a bulging student population. St Joe in Cold Spring has more then all of them combined. Ncc gets a few students from St Joe but no where near the numbers from past years. More have optioned for CovCath and Brossart for Catholic education. Not trying to stir emotion, it’s a fact. Growth at the southern end of the county will/has made it more difficult for Ncc to obtain those students. Sure, many have made the trip north on 27 to Ncc and still do, but that trend is reversing. I’m all for Ncc benefiting in anyway, but obtaining a sports complex may have missed its window when the option to buy the old Kmart property was passed up in the 70’s. Re-engineering the hill will only increase financial instability of a small private school relying on increased tuition or drain resources from the rest of the diocese to possibly maintain this facility. A maintenance plan will have to be employed to secure a facility of this magnitude. Ncc’s existence is based on catholic education, sports are secondary. It’s a hard pill to swallow for parents who don’t have kids playing sports to have a tuition increase to subsidize sports activities. Again, I wish nothing but the best for Ncc, just trying to point out some of my reservations.

Ok.....crazy! Won’t be close. Cooper by 30.
