Chatty Cat

Boone Co was unable to play tonight due to no school today. Class act by the Panthers!

No, it was not nearly a decade ago. More like 5 or 6. There was a thread on BGP at the time. There could be more that I am not privy to as well.

I can think of one player in particular from Ludlow. However, it has been a few years. Not sure how far back this is going.

FWIW, the coach from RA Jones 8th grade team was ejected on a double technical versus Ludlow on Saturday. There was no assistant coach. A parent from the stands coached the RA girls for the final quarter.

Ludlow won 65-28.

Ludlow is currently up 39-12 at the half.

Traffic stop in front of Riverside Market on Elm St. From what I read on social media, the suspect is from Ludlow and was pronounced dead at UC Medical Center. The officer is thankfully in stable condition.

There is an 8th grade "B" team from Campbell Co playing in the small school division.

Ludlow 8th grade remains undefeated with wins over Dayton and RA Jones. They are doing this without one of their best players from the last two seasons, Adriana Lovell is only playing with the JV and Varsity teams. Other girls on this team are getting great experience and having to "step up" to fill her shoes. It is a benefit for all involved.

In the video posted from the recent game against Ludlow, students from Cov Cath absolutely leave their seats to gather near the student inbounding. Once the ball in inbounded, you can see the students returning to their seats. I assume that is what is being referred to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=gSjhEABuGmE&app=desktop

Sinon and Garfunkel, "The Concert in Central Park" and Peter Gabriel, "A Secret World Live" are two of my favorites.

We also enjoyed The Wild Egg for breakfast/brunch. It was very good!

Tea Bayou is what is was! I had the name wrong. The food was excellent!

Two places that I found this summer.....Montana Grill on Scottsville Road is a pretty good steak house. Teavana is "downtown" and had excellent gumbo.

Ludlow 8th grade girls beat Bellevue (Erlanger Scrimmages), Tichenor, Campbell County (assume B-team since they are in the small school division) and Sharp. All margins have been greater than 15 points and probably pushing at least a 20 point margin in all games so far. As 7th graders this team went undefeated, but their best guard is only playing varsity this year. It has been great to see other girls step up.

I think you may be jumping the gun a little bit. This is just the early signing period. I expect Transy, UC Clermont and other D3/NAIA schools to sign more 2016s as their senior season progresses. Also Geoffrey Thornburg from Ludlow was a 2014 who committed to Pikeville.

Some players will choose JUCO because it allows them to become eligible for the MLB draft well before NCAA does. As mentioned above, some kids need the extra time to mature. Some kids also need the time to get their grades in order if they did not do so in high school. Many reasons JUCO may be chosen, these young men need to find the school that is the right fit socially, athletically and academically.

14-13 Ludlow after 3

There is a new coaching staff in place and more girls in the program than previous years. Ludlow had a very good middle school season last year with their 7th and 8th grade programs and these girls are now moving up into the high school program. I know there are some older high school girls playing this year who haven't played in the past few years. Because of this, they are able to field 6th, 7th, 8th, freshman, JV and Varsity programs. It's great to see these kind of numbers associated with the girls program. Onward and upward!

Off the top of my head, there are three seniors at Ludlow who have played 3 sports their entire high school career: Matthew Gibson, Michael Camerena and Nathan Wyrick. All three play football, basketball and baseball.

I don't think Ludlow had 10 personal fouls. There were a lot of flags thrown for various reasons for both teams. At times it was ridiculous because i expect better from both teams. Bellevue had quite a few personal fouls as well. And there may have been 10 personal fouls between both teams. Then add in false starts, holding, block in the back, etc.

The stadium was packed. It was great to see so much support for the Panthers!

It is homecoming at Ludlow and there will be large crowds. If this is a close game, the Panthers might pull one out. BTW, if you haven't been to a game at Ludlow; homecoming is the one to go to. I've been to many other homecomings and Ludlow's is one of the best :-)

Go Panthers!

I saw him pitch today for Team PBR at WKU. Had a no hitter through 5 1/3 innings. The relief pitcher did combine for a no hitter against a very good Ironmen Ball Club. He's really good and should be fun to watch these next couple years.
