Yes, so from the bracket I seen NCC will get the first round bye and another weekend off.

It’s a tough situation for all in involved. They cancelled their final regular season game. There were rumblings that Bellevue was going to cancel this even game prior to NCC having a positive test. I don’t envy his position, but agree with you on how he worded it, passing the blame around a bit. Either way I feel for the Bellevue kids, tough season and tough ending. They battled through a lot this year between low numbers and injuries.

LCA 35 vs Pikeville 13 Letcher Co 18 vs Paintsville 17 Walton 40 vs Holy Cross (Ville) 28 Beechwood 45 vs NCC 0 Wow! 😮

Final from Thursday night at Newport HS. Congrats to the Breds on Senior Night.

Any word if Pikeville will pick up another regular season game? Tough way to end their regular season if not.

Long game... 3HRs. But NCC offense really opened up tonight, very balanced attack.

This will be the year the Greendevils regain the Paddle.

Also will be streamed on Ludlow HS Facebook page.

New Cath’s defense has held opponents to an Average of 9 points a game. I think they keep Newborn & Ludlow in check and get the win.

The few teams that played this past weekend had continued with acclimation and practice over the last few weeks with hopes that approval finally came through. Once it did they were already acclimated and ready to play actual games.

Another good night in the rushing game for the Breds. Added a lil more this week in the passing game, which should continue to get better. Holy Cross has to find a way to get McLendon the ball more, 2 catches and only a couple special teams opportunities was no where near enough.

NCC’s passing game will probably not get to the level of last season. But I do expect it to pick up as the season continues, Herndon has a strong arm, also still a possibility Buddy Atkins the transfer from Bellevue will suit up for NCC this year. With a limited off season I think the passing game is going to be a work in progress. Good news is the running game with Ackerson & Runyon should help carry them through the first half of the season. NCC’s defense is athletic at all positions, they will have a lot to prove this week against McClendon at WR for HC. Since they didn’t have to worry about much of a passing game last week. I’ll take NCC by a 2-3 possessions similar to their score against Walton last week, led by another Big week in the running game.

Great night for Coach Herbst and the Greendevils. Tied 8-8 at the half and they turned it in the second half. Jordan Marksberry is a beast. 3 Rushing TD & 1 Punt Return TD. He deserves to get some looks by colleges this season, was close to the top of the state in scoring last year and should be again this year. He hit the weight room hard this off season and is up to 6’ 200lb and still kept his speed. Good luck to the Greendevils the rest of the way!

They will continue with Fall sports.

Ok, so a group of kids go play a baseball game at a local park? No umps, just playing ball. No difference in the activity if we’re just talking about concerns over spreading the virus. Once again, not mad at the decision, just not sure this should be a call made by the KHSSA. Either way I’m happy there is still hope for a season for these kids. Although the 8 week recommendation from the CDC that can’t our today probably won’t help.

The issues were all related around crowds. No different than what’s going on at any grocery store. I’m not saying stopping the KHSAA games was the wrong decision , I’m just saying telling them what to do in their free time is out of bounds IMO. If that’s the case any player who goes to the grocery, a gym, church, or around any other crowd shouldn’t play when they resume by this logic.

Any reason why you feel that way ? I’m not looking to argue, just looking to see if I’m missing something other than the obvious concerns of the virus. But in that case I’m of the side that says take precautions practice hygiene etc but the world hasn’t shut down. I just feel if that’s the only reason, the KHSAA isn’t the ones qualified to be making those decisions outside their games/teams/etc.

I was told KHSAA has sent out a memo stating any players playing “sand lot” games where an umpire is involved and payments being made, those players will not be eligible to return to school ball. Which is in direct response I understand to some venues offering places for kids to come play. Obviously making the venues/ballparks a few bucks I’m sure. While I’m excited to hear they are at hopeful they will resume play this season, I really feel this is over stepping their bounds. If the KHSAA is in a dead period I would think kids should be eligible to do whatever their parents see fit. Thoughts? Am I looking at this wrong?

NewCath will return 3 starters on offense a couple other who played a role. Defense will return 4 starters and the same one or two more who played in certain packages last season. Lost a large senior class of 15-16 players. Cupboard isn’t empty but lack of depth may show a bit more.

Thanks Ken Morgan for the updates! Another great battle on The Hill! Hopefully getting everyone healthy has the Breds ready for district time !

From my understanding NCC hasn’t played a single game this season without at least 2 of their pre season starters and sometimes 3 of their starters missing from the lineup. Mullikin And Jefferson missed up until Christmas or later, Pangallo & Howard have missed a several of games each, & Ile’s is now out with injury.

Great game tonight!

Take out the Roger Bacon game with Corey Kiner (who no one has stopped) and take out scores given up by the JV in blowouts, the NCC starting defense has only given up 46 points in the other 11 games. The Defense doesn’t get all the credit it deserves, because the offense can be so explosive. On the other side of the ball, NCC has played the last 3+ games without their biggest target Caleb Jefferson, getting him back could be huge! Should be a great game Friday night!
