Oh well. 20-0 free throw advantage second half. Good day.

The Golden Boys get favored, period, no matter who they play.

I’d like to agree.

Ask anybody who grew up and went to Newport.

I won’t disagree, but people expect it and are looking for it before the game even starts. It’s been this way for years. When I played it was this way. Even folks before me will tell you.

He broke the kids ankles and made him look bad so it HAD to be a foul. Plus you can’t do those things to the NKY favorites.

Newport doesn’t get ignored and hasn’t for years, in any sport. But it’s something Newport folks have learned to expect.

Phantom charge, just a snippet of one bad call. Twitter

So a T for saying something to the student section? Must have been harsh. Joke of a call as were most of the charges. It was expected though, good day.

I was in perfect position when he got the T, I didn’t see anything said. Could have been under his breath but I couldn’t understand what happened. As for why he sat, a rule was put in place by the school, that if a player received a technical, they must sit the rest of that game. Stupid rule IMO. It is what it is. The Golden Boys won and that’s really all that matters.

Let’s not pretend like Thelen and Mayer weren’t getting chippy either folks. Or pretend like Thelen did get away with what looked like a punch in a scrum in the floor. And yes, Harding sat because a rule had been put in, not sure by who, but if a player received a tech he was to sit the remainder of that game.

That’s not the point here.

People said the same thing in 2010 when Newport played Holmes. A 30 point beat down ensued. I’m not saying that’s what’s gonna happen tonight but things do happen.

You can bet they watched it. They’ll be ready.

Newport has a very real shot here. Most games you know what you’re getting from McGuire, Miller and Harding. When White steps in and starts scoring (their 4th leading scorer at just under 10 ppg) is when things get dangerous. Davis will be their defensive workhorse and do all the little things as he’s done all year. Harding grabbed his 900th rebound for his career in the Conner game and will certainly add more in this one. McGuire didn’t play in their regular season meeting and I really think that was a big factor in the 17 point win for CovCath. These kids are out to prove they belong at the top and I think we finally see that break through tonight. Give me Newport 64-59.

You wouldn’t have ever caught me in one of those.

Newport also appeared to have shown their support for the Highlands cheerleader’s family by wearing blue socks tonight.

White dropped an easy 16 tonight as well. Their matchup with CovCath should be a dandy as Newport will have everyone for this one.

Very good possibility and I may have just interpreted it wrong.

It’s probably a good thing the “big 3” include 2 other plays in White and Davis in which those are BIG reasons for the success Newport has had. And I can assure they don’t like being called “the big 3”. It’s Newport vs Conner not “the big 3” vs Conner. Newport by 8.

Lol nobody said the people who make these decisions are smart.

I missed this one but heard it wasn’t much of either. McGuire and Miller were the stories for Newport.

Newport didn’t lead til mid 4th quarter.

Been doing it for years.

Back to Back district championships for Newport.
