I Didn’t now that! If they leave NKY .500 It will be a success! Good for Ashland going where they will be challenged! Much respect!

This was a fun game to watch! Ashland started the game slow but made a nice comeback late in second half. I’m not a follower of either team but It looked to me like Highlands was in total control of this game from the coin flip! Highlands was the more complete team and Vinson when wanted to score, scored! Region 9 is deep, Ashland will get another chance soon against Holy Cross, this should be another battle! What a great game to open the basketball season!

I have attended over a dozen VB games and some allowed 3 tickets per participant, but most have been 2! Should add this is region 9.

I Like the list, hard to argue on top 3 or 4..Man 9th is deep! If i had to shake It up I think both Dixie and Conner could be worth keeping a eye on. Both teams bring back almost everyone from last year. I don’t think it will be enough to crack top 3 or 4 but could certainly battle the others!

Not that it matter but Chandler 2023 Bates and Skyler 2021 True Game are not on the same AAU team. Cov Cath with the addition of the two bigs plus Chandler is going to be scary!

Conner 22 - Highlands 21 2:48 to go in 2nd

Conner 45-24 4:30 in 3rd

I will also go with ND 10+. I think ND pressure will be to much for the Conner guards.

I will release my updates to Football123456

Conner 38-26 end 3

Cooper on a little run 34-25.. 2 minutes left in 3rd

Conner 27-13 at half

Conner up 18-11 end 1

56-44 Ryle - Final Congrats to both teams! Great game and atmosphere! I think Whoever wins Region 9 will represent state Nicely!

Conner will be fouling from here on out! 50-40 Ryle 54 seconds to go-

She’s a McDonald’s All-American for a reason! It’s truly a pleasure to watch! 48-37 2 minutes

48-35 Ryle 3:22

First half Ryle was not making shots and Conner was able to slow game down- Ryle making a Run In 3rd being led by Doethit, she has 13. Maddie has been somewhat silent scoring but instrumental in getting everyone involved! 41-30 end 3- Ryle

18-18 at half

Ryle 12 Conner 11- Doffit for Ryle with 7.

Ryles big 3 shot 14/24 from deep last time these two played and 5/19 the first time they played. If Ryle shoots like they did in January then it’s a wrap, Conner won’t have a chance! Conners only chance is to Catch Ryle on a cold night and I’m still not sure that would be enough.. Ryle wins by 10 plus!

I agree with NKYCoach859 in regards to Cooper. This is the just the beginning of what should be a special rivalry between Cooper and Ryle for the next 3-4 years. At one point in second quarter there were 4 8th graders and two fresh on floor between two teams. Boone and Conner will have hands full keeping up!

Cooper in 2 or 3 years will be team to beat! They will be absolute handful to deal with next 3-4 years if all the talent stays there! The 8th-10th graders are getting valuable minutes while transitioning from a 8-20 team to a 20 plus win team!

I do think Region 9 has a lot of parity but to me after watching them all a few times I think it’s a 2 team race. Ryle must be THE favorite. Yes they have 10 plus losses, Yes Conner beat Them, Yes Maddie played, Yes she played 90% of the game including every second of OT! Neither of these teams are the same right now. Ryle playing much better and Conner seems to be struggling. NDA Is the second team- to me this is the team nobody should want to play! They play great defense and find a way to make everyone play their style. This gives them an opportunity to win every time on floor! I keep hearing how down region 9 is but i would not be surprised if Region 9 winner makes a lot of noise in STATE!

@The Double Deuce! Has he, yes! Enough, No! He has played very minimal! Very good athlete, scorer, teammate and will be future of Beechwood, would love to see him getting more time!
