I had to witness it to believe it.

 

I have been going to games for 50+ years and have NEVER seen a shut out in a quarter before today. And, I have seen some really rotten basketball teams.

 

They were able to score, unlike Trinity in today's second quarter.

 

Unbelievable.

Completely agree.

As an "NCC" fan, It was very pleasant to see my team win. CCH was very classy in their loss... Trust me, it's not easy to lose a big ganes like that and shake the other team's hand... A lot of class in this game

Well, I have played the game. White shorts should never confuse the white team with the ball.

What about defense? Peripherals are used there too... Maybe You have played the game, but Maybe not correctly... Either way, both yeahs should not be allowed to wear the same color.

Surely this is in jest.

Not at all. If you have ever played the game, you know peripheral vision is a big deal. But seeing white out of your peripherals in all directions would throw me off

I get the sense that highlands wearing blue on white is a desperate attempt to throw off and confuse the breds on offense. They shouldn't be able to wear the primary color of the team they play, seems a little ridiculous

Newcath starts:

McDaniel

Isles

Pangallo

Wurtz

Neff

P.S. starting lineup is always changing due to balanced talent

Very good to hear!! Good luck to both teams moving forward

The next soccer season will be here before we know it. Who are last year's stars and players returning for your team. How is your teams off-season conditioning workout plan going? Any very early predictions for the upcoming year?

I think they may just be tired...tired was the word you were looking for.

I surely hope so...

Is this an indication that NCC is reeling right now? If so, they still have time to fix it. Play good defense, master fundamentals, and somebody go get a rebound!!!

Another know it all I see. What was the halftime score? What was the deficit at the time of the "T"? Never mind, don't bother. So you don't think Ben Weyer would have had a major impact in that game if he was playing for Highlands rather than for NCC? Glad to see your buddy chime in with a "like" because the soccer boys stick together now don't they?

 

If being down 10 is not in the game then maybe you should stick to watching that soccer ball more.

I don't understand why You bring Weyer going to NCC up for a 4th straight year, maybe not you individually, but it's always brought up. The kid chose the Catholic school. Your point about Weyer being on your team instead of NCC's is irrelevant and a sad attempt to compare the two programs... Smh

That's a real leap of faith believing that NCC could beat HC this year at full strength. I've watched 5qtr's with both teams at full strength and HC had the best team and the best all around player...

E. Anderson played 2 minutes in the first game. So you've seen 10 minutes of both teams at full strength... Assuming Weyer is 100% healthy now. (which he isn't)

Fun Fact: NCC Assistant coach - Kenny Collopy - is undefeated in 4 years of the All "A". Won state with the Indians, then

3-Peated with the breds from NCC. I'll take NCC 66-51

As I recall, the Middle School team with Hall / Pangallo, et al was very good (not sure which school?). It seems many were saying they would lead NCC with great results. I know they beat the CCH trio (Mayer/Ruthsatz/Lenihan) a few times (8th grade). Is that class still in tact? (I am not overly familiar with the NCC guys). If so, the idea of a well-balanced team with a lot of experience together, may better serve the program than recent years with more individual type star players.

NewCath had individual stars but did not play like That by any means. They had one of the best team Defenses in the state the last 2 years

I'll take the breds in this one. IMO they have been the favorite the last 3 seasons but obviously haven't come out on top. I look for Weyer to have his. I see CCH playing "no help" defense off of Moeves which will hurt his numbers but open driving lanes for Hall.

Coach Gray and Coach "P" (Pangallo) are two of the best I've seen. Coach for CovCath also does a great job. (Coach Otte I believe)

Didn't know you could ride the hip of the player running down the court making contact. NCC was allowed a lot more physical contact than Cooper was. I'm not against a little contact but call it fairly at least.

 

He didn't get out of control, was usually asking for clarification. Did he get heated a few times? Yes but when you see contact not called one way but the other, coaches tend to defend their team. I've seen the coach from St Henry chew into an official longer than what should be allowed and slam his hands into a chair but get no T. I have yet to see Coach Sully get that crazy.

Newcath was in legal guarding position. They were not on Cooper's hips - rather in front of the ball. I thought officials were consistent

NCC kept McNeil in check. NCC had better team defense and made open shots on offense. Officiating missed one call where Weyer accidentally elbowed McNeil in the head but other then that had a solid game. The 9th is a toss up.... Again

From the games I've seen this year, NCC doesn't have that monstrous Defense like the past three years. Cooper has an explosive offense. This could go 3 ways : Cooper blowout win, Cooper tight win, NCC tight win. Unfortunately I think NCC fails to "defend the hill" and Cooper sneaks away with a 69-60 win.

Did the defense look better? Or was the opposing offense not as strong?

Great accomplishment to Ben. I'm sure he is focused on improving his team for the near future.

IMO, Weyer was getting fouled just about every play, but since he is 4 inches taller than everyone - refs don't call it as much. Same thing happened last year with McDonald and the year before that with Schulte

It was hard for me to understand NCC's offensive game plan, and it was hard for me to watch the breds get torn apart on Defense.

Holy Cross beating NCC on Tuesday.

Haha, I'll take NCC by 14

Have I lost my mind? I feel certain that NCC got an interception.

I was Just reading the report, they could have. Anyone know if an interception was thrown?
