Brossart 21 Holy Cross 7 Holy Cross decimated with injuries. end of third

It should be streamed on Instagram @holycrosshighschoolcov After two years of 3-5 seniors on the roster, the starting lineup is junior/senior heavy. There are a handful of sophomores and freshman that get meaningful playing time. Many of the upper classman that are playing have been starting for the last 3-4 years.

I think they need to cancel or play but stop the delaying. I know my kid is not alone with the feeling they are just going to cancel the season one month at a time until there finally is no time left. As far as Covid Sept will be no different than August and Oct no different from Sept. Either decide to play or stop procrastinating and giving people false hope. I realize KHSAA wants to save football at all costs but to move it to spring would kill many small schools. Does a kid play football or skip baseball, track whatever for a second straight year? and what does it do to these teams?

I would guess that they do stick with that decision because they want to make sure in person school works first. If things go well hopefully they will have basketball.

The Diocese of Covington just announced they are starting in school instruction next week. They have plans in place they have been working on all summer and hopefully they have success with the return to school. It is the first step to getting back into sports.

Exactly, the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths are a much more meaningful number than the raw number of cases. In March and early April we could only test hospitalized patients, or those with significant risk factors. Now everyone who is getting any type of procedure or going to the Bahamas for vacation gets tested in addition to everyone with a fever who presents to the Dr. If there are not an increase in hospitalizations and deaths does the number of cases really matter? Nationwide we are at about a third of daily deaths from the peak. NYC was having 1,000/day and now nationwide we have less than that. In NKY we have had a consistent number of hospitalized covid patients (less than a third of peak) since the beginning of summer despite the relaxation of the distancing rules. To me that says we are in good shape and need to still be careful but we can let the kids go to school and start back to some of their daily routines because the benefit of normalcy may now outweigh the risk of illness. If hospitalizations increase we need to then dial it back.

I work in healthcare. A mask is something you just get used to. After awhile you don't even notice it and the study had 12 people in it. Hardly enough to make any conclusions. Will a mask hurt you? No as proven by the millions of people who wear them everyday for their jobs. Will it help decrease the spread of Covid? Maybe, probably so why not try?

I would be interested to know what their baseline ICU/bed availability is in the summer high tourism season. The hospital system I work in is often "at capacity" or has a "full ICU" and it has nothing to do with Covid. It is tough to tell how bad it is not knowing all the info.

One thing that may help TMU recruit the catholic schools is the automatic $20,000 off tuition to any kid graduating from a diocesan school. That puts tuition and books down to about $12,000/yr.

We just got an email from the diocese of Covington. Starting Monday no school or any extracurricular activities until 3/28.

What’s the score

Final from Holy Cross.

Agreed. My daughter was a dive finalist and the meet had the feel of every other "big" meet she has competed in. Definitely not the atmosphere of a state meet. Heck, the kids that medaled were basically just an oh by the way these kids got top 8. no entrance music or fanfare like the swimmers. The only people cheering for them were their own parents and a handful of other parents who stuck around waiting for their kid to change.

What was everyone’s take on the new venue. I kind of liked it. They was more room to move around and you weren’t packed in like sardines. Also I heard a male diver hit his head on the board. Hopefully he is ok.

Final.

It was competitive low scoring initially but NDA started to pull away in the second half. They never were able to completely go to a second-string having to put Feldman back in with a minute or so left to control the ball. NDA was much deeper and polished. Of note, the freshman and JV games were both great games. NDA won freshman by 2 and HC won JV by 1 I think. HC's freshman and JV teams are very young with a couple of freshman, several 8th graders and a 7th grader getting the majority of playing time.

Yes it was correct. HC played their entire bench. Newport scores a single three pointer in the second half. I didn’t see the first half for details.

I don’t have any details other than he was ok and met back with the team last night when they got back to HC.

I haven't seen them all enough to compare, but it would be interesting to see Smith and Jacobs in the current era where the kids are getting more specialized training doing speed and agility and all the extras from a young age.

Highlands over Holy Cross 1-0

Congratulations to the Lady Indians winning the All "A" statewide tournament beating Presentation in the finals 25-18 25-23.

While HC has definitely improved from last year I think the Eagles win easily. The Scott Oline is bigger than HC and HC will struggle to stop the run. That being said I don't think it will be as big a blow out as last year. The Indians are coming along and the kids are growing.

Final

Holy Cross Covington averages 235 boys and has approx 34 high schoolers rostered for 14%. They are still recovering from graduating 21 seniors three years ago and only have 3 seniors. There are better numbers in the lower grades, obviously. edited: Now that I look closer that 235 is not accurate although it came from the KHSAA site one of the years listed total population instead of just boys so it skewed the numbers. If you take out the bad number and avg the rest it is 196 for a percentage of 17%.

How many of these kids are kids from the feeders or NKY? I know Diskin is from BSS.
