You didn't see Harlan at the Conner Christmas tourney. That was Harlan County. They're a different school. Harlan beat Harlan County in the regional finals to advance to the Sweet 16.

It was in regard to your comments about the Cooper game. Sometimes it gets confusing differentiating between people's screen names and careers I envision them having success.

Weyer did dominate the tourney. I know yellowcab wasn't convinced Weyer was dominate after the Cooper game, but hopefully he made a believer out of him tonight.

If you make just 2 more 3's you win the game.

They shot 25% from 3. That's poor shooting. Covcath had 5 less turnovers and won the rebound battle. You have to make shots though.

Covcath couldn't throw it in the ocean. They tightened up and just kept chucking up bricks. It also hurt not driving and getting to the bonus.

I didn't think the roads were that bad myself. But I wasn't driving a bus.

So the 16th region is soft?

Losing a close game in the semi-finals is a down year by Highlands standards. It might not happen for another decade. What made it a down year in my mind was losing games to a couple also rans like Ryle and SK. When you see Ryle and SK on the schedule, historically, you can expect an easy night.

It sounds like it was close for awhile and Covcath is running away now.

I have heard many good things about the Highlands boys 8th grade class, as far as it being a very talented group. I believe this is a group(if they stick together and keep working) that can restore Highlands to top tier status in the 9th region. There are some exceptional athletes in this grade. But, unfortunately, I've heard from multiple sources, that there is behavior that needs to discontinue immediately. Things like taunting opposing players, coaches, and fans done by players and by parents with words or actions. Players clapping in opponents face. I've heard examples of parents shouting comments that could have only been made simply to draw someone's ire. Screaming at officials. This along with parents yelling across the floor at Highland's own coaches questioning strategy. Unacceptable. There's no place for it. Remember, whether you went to Highlands or not, the coaches,parents, and the players are representing Highlands as a whole at these games. You may also be seen by or be playing against teams, A) that have kids whose parents attended Highlands B)contributing alumni c) prospective students, d) prospective residents. Go play hard, cheer, and give your best. Win or lose represent the city, the school, and yourself with class and dignity at all times.
