Newcath was outrebouned by Newport 38 to 29 in the first meeting. A few things contribute to the lack of getting boards. 1. Overall team height is down. 2. Only 1 big that doesn't play 32 minutes. 3. And a "4 out...1 in" base offense that doesn't have extra guys camped in the paint for said rebounds.
So which of the #1 seeds has a possibility of being upset in the opening round? Dixie and Ryle could be a toss up. Mr. Rankin must come ready to play for Ryle. Holy Cross would have to shoot lights out and slow down an athletic Newport squad to have a chance. Cooper can't overlook NCC. Previous game was closer than most thought. Kunkel will be Kunkle. Ncc has to play a perfect game. Ncc has a shot i think. Cov Cath..... i dont think they will sweat this game much. St. Henry won't lay down I'm sure though!
Thank you. Bashing other teams, coaches , refs just isn't my thing. It's been a fun ride. As far as living another day, hopefully make a run next week. Being an Elder grad, it's still kinda strange the 2 teams go to KY regionals. But I'll take it.
