Coronavirus
Let’s be honest hear, nothing we hear anymore should be taken as fact. I don’t care where you say you get your news from there are falsehoods everywhere, in every article. No one knows if Chinese doctors knew about this virus for a couple of months before the US found out but I can tell you that I believe they did. We also cannot say for certain if this was here in November. We didn’t have schools being shut down because of the flu, doctors couldn’t figure out what it was. I believe that it was here in November. It’s my belief. There are some stories out there that carry the same belief but I cannot say they are facts because there is no real proof. Stop throwing the word FACT around all the time. For the most part these are things that you believe are true, that doesn’t make them factual.

Will there be high school football this fall?
Of course they will keep their dead period. MR. Tackett wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ahmaud Arbery
I don’t know what any of us would do in a situation where two men have guns drawn on us. Defusing would be my step if I had to answer right now. Call the police myself, but if I reached for my phone are they going to shoot me because they thought I was reaching for a weapon? He decided to fight back and I can understand that. He felt his life was in danger. Those two shooting him is not self defense. It’s not like he was a trained SEAL and his body considered a dangerous weapon. This case should be open and shut, guilty. The citizens arrest law should not be a loophole for this kind of action. If video has surfaced of him attending clan rallies, then I would say this could observed as pre-meditated.

Ahmaud Arbery
As far as people entering unfinished houses at construction sites, that has major insurance impact. I don’t care that he was in the house, no reason for him to be killed. Had a girl i went to high school with who entered an unfinished house. She fell through to the basement, landing on the concrete floor. Nearly killed her. Builders insurance had to cover it. Not sure why but they did. For this instance, it doesn’t matter because two civilians had no business killing this guy.

DA program cancelled
When it comes to girls high school soccer, you have to think this would potentially impact NKY schools more than others in the state. I know of a few girls who played in the DA from Lexington but not sure how many make the drive from the Louisville area. This could make the usual cream of the crop that much better. Could really effect NDA since I believe they have 2-3 players. I know if at least one Highlands girl that this could open the door to come back. She is an excellent keeper.

Coronavirus
The key to the credit terminal is if they are setup for contactless payments. If they are contactless they should except Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung and others. For these restaurants, some of them still have contactless turned off even if their terminal has it available. It’s not so simple to turn it on though. Different processors offer different payments abilities. Changing a processor could take a day or two and even longer if they require new equipment.

Coronavirus
We live in an age where the youth of this country is invincible or so they think. Unless parents step in and force these young adults to come home them this thing will keep spreading.

I think we should go ahead and do this shutdown and get this over with. We need to see a light at the end of the tunnel and need to start this now.

Coronavirus
I understand your point but we have no clue what China did or didn’t do because they will never say. Their news is State ran media outlet and we will never know the truth about numbers or how quickly it spread there.

Highlands vs Covington Catholic (9th Region Championship) Predictions/Updates
I wonder what Listerman’s game plan will be to counter the double team. Do you let Vinson work without the ball and come off screens? Do you have him drive and kick out for the perimeter shot? If CovCath is allowed to double team him all night the chances of pulling off the win decrease greatly. Highlands has plenty of shooters they just have to hit them. I just hope it’s a hell of a game to see who goes to Rupp. Go Birds!

Highlands vs Covington Catholic (9th Region Championship) Predictions/Updates
I am guessing Delagrange will guard him. Physically it’s a good matchup but the height advantage goes to Green. Was very impressed with him tonight. He took over underneath and St. Henry couldn’t stop him.
-
Conner vs. Highlands Predictions/Updates (9th Region Semifinals)
Tip in 2:00 so I will keep it short. 3 point shooting and rebounding for the Birds. Stop Conner from driving to the basket. Conner will need to guard the perimeter and make foul shots.

Highlands 72 Dixie Heights 58 (9th Region Quarterfinals)
Highlands needs to do a better job defending lane penetration. Conner loves to drive to the rim and Beechwood couldn’t stop them. Dixie was doing it as well and it wasn’t always defended. Difference with Conner is they like to kick out for the 3. Was impressed with Dixie’s heart and their young talent. Cody came up big on both ends of the court for Highlands. They will need the same from him tonight.

Conner vs. Notre Dame Academy Predictions/Updates (9th Region Semifinals)
Thanks for the updates kybbfan. Do you happen to know what the fouls have looked like for each team?
-
Conner vs. Notre Dame Academy Predictions/Updates (9th Region Semifinals)
I think Bradshaw and Feldman will attack the basket and put Conner in foul trouble early. If you can get Conner’s post players in foul trouble, that is where the opposing team can start to do some damage. I think NDA comes out on top by 5.

All 9th Region Teams
A little surprised to not see Macie Feldman on any of these list. For me, she is the motor for NDA.

10th Regional Preview
The way this bracket sets up I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Camels win. Coach Russell has to be considered one of the best coaches in the State and he knows what it takes to win the Region. I still think Montgomery and GRC are th favorites but this should be a great tourney.

Highlands vs. Newport Predictions/Updates (36th District Finals)
Highlands 40 Newport 21 at the half.

Highlands 44 Newport Central Catholic 41 (36th District Championship)
Haven’t seen one of those refs all season. Phantom calls and changing calls were the story of this game.
-
Montgomery County 69 Bourbon County 63 (OT) (40th District Semifinals)
Chances are that will be the case but Brossart and Campbell will be a tough out. Russell will have his guys ready. Think GRC will be representing this year.

Montgomery County 69 Bourbon County 63 (OT) (40th District Semifinals)
I guess the 10th Region will be wide open.

Highlands 78 Beechwood 63
Great crowd tonight at Beechwood. Birds got back to business after the loss to St.Henry. Nice to see Draud play for the first time. He didn’t have the best game but he is really talented and hope to see him again in the Regional tourney. Off night for Vinson as well but Ahlfeld turned in a heck of a performance tonight. Rest of the Birds stepped up tonight. Time for post season. Need to win the District to get a good draw for Region. 9th tourney is going to be one of the better ones in the State.
-
St. Henry 68 Highlands 51
Not a very good game for my Birds overall. Too many turnovers. Hopefully they get back on track against a tough Beechwood team.

Highlands 90 Lloyd 64
If that’s what you want to call it so be it. He puts on a show but he is not the only one. With the exception of Conner and CovCath (on another level), the team has multiple options to go to. Delagrange has a motor and plays bigger than his height but he is built to bang. Hunter and Muller were hitting the 3 last night as well. This team has a lot of options. If they can put a complete game together, shooting the 3 consistently, then they should make a deep run in the region.
-
Highlands 90 Lloyd 64
He had to have at least 5 blocks as well. I hope he keeps attacking the rim come post season time. He could not be stopped last night. I was hoping to see #23 from Lloyd play but didn’t play much for some reason. The put back dunk off the missed shot in the 2nd half was something special.
