Neither does anyone else in the state... except Mercer... the fact that you have 3 really good players puts CC in rare company. Having seen them multiple times.... so impressed with their grit , toughness, and determination.

This was one of CC's best showings so far. Yes, I know, wins are what it is all about (and they have had some BIG ones), but..... this was the nationally ranked, defending State Champions, whose only loss was to #1 in the country, that can smother you with D1 players. CC is a great team, but on paper they should not have been one shot away from taking the win. If I only had two choices to pick from: Mercer by 2 or Mercer by 20 - I would have guessed 20. Great job Camels and I can't wait for a rematch at BB&T Arena - stay strong!

Great job with the updates..... sounds like an awesome game... I can't believe the swings in score!! Back and forth!!

Tonight will be the night that the rest of CC will need to step up if the Camels will keep rolling. Schwarber and Clos will be doing great if they can just equalize Souder and Robins. Even if CC's top two can outplay Mercer's top two... it won't be by much..... this game will be won by depth. In another thread there was talk about other D1 caliber players on Campbell County.... tonight will be the night that is put to the test.... It's great to speculate, predict, and plan for further development of younger players... .but it's not a question of whether Mercer has more depth beyond Souder/Robins.... they do... and I think that will show tonight.....

I am curious of everyone's thoughts after the inaugural session of the Development Academy comes to a close. did it work out the way you thought? Did it / will it have an impact on High School soccer? just curious to what thoughts are out there

Who do you have in this one?

Beating Mercer would have to put them there... Adding a win over Mercer would mean they have a better record, more big wins, won head-to-head, and did what Sacred Heart failed to do - I can't see any argument against it. But... I am afraid that's not going to happen. I see their great run coming to an end. Sacred Heart and Mercer are both at a level that I am not sure Campbell can match. This will be the toughest team that they have seen... I look for this to be double digit Mercer win.

LOL - never seen a invitational tournament hosted by a school be set-up any other way.... not much fun to be hosting everyone else and have your team go out in the first round.

I saw Ally Gessner (formerly of Highlands) just signed with Cincinnati Bearcats

Was he one of the coaches red carded at the end of the St. Henry game? I never saw where it named him specifically... I just heard it was "coaches"

Losing to a 3-4 Mason County team seems to at least leave the door open. Blowing a 15+ point lead in the Hoops for Harvest event was not a statement of dominance. They very well may win the 9th and roll in the state tournament... wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened.... But to take a 6-1 Conner team and say " its not even close" and "shouldn't be a debate" seems a little misguided.

3 to 5 seems to be quite a stretch... not sure where that is coming from. Their top two are super solid, but I think the list of D1 players currently on that team stops at 2.... someone mentioned Stapleton, but that would be news if that is true.

I didn;t look up their records... but assuming you are correct... There's a pretty big difference between being 6-1 and 6-3. Conner has won 86% of their games.... Ryle has only won 66.6% Ryle lost at H4H... Conner won against a good Tecumseh team. Yes, Ryle won head-to-head... and that should carry a lot of weight. I think if both teams had equal records that be the deciding factor... but I think they got this right.

yep... i thought the same thing... case of mistaken identity.

Having seen Sacred Heart, Mercer, and Campbell all in person.... I had Campbell well behind the other two via the eye test.... but they continue to pull out such great victories. Gritty.... resilient.... disciplined... all words that come to mind when watching this team. I have no doubt they could play with anyone at this point. This is a team built for March!

Shelby Harmeyer had a huge night. She didn't miss too many shots. SK killed Dixie on the boards and their press created several bad turnovers for Dixie. It was a competitive 1st half, but fairly one sided in the 2nd. Dixie's top scorer was 8th grader Madelyn Lawson.. having only played about 1/3 of the game.

Dixie picks up the win on the road

only 5 more pages to go in order to keep on par.... there, i did my part.

Thanks for all the good updates. Good job!

Camels are looking strong this year! Nice win!

Campbell county up 23 to 12 at the half ober Montini Catholic

Mercy won by a couple... it was a 1 point game both ways back and forth with about a minute to go... lots of good shooting

Mercy made some big threes to close the half and lead 30 to 28 at halftime

Erin Toller (sp?) And Grace Berger were "all hoops for harvest team" both had strong games

Sacred heart pulled it out 44-47... they took the lead and held on... 2 good teams just played
