Incredible play that is on 859 insider. Hamilton makes a great steal and goes down to hit winning 3. Wow that kid is a great competitor.

Notre Dame just dominated NewCath. By the end of 1Q NCC had visibly given up. 49pts at half. By 3Q it was running clock. ND did whatever they wanted. ND looked good in all areas of the game. Their press was aggressive. Half court defense was frustrating. They pushed the ball offensively and their offensive weapons were firing. ND controlled rebounds defensively and offensively. ND bench looked really strong as well. Scoring came from all over notably Bradshaw, Hubert, Disken plus more. Maci Feldman was a noticeable leader on offense and was a pest on defense. The only negative for ND was early fouling in 1Q. Not much to say from the NCC side. Not a good showing at home. I expected ND to win but didn't see this level of domination.

Good call, Catherine Buddenberg is a really good player. Hopefully she is back in the next couple weeks, she will be a player.

Was a fast tempo game in which each team tried to find control during a first half that was a grind and foul fest. Cooper ultimately looks very strong with Liz Freihofer and Kay Freihofer in possession of the ball. Logan Palmer impacted the game in multiple areas of the game and Maleah Alexander is a defensive workhorse. Whitney Lind was able to pick up in other spots. Big entrance by 7th grader Haylee Noel. Coach Holthaus has a squad for sure! Dixie looked early season discombobulated, struggling to find control including an irritated coaching staff. Lawson and Berman had moments but it just wasn't flowing for them. A tough opener for a team trying to figure out a new identity. Anyone have the stats on this game?

Not sure how that game got away but thought it was a decent start for an extremely young and newly acquainted SK team. SK has a beast in Webb (Sr) and it was good to see her back in action looking strong, solid play from Baker (Sr) and some great young talent that showed really well this early in the season in Pernell (7th), Slusher (So), and Kelch (8th). Interested to see how this comes together.

Thank you for the content. Should be an exciting game.

This is spot on. Except the part about the parents being smart enough to realize the process.

Box score anyone?

Webb is out due to knee injury. I believe it will be all or at least most of the season. They are very young and will be a couple years to get back to really competitive play. They have a good 7th & 6th grade class developing possibly, until then it could be some struggling times for SK.

This is true. My son broke thru 4 tackles today in workouts due to the masks. Those pieces of porous fabric are game changers. Invincible!

Ryle 41-35. 2:07 left.

Brie Crittenden doing everything.

Holtman with 5 big pts in 4th

Scherr back on court but not starting 2nd. Looks like she is going to give it a shot.

Brie crittenden dominant and Holtman effected with frustration at refs and teammates. but Bree foul trouble and scherr injury obvious are biggest factors. Sarah baker & Austin Johnson will be a big part of their offense second half Lacy Bradshaw contained but with 5 pts. No flow out of their offense and they have to find something. Shot selection is bad. They need to find something.

Syd was a star in both games and was the total difference maker. Defense was huge, offense was usual. Her team gets everything off of her play.

So interesting

Jerad Moore (Dixie). He does a great job. His brother Rocky Tye, does Scott. Both are outstanding people that are positiver supporters of all NKY sports. Jerad is a really professional person. He takes the job serious and respects the other team while being energetic for his own team. Nothing over the top, but he isn't trying to be the show. Great work Jerad.

You know who didn't travel, 3-4 Ryle players standing there not doing anything on defense. Easy rotations and simple defensive effort missed. Cooper ran a pick, not even a pick & roll, and Ryle couldn't defend it. But its easier for a coach to blame a ref instead of his discipline. Its easier for the Ryle parents to blame someone besides their players.

Agree with this. Meredith is a very special player and you can’t replace that, but watching them play is really disappointing. Their effort and energy are very lacking. I could understand a tough W/L record but that shouldn’t be.

accurate

Good stuff. Been a fun first month of play. Ryle is beginning to look like the team I expected them to be and Dixie is playing good ball. Conner shows signs of being a real contender. After those 3 teams, it is a tremendous drop in my opinion. If I am ranking on results thus far then I go Dixie, Conner, Ryle. If I am ranking based on who I think is best, then see Ryle still as the best team.

No scores, but generally speaking from what I've seen 6th grade is a one horse race with Highlands. There isn't much competition or skills unfortunately beyond Highlands, maybe Twenhofel that has some good height but raw. Connor and I heard CC were playing competitive. 7th grade, talent was either moved up in some cases or not playing for schools. IHM has a solid team with some quality guards. IHM, Highlands, Gray, Bally would be contenders from what I've seen thus far. Holmes has done an outstanding job of improving its team from last year. Someone give a shout out with the Holmes coaches name, bc he deserves a lot of credit. He's been around but I don't recall his name. 8th grade, is continuing to turn into rec ball sadly.

Said no athlete ever...You always want to play at home.
