Anyone going tonight that can keep us updated? How will Campbell attack Maggie Simons and her 30.6ppg? Does Mason have any answer against GRC? Do they try to slow it down against their athleticism?

Call me crazy, but after watching Hurley's personality all season long, I'm glad he said no.

What are your thoughts so far?

I'm going to build on this thread with my weekly 10th region commentary rather than spreading conversation out too thin. It is difficult to comprehend that we have already reached the regional tournament season. This time of year is invariably bittersweet. On one hand, I am elated by the excitement that the 10th region tournament brings annually; on the other hand, I feel a sense of melancholy as we approach the conclusion of another year. I believe that the most effective approach to navigating this week's information is to analyze my predictions for the regional tournament's first round and allow all of you to critique them and present counterarguments. In the 6:00 game on March 10th, Montgomery County will opt to rest its starters early in the match against Harrison County. Despite Harrison's commendable resurgence late in the season, Montgomery County will present a particularly challenging matchup at this stage of the year. In the subsequent game that night, Mason County will secure a victory over Bishop Brossart. Similar to Harrison's late-season improvements, Bishop Brossart also experienced a significant turnaround this year; however, Mason County's experience on that stage is likely to be a decisive factor in the outcome. On March 11th, Campbell County and GRC will tip off at 6:00 PM. While I don't ever.... ever, ever, ever, ever, ever (insert Chris Tucker's face here) underestimate the Camels in March, the Cardinals are likely to present too formidable a challenge. This matchup poses a significant hurdle, and without a fully healthy Austin Davie, I cannot envision a scenario that favors Campbell County. In the second game of the night, Augusta will secure a victory against Nicholas County. Ranking the Remaining Teams: 1a. Montgomery County 1b. GRC 3. Campbell County 4. Mason County 5. Augusta 6. Bishop Brossart 7. Nicholas County 8. Harrison County

If all are found dead at the same time, without any evidence of harm, it screams of a carbon monoxide leak.

Give me Mason by double digits, maybe 15-20.

Looks like most predictions (including blowouts) were correct, but boy did Nicholas County make me look like a fool. They absolutely put it to Pendleton County! Will they take the 38th District trophy?

Yeesh... I want no part of whatever happened for you to sit all of your starters in a district seed game. Although, it didn't really matter... the two were going to play one another anyway.

I saw that too, and hopefully I'm wrong, but a stroke, at his age, high stress job, etc.

End of a very impressive era... although, like most in sports, I wish he'd gone a few years ago and been a little less grumpy.

I agree with all of this. The non-distrct schedule will do great. Their district game against Boone is fitting as well. The drop to 4A may be worse.

What a miserable district for Scott to have to play in, but I'm not sure what else you do for a school that size in NKY. They could go the Holmes route and not play in a district, but that is an absolute last resort.

Final Rankings 1. GRC (24-4) (10-0) 2. Montgomery County (17-10) (9-2) 3. Campbell County (20-9) (9-2) 4. Augusta (17-9) (11-6) 5. Mason County (14-13) (11-3) 6. Bishop Brossart (14-14) (5-5) 7. Harrison County (12-13) (9-5) 8. Pendleton County (16-13) (8-8) 9. Nicholas County (18-11) (8-6) 10. Bourbon County (15-13) (4-9) 11. Scott (10-16) (3-5) 12. Calvary Christian (17-13) (4-5) 13. Paris (9-18) (3-10) 14. Bracken County (10-20) (5-12) 15. Robertson County (6-20) (3-12) 16. St. Patrick (3-23) (0-12) What a remarkable year it has been for the 10th region! As the season kicked off, Campbell County and GRC emerged as the clear favorites to claim the regional crown. However, as the season progressed, Montgomery County gained a true point guard after resolving eligibility issues, adding new dynamics to the competition. On paper, it still appears to be a two-team race, but now between GRC and Montgomery County. Nevertheless, we should never count out the Camels. Brent Sowder, coming from the Aric Russell coaching tree, has dedicated the entire year to ensuring the Camels are performing at their best when it matters most—during districts and regionals. District Tournament Picks: 37th District- at Scott High School Campbell County and Calvary are set to tip off at 5:30 on Tuesday, followed by Bishop Brossart facing off against Scott immediately afterward. In their matchup, Campbell County takes an early lead, resting their starters against Calvary. Meanwhile, the Mustangs narrowly defeat the Eagles in a thrilling contest. Thursday’s championship game will culminate with the Camels proudly hoisting yet another championship trophy, while the Mustangs secure a vital regional berth. 38th District- at Harrison County High School Harrison County will face off against Robertson County at 6:00 on Tuesday, followed by Nicholas County taking on Pendleton County immediately after. Harrison County efficiently handles Robertson, while Pendleton secures a hard-fought victory over Nicholas in a close contest. I believe Coach Monroe will successfully maintain the momentum, leading Pendleton County to triumph over Harrison in the championship game on Friday night. 39th District- at Mason County Fieldhouse On Tuesday night at 6:00, Augusta effortlessly defeats St. Patrick. In the second game of the evening, Mason County also dominates Bracken County, setting the stage for an exciting rematch between Augusta and Mason County on Thursday night. Earlier this year, Augusta achieved a notable victory over Mason County, marking their first regular-season win against them since the 1990s. I believe that with Mason County at full health and their flu-related challenges behind them, they will pull away in the fourth quarter to secure yet another district championship trophy for their collection. 40th District- at Paris High School On Tuesday night at 5:30, GRC concludes Paris' season with a decisive victory. In the second game of the evening, Montgomery County also sends Bourbon County home, setting the stage for a matchup that has the potential to be the eventual regional final. GRC and Montgomery County will face off on Thursday night for the district crown. I believe that GRC will narrowly edge out Montgomery County once again; however, they must not underestimate them as just another team on the schedule, as they are likely to encounter them again in the future.

I saw that Garyn Jackson was POY for the 10th. Unsure on anything else.

This is where I'm at. A great season, but the SOS was very poor.

They have definitely played better later in the season. You can't say enough about how well they have been "coached up" compared to where they started.

As we approach the thrilling conclusion of the season, excitement is in the air! The action in the 10th has been just as captivating as ever. GRC faced off against Great Crossing, suffering only their fourth loss of the year. However, it was a valuable opportunity to measure their performance against some of the state's finest teams. Meanwhile, Campbell County experienced a tough defeat at the hands of Ryle, but they bounced back with a solid victory over Nicholas County on Valentine's Day, proving their resilience. On a high note, Montgomery is on fire, celebrating an impressive five-game winning streak now that they are back at full strength. With the final games of the season approaching, every moment counts—let's see how these teams continue to rise to the challenge! Week 11 Rankings: 1. GRC 2. Montgomery County 3. Campbell County 4. Bourbon County 5. Augusta 6. Bishop Brossart 7. Pendleton County 8. Nicholas County 9. Mason County 10. Harrison County 11. Scott 12. Calvary Christian 13. Paris 14. Bracken County 15. Robertson County 16. St. Patrick

This comment is underrated.

I sure as heck hope so. I had a retired educator say all of life is up and down, eventually, we'll hit the bottom. We've gotta be close... In the meantime, we're producing a pretty miserable and useless society.

If the state cared, they would take this decision out of the school's hands. If a kid is found with drugs at a school event or on grounds, they're arrested... period. Extreme punishments for covering it up. Figure out what the real numbers are and address it accordingly.

The American Education system is in shambles... what's a shame is that it takes THAT to get suspended. They don't for just about anything else. Teachers are perpetually worn-out and overstimulated babysitters.

I agree completely, but unfortunately, we've moved to an instructional model across the US that doesn't support doing this. Schools would benefit from actually expelling children again too. You wouldn't believe the amount of students in schools across the commonwealth that make threats, get popped for thc or pills, etc. and walk the halls a week later without the local authorities even being involved. I was told a few years ago at a conference by someone else in education, "when we place kids in handcuffs for bringing drugs to school we are telling that kids that they are a criminal." Welllll.... if you bring illegal things to places you shouldn't, you are in fact a criminal, better to teach them now and try to fix it IMO.

I have to hand it to Nick, in a way. I had considered this done and over with and thought that was an awful look at that point, but he has persisted and hopefully will get some answers.

Boys- Montgomery Girls- Campbell County

I think you're right. What a weird mess up on my end. I didn't even look at Great Crossing scores today lol.
