I stand corrected on stating Cooper is boring. Nothing boring about a 38 point beating dished out to a really good team. KIDOS TO Coach Sullivan and Cooper. Good luck to both teams.

All possible reasons, but definitely not the only possibilities. Culture has to come into the equation at some point. Cooper Scherr, Bryce Ashley, Jackson Saladin, Trayshawn Cody, Zach Rice, Anthony Caggiano, Gage Ashcraft, Braden Locke. Just a quick list of players listed chronologically that would have been probable starters. Hard to imagine that all of these kids have as you said "lack of heart, egos, or overzealous parents". Might want to research a little before you question the integrity and character of kids and parents when a pattern of behavior has unequivocally been established.

You're probably right, but good lord that is one boring brand of basketball to watch. It's definitely effective for Sully, all they do is win. SK is a heckuva lot of fun to watch. Styles make fights, and this is one the more interesting style matchups season to date in NKY. Tons of respect for both teams.

100% Accurate

Its unthinkable that Ryle with 1800 kids should lose to a school of Bellevue's size (that isn't an "athletics" school). Not knocking Bellevue at all, the kids played their tails off, but Ryle should not lose to them.

We're gonna try to make a run in the All A. lol

As I exhale thinking the unthinkable just about happened. A win is a win.

Ryle 28 Bellevue 25 at the half

Final

Certainly a meaningful observation. Really like Collins, sounds like they busted their butts. Nice win!

Over the weekend Vince scored his 1000th point and became Ryle's all time leading rebounder. Congrats to Vince on a great career!

I assumed Cooper would win, but not like this.

Wow! Didn't see this one coming! Any details?

Final

Inaccurate. Tough to post on the wins, however did make sure to post that score as well. Sounds like we want the same thing, wins for Ryle.

Are you serious? The question was can he develop players and cultivate a winning culture. IT IS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL. He doesn't have scorers because they stop playing. He has to START kids that should not be playing substantial minutes off of the bench. He has no bench to turn to. This is his debacle. Not the parents and certainly not the kids. He has 4 kids that made the decision not to play after their sophomore year. 2 would be starters and the other 2 would be the first 2-3 subs. He doesnt have talent is absolutely true, because he doesnt develop players not cultivate a winning culture. Your cavalier attitude that it doesnt really matter is a slap in the face to every kid playing and every coach working their tails off to win. Family time is a choice, the compensation is a choice.

How do you keep Niece from getting big numbers if you cant figure out how in the heck is he getting them?

Great question! Wasn't going to comment on it. Sparse on the home side would be generous. Cooper seemed to have a nice turnout.

Could have been much worse. It appeared as if Ryle was trying to minimize the damage more than win. Very slow paced. Very strange game to watch, trying to play slow against a team that was perfectly comfortable playing slow.

Unfortunately it wasn't just a team meeting, it was with parents to let us know we are a large part of why the team is in such turmoil. SMH.

Most kids playing varsity basketball can stand outside and make uncontested shots. Let's be clear on this. Being a better shooter than some other tall kids does not constitute being a "good" shooter. Good shooters have range, consistent results, and do not have to be WIDE open.

Oh boy, Ryle is 1-4. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Niece is impressive to watch. Not fast, not real big, doesnt impress with his vertical, not super strong......By THE END OF THE GAME HES GOT 25. JUST GETS IT DONE.

Surely Mcfarland hasn't tried that goofy zone, Grant County tore it up.

Good lord, NBA 1st quarter for Beechwood.
