Green should’ve got the award and did. Still does not change my opinion that Vinson is hands down the number 1 player in the ninth!!

"Why the dislike Big Red?"

I've been consistent on the topic. I don't understand how you can watch these games, and continuously dismiss Disken.

Disken is a great player, great motor 3rd best is not bad. All of this is just my opinion.

I wonder what Greene and Disken think of your picks.

I’m not knocking Disken or Green their both awesome players with a lot more around them than what Vinson and Veith have around them.

I wonder what Greene and Disken think of your picks.

No idea.

Vinson and Veith number 1 and 2 players in the ninth!!

Why the dislike Big Red?

They are both great players, to be sure. Hopefully CovCath can muster one more 9th region win tonight with their litany of average joes.

I think most of us would love to see David tame Goliath!!

Vinson and Veith number 1 and 2 players in the ninth!!

Head-to-Head records among 9th Region Tournament particpants:

 

1. Cov Cath (8-0)

2. St. Henry (7-2)

3. Conner (7-2)

4. Highlands (5-3)

5. Beechwood (4-5)

6. Newport (1-7)

7. Dixie (1-7)

8. Cooper (1-8)

 

St. Henry is in 2nd over Conner because of their win at Conner, and Newport is in 6th over Dixie because of their win at Dixie.

Be a good time for Cooper to sneak up on someone.

Centers playing at a high level right now. Could be right, and could be a good game, but I see St. H with the horses to pull through in the end.

St. Henry has a great team. I’m just hoping somehow Cooper can get it going and pull off the upset.

My predictions in the first round.

Cooper (might be going with my heart but I do feel it could be a little different game than in December with Jennings and Centers back neither played in the first meeting. )

CCH by a bunch

Conner by 6-8

Highlands by 12-15

Just curious PP1 who are you predicting to win the ST. Henry/ Cooper game and the Conner/Beechwood game??

For what it's worth, here is how they rank by KHSAA RPI:

 

St. Henry .................. 65876

Highlands .................. 65112

Covington Catholic ...... 64893

Conner ...................... 63102

Beechwood ................ 60308

Newport .................... 52634

Cooper ...................... 49644

Dixie Heights ............. 47331

How exactly do they do the RPI?

What's Rabe's dad's name?

I don’t know.

Is this Rabe any relation to Liam that played at Dixie?

Yes.

Would Rabe move back to Ryle for senior season?

 

Cooper_fan may know something about this.

That would be a question for young man to answer.

Why didn’t Harmon play?

Well, they will not survive Conner, but yes they will still advance.

Maybe not but that’s why they play the game right?

Looks like the under class kids actually cut the margin of victory.

I’m sure Sully doesn’t care about margin of victory. If they win by 1 or 50 it’s still win. Survive and advance right??

Looks like the under class kids actually cut the margin of victory.

That’s a good observation.

Ryle started 3 Sophomores and a Junior vs Cooper.

Are you trying to slam Cooper by stating that? Cooper beat Ryle two other times this season while they were healthy and playing their seniors. That was Jennings second game back from injury and only playing limited minutes.

Ryle started 3 Sophomores and a Junior vs Cooper.

Nice. The future looks bright for Ryle.

5'5" Sophomore Connor Bishop did a great job of smothering Gavin Rabe. Rabe was easily frustrated all night with the face guard.

I thought Rabe handled himself great. He didn’t quit playing hard like I’ve seen him do in years past. Sully has taught him the meaning of family and trust and how a team works together. He has grown up a ton over this season. He played great D and rebounded well last night. Good for you young man!!

All this talk about this or that is taking away from a great game. Both teams played hard left it all on the court. Centers played a great game, Jennings made a shot he’ll remember forever.

You definitely could’ve called the push or the travel or u swallow the whistle and let the boys decide the game!!

Ryle fans see travel and Jags fans see push!!

It was a travel...Centers dragged his pivot foot right in front of a ref and 1000 fans before kicking it to Jennings.
