I remember quite well, and I also go back to the days of one camera behind home plate. Thankfully, those days are behind us, and we are privy to the majority of the games that we play. Last year there were several games not carried by FS1 or Bally Sports or whatever, but the diverted broadcast was available to us on a different venue. So what you all are saying is that the Friday night broadcast is "Blacked Out" here locally. I guess my question is if we are blacked out, just who is watching the Reds-Dodgers on Apple TV???

So I settle in t watch the game Friday night. I know they are playing because I was just listening to them in the car. Well, when I dial up FS1 (Spectrum 49), I get tennis. I check my Reds app and am informed that the game is televised via TV.apple.com. and of course, I can't get that. What is this, another money grab??? I pay over $225 to Spectrum for TV and Internet. One of the major reasons that I do so is to watch the Reds games. What is this all about???

Bishop Brossart’s Girls Interim Head Basketball Coach Garren Parker has informed the school of his intention to step down from the program. Work constraints and family obligations were cited as challenges for Coach Parker and his ability to continue as Head Coach. Coach Parker was instrumental in taking over last season and leading the program to a 20-11 record which included a 37th District Championship. On behalf of the entire Bishop Brossart Community, we would like to extend a gratitude of thanks to Coach Parker for stepping in and overseeing the program last season and wish him the very best in his future endeavors.

Kansas and North Carolina - A Grant Janszen, Kevin Gray Classic. Grant would be a very happy "kid" tonight.

Don't drink the Hunter Greene Kool-aid. We drafted his in the first round five years ago. If this guy had the potential to be an impact player, with all of the slugs we have run through here in that time, we'd have seen him up here in the bigs by now. Another wasted top draft choice gone bust.

Madonna Manor in Villa Hills has an excellent reputation. I have a friend (retired priest) who has lived there for years and loves it.

The following notice was sent out to members of the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame earlier today: "Sad News- just talked to Tom Browning and he advised his wife Debora Lee "Debbie'' Browning has passed away. Funeral services will be at St Pius Church Edgewood Ky. Visitation 4-645 pm WEDNSDAY 3-30-22 and Mass at 7pm. Please keep Tom and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Joe"

I don't know if Southern Comfort falls into this category, BUT it is the nastiest Whiskey/Bourbon I've ever partaken in. On the other hand while I enjoy Crown Royal and Makers, I can also enjoy Kessler and Coke and have for decades.

Your "very good" official missed the call. The arrow should change the instant that the official hands the ball to the team/player for the inbounds pass. A turnover is a turnover, be is an immediate traveling call or a five seconds call. He was wrong.

August 19 – at Dayton August 26 – Newport Sept 1 – Bellevue Sept 9 – at Holy Cross Sept 16 – at Lloyd Sept 23 – at Ludlow Sept 30 – at Nicholas County Oct 7 – Bracken County 7:30 Oct 14 – Paris 7:30 Oct 21 – BYE Oct 28 – Pendleton County 7:30 This is a mirror image of last season’s schedule which resulted in a 12-1 record. It contains games versus six Class 1-A opponents, a trio of Class 2-A rivals, and Pendleton County a Class 3A team. Lost to graduation are the Quarterback-Running Back combination of Jacob Leicht and Jed Martin who both racked up over 1,000 yards rushing. On paper it certainly looks like a rebuilding year, much as it did a year ago, but while we will have some mighty big shoes to fill, the cupboard is certainly not bare. We return at least a dozen players with varsity experience and the nucleus of the 2021 JV team who went 4-0. We could also obtain reinforcements from a productive Jr High Colts program.

Visitation will be Saturday, March 19, 2022 from 9:00 - 11:00 am at St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 8246 E. Main Street, Alexandria, Kentucky. Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11:00 am with Rev. Ed Brodnick officiating. Burial Alexandria Cemetery, Alexandria, Kentucky. Celebration of Life Reception will be in Hegenauer Hall following the service. Memorials are requested to Bishop Brossart High School, 4 Grove Street, Alexandria, Kentucky 41001 or to Holmes High School, 2500 Madison Ave., Suite 1, Covington, Kentucky 41014.

Bracken County has become a deserving Cinderella this week. The 10th Region "A" Champs have done everything asked of them, overcome adversity, created adversity, and are still here to play in their first championship game since 1955. There are things that you can overcome, but GRC is not one of them. I think that Bracken County will put some points on the board, and I don't think that the GRC press will cause them to wilt, however, 32 minutes against a deeper, more talented (overall) blue-blooded team will lead to their undoing. I hope that they will not be embarrassed. I don't think that will happen, and as foolish as it might seem, I don't think we will see a 20-30 point gap. Too bad that there is not some mere mortal 10th Region team awaiting them, but this is not the case. May be a trip over the track for bigger things ahead - like an All "A" State Title - down the road, and another run to the finals while the Reeds still wear the uniform.

I know that the 10th Region has a long standing Hall of Fame, and the 9th Region, a more recent "Court of Distinction." I'm curious as to how many other regions honor their past players, coaches, and contributors in this way.

Coach Carl Wenderoth was an outstanding human being, with a quick wit and sense of humor. If you had your coffee cup hanging in Coach Wenderoth's office, you knew you were part of his "in-crowd." Most true quote: To win a big tournament it takes a good draw, a good call, and a good bounce of the ball." That has stuck with me throughout my career.

Don't know how I missed this. I ran into Dave at the 9th Region BBall Tournament earlier today. This is a solid hire for Bellevue. Dave stayed at Bracken County until his son, who played quarterback for the Bears graduated.. Dave is 60 years old and still has a few years to reinstitute the excellent tradition that formerly existed in this once-proud River City school. Dave reported that he has 40 players showing interest in playing Bellevue Football in 2022.

Happy to see Ciera Byars in the lineup for GRC, after appearing to sustain a potentially time-loss injury in the Brossart game Friday night. 16 Points/13 Rebounds says she is just fine.

Somewhat contentious game. Mason County jumped out to a 24-15 first quarter lead, hitting five 3s in the period. Braylon Hamilton, a sophomore hit three of them. Brossart outscored the Royals 18-12 in the second period, cutting the margin to 36-33 at halftime. Brossart Junior, Mason Sepate, put up 14 to lead the Mustangs in the first half, and when we got the ball to David Govan, he scored. Thirty-two minutes proved to be too many for our guys as Mason County won the second half 33-17. Nate Mitchell, Terrell Henry, and Braylon Hamilton all had a big half scoring 8 or more. On the night, Nate Mitchell led all scorers with 21 points, Braylon Hamilton put up 19, and Terrell Henry 10. On the Mustangs side of the leger, David Govan and Mason Sepate scored 14 apiece, ad Logan Woosley added 8. For Govan, our lone senior, he finishes his career with 910 career points, 26th best among all-time Brossart scorers. Brossart closes the book on a start-crossed season at 12-19, while the Royals improve to 24-5 and they will play the role of underdog Monday night when they face GRC in the 6pm game. .

News swept the Brossart and Northern Kentucky sports communities this morning that our present Fast-Pitch Softball Assistant Coach, Boys Basketball Public Address Announcer, and former longtime Athletic Director has passed away. Melvin was quite instrumental in running the Northern Kentucky Athletic Director's Hall of Fame, and is known to be the Northern Kentucky Girls and Boys basketball historian. Melvin was looking forward to coaching the Brossart softball team again this spring with Tom Baynum, and was recovering nicely from a recent hospital stay. This is obviously sudden and shocking news to all of us.

Perhaps "Incidentally" would have been a better choice of words.

Robbie Graham was benevolent to the Lady Cats. The first quarter 31-0 score is somewhat indicative of their dominance. Our )Brossart) girls have the unenviable task of taking on the Lady Cards, in a re-match of last year's semi-finals contest, won by Brossart.

Bracken County has improved dramatically throughout this season. They play together well, play for purpose, and when they were hitting their threes in the first quarter out-scored our girls 24-17. Brossart rebounded to tie the match at 26-26 and then stalled out, playing ask and answer basketball for much of the remainder of the game. Lady 'Stangs hit their freebies down the stretch to hold off the Lady Bears. Balanced Brossart scoring led by Olivia Lloyd with 12 points , Madison Parker - 10, Bella Rowe - 8, and Molly Kramer - 8. I do not have Bracken County numbers, but was very impressed with Freshman Nicole Archibald and Junior Macie Sharp. The Lady Bears finish 14-11, and I look for them to take another step forward next season.

Diane is a fixture at Scott, working through the Ken Mueller (AD) era, and is always prominent at sporting events conducted on campus at Scott High School. Ironically, she is a member of the 10th Region Hall of Fame.

Actually Campbell County hit 10 threes. Gross - 5, Siry and Hill 2 Each, and Lavonte Parker - 1

Rough night for our guys who failed to hit a 3-pointer, while the Camels hit 9 of them. Campbell pressure limited our ability to get high percentage shots, contributing to the end result. Campbell County had four double-figure scorers - Jake Gross - 21 with five 3s, Garrett Siry 16 with a pair of 3s, Eric Davie 11, ad Aydan Hamilton 10. David Govan was the lne Brossart double-figure scorer with 12. Gross, Davie and Hamilton were named to the All-Tournament Team, as well as David Govan and Mason Sepate from Brossart.
