You can say the same about both teams. You can blame Lloyd for holding the ball but also blame Dixie for sitting back in the zone and allowing Lloyd to hold the ball.

I don’t know about almost back fired. Lloyd was never losing in the 4th quarter. It was always either tied or Lloyd was up two.

Definitely one of his better coaching jobs over the course of the season. SK teams seem to typically peak midseason and fizzle out late but that’s not the case this year.

I thought about it this way…Lloyd doesn’t have a ton of shooters aside from Collins and Bresser and Newport’s size cuts off their drive. Newport has Turner and Starks inside to neutralize Walker. Turner proved to be able to step out and guard Walker effectively on the perimeter. In the game I watched Lloyd play Cooper, Pouncy wasn’t overly effective protecting the rim on defense as Lloyd’s guards got to the rim effectively and were able to finish. Walker was able to get what he wanted a decent amount of the time offensively against Pouncy. I just think Newports size at all positions bothers Lloyd the most and how they want to play.

Agree with all of this. Cooper is the biggest threat to beat Newport in my opinion. If Cov Cath has a hot shooting night they can pull it off as well. I’ve watched all of the top 4 teams play each other (Newport, Cooper, Cov Cath, Lloyd) Lloyd matches up better with Cov Cath and Cooper than they do Newport. I believe Lloyd is able to beat Cooper and Cov Cath but just doesn’t match up with Newport good enough to beat them. Very interested to see how Ccoper looks when they’re at full strength. Gonna be a very exciting postseason as always!

Cov Cath and Cooper will definitely be challengers. I think Lloyd will give them a better game if they play them again especially since Lloyd had 2 of their top 6 players out. But beat them I’m not sure.

9th runs through Newport this year.

Lloyd doesn’t graduate any players in their rotation. They’ll be really really good next year.

Had 23 points and around 15 rebounds last night in Lloyd’s win over Scott.

Juggs have won 6 in a row now. Seems like they’re starting to put it together.

Final from Erlanger.

According to the livestream I saw everyone played that normally does. Travis Krohman was out for a while but he’s back now. I believe they’re at full strength. Things aren’t great in Independence right now.

Thank you. This really just shows how good La Lumiere is, even without him they still looked like an elite team and put on a great showing. Also Cov Cath had a great showing against them.

This is no knock at Cov Cath as I believe they’re the best team in the 9th region and a top team in the state. But I did hear that Jalen Haralson La Lumiere’s best player and top 10 player in 2025 didn’t play. Just a rumor…any truth to that?

Lloyd got up 18 in the 3rd quarter and let NCC get hot. NCC was lights out from 3 all night.

Yes in Stewart’s. Stewart only got about a minute of playing time.

I actually did think the same thing before last night and was very surprised to see him starting but his game looked much improved in last night’s game. Ruthsatz played really well.

Everyone who played more than him tonight is better than him at this point. Not taking anything away from him as he’s definitely a good player.

From what I’ve watched it’s ok. They bring a few kids in off the bench who can hold their own.

When the Juggs get out and run and play fast they’re hard to stop. Whole team is athletic and can run the floor.

Final from Villa Hills.

I agree 100 percent. Cooper has a few of the best players in the region and a lot of depth to go with it. From what I’ve seen so far this season it looks as if Johnson has made major improvements in his game from last year to this year. Having him playing at the level he is will help them tremendously.

I believe Cooper’s football guys played but with it only being their first game back it will take them a few games to get back into it. Johnson not playing hurt Cooper a lot.

Lloyd dominated Goshen.

Juggs bounce back after yesterdays loss.
