Would love to see you post your non-state tourney results! To start with this one - of interest because it brought together many of the best (not all, mind you) 7th grade players in NKY. With a core of kids from the Conner feeders, they came together as the NKY Cougars. Six programs and nine schools in all were represented as they won their bracket at the Battle in Rocky Top tournament in the 7th Grade Restricted Division (no skill player above 150 lbs.) by a combined score of 86-0. Lots of names to watch on this team heading into high school! As a warm up, Highlands 7th and NKY Cougars 7th played a live scrimmage on November 14. NKY Cougars 38 | Highlands Bluebirds 6 Battle in Rocky Top results were similar as the NKY Cougars proved to be dominant.
