There should be a few good matchups between these teams to come. The All A is nice and all but district tournaments is all that really matters, I think. One of the 2 will not be making the 9th Region Tournament. Beechwood will need to catch the Indians on an off night in late February.

That would leave Holy Cross on the outside looking in if correct. Right?

That's a big win for the Cougars. Congrats, championships don't come easy.

Great stuff as always. I think this was perfectly put for what the records say about these teams. Beechwood has a tough 4 games out of their next 6. I have been riding high with the Tigers and I hope they did not peak too early. They have found a way to win some close games lately and that will need to be a trend through January. Topmiller will need to keep filling it up and avg around 26 through January. I think the gap between Holy Cross and Highlands is miniscule. Things will not get easier for Th' Cross over the next week or so and this is exactly what Ric signed them up for. Lloyd has a date in Latonia coming up soon where the Indians will be looking to serve up the Juggs a L to prove that they are a true #2. Lloyd seems to be playing some of their best ball of the year and should be looking forward to a showing that proves to themselves they belong in Tier 2. Ryle also has a tough stretch coming up that they definitely cannot afford to be missing players for. Conner should be looking to go on a good run now that they're back healthy and make a push for the top of Tier 3. I love what Dixie has going on and I think what they are motivated for is to bring a district title back to Edgewood. Did Cov Cath recieve the 2026 9th Region Championship trophy yet?

That's tough, with only 2 of them being able to make the 9th Region Tournamnet that means a very good team will be left out.

Indeed. Should be a great game tomorrow vs Lloyd as well.

Up to the Cooper game Dec. 18 the only game I think they had a full squad was against Ashland. In that time it looked like Coleman, Lewis Jr., D. Peterson and Conrad all missed games at different or the same time. Blaackar had some issues he was working through as well. I look forward to seeing those two as well. And if I can't "see" it I know Holy Cross does a great broadcast of their home games.

Good get back for the Juggs. Good chance these two meet again when the 9th Region Tourney rolls around. Looks like the Juggs are back to full strength, good for them.

They keep finding a way to win close ones.

Pendleton has some game.

Good run for Holy Cross here lately. Congrats on the championship Indians, they don’t come easily. Well deserved.

It is a great place to invest in.

I just hope February 1, 2026 is day 1 of atleast 6-7 years. No jokes intended there.

?. Sometimes it's in the DNA. Dylan has worked extremely hard. Good combination.

Has been skilled for a while. The weight room has paid dividends for him. Glad to see it.

Do not think Brocket is a sophomore. Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Hope he is though. Either way he is a problem and keeps getting better.

Crazy to think who all was involved in that game when they played Holmes. Pretty sure Sullivan was an assistant for Holmes. Wimzie's were involved. Rico was a player for Holmes. Duran Jefferson. Austin Hill. Pittman, maybe one of the best players ever out of the 9th. Oh yeah, 2 big league guys in " the next Kobe " Mayo and also Walker. Who both should have went on to play for Bob Huggins at UC which could have kept/put them in the upper echelon of college basketball. If Huggins would have used a chauffeur. If only there was Uber back then, an old fashion " yellow " cab could have worked to save it all.

Good win for Th' Cross.

I was under the same impression but haven't done any due diligence in a while. Wonder where time has led him.

Crazy both of them were there. That doesn’t seem like it was that long ago.

Common theme.

I will go with Topmiller. Not just off scoring avg but he drives this team. With that being said, the Tigers will definitely need another 1B & 1C options that's going to need to step up on a consistent basis as a legitimate contender will handicap Topmiller and will make Beechwood see who he can divert to for crunch time scoring and playmaking.

This was a rough outing for the Juggs in many aspects. Coach Walker is happy his team came away with a W and they showed they can overcome some adversity. Coach Holthaus knows his team let the opponent escape with a win that shouldn't have been had and they will find a way to pull ones like these out in the future. Both teams need to clean alot up.

Pendleton is not bad. But yes I expected a bigger margin here

The Tigers are getting a good one. Great, hard working kid. Well deserved. Glad he is continuing his playing career. Talented.
