Someone doesn't like NCC

Had a nice meal at Capronis in Maysville tonight. Neat setting on the river in an old train station? I think its been there as a restaurant since the 50's? Dad enjoyed the lasagna and wife had shrimp scampi with scallops and mussels.

Good to get the first W of the season. Hope the guys come to comptete tomorrow night vs. Mason Co.

DeSha's was packed. Went to Chandlers on advice from a good source but they were closed. Ended up at Capronis. Really nice. Had a very good meal.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Appreciate it.

I'll be heading to Maysville for some of the games (St.Henry). Now for the all important question….Where to eat? Someone told me Capronis? Thanks

They brought a nice crowd to the St.Henry game.

Dixie played a solid game. Nothing flashy. Few turnovers, took good shots and played strong man defense. St.Henry...we are looking for a Festivus miracle to turn things around at this point. Congratulations to the Colonels on the W.

Cooper went up 8 or so in the first quarter. Ryle played them tough after that. Both teams played hard and some good defense. Think Ryle either tied it up or so around 40 and then Kunkel hit some big 3's late for Cooper. Kunkel is looking good. A little more agressive taking it to the basket and nice outside touch.

I guess it depends on is this a poll of "what have they done so far and where they should be ranked", or " where they will be when all is said and done". Right now, NCC has gone undefeated, defeating a good LexCath at a neutral site. I looked up the latest coaches poll and the coaches think NCC is #1 right now so me putting them at #2 is no stretch. And as always, I enjoy your write ups.

At this point in the season, I'd put NCC at 2. Otherwise I think you have it right.

Camels played a nice game. I was a little surprised how well they shot from the outside. They had a short ceremony before the game for Matt Wilson's 1000th point and I believe they surprised them bringing his Uncle out pregame who has been overseas. Hope I have that right. Congratulations to the Camels on the win.

I'm guessing that all the talk of "bringing 3 new ones in" is about the refs.

Big shakeup in the 9th rankings coming up? NCC or HC at the top? Congratulations to the Indians on the win.

To the dark side, turn, you must not. [video=youtube;xHa3D-musUw]
