Please bring back the Saturday Night Final
Also what is causing the lower attendance numbers is a lot of the old timers are beginning to not come anymore, this has been happening thre past several years, younger people are not coming.

They should keep it the way it is! Ask the kids who get to the finals how they would like it. As was said two games on Sat is not good baker all and not good for the kids. Did someone actually compare 2 or more AAU games in a day to a state-semi and state final? Not even in the same ballpark! It won't start on a Tuesday as its one more day out of school. And what has been said many times it red book is killing the tourney

Is CovCath on the verge of the Greatest 9th Region Dynasty Ever?
Lol at all these assumptions that Scott will or may leave, I think some of it is wishful thinking. As kyvince mentioned, would St. X be able to offer enough? Plus, not everyone is after money or more "attention". Scott and his family are happy at CCH and where they live now as well as the ties they have in NKY. The key word is "HAPPY"! Just because you are good or great at what you do doesn't mean you have to move to what some think is greener pasture. Most parents at CCH sacrifice a lot for their boys to attend there, so to say that families will not have a problem spending money on an apartment isn't true. Think of this, what if a new coach would come into CCH but he has 3-5 of his starters from his old school following him, how do you think that will go over at CCH? I don't think the parents at St X will like or, or allow it either. Again, there is A LOT of "IF's". Money and more fame isn't everything, happiness IS! Scott is not going anywhere!

Purcell Marian Forced Out Of Ohio Tourney
Uh, I don't know, how about an idea of "innocent until proven guilty? Fact: The kid, his family, and his old school knew that he played a few minutes in a game before transferring. Anything other than that? Where are the facts? And the old someone "informed" the association after someone wins thing. Sounds like someone may have had an ax to grin.

Purcell Marian Forced Out Of Ohio Tourney
^ again, what proof is there that PM "is in the wrong"? There were conversations with the old school of the kid, no one told PM the truth, not the kid or his family (and the just may not have seen a potential issue), and not the old school. You can ask all you the questions that you want, but if people don't tell the truth you at risk.

Purcell Marian Forced Out Of Ohio Tourney
People are assuming that the PM coach and administrators didn't ask questions. As was mentioned, in Ohio, if you transfer you sit out for awhile, not the whole year. After the kid did transfer around Christmas break PM did in fact sit him until he was allowed to play, and even then it was only a couple of minutes during a blowout win. I see the rules, but in this case to punish an entire team is just wrong, I may have some other views if the kid is a great player who will see more time than just at the end of a blowout. The kid and most likely the parents knew he played in a game at his old school, as well as the coaches at that school. It is their responsibility to tell PM. But I guess since he wasn't going to play much, and would not determine if PM won a game the kid and the parent didn't mention it, figuring "He isn't an all star and if he gets in PM is either up or down a lot in a game. And why does this come out now? Sounds like someone had an ax to grind.

Has HC rendered the All-A meaningless?
So this is about private/Catholic schools? The old "They win too much so lets use that as an excuse to get rid of them?" I am all for reducing the enrollment qualification, how much? I am not sure, but some regions may not be able to make it work with fewer teams. To remove private and or Catholic schools just because they are private and or Catholic is just wrong.

Is CovCath on the verge of the Greatest 9th Region Dynasty Ever?
I consider a dynasty as a "run". For example, Beechwood's run in the 90's in football. So, IMO if CCH can do well this coming week, and/or the next few years in going to the Sweet 16, go deep in the Sweet 16 over the next couple of years, that I would put them up there. If they are able to get to the title game a couple of times in the next few years, and win one or two more, IMO they have the top spot without question. CCH had a dynasty in the late 60's and early 70's correct? 5 regional titles in a row? What was their record in the Sweet 16? Holmes has a three year run a few years ago, and the third year they won the Sweet 16. IMO this can be considered a dynasty. How many titles does Holmes have? How many titles does Highlands have? I am not interested in viewing at all of the years of a program when I look at a dynasty.

Until Scott desides to make a move, such as to Cincy St X, he is the coach at CCH! All this talk about he could go here he could go there, or I heard such and such school will go after such and such coach has no merit. Possibly it's wishful thinking of St X? We will never know until Scott makes am announcement. But again, until that happens, if it ever does, he is the coach at CCH. Some people are happy where they are at and don't want or need to move. Some may not want to deal with the drama at St X, it was mentioned about the mob metality there, some may not want to deal with that. But, all we do know is the future is very bright for CCH. They may or may not win it all again next week, it's hard for even great programs to repeat. But CCH has a chance to be in the running to win the region for the foreseeable future.

Do you believe there is other intelligent life in the Universe?
- One of Saturn's moons might have warm enough water for life, research shows
One of Saturn's moons might have warm enough water for life, research shows - CNET Solar System Exploration: News & Events: News Archive: Saturn Moon's Ocean May Harbor Hydrothermal Activity The dust particles were rich in silicon, which provides a clue the researchers believe points to the hydrothermal activity. Here's why: On Earth, small specks of silica -- the oxidized form of the element silicon (PDF) -- are most commonly formed through hydrothermal activity, says the statement. So the researchers who examined Cassini's data believe the particles swirling around Saturn formed the same way -- by hydrothermal vents on the bottom of the ice-covered ocean on Enceladus, the planet's nearby moon. Their thinking is that beneath the icy crust and ocean that covers Enceladus, there is hydrothermal activity creating water with temperatures of at least 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit). This activity dissolves the minerals from the moon's interior -- maybe even from deep in its core. As the minerals rise on the hot water jets, most of them condense out as the water cools, leaving the nano-size particles of silica floating around. Those particles are then embedded in ice beneath the moon's icy crust and when they're ejected into space by the at least 101 geysers on the moon, the ice erodes and the particles float over to orbit Saturn.- R.I.P.
