where was this game at? and who plays in the paint for the Bulldogs now?

You guys and myself come from two different schools of thought.

 

The day that Covington Catholic is pleased with a loss and content with where they are is the day that I'll quit cheering for them. Hopefully that will never happen.

They can learn a lot from a game like that is what I am saying... Don't be content... but don't hang your head either...

Sure, if you buy into moral victories. I tend to think of it this way: You had a 9 pt lead early in the 4th qtr AT HOME and failed to hold it against a team made up of mainly SOPHS and JRs.

 

Scott County is good - not great - beatable by good teams as they've shown against Bryan Station and Henry Clay.

Or you could look at it and say that you are a regional contender and had a state contender on the ropes, and you just need to find a way to finish the job... a lot probably came out of this loss for CCH that shows them where they are compared to the best in the state and what they need to do to be where Scott County is, which is at the top...

Final...

Game was closer than the score indicates... It was a 9 point game with about 3 min. left... At the half Bellevue was up 5 and came out firing to stretch the lead to 17 at one point, but Dayton took an 11-0 run at the end of the third and begining of the fourth to cut the lead to 6... Bellevue made a three to stretch it back out to 9 at the 3 min. mark and Dayton never got closer than 9 the rest of the way... hard fought physical game...

Left @ the end of 3rd quarter

Birds 52 - Lloyd 18

 

Really felt bad for lloyd, but senior nights are usaully slow starts and the birds got a good team to play against tonight.

whose senior night?

This is somewhat surprising too... I consider Newport in the middle of the pack in the ninth, and Brossart a 10th contender...

But I do have to say that I think that the talent is there at Newport... they just don't put it together often... Should be an interesting 36th game when Newport/NC meet again...

From everything I read... this is not a loss to be ashamed of for CovCath... especially with what Holmes did tonight...

Great win for NCC but not as big of a shocker then it would have been a week ago.

I agree... The team they were playing was a different team a week ago...

I disagree espnguy... I think Logan is good enough to stop the fastbreak offense. Plus, with Logan I don't think that they would have scored because Ludlow had so many turnovers and Logan always brings the ball down the court... So Dayton wouldn't have had that many points as they did... I'm not saying that Logan would have won the game for them but it would be a big difference with him... It would have came down to the wire, most likely.

Okay... going back and looking at things...

Would Logan have helped? Definatly, no doubt. But one guy wasn't getting eaten up by the press in that game, it was all of them. Logan wasn't going to throw it in to himself, pass it to himself, drive the middle and dish to himself. Maybe there wouldn't have been as many steals, but there would have still been a fair amount because everyone else on the Ludlow reserve team was throwing it away.

And going back to look at some stats.... The fourth quarter was played with a majority of Dayton's players that play a fair amount of Varsity time out of the game and in the locker room. So the fourth was Ludlow's starting reserve (minus Logan) against Dayton's reserve reserve... Fourth quarter scoring was Dayton 13, Ludlow 12. Ludlow reserve starters had 19 total points. Dayton had 19 total points in the second quarter. Ludlow had at least 20 turnovers. Dayton's reserve starter had 8. Dayton reserves leading scorer had 15 in 3 quarters, Ludlow's had 9 with 6 of the nine coming in garbage time. The most points Ludlow reserve scored in a quarter was 12. The most points Dayton reserve scored in a quarter was 19, while the least they scored in a quarter was 11(least Ludlow J.v'ers scored in a quarter was 3)... Would the game have been closer, yes. Would it have been within 10 most likely not. With a good night from Logan they get cut 7 or 8 points off each end, give or take a few, which would still be around 15 point margin. Bottom line is while Logan would have definatley helped, he isn't a 30 point difference maker. Dayton Junior Varsity was really clicking the other night, best that I have seen them in the handful of times I have seen them, and when all of their players are having good nights and playing together, they are a very good team...

P.S.

Before the first Dayton/Ludlow j.v. game is mentioned, Dayton J.V. was missing it's three man and it's off guard for the first game who combined for 19 this game and also was playing with about 7 guys including 2 8th graders as anther guard was knocked out of the game late in the game, one of the backup post come to find out was playing on a high sprain in his ankle that he is walking with a boot for now and is out for the year, and anther backup swing man was just coming back from about a month's absence at the begining of January because of personal reasons.... All these players (minus the backup post who is out for the season) combined for 25 points. May it be pointed out in that game Logan was held to 2 points...

North college hill, dont have any weak players they can all play. :dancingpa

I know?.?.?. Why was that in response to me?

WOW, this makes SL look very good. Dont know much about Holmes, but for the #14 team in the state (according to BGP) to get beat this bad by NCH without 2 of their best players, it makes SL's game against them earlier this season look very impressive.

Holmes is in a shaky state at this point to say the least...

Omg... The jv team got beat real bad without logan... Definitely part of the outcome... The first time the two teams play ludlow won by 2... Without him they got beat really bad, about by 30.

no offense FP... but Logan wasn't going to score the31 points it would have taken to tie that game....

But to details of the V game....

It was close until the 3rd quarter... At the half Dayton was down seven 17-24 using a sort of floating match up man/box and chaser looking thing with the guards and playing 3 men down low on Penick... Though Penick only had 13 points and King had 20 I think Penick was the biggest factor in this game with his ability to draw more people into the lane, giving open looks to King and Rouse, and by his passing ability, because you don't often see a 6'9'' guy leading the break, and he did it well... He is improving very much....

There was a Wright State scout there watching Dan...

I heard Rice only...

So... did Dixie just get out-athleted? or was there something else?

Final...

Rice and I believe his name is Higgins(senior)....

Jamar Higgs.... I thought he played???

SK lost by 7. Good game but Highlands pulled away in the 4th. I believe the final was 45 - 37.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that 8 points? :confused:

Justin Pelle is not hurt... He has an ankle brace but thats it he is still playing... as of last week...

Another tough game Friday night as the Panthers take on rival Bracken for the third time this season. The first two games were close but maybe Augusta can pull one out this time.

 

Newport is a very athletic team, they could be a sleeper in the 9th Region.

they have had trouble playing together in big games and lost to the 9th favorite Holmes by about 20 last week...

Owens from Boyd County.

 

UK.

WVU.

CINN.

UMASS.

MARSHALL.

SOUTHERN INDIANA.

WESTERN KY.

MISSISSIPPI.

HAWAII PACFIC.

 

Thats all I know so far,but pretty impressive.

Cincinnati is recruiting him? Who do they have recruiting? :lol:

But seriously... All I know about the kid is what I read... How big is he? Stats?

This is somewhat surprising to me...

Final

Baker had 33 for Calvary...

I'd say E-town wins this one. Game is at John Hardin, 2nd half of a girl/boy doubleheader. This game is for the #1 seed in the district. Without a major upset these teams should meet 2 more times.

So these two very good teams could end up playing 5 times this year???

I know that Dan Runion (T) and Matt Atkins (TE) of Newport didnt sign their LOI last week. I know that they were waiting on a few things and from what i hear they will be signing with D2 Kentucky Wesleyan this week. CONGRATS to those fine young men.

What about big Glenn Young? Last I heard he was headed for Western... is this accurate? or the James' from Newport, Glenn and Thomas... I know they are both involved with basketball still, but both had great years on the gridiron also... Know anything about any of them jughead?

:thumb: I must agree with you..

Do you know what schools Dan is talking to Zig? JW...
