Chris Bowman--Bishop Brossart!! Very good two-way player on a first year varsity team. A load as a running back, and will wallop you on "D". Plays every down, and Lord knows he's had reason to take a few off. A bright spot in a dismal inaugural season for the Mustangs!!

2008--I give?? Scott--Baker??

Agreed--I'm just happy to see him get an opportunity to move forward with his hoops' career!! He'll be a big help to Scott this year, after their graduation losses!!

Good luck to Tyler and I hope he's found a home at Scott--He's a fine talent!!

Seems like this topic is reaching an impass, and in the end there are simply two schools of thought!! One--Let a kid quit a team in mid-season with no penalty when he's unhappy, feels slighted, team's losing too many games, he's bored, gets mad a the coach, etc. Two--Make a kid fulfill his obligation to his team, coaches and teammates and finish the season; or wait until that team's season is over to start particiption in the next sport he'll probably quit when the going gets tough. I know which team I like come playoff time!!!!

Certainly didn't point a finger at you personally, but "occasionally" I hear folks on here (BGP) complain about the private schools being able to draw kids from multiple areas????

I think Scott will wear out Ludlow 34-7!!

And you guys keep complaining about the privates???????????? :confused:

:thumb::confused:

The more I hear about this game, I wonder if it's not "huge-er" for Campbell. I know there are lots of neighborhood and even family ties involved, but CC has possible playoff seeding implications and they aren't near the rivalry for NCC that Beechwood is?? That said I'm sure both teams would love bragging rights for the next year!! Does anyone know if this is now scheduled to be an annual game, as they've not played for a while?

Not sure what designates a "unhealthy situation" but certainly there are exceptions. Regarding grades, I think they normally take care of themselves, and most schools have guidelines in place to deal with that already; but maybe a kid who has been struggling in the classroom should think twice about participating in sports to begin with??

You're right LBBC, I had forgotten what a good passer he was, and absoutley "possessed" rebounds!!

Elliott also brought a mental & physical toughness to that team, particularily the big men; that wasn't there previously. That's why he was earlier sought out by Mains & Co's AAU team when he was down in Jackson County, and then he ultimately found his way to Pendleton. He was a beast in the middle and made anyone who ventured down the lane pay the price!!

If every kid (or employee) that thought he'd been "done wrong" by their coach (or boss) quit in the middle of a season (or job), half the teams would never finish their seasons (or jobs)?? I guess it's an old fashioned adage, but I was brought up and brought my kids up to finish what I/they started--Plain & Simple!! Lots of times it wasn't easy or convenient, but you made the commitment, and you honor that commitment. Odd how things will work out in the end, even though it didn't look like it would early on!!

Thought he was already in the Campbell system for eight years??

I bet if their school name was "Russell Catholic" or "Russell Academy" you'd have 50 posts on here already telling you why!! :D

Doubt the Camels are that hard up for motivation?? Who picked Conner or Mason to beat them, they were favored over Holmes, and the SK/CC picks were about split?? Credit them for winning the games they should win!! Not sure who has the motivation here as they haven't played in a while and I'm sure the smaller school from the north would love to knock off their bigger public neighbor, and their showings against Ryle, CovCath and Simon Kenton would indicate they can. However they've got a rematch with longtime bitter rival Beechwood next week, and this time its not just for where they will play the playoff game?? Could they be looking ahead?? The Camels on the other hand have secured their playoff spot, but would love to show their program is completely back, and now the second best team in Campbell County!! They've got Dixie next week, an old 4-A foe, but hardly a bitter rival?? Both teams compete for some of the same kids, especially in the middle of the county. You could make a case that neither CC and NCC wants to risk much the next two weeks with larger goals ahead in the playoffs, but I can't imagine either will "mail it in" the last two weeks like you see sometimes in the pros. Very interesting game if you look at the behind the scenes implications!! All that said, NCC may have a little more speed and offense than the Camels, with the "D's" about even. Normally the 6-A school's size advantage will overwhelm the 2-A's in these matchups, but seeing that NCC was able to move the ball vs. Ryle, Simon Kenton and CovCath; I think they can handle CC's defense, but it won't be easy. With all the rain this week, the "field turf" at Newport may play to NCC's advantage as well. I like NewCath in a close game 24-14.

Unfortunately that's correct, but I think you'd be surprized where the injuries occur. As someone who's seen cheerleading from the "competitive" teams to the "recreational" teams, I'm guessing more injuries occur on the rec teams who often lack the training, conditioning, etc. of the more accomplished cheerleaders; but still try some of the same stunts and builds. It's a far more challenging sport now than most realize--I know I was surprized when I witnessed what they do!!

Despite a number of great players in NKY, I think its a two horse race between Farris and Maile!! Sentimental edge maybe to Farris since he's a senior and Maile will have another year.

And has been for quite a while.

Any word if they're going forward with the game today? Also, OldGuy is the ND/SK girl's game still on for Wilder today?

Didn't they have a transfer student from Florida or somewhere?

Only saw them play a couple games at the "A" last year, but I was very impressed with Edmundson. Another great UHA athlete, but one who played good basketball as well. Hopson gets all the ink, and I've heard he played well on the summer circuit; but Edmundson seemed the more polished "basketball player" in the games I saw. When Brossart's "D" totally shut down Hopson & Langhi in the "A" semis, Tyshawn kept them in the game for quite a while. Is Langhi back or was he a senior? I'd expect that UHA, along with Bardstown, June Buchanan and maybe Elliott County will be the favorites in the All "A" this year??
