Great game by Goetz. Put the Crusaders on his back in the 2nd half. Double teamed most of the 2nd half and still hit shot after shot. Really liked how he realized Beechwood was running 2 at him and got some wide open looks for his teammates. Heck of a stat line.

Amazes me how many people in attendance don't know the rules about final .3

I was sent a picture of him and I'd go with 6'9-6'10. Heard he was a possible soph transfer and not Jake Walter unless he got a really good tan

Really proud of the Cru tonight. Many people weren't even giving them a chance in this tournament. Just ran out of gas. They all should hold their heads high. Hats off to CCH. They are the better team.

How about Adam Goetz? Tonight the area was introduced to one of the top players. IMO he's as good as any guard in NKY (excluding Boldeb) Kid is a gym rat who has worked his tail off since I knew him at knee high. Been awhile since the Cru has had someone like him.

Clyde: Curious who from St H is now on CCH squad?

Did anyone realize the clock kept running for 15sec after the ball went out of bounds early in the 4th qtr? Maybe around 6min mark.

 

My top five:

 

NCC

Holmes

CovCath

Dixie

Cooper

 

next 3

 

Boone

Conner

St Henry

 

the next group in no particular order

 

Holy Cross

Highlands

Import -- I mean Newport

Ryle

I gotta say Stinkyboy II has it right on. Only thing I would possibly change is remove Highlands and watch out for Ludlow. They have some nice returning starters and Coach Hart will only except 110%effort.

I forgot about this one! Spillman got the steal and the bucket that they thought was for the win and celebrated while Walt Allen ran the court and make the layup at the buzzer! Great game!

This is always the game I think of. It was do thrilling. I remember walking out and my wife saying "that was the best game I've ever seen"

No one will talk about St Henry but they return a lot. Noble and Kunstek down load could be a load. Rechtin and Plummer will be the senior guards, both kept improving as this season went on. Not to mention Adam Goetz will be a soph and he has a lot of promise in a program he's basically been in since birth.

That's really cool. Changes an impression I had of him. Thanks for sharing

From what I hear Chris Mack is close friends with Coach Ruthsatz do I believe he's there for multiple reasons.

I agree neither team played well but In my opinion a lot of the sloppy play was a mixture of many things but one of the big reasons was the type of defense being played. No one was really getting easy shots off. Even the 3s were somewhat contested.

Funny...I remember the Cooper fans posting how Cooper just played bad the first time St Henry and Cooper met when it was ugly and pretty close. Must of coincidentally played bad again vs the Cru. Or just maybe it was the way the Cru planned it. Hmm

Got to go with Alex Trentman of Brossart and Jordan Noble of St Henry.

Love how NCC's staff takes up 2 rows. Does the entire staff need to be in attendance?

I've got to say this: This Cru squad played fairly well tonight and proved to me if they start clicking...they actually can play with anyone. They will not be a easy draw for anyone come Tourn time.

72pts tonight and that's with an awful 5pt 3rd Qtr.

Also I'm very proud of these seniors. I'm honored to watch them grow up. I think the best ball is still ahead of them. Keep working Cru

I missed some of the player intros. NKYBoy's nephew was crying too loudly.

Haha! Good to chat with you. Yeah he wasn't the only one that noticed the St Henry Band needed some more practice.

Oh and Ross Hart at Holmes

I'd go with Tony B. at CovCath and Brett Blevins at Cooper before McFarland or Hester

I will miss th games tonight is it possible to watch them on delay from this site?

I will put Alec Garnett from Conner against any freshman and feel good about it.

I'm excited about this kid's future.

AS WILL HIS DADDY!!!!

Best news I've heard all week. Very happy for Zach. An extremely hard worker and even better person. If he stays healthy he can definetly help the Cru down the stretch.

Hoops5 nailed it on the head when stating Zach has supported his teammates all year. He is the biggest chearleader they have had during a tough season and at the same time I've seen him even get on some of his fellow teammates when he thinks they can do better. Great story!

I like Holmes red away jerseys a lot!

Crusaders 2nd half troubles again

What are everyone's thoughts for this game tonight? Haven't seen Boone but would think the teams are pretty evenly matched.

I didn't say anything about Cooper but I do think CovCath plays just about as fast as anyone in the area. Holmes obviously does it best but even at times they play too fast and that hurt them on a few occasions during the CovCath game.

Say what you want but I think CovCath plays faster than Cooper. Try to get out and run the fast break a bit more. I don't know their 40 times but CCH really can run.

CCH isn't fast and athletic either. If Holmes is the measuring stick no teams in NKY are fast and athletic.

I think Cooper is getting better but not there yet. I see them really peaking again when districts and regionals come around.
