THUNDERBIRDS

Newport High School Friday @ 7. Should be a good one! The Highlands faithful will be out in full force.....

Final from Newport High School.

Made the switch to YoutubeTV last week from Diretv. Went from $200 per month to around $50 per month. I only lost 1 channel. The History Channel....Bought 3 Amazon Fire Sticks to Stream with even though I had a Smart TV. The Fire Stick is by far the Best way to Stream....IMO! I love it so far!

It is ironic from a program that as recently as a few seasons ago was very proud of it's bully ball style of play.

It is ironic...:thumb: I have the shirt to prove it.:laugh: I'm not denying it.

Franzen is the freshman coach?

Sorry I meant JV....He was the Frosh Coach at HHS. My mistake....

:lol2: :lol2:

 

Well sure, it's NKY. It doesn't take that much effort to learn a little bit of info about most anything. All I'm saying is...sure, Joe has some influence in there somewhere when it comes to freshman ball, and definitely some more direct influence on JV, but it's not like he's General MacArthur sitting back with his corn cob pipe and commanding the whole Pacific Fleet.

Pretty darn close to it!:laugh:Thanks for the Laugh because I needed that.:thumb:

Stand by whatever you want to stand by.

 

My overall point just is that for someone who is not a Cov Cath insider, your "it has Joe Frederick’s name all over it" statement seems a little overstated or fudged when you're...well...not a Cov Cath insider.

You do realize Coach Franzen your Freshman coach use to be at Highlands right? I'm not saying that's the source but JOAT has more insider than you would like to Accept. Don't be that Naive! We get it, we have Rats running through Ft Thomas just like you do on Dixie Hwy south of Cincinnati!

I'm sure he stops in on practice here and there, but Coach Fredrick isn't coaching freshman basketball. Matt Stevens and Steve Sorrell are the coaches.

Doesn’t Sorrell sit on the Varsity Bench? I know Highlands Frosh Coach doesn’t but Teaches the same Philosophy to his players that the Varsity is taught.

You’re right! The Ambassador of a program doesn’t need to Coach!

Culture is Culture!

I didn't see where it was an actual technical. Two players were locked up fighting for the ball, and best I could tell, there was an initial whistle and the two (Carson Schwalbach & Ayden Link) continued wresting for the ball for a very brief moment after until Ayden ended up pitched across the floor because it looks like Carson has him outweighed by a solid 40 pounds. It was right in front of the official at the baseline, yet it was the official out beyond the arc who came in and called for the T.

That’s actually the Best assessment of the play for sure. But definitely didn’t deserve a T. I was sitting 20 feet away and no words were exchanged for sure. And if there was the Official near Half Court needs to have his hearing checked because he was closer to Crazies than the play itself. But you’re spot on!

Technical called on Highlands.

Was this really a Technical? Or a case of Highlands dishing up some of CovCath's own medicine and the Refs wanting no part of it? I have been to several of these Matchups the last couple of years and this has been the common theme between these Two schools. Who's the bigger Bully! Call it what you want but it takes Two to tangle!

Like I said before that when and if these Two square up again at the Varsity level in the POSTSEASON and on a Neutral court with out of Region Officials, it will be a much different game. You won't convince me otherwise....

That was a foul late! I don't always agree with Bilas but at least he wasn't watching through Dukie glasses on one of North Carolina's last throw in's.

Not only was it a Foul they awarded Duke with the Ball. Wouldn't have mattered anyway. NC can't shoot almost 50% as a team and expect to Win. That was a Dumpster fire at the End! I actually felt sorry for NC after that game.

That tasted like Vinegar just now! LOL!

That is a pretty good game.

I forgot to add he was 11 for 18 from the field and 15 for 17 from the Free throw line. Just gets it done....

Sam Vinson on the night:

40 points

7 Rebounds

7 Assists

8 Steals

...and more Importantly:

0 Turnovers

Complete player.

Highlands is so far from the level of CCH. Highlands learned they have to do more than score to win big games.

 

Fredrick game plan strikes again!

Do I dare answer this one? Nah!

Great game by the Blueboy’s. Solid team for sure. A lot of things were determined on how this game was going to be played in the 1st 60 secs of play.

Anybody have the Number of Easy Baskets(Bunnies) HHS missed tonight? Free throws were not a Strong point tonight as well. NCC has a nice team.....

Final from B-Town!

I just heard that Frankfort cancelled against Highlands next Friday night in Ft Thomas. Dang, I was looking forward to catching them in person.

What a great Hire!

That would be a good get for the Norse. However, I think his ceiling may be higher than that.

I agree...

I heard X was there tonight. I hope he lets this process come to him. Exciting times to be a Bluebird. Sam is the Kid that everyone wants their kid to Emulate. I coached Sam in Football back in the 8th grade. My goodness he’s a gamer!

And I guess UK stays in same spot after great effort against SC?

Nope they drop out of the Top 25!

Duke will move up 1 spot with the Loss....LOL!

Final from Ft Thomas

The letters of the word Ergon can be shuffled around to spell the word "Negro". Investigators found that word hand-written on a piece or Ergon paperwork in Evans' handwriting.

And several Top Level Ex Executives of Evans Group testified in Court that's what it originated from.
