Coach Chevalier did a really fine job winning a big game tonight. He prepared a nice game plan, he made some smart adjustments and good substitutions, he remained patient during a difficult 3rd quarter stretch, and he believed in his seniors. Dixie's chemistry is as good as it has been all year. The Colonels still did not hit on all cylinders. They have more potential to score on offense. Tonight they won with defense and key rebounds... which came from a lot of heart. The Cheerleaders and Band were on tonight as well. Should be a good day at school tomorrow... Go Dixie !!!

I found the answer in another thread by the Guru.

What's up with that?

Boone is not in. Ryle beat them tonight. Sorry for the dup... we entered at the same time But, I agree with your winners and runners-up, putting Ryle in Boones' winner spot.

Ryle won the second game. Conner will now play the Raiders for the District championship Friday night at St Henry District High School Friday night at 7:00.

Strange comment. 1) Ryle 2) St. Henry 1) Dixie 2) Ludlow 1) CCH 2) Holmes 1) Highlands 2) NCC

Seemed like the ceremony took a long time... combined girls, boys, cheerleaders. They should have swept the floor afterward. There was a lot of slippin' and slidin' going on in the first quarter.

The Colonels had really good team chemistry tonight. Keener was "hotter than a pistol". This should be Dixie's modus operandi in the tournament. There are seven players who are capable of having hot nights, and it is not unrealistic to think that several can do it on the same night. They've done it in spurts (like the first quarter against Cov Cath) throughout the season, but have not sustained it for four quarters prior to tonight. Congrats to the SK Seniors... you should be proud of a fine season.

Dixie's win at Boone this week adds another twist to this plot... danger seems to be lurking around several corners.

I like Dixie 56-52.

Mr. Rice was sitting on the front row of chairs on the floor tonight during Taft's game.

Cook is going to Ohio State. He was the best player (#14 from Dayton Dunbar) in the second game tonight.

Kyle Howard of Scott.

8 minutes (4 per overtime ) The Raiders got to shoot a lot of free throws in OT, and once they got a lead early in the 2nd overtime, Dixie had to gamble with a press and gave up some long-pass layups.

Dixie started the game missing a few shots, fell behind 8-0, coach became disgusted and pulled the starters (at least the 3rd time this year), and the hole quickly got deeper. The Colonels spent the rest of the game clawing to climb out. 5 Colonels fouled out. At least 1 Raider fouled out.

Yes, that is correct. Box score: Ryle 16 9 .9 ..7 .11 19 -71 Dixie 2 15 10 14 11 11 -63

Ryle and CCH were the other winners.

Sorry, I don't remember the final score so I can't start a new thread. But, it was very close to this prediction. Holmes was up 20 when the benches cleared for the last few minutes.

Ryle/Dixe at 7:30 CCH/Conner at 9:00

NewCath beat Newport.

Conner beat Scott in the nightcap

Henry Clay..... 20 17 13 27 -77 Dixie Heights.. 17 18 18 14 -67 Dixie hung in there with another top contender. Similar to the Scott County game, although they only stayed with the Cardinals for 2 quarters instead of 3. Henry Clay dominated the boards, using their physical size advantage to put the game away. Henry Clay puts a very physically gifted team on the floor.

Did you see the nun and the priest in the Holmes section? Great stuff :jump: When CovCath got the ball back and called a time out in the last 12 seconds or so, the Colonel Section chanted "God's on our side"... Holmes responded with "We've got defense". That was a good comeback.

Arrez made a nice steal and was headed for a highlight dunk when he stumbled. Mr. Billy Walker will show him how to do it right next month in Farifield :sssh:
