That's hilarious bro. If game was at Highland Park, home of Highlands baseball, admission is nadda! So yeah, $6 for a JV game is a joke. And before you say that also covers ticket printing, ha, sounds like those are last years tickets so they are recycling. Save a tree! I've always said Highlands needs to somehow charge for games but they don't. It's cool though!

Just got word Coach Hubie is retiring. Great guy and I wish him luck. Mount St. Joseph University

Got to be honest, I have seen more NKU basketball the last 2 nights than in all the almost 30 years together since I graduated there in '87

Thats true. Rather see both win. Let them play UL lol!

Was told an early bracket had UK/Oakland matchup. How cool would that be to see UK/NKU in Indy!

Not surprising.

Last year, I told several CCH peeps that if CCH didn't win big, then there were bigger powers messin with them than just Highlands. Highlands had some quality players last year. Problem was that CCH had more quality players and a better mindset from coaches on how to implement those players. Highlands coaches were steadfast on platooning and not adjusting personnel until late in the season. Now, would that of made a difference in the CCH game? Doubt it on the outcome, but maybe closer than final score. Definitely better than 3-8 IMO. I think with BW taking back the defense, along with a new mindset and bringing in/changing other coaches responsibilities will improve this years Highlands team. There are a lot of really nice players coming up in the system that will help immediately if positioned correctly and the parents buy into it. Add in current upper class men and they will be very good. Play the best and the success will come. Player sacrifices (change positions) are what makes the "team" better. 1st game between these two will be on a Friday night in Park Hills right? Which btw, I think is a horrible idea of giving up Sat. afternoon game advantage. But that's just me. I see this series becoming a not so one sided affair as it has been the last 10 years. Games will be much more competitive from here on out IMO.

So, same old same old

Hehehe oakie dokie my friend!
