9th Region: since about 1975. PG- Dicky Beal, best player ever in the 9th region, that's why he went to UK. SG- Scott Draud, best scorer in the ninth region ever. SF-Doug Scholmer, Mr. Basketball, was the best player THAT YEAR on the best team the ninth region has seen. PF- Justin Doleman- The definition of a matchup problem, I believe he was better than Neltner. C- Jack Jennings- May be a homer pick on my part but I will take 28 and 15 every night of the week. Reserves Ross Neltner- Great Player, Mr. Basketball, wasn't quite the playmaker Doleman was and that why he is not the starter. Ronny Dawn- Scott Draud but not as good, but he can play on my team. Joe Harney- Great scorer inside and out, more athletic than he was given credit for. Derek Smith- Probably would be higher had he not been the football star he was. Great high school player, won 3 regional titles and runner-up for Mr. Basketball. Kevin Listerman- At the chance Dicky Beal ever needed to come out for a breather, that is who I would like the offense.

Same way the neighbors feels at Holmes, Ludlow, Scott, Conner, Dayton, and Bellevue.

You guys know I am a Holmes guy, but I wouldn't do it. Quite simple this is part of the Cov. Cath. mistique.

Elijah Pittman will be a sophmore for Holmes. He played quite a bit this year during the time when a lot of players were suspended.

Holmes is going to this tourney.

How did Hill and Rice look?

No that was Antwan Curry, who played at Muskingum(sp.) College, they are not related. Covington was voted Holmes MVP the past two years, and could be a stud at the DII level.

May take a beating on here for this but this years Holmes team would have been a good pick, depending on what you want in a movie.

Pretty good list. However, Jim Hicks and his staff at Conner are very good as well, talk about a tough tourney program, seems like every year they beat someone they shouldn't.

His name was Wesley Collins, he lived in Covington, went to Cov. Cath. for 3 years, transferred to Boone Co, was ruled ineligible because he lived in Covington, transferred to Holmes and was still ruled ineligible.

Congrats Mike. Dont't know Hurd but best of luck to him to.

It's apples and oranges. Some people think it's an advantage and some don't. This year Cov. Cath. beat Holmes 3 times and Holmes beats them on there home floor to win the region. On the other hand Clark Co. beat Mason in the fieldhouse. I can remember them losing to Campbell Co. and Brossart in back to back years about 10 years ago as well.

There is still better qualified canidates, like Walters or Hall.

I seen a lot of Holmes games and well, Greg Rice should be on this team somewhere. Also Todd Jacobs had a great year on a team that was in the top 10 in the state all year long. The people who voted on this must not have seen many NKY games, because these two should have at least been HM.

If Holmes is getting 5 players I seriously doubt that that Whatley is one of them.The other four maybe, but Thomas Benton will be in this game before Whatley IMO.

Good for Austin, hopefully he signs with a DI school in two years.

Greg Rice and Austin Hill will both be trying out next week. They will also both be going to Junior College first.

Possible NKY canidates could be Henley, Code, and Carr.

1A- Cov. Cath. 1B- Holmes 3- Who cares, one of these two will win it again.

MVP of the ninth region tourney, locks down the Profit kid who is going to a Big East school and is not on this team. I hope there was a two player per team limit.

Arrez Henderson not being on this team is an absolute joke.

They are both great players and great kids. They both experienced individual success. My guess is Pelle would give this award to Austin for two trips to Rupp Arena, and Austin wouldn't take that deal. This was a very special year in NKY basketball, Holmes wins the ninth and goes to the state Final 4. Brossart wins the ALL A, and them and Scott both nearly knock off two big boys in 10th region, and there was the story of the smallest school in the state winning twenty games, thanks in large part to there star that doesn't come around very often. Lets not ruin it by aruging over this, because it was a lot of fun to watch the basketball this year and in paticular both these young men. Be happy for both kids, they are friends on there AAU team and more even more Austin is happy for Pelle, and that is coming from Austin himself. Congrats to Corey Pelle and good luck at Westl Liberty State, NKU messed up by not signing you.

Junior College, I would bet my last dollar on it.
