CCH gets 2 for 2 at the foul line(CCH much better tonight at the charity stripe) HHS 58 CCH 56.

Great set play for Holmes to start the OT with an oop.

Figured CCH would set something up there rather than try to go 1v1 against Holmes... Did not get a very good look at the hoop.

If it has no effect on the outcome, why host??? (for the concession $'s?, the teams usually split the gate and other profits).

True, which is why I said that it is usually not the "determining" factor, but it is a factor. If you think the answer is yes, I'll agree to disagree. I do not think Coach L's answer would be yes(see if you can get him to amend the district plan to take CCH out of the district seeding/hosting plan for the 35th district. I am sure the other district members would be willing to split some of the concessions $'s that CCH would not get in the years that they were supposed to host the tourney, if CCH is willing to do so:D ).

You are right, home court advantage is rarely ever the "determining" factor in the outcome of a game, but to dismiss it as a factor at all is incorrect IMO. If you believe that not to be true than give me an answer for my last question in post #21. Do you think Coach L would choose to play the district final this year at Holmes instead of at CCH???

True that is a factor, but not the only factor. Playing at home in familiar surroundings(place you practice and play) is also weighed into home court advantage(and several other factors to a lesser degree). I agree in this case the advantage is smaller than usual, but it is not "zero".

So if you had your choice and the game could be hosted at CCH, are you saying that you would still choose to play at Holmes??? That would be your argument if you think home court has "zero impact". I agree that since some of the CCH players have played in the gym multiple times does help, but to say that home court has zero impact is just not true, IMO. Why not let Holmes host the 35th District tourney then???

I will be pulling for CCH, but I think Holmes gets it done on the 4th try on their home floor.

agreed. CCH was above 60% from the field and I am sure that HHS was above 50% as well. Both teams shot the ball very well tonight.

CCH was close to 50% from the foul line tonight(they shot better from the field than from the charity stripe)and 6 of those 12 made were in mop up with a lot less pressure. The pressure tomorrow night will be even greater. Simply put, they will need to be better to beat Holmes, rather than hope that Holmes also shoots poorly.

For this to happen CCH sure better be better at the foul line than they were tonight.

Congrats to Cov Cath, good luck against Holmes.

I agree. With the situation the way it was, it would have had to be something pretty horrendous to warrant a T.

game not over yet, CCH had a 5 point lead with just under a minute and a T called on HHS, pretty weak one at that. Jacobs redeems himself at the line and makes 4 in a row. CCH by 9 right now.

Jacobs really choking at the line... Too many mistakes for Highlands down the stretch... Good luck to the Colonels against Holmes.

Congrats to Coach Code and his team on another fine season.

It is that way in soccer. I think it is up to the region as a whole and it appears they decided on just a plain rotation.

GO BIRDS!!!:dancingpa

They do have a chance. Will be a big mountain to climb though. Will be interesting to see the Birds strategy. Do they push the pace and try to tire NDA's bigs or to they slow it down and grind it out.

Totally agree. This is going to be even worse when the KY Post ceases to exist at the end of this year.

Details???

awesome performance from the Birds tonight!!! They dished out a serious whipping tonight.

55-52 is also what I heard.

Has to be a typo, I'll find out.
