Spencer Co?

Stats are available on Riherds....all you gotta do is read those and I have seen them play 2 games which is really all I needed to see to be quite honest. You would be surprised how reliable my source is...but I wont divulge.

Highlands replaced their floor a few years ago after 60 years of wood floor laid on concrete.

Thanks for the clarification CWB. Cool stuff....

I don't believe he went to St Anthony. He grew up on the Eastside of Newport and was friends with my Dad who also lived on same street (Park Ave maybe) as grade schoolers. I think the A might stand for the old St Anne's that used to sit up on the hill and was torn down for the Newport Pavillion development.

Big loss for Birds and very nice addition for the Breds. He frees up Hall to score from the wing and not have to run the point. How about Hall with ice in his veins. Got the home bounce!!!

Very nice gesture but that entire gym needs revamped especially the lighting.

Not that these 3 kids would have changed the outcome of this game but Salter, Huddy and Posey not on the Highlands roster hurts no matter how you look at it. These are 3 kids with National AAU experience over the years vs a group of kids out there now who literally pick the ball up in October when hoops starts. Outside of Freshman Sam Vinson (Gametime?) and Junior's Ryan Leigh/Ben Sisson who both might play in some spotty AAU tournaments for Omega I'm not sure I can name another kid who does play AAU in the off-season. Nate Roberts I believe may have filled in for Tricia Macke's Royals squad as a backup player but that is it. Spencer Macke obviously has but he's been relegated to strictly JV this season due to the transfer. Zero Seniors play AAU in the off-season from my understanding. A few of the freshman I believe play on Trevor Barth's team with Vinson and they usually compete well in statewide tournaments. Meanwhile you have Walter, Fredrick, Davin, Ruthsatz, Fleek, Thelen and Deer all playing highly competitive AAU in off-season. Throw in the Mayer brothers who are both Div 1 athletes and its a recipe for a State Championship caliber team.

CJ is turning it on and only taking 14 shots a game on avg. That should increase IMO if the Colonels want to win Region. They need to go to their cowbell.

The Bluebirds get up off the mat from Mondays loss to CovCath and stifle a 3-10 Anderson Redskin squad at home. They improve to 11-11 on the year. Fort Thomas Matters Sports

Blowout ! Newport is so unpredictable.

Especially when they might feel like it will be a less than competitive game....or maybe they didnt want to hear the "Lets Play Football Chant?" :sssh:

Correct and I heard he had a really good JV game. The JV team seems to be the bright spot of the program right now. I wouldnt be too surprised to start seeing a couple of those kids moved up and playing Varsity after this coming weekend when the JV Tournament continues. I believe Highlands has Cooper on Sat at 1:30pm, a team they lost in OT to earlier in the year. 13 of the 19 Bird Turnovers were committed by Sr's according to the stat chart above.

I will say this those kids work their tails off at CovCath. Even after a 40-plus point win I bet there were players in the gym this morning shooting around before school started. It goes back to that word culture and they definitely have a winning culture add Covington Catholic.

There might be a correlation over those three years of superior Talent.

I heard the JV game was really competitive, Colonels by 3 or maybe 5 on a useless bucket to end the game.

Why are you shocked? Not sure I saw one bounce pass by Highlands.

Almost perfect 1st half by Colonels jumping out 51-16. Running clock saved the Birds from getting a C Note hung on them. Birds really struggle passing the ball where as the Colonels deal the ball around about as good as any HS team I've seen. CJ was en fuego...27 on 1st half.

68 - 18 now....wow

No AJ and No Michael Mayer....let That sink in.

51 - 16 at half Birds will not get mercy from Ruthsatz, they better fight til the end regardless of the talent difference.

Is there a live broadcast?

Highlands led by Barth.

I think the Poore boys can get em by the Colonels.

LCA led by Junior Kyle Rode. Here is the combined stat line during the 4-game tournament stretch: 67 pts, 31 reb, 22 ast, 10 stl. Also shot 46 percent from the field and 21-of-23 FTs. h Congrats to LCA on the Championship and WV for a great tournament.
