There are also three other players from Silver Grove that people are looking right over the top of. It is the McCarter family. Scott McCarter played in the late 70's and early 80's. I'm not sure of all his career totals but I do know that he ended up with over 1,000 career points. Son Chad McCarter played at the end of the 90's and the beginning of the 2000's. He had over 2,000 career points and was the all-time leading at Silver Grove until his brother passed him. He was one that was extremely hard to guard. If you over played him he would just go right by you. If you backed off of him he would just pull and hit a jumper with no problem. Brother Bryant McCarter played from 2000-2005. He came out as the schools all-time leading passing his brother during the 2005 season. He also had over 1,000 career rebounds and maybe closer to over 1,500 career rebounds. He was only 6'1'' and was one the most dominant post players in Northern Kentucky while he played. This trio of family members will go down as maybe the best family to ever play at the school of Silver Grove. This family will always be remembered for all of their accomplishments that they achieved.:thumb:

Hazard also has a very nice baseball field. It is a very impressive ball field with a beautiful back drop

Corbin has a great field. Here is the website to see a picture http://www.corbinhighschool.org/baseball.html

Yes, CC had just beat them a couple weeks earlier by that score. The pitcher they threw wasn't a JV pitcher, I believe it was their #4 starter. They threw him again in the district tournament and removed him in the second or third inning. CC also had to bring in their #1 in that game to keep the Grove from scoring anymore runs. If it was for a grand slam hit in late in the game by CC then Silver Grove would've been playing in the district finals instead of CC. If you have seen him coach then you would understand why he was giving this job. As I have already said, he gives 110% every season. Do not be surprised to Boone competing this year with some of the better teams. Go watch a game or two this season and you'll see why he got this job and the opportunity.

He will do a great job @ Boone Co. He did a very good job @ Silver Grove the past couple of seasons where he hasn't had that great of talent. Last year he had two really good ball players on the squad and finished one game under .500. His team lost to Campbell County in the district tournament by 2 runs in a game that Silver Grove actually outplayed Campbell. He knows how to get the best out of squads that aren't that good so he can do great things with squads that have 10-12 good ball players on it. He will be able to decide what players will be playing varsity baseball this year instead of having to take what he was givin' @ Silver Grove. I know he is very excited about this job and he can't wait to get things rolling. I also know that Silver Grove would like to thank Wayne for all the things he did at the school. While he was there his whole heart was there and he always gave 110%. I think you could ask any coach that Silver Grove has played against and they would tell you that he did a great job with such a small school and he deserves an opportunity like the one that he has recieved at Boone Co.

I know what's going on with the whole Steve situation, believe me, I do and i'm not real happy about it. But i also talked to the AD at the school yesterday and i was informed that Ray had not resigned. I also talked to one of his assistants and they also told me that he had not resigned and he had not said anything to them. I'm not trying to call you out at all, i'm just telling you what i hear from the people incharge.

That is false information. Ray has not resigned as the girls coach at Silver Grove.

No he wont. I talk to him almost everyday and he will not be going to Ohio.

I also want to say that Tony did an amazing job down here @ Silver Grove. He knew what he was doing from day one and he did a great job at it. Coach Hart couldn't have picked a better person to replace him when he stopped coaching a few years back. I know everyone down here would like to thank Tony for everything that he has down at this school and with the team the past two seasons. He and his coaching staff did a tremendous job and they and we all are proud of what they have done to keep Silver Grove's basketball team rolling. Thank you to Matt Sharp And Mike Fennell for all that you two have done also. Tony couldn't have had two better assistants sitting beside him during every game. Tony, thanks for all that you have done. You helped the tradition roll on in Silver Grove. Good luck in everything that you guys have ahead of you and I hope all goes well. Thanks for everything. PS. Don't forget that all three of you will be known as Grovers from now on too. Enjoy it!! :thumb:

Nobody should get too excited about Coach Hart returning to the sidelines for Silver Grove b/c that is not going to happen. As I am someone who played for coach hart for 5 seasons, I know he will not return to coaching at Silver Grove.

It's official. Corey signed his letter of intent @ 6:15. Congrats to Corey and too his entire family. Also the coaching staff and the players that played with him.

That would be a good idea, but no, it will be taking place in the library at the school.

Corey Pelle will being on to play with West Liberty State today. I believe the signing time is @ 6 this evening. Again, as I said when it was first announced that Pelle would go to college there to play basketball, this is a big day in the Grove City. Everyone is excited about will occur tonight. This is big for the tiny school of Silver Grove. It proves that there are great players that come thru the system down here. Year in and year out there are always great basketball teams from Silver Grove that step on to the hard wood. This is one of the greatest players to step on to the hard wood out of Silver Grove. Congrats to the coaching staff for the job that you did with this young man. Congrats Corey!!! Keep it going thru college!! :thumb:

I've got one major thing to say here, YOU MUST NOT HAVE SEEN PELLE PLAY THIS YEAR!! And if you did, then you must not know talent when you see it. Don't forhet that Pelle put up 35 against Brossart @ Brossart, and put up over 20 the other two times they played them this year. Keep in mind that Brossart is one of the toughest defensive teams in the state. I would also like to know how you could sit here and bad mouth a high school basketball player. He's a young man don't forget. He's a great kid on and off the floor. He gets along with anybody. He is also a great basketball player, you can ask anyone around the northern kentucky area and i bet you that almost everyone one of them will agree that he is a great player and extremely fun to watch play. A school like West Liberty State offered him this scholarship because he went on a college visit there a couple weeks ago, practiced with them, and scored 28 points in the game. Yes, that's right, I said 28 points. I can't wait for the next 4 years when he is showing you that he did deserve this scholarship and he doesn't need your congratulations because he will recieve from everyone that he talks to.

I also wanted to send congrats out to Coach Bacigalupo on getting his first basketball player signed as a head coach. He, as i have said over and over on here, does a great job with the kids and has been pushing corey extra hard to hit the books and make sure he is able to go to the next level and play college basketball. What a great accomplishment and this should make Coach just as proud as the Pelle family and also the town of Silver Grove, who, as I can tell you when everyone hears the news, will be very excited. Congrats again to both Corey and his coach, Coach Bacigalupo. You guys have made this school and town proud!!:thumb:

Corey is a great ball player and a great person off the court also. I was lucky to get the chance to play with him for two seasons and also get to watch him the past two seasons. He is one of the best to ever play at Silver Grove and he has made this town proud. Now is his opportunity to show the colleges that did not recruit him that they made a huge mistake. He will help out this team out a lot. It is a great day in the Train City of Silver Grove. Congrats Corey!!!:thumb: :thumb:

I thought this was a great game to watch last night. I really enjoyed it. Of course the team i would've liked to have seen come out on top didn't but i still believe it was a great game. It ended a great career by Corey Pelle. He will go down as one of the best to ever play at Silver Grove. He's a great player and just as great a person off the court. He will help out big time for whatever college he goes and plays for. He will make a huge impact. I also want to send my thanks out to the Brossart fans for the way they have treated Pelle this. Class act and it is very much appreciated. Everyone on the Brossart side (as well as the Silver Grove side of course) was standing and giving Corey a huge ovation as he was taken out of the game in the remaining few seconds of the ball game. Again, thank you to the Brossart fans and also to 'Mustang'. Great season by the trains this year, very enjoyable team to watch. Accomplished a lot this. Won the division III title (I believe the 5th out of the last 8 years). Great job by the coaching staff this year. Tony does a great job at having his played to play game in and game out. He should be and will be a respected coach for years to come. Keep up the good work Tony. You were a perfect fit for this team and this program. Looking forward to next season. Thanks Trains!! Great season!!

Also wanted to say, great article mustang. I remember in the All "A" @ Brossart when Corey was takin out of the game, not only did he get a standing O by the Big Trains side, many Brossart fans stood up as well to cheer and let him know how good of a game he had.

Who all will be making the trip to Campbell County Middle School to watch this one tonight?

Should be a great game.. I can't wait to watch this one. How many BGPers will be at this one? probably the best game in Northern Kentucky tonight.

I actually didn't mean to do that.. I do know how to spell it, it was an accident. typo.. :lol:

This was a great article. Class act on both sides from that game. As it said in the article, that was one of Coach Bacigalupo's goals this year to get Josh into a game. Josh has done so much for this team this year and i feel great to have it happen to such a great kid. Josh is one of the smartest kids anyone will ever meet. I talk to him everyday after school and he is always talking about what he wants to do for college and what college classes he can take next year during his senior year of high school. He is always informing people on when NKU registration begins for the next semester. This couldnt have happened to a better kid. Congrats to Josh and to the Big Trains coaching staff for doing what is right!! :thumb: :thumb:

He is being looked at by several colleges. It's just a matter who offers better or home close/far away he wants to go. He play college ball somewhere tho, no worries there.

I would highly recommend going to this game tonight. It will be loads of fun and you will enjoy every bit of it. The seniors will put on a show and you will get another chance of seeing Pelle play. As i have said over and over, if you haven't gotten to see him play this year, you really need to get out and watch him and tonight would be a perfect opportunity to do so.
