The Weyer's Jim Weyer - Newport Catholic 1953 Joe Weyer - Highlands 1986,1987 Ben Weyer - Newport Central Catholic 2016

Been quite a year and a half for Jim Weyer's grandchildren getting to play at the state level. With the Breds and Ben Weyer advancing to the Sweet 16 that makes 5 have competed at the state level in various sports. Ben Weyer - basketball 2016 Kenny Ball - baseball 2015 Justin Weyer - football 2015,2014,2013 Kathryn Ball - bowling 2016 Abby Weyer - dance 2016, and diving 2016,2015,2014,2013

The wonderful thing about the good 'ole USA - we are all entitled to have and express our opinions - however wrong they may be.

Ben Weyer - 66 points, 40+ rebounds, and 20+ blocks in the tourney.

NCC over Cooper earlier this year by 14 with both teams at full strength. Now with Cooper having players out how do they upset the Breds?

Who are those 4 or 5 teams with a better top 3 in the rotation? and who are these pitchers? Pitching is always the most important ingredient to success in baseball. Having 3 "studs" is very important in the regional 3 game format.

and thus works well for Title IX.

Its even better than you described; as Abby Weyer from Highlands was a final 16 qualifier (9th after prelims) and had to scratch from Saturdays finals due to another school event out of town. N Ky girls were 7 of top 16 and could have been 6 of top 10. Awesome.

CCH - winners of 15 in a row. - holding teams to an average of less than 50 points in these games - limiting leading scorer from each opponent to single digit totals. CCH wins by 20+

Since Feb. 1st Cov Cath has outscored Northern Kentucky opponents by 295 points. An average margin of victory of 29.5 ppg.

Congratulations to Lindsey Fox from Scott High School. She had the lead after Thursday night's prelims and finished it off today. Lindsey's point total of 413.45 far outdistanced the second place finisher by over 31 points. All 7 girls from Northern Ky advanced to today's finals and represented their schools well. Shout out to Francie Case (ND), Abby Weyer (Highlands), Sophie Middendorf (ND), Marian Tiemeier (Campbell County), Abby Miller (Beechwood) and Alexis Epperson (Scott) for qualifying for the finals today.

I think another sand storm is on the way. It just blew through Fort Mitchell.

What makes you think Salter and Huddleston play freshmen next year? Not near the back log of talent that Mayer will be pushing up against.

Pete - I'm not offended at all. I know that CovCath is really good and really deep. The problem is the complete disrespect of the kids at HHS. They don't have a lot of wins, but they have competed pretty well with everyone on their schedule. To state that a JV group would hammer them is just wrong. The varsity teams at Pendleton, Newport, Lloyd, Holy Cross, and Campbell County all either played close games or lost to HHS. I guess the CovCath JV would hammer all these teams also.

Not on the verge of, they are in the midst of. It's time to bring it back up. Varsity steamrolling NKy teams. JV is better than some varsity teams while playing freshmen. Frosh lose by a point without 2 best at that age. Rest of N Ky playing for second place for at least next 4 years.

You really believe this. CovCath 11-15 are better than HHS 1-5. Come on. The reason the score continue to to its final margin is that CovCath's 11-15 are much better than HHS 11-15. When CovCath subbed in the second half, HHS subbed. HHS basketball is not in a good place right now, but CCH JV is not better than HHS varsity, much less significantly better.

If you mean an easy CCH win, I agree. If you mean running clock at half and a 60 point margin, I disagree. This is the same HHS team that played Newport to a 1 point game, hung with NewCath for 2 1/2 quarters, played Holmes very close for a half, and battled Holy Cross only to lose by 7. They beat a decent Lloyd team last Friday night. Since the Lloyd game they have lost three games by 15, 20, and 60. Oh my.

I get your question but... those guys played in the late 1970's and early 1980's. That's 35 years ago. Lots has happened in the last 35 years.

They only have seven players dressed. Up 40+ and no subs to send in.

How many players does NCC have dressed for this game?

Last year I dug up the 2012 frosh thread while those boys were playing their senior year. Very interesting to see who played and succeeded as frosh and compare it to the results as seniors. Here we go again. This thread is long. Games and player discussions actually begin on page 4 and go through page 10. Three years ago we got great updates and info from TheOldGuy. His posts are prominent throughout this thread. Very interesting to see the kids that have switched schools, the kids that have stopped playing, and how the kids that did not play any frosh ball have impacted their teams this season.

Rather than sarcasm, how about you giving your unbiased opinion

I agree Mex - Ben gets called for 2 cheap fouls in the first. Takes him out of the game defensively. Gets beat on in the offensive end by a platoon of players and never gets a call. It wasn't occasionally, it was every trip. If Ben asserts himself offensively, he probably picks up his third foul. It was obvious this crew was not going to call the CCH contact.

First chance this season to get out to see Ben play ball. Instead, I get to see him get grabbed, pushed, held, and bumped with each movement. It wasn't basketball, it was wrestling match. Surprised he was even able to muster the couple of baskets he did get. Great job by Mayer, Heppler, and for a minute Sweeney. They executed the CCHS game plan perfectly. See what the stripes will let you get away with and continue until they call something.

Nice to see the Birds put up some points. A 74-67 game is more fun to watch and more fun to play.
