imo

Which bracken game are you referring to b/c I was the one at Villa Madonna and St. Pat had a 9 point lead at the end of the 1st, an 18 point lead at the half, a 27 point lead at the end of the 3rd and went on to win by 32. So it was never close and the lead kept building. The first Bracken County game wasn't really won by a large margin so I think the score did reflect the game pretty well. As for St. Henry, I don't remember it being a close game either. The Saints led that game by ten or more at the end of every quarter. But you are right, the score in this (Paris) game was not reflective of the game at all. It was too close for comfort.

:ylsuper::thumb:

I expected the final score to be closer, but the game itself, after Paris came back into it in the first quarter, was close until the middle of the fourth quarter when the Saints defense kicked into high gear and took control. It was a good game, though. Good Luck Saints!

....and since there was a coaching change at Paris, apparantly the new coach and/or the AD were not aware. The game was agreed on by Coach Douglas and Coach Brooks back in the spring when the teams drew pairings at an "All A" meeting.

St. Pat wasn't the only one(s) who thought there was a JV game, KHSAA sent referees for the JV game that wasn't supposed to happen. Easy money for them since they got the night off with pay!

slow down.......Brossart and St. Pat both have to win a game before Friday.

By "mustle" I assume you mean if the officials let Paris play physical....??? If so then the officials aren't doing their job very well. Basketball isn't supposed to be intentionally or unintentionally physical, that's why they call physical contact "fouls". Also, do you mean St. Pat hasn't played any physical (as in teams that would hurt them, literally) teams? Or do you mean they haven't played any good (skilled) teams?

I really don't think it has stolen the thunder of the Varsity game at all. I do think it is good, however, that the issue was cleared up before fans and a bus full of girls showed up in Paris for a game that wasn't going to happen. Much like the discussion on this thread of the site of the game has enlightened those who thought the game was going to be played in Bracken County due to an incorrect posting on the scoreboard and in the Ledger.

Sorry but as of last night there was a JV game, The JV game was agreed upon during the "All A" draw in spring of 2009. When there is a play-in game there is the option of both teams agreeing on a JV game (which was agreed upon). St. Pat was notified just this morning that there would not be a JV game.

Good question? I was wondering the same.

There is a JV game at 6 pm. St. Patrick's bus and team are traveling to Paris for this game. Riherds scoreboard has the game being played at Bracken. That is where the confusion is coming from. That is probably where the Ledger got there info also.

GRC called it b/c their parking lot was not cleared, from what I heard.

But in paNDA's defense,he first line of the post is "Girls Basketball Northern Kentucky":popcorn:

Okay, so back on topic. It was a win and that's commendable. What I did notice was that neither team seemed to be playing really well and GRC was having a really bad night (or if that was typical play for GRC then they are having a really bad season). If you have followed GRC this season you would see that they have only manged to beat 4 teams for a total of 5 wins. Last year this would have been a "big win" given the fact that GRC had a stronger program and Mason County was in a rebuilding phase after the loss of Chambers Litzinger and Cline. This year's game was exactly what I would have expected based on the season each team is having. I expected a game that could have gone either way and in the end that's what it was. GRC, for whatever reason doesn't seem to be the GRC of the past. GRC lost two to graduation and losing the older Rogers girl I'm sure has made a difference, but Mason County comes back with everyone from last season. A team needs to have players that can step up and fill the void and GRC didn't seem to have much depth in that respect. At least this is my observation after watching the game Monday night. I will agree with mcpapa...#4 Brittney Black can shoot! And P. Rogers is a solid player as well. But beyond that on Monday there wasn't much else offensively for GRC. But on any given day things can change and that is true for any team.

So who is #1. Montgomery?

That's a given in the 16th if you are a team not from the 16th.

Nice picture.

Ouch!

I was at the game and saw this happen. The players were lining up at the lane for a free throw and the ball was laying on the floor, on the out of bounds line in the end zone, not moving or rolling so it didn't need to be chased, just picked up. The ref was standing under the basket a little off center and the ball was just a couple feet from him but he made a player come to the end zone, pick it up, give it to him and then resume her position and then he threw it to the shooter for the free throws. It just looked really strange to say the least. I mean he was right there.

Woodford County at Berea, I believe

St Patrick plays St Henry in the St Pat gym tonight.

It was actually an 8th grade night and the Saints let the Lady Royals use their gym and wear home uniforms so they would be the home team in their pictures. They had no home games because they were in another conference near Frankfort.

Congrats to the Royals on the win and to Holy Cross for hanging in there despite losing 7(correct me if I'm wrong) seniors from last years squad. Sounds like this was an exciting game.

I really think St. Patrick is the better team but the fouls called early on took them out of their game. They were not playing as agressive as they should because they were afraid of being called for fouls. A couple of players were in foul trouble in the first quarter and that had them all playing a bit more a conservatively on defense.

That was a sad, sad call. Haight setting a screen and her own player runs right into her and somehow St. Pat gets whistled for the foul. Ref should have called a travel and gave the ball to the Saints.
