If you get a chance you need to check out a sandwich place nearby called Beebs and Bubs. You will not regret it. It's about a mile or two from the school.

I'm pretty sure Lonneman was the head JV coach this year and Haskamp was the assistant varsity coach. They had a very young team this year and improved a TON during the season.

Tony Haskamp and Ben Lonneman at Villa Madonna are towards the top of the list.

Ludlow by 10.

I heard there were budget cuts at Villa and the ADs job was cut to part time as well as Coach Starkey's teaching job.

Villa Madonna is open.

Do you have a list of the award winners?

I was thinking the DIII schools. However, I would bet a meal and a beverage from the Ludlow Yacht Club that Ludlow beats a DII school this year.

They're the team to beat in NKY small schools. Great young players. Coach Hart is doing a great job in Ludlow. The only question is whether or not any of the small schools can keep it close. It's tough to say how they will do against the bigger schools though. I don't think they have the fire power to hang with Dixie but on any given night you never know.

I agree with Faust and Brannen towards the top of the list. I also believe Booher to be at the top as well probably at the very top. I don't think he's getting as much love from other posters just because he hasn't been around as long as other coaches. (In NKY). However, his resume may be the best in NKY. I think one coach that doesn't get enough credit is Tom Dilts at Dayton, while he doesn't have regional titles or district titles on his resume his team always plays tough and seem to play well every year. Add to that many of the issues he may have to deal with in addition to coaching.

Within their district, I'm not sure if they can beat Dixie (not many teams will be able to). After they play during the season I'm hoping that they don't see the Colonels until the district finals. I'm willing to bet that St. Henry, Lloyd, and Ludlow are thinking the same thing.

Was anybody there? How did it go?

The NKBBCA East-West All Star Game is Wednesday 6/22 at Scott High School. The Junior Teams play at 6 and the Senior Teams play at 7:30. Does anyone have more information on this game? Is anyone going out to check it out?

It seems the Beechwood may have its way agian with the NKY DIII schools. After that it seems like a pretty big battle for 2nd place. Who seems the most likely to knock off Beechwood the 2nd time around? Who seems the most likely to be the one awarded the 2nd place ribbon and handshake? After watching box scores, I would probably have to say Ludlow for 2nd place and I don't know if anyone can knock off BW.
