Flotsam

I like Highlands' chances at Dale Cecil Memorial against any team not named Trinity. I suspect the Birds are in reload, rather than rebuild mode. Look for them to roll by a couple td's.

Clyde takes a kinder and gentler approach to being a fan. One of the many things I admire about him. :thumb:

Hey what gives? When Coach Ruthsatz came to Cov Cath I tought we were going to get all of the basketball transfers???

Blake must be as strong in the library as he is on the gridiron. :thumb:

Great run by the Mustangs. The talk of northern Kentucky. :thumb:

I'm not saying that Brossart is a Cinderella story but word out of Lexington has Coach Verst working on the "picket fence" play for the Final 4 games?

I was thinking the same thing. When today's results posted giving Brossart a for sure Final 4 game on Friday and a maybe game on Saturday night, I envision Mustang pulling his ride across the interstate median strip in southern Georgia. Good bye I-75 south. Hello I-75 north.

Bring on the '27 Yankees. :thumb:

I read that Hightchew scored 2 of New Cath's 3 runs. Dude is clutch.

PP92 should hold out for a spot in the Birdsnest.

It won't be the same. :notworthy:

I am listening to a bit of Dave Schabell and color man Brian Rieger on the Brossart internet radio broadcast from today's game. Excellent coverage. (The Mustangs" failed to put ink in the scorebook " in the first......coming to bat in the 2nd and hoping to " get the party started". " Trevor spins his bat like former Reds player Walt Drobo". ) Walt Drobo? Who the heck is Walt Drobo??? This guy is great. :thumb: :thumb:

Highlands and New Cath in the 9th Region finals. Ft. Thomas Youth Baseball represents. :thumb:

Pioneer to Bluebird. Maybe this will start a trend. Wonder if UK#1fan will be next??

Very gracious sentiments. Please post more. You have much to contribute. :thumb:

Wasn't Coach Listerman a great guy - yes great teacher - yes considered state wide to be one of the best coaches in the state - yes (an additional question) Didn't he prosper at Cov. Cath. for 27 years before moving on to Cov. Holmes - yes

Excellent win for the Birds. Regardless of the sport, Highlands can always be counted on to scrap to the very end. :thumb:

Thanks again for broadcasting the games. They are always entertaining. My schedule does not permit attending in person. I put myself in the "information bubble", pull the broadcast out of the archive and listen in the evening while scrolling through the Reds game on tivo. :thumb: to life's simple pleasures. Beat Holy Cross (and Highlands).

Very sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I didn't know Doug but went to college with another stud player on the '76 Lloyd team, David Bubb. Great player and a great guy. Lloyd had excellent teams in the mid 70's. I remember Lloyd knocking Cov. Cath. out of the playoffs in '75 in comeback fashion as well. An A+ run for the Juggs. Thoughts and prayers for Doug's family and friends.

Very sad news. It must be a terrible loss for his family, friends and for the BGP community. Thoughts and prayers to all who were touched by him.

And all this time I thought Cov. Cath. was a swimming school.

Wonder if Augusta's starting pitcher gave up more 1st inning home runs than Homer Bailey last night? I'm going to go with - no.

Aaron Noll from Covington Catholic - Vanderbilt. (factoid:Vandy plays Harvard on Thursday. Aaron Noll's brother Andrew is in medical school at Harvard.)

JaKeith Pitts from Boone County. 5' 7'' guard in constant motion. He resembles an electron tracking around the nucleus of an atom. Not a superstar, not going to make any all-tournament teams. Just a lunch pail contributor who gets the loose ball and stray rebound, makes the big pass and hits the key shot. He is fun to watch.
