And then there were 8. All of the hard work that each team has put in to this point finally culminates in a win or go home three game tournament with the prize being a trip to Rupp Arena for a shot a state championship. The Match Ups Wednesday March 2nd 6:30 Conner v St Henry 8:00 Covington Catholic v Newport Friday March 4th 6:30 Newport Central Catholic v Cooper 8:00 Dixie Heights v Holy Cross Sunday March 6th 1:00 Semi Final #1 2:30 Semi Final #2 Monday March 7th 7:00 9th Region Finals Ranking the Field 1. Covington Catholic (26-6) The hype is real as the Blueboys look to three peat as 9th region champions and reach their 4th consecutive title game. The Colonels enter the region tournament having won 15 consecutive games after losing to Holy Cross in a 35th district seeding match up on the road. Scott Ruthsatz team ran through the 35th district with a 63-36 win over Holmes and a 62-41 win over Holy Cross as tournament MVP Cole Vonhandorf finished with 25 and 29 points on 21 of 29 shooting. I suppose those are decent numbers. If the junior leader plays like that during the region tournament, I don't see anyone in the field that can slow the Colonels down. While the Colonels have experience at BB&T Arena, having already won twice there during the regular season, the biggest question is how will the young Colonels respond if they face adversity or have to play from behind? Other Players to Watch: Sophomore CJ Fredrick (10.9 ppg) Senior Andy Flood (10.4 ppg) Sophomore AJ Mayer (9.1 ppg, 7 rpg) Sophomore Aiden Ruthsatz (7.4 ppg) 2. Newport Central Catholic (25-4) The 36th district tournament was supposed to be a warm up for the Breds but after beating Highlands by 42 points in the semi finals, Ron Dawn's team struggled to get past Newport, escaping with an 85-79 overtime victory over Rod Snapp's Newport Wildcats. Still, the team from the Hill enters the region tournament on a 7 game win streak and having won 13 of their previous 14. So why is this the year the Breds just might get over the hump? Two words. Ben. Weyer. The 6'7 Bellarmine commit and 9th region Player of the Year enters the tournament averaging 21.4 ppg and 11 rpg and earned 36th district tournament MVP after posting 26 points in the semi finals and 28 in the finals. Weyer is the most dominant player in the region and one of the most dominant players in the state. He will need help from his supporting cast, but if he plays like he did in the district tournament, the Breds could finally get to Rupp Arena. Other Player to Watch: Junior Luke Moeves (12.1 ppg) Sophomore Brennan Hall (11.6 ppg) 3. Holy Cross (22-8) After starting the season 16-4 and climbing all the way to #1 in Walter's weekly 9th region rankings, the Indians went just 6-4 over their final 10, including a 21 point loss in the 35th district championship. An injury to senior leader Tyler Bezold (16.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg) played a role in that finish to an extent, but Ryan Schrand's team simply hasn't been the same since. Bezold will have to play better than he did in the district championship ( 6 pts, 4 rbs) for Holy Cross to have a chance at making an appearance in the 9th region finals. Luckily for Bezold, he has plenty of help in fellow senior Leighton Schrand (15.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg) as well as Erich Jakubowski (9.8 ppg). That trio is one of the better trios in the region and one of the big reasons Holy Cross is back in the region tournament for the first time since 2004. With this being Holy Cross first appearance at BB&T Arena, it's hard not to wonder how they will perform on the bigger floor. Holy Cross was really good at home this season with wins over Covcath, Newcath,and Cooper, but they lost to two of those three on a neutral floor. 4. Cooper (24-4) Despite playing the final 11 games without what will likely be arguably the best player in the region next year in Sean McNeil (16.2 ppg, 7.5 rpg), Tim Sullivan's team rallied to go 9-2 over their final 11. The problem is one of those losses came in the district finals to Conner while playing without McNeil and Adam Kunkel (15.7 ppg) which puts them in a tough first round match up with Newcath. To make matters worse, the Jags also lost one of the best defenders in the region in junior Dante Hendrix to a hand/wrist injury during that 54-53 district final loss. Cooper will be without Hendrix and Kunkel in the region tournament. The Jags might be down, but they aren't out as Sean McNeil should be back for the region tournament opener and with the elevated play of sophomores Chris McNeil (8.3 ppg) and Brayden Runion (14 pts, 13 rbs v Boone County in 33rd district semi's) , as well as senior Trevor Rohlman to go along with how well Cooper defends, anything seems possible at this point. 5. Newport (17-14) It has been a long season for Rod Snapp as his team entered the season having arguably the most talented starting 5 in the region but lost 7 straight games and 8 of their final 10 after deciding to part ways with three of those talented starting 5. Without those three, the Wildcats seem to be rejuvenated as Kedan Davis and Ethan Snapp have elevated their play and sophomoe Mekell Burries and junior Anthony Harmon have stepped right in and replaced the production by the departed 3. Burries had 13 points in the district championship loss to Newcath, while Harmon had 18 pts, 13 rbs which has become the norm for him since he started playing regular minutes. At the end of the day, this team will go as far as Ethan Snapp and Kedan Davis carry them. Snapp had 29 pts, 9 rbs in the district finals while Davis had 18 pts, 12 rbs. Both will have to play like that in the opening round of the region tournament if the Wildcats are going to avenge last season's first round loss to the same Covington Catholic Colonels. 6. Conner Cougars (17-10) It was a grind but the Cougars enter the region tournament as 33rd district champions after defeating Ryle 56-51 and Cooper 54-53. Conner senior Michael Scott (16.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg) earned 33rd district MVP after posting 18 points in the championship and 29 in the semi finals. Jim Hicks team enters the tournament 3-7 against the field and looking for the program's first region tournament win since the Cougars advanceD to the region finals during the 2004-2005 season. Conner did upset region #1 Covington Catholic in the semi finals that year and that is who this year's Conner squad could potentially see again in this year's semi finals. Spencer Hemmerich (15.2 ppg , 4.5 rpg) with Michael Scott forms one of the better duos that you will see in this tournament but Travis Connelly (8.5 ppg), Alec Garnett (7.9 ppg), and Kyler Padgett (5.3 ppg) will all have to elevate their games to another level for the Cougars to make a run at the finals. 7. Dixie Heights (19-10) I don't know if there is a team in this region that has exceeded expectations more than Ken Chevalier's Dixie Colonels. With little to no expectations coming in to this season with an inexperienced squad, all the Colonels did was win 19 games and yet another district championship with a 77-62 win over St Henry. Leading the Red Colonels will be juniors Reed Bradfield (11.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg) and Hunter Meyer (11.1 ppg, 5.3 rpg) along with senior Ian Brolley (8.8 ppg). One of the big reasons for Dixie's success has been the help and production that sophomore AJ Plitzuweit has provided at 7.5 ppg. The Colonels don't always play or win pretty but they defend and rebound very well which can carry you a long way in a win or go home scenario. 8. St Henry (14-16) It's hard to believe a team with a losing record made it in to the region tournament, especially in the 9th region, but that record is a little mis leading as St Henry started the season 3-11 but finished 11-5 to get back to BB&T Arena. Adam Goetz (18.6 ppg) has been very good for the Crusaders this season having scored 25 or more points maybe more than any other player in the region, not named Ben Weyer. Paul Wallenhorst (11.7 ppg) and Stephen Maley (10.9 ppg) provide just enough production to keep teams from totally selling out on stopping Goetz, but at the end of the day it will be the 4th and 5th players on the floor with those three that will need to give solid production for St Henry to make any type of run in the tournament. As always, as long as Dave Faust is on the sidelines anything can happen. Region Tournament Predictions Conner v St Henry This is one of the more difficult games to predict when looking at the first round match ups. Conner picked up a 60-56 win over St Henry during the regular season but that game was all the way back on December 3rd. Looking at both team's top 3 players it is very even with St Henry probably having the best all around player in Adam Goetz. Still, Michael Scott has shown he can put up serious numbers this season and it could end up being a case of which team's star performs at a higher level as to who wins. Cooper was a big favorite over St Henry last year in the first round and the Cru pulled the upset. I think Adam Goetz has a big night in this one but Jim Hicks and Conner get the win. Conner over St Henry Covcath v Newport It's hard to think this will even be a game after the Colonels handled Newport by 31 points three weeks ago but with the distractions gone, I think the Wildcats can make this game. Covcath will no doubt use some sort of triangle and 2 or box and 1 defense to try to force the others to beat them but with Newport playing team ball that could actually benefit the Rod Snapp's team. Still, the Colonels are absolutely rolling right now and I don't see Newport slowing them down. Covcath over Newport by 10-15. Newcath v Cooper If Cooper were fully healthy, I don't know that this would even be a 1st round match up. Sean McNeil should be back for this game but Cooper is still without 2 of their top 3. With Cooper having all of their players in the regular season match up, Newcath still rolled to a 60-46 win on the hill. With Hendrix and Kunkel out in this one, I think we see a repeat outcome. Newcath over Cooper. Dixie Heights v Holy Cross Dixie wins their district and get the unfortunate task of facing the 35th district runner up, which has advanced to the region finals the past 3 years. Holy Cross won the regular season match up February 10th 67-56. My guess is Dixie gives another valiant effort but we see a similar outcome as Bezold, Schrand, and Jakubowski lead the Indians in to the region semi finals. Holy Cross over Dixie Region Semi Finals Covcath v Conner This was a 30 point blow out during the regular season and with the Colonels playing even better basketball now, I don't see the Cougars keeping Scott Ruthsatz' team from advancing to the region finals for a fourth consecutive year. Newcath v Holy Cross These two split during the regular season with Holy Cross winning the December match up 65-60 but Newcath winning the late January match up in the All A Finals by a score of 70-52. Tyler Bezold only played one quarter in that second game so it's tough to really say what happens in that game if he plays all four quarters. However, I think Newcath wins that one regardless. With round 3 coming on another neutral floor, I think the Breds get back to the region finals to set up a re match with the Colonels. Newcath over Holy Cross. 9th Region Finals Covcath v Newcath This has become maybe the best rivalry in NKY, despite Covcath owning the Breds and not losing to Newcath since a season sweep during Scott Ruthsatz first year in Park Hills. I could go on and on about this match up and that match up and refer back to Covcath's 58-43 win over Newcath on January 15th but the bottom line is, despite what either team's players or coaches say, neither team likes one another and it would be an absolute battle if they met with a trip to Rupp Arena on the line. Newcath has struggled to win big games over the years, while Covcath has done nothing but win and win big. I could make a prediction, but where is the fun in that? I'll leave it to the rest of BGP to predict who would win. Now for a little end of the season fun.... Walter's All 9th Region and Final Top 10 Players 1. Ben Weyer- Newcath (21 ppg, 11 rpg) Simply Put...dominant. Everyone in the gym knew he was the best player on the court and getting the ball and he still scored at will. One of the most versatile big men to come through the region in a while. 2. Markel McClendon- Holmes (19.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg) Despite seeing virtually every defensive game plan a coach can think of to stop him and force others to beat them. McClendon still produced at a high level. This might not be a popular pick but there might not be a tougher guard to defend in the region one on one. Can hit the outside shot or blow by a defender. 3. Sean McNeil- Cooper (16 ppg, 7.5 rpg) Was injured the final 11 games of the season, but there's not a better all around player in the region. Can Defend and play all 5 positions and is likely my pick for #2 in the region if not for the injury. 4. Cole VonHandorf- Covcath (16.2 ppg, 3.8 rpg) Some might question why CVH is at #4 but I think even he would agree that he didn't play up to his expectations this season and his ppg and fg% reflected that. Still the kid is a winner and if he plays like he did in the district tournament all season, he is probably your player of the year. One of the best defensive guards in the region. 5. Adam Goetz- St Henry (18.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg) Goetz kind of got over shadowed by the fact that St Henry struggled for the majority of the season. Still, at 48% from the field and 38% from outside, the senior point guard was very efficient and one of the best at also getting his teammates involved. 6. Ethan Snapp- Newport (17.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg) Snapp's numbers could have been better if not dealing with some of the off the court and locker room issues that went on throughout Newport's season. It should come as no surprise to anyone that when Newport started making "changes" to their personnel, we finally started seeing the player that many of us expected to see. 7. Tyler Bezold- Holy Cross (16.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg) Bezold doesn't look like the type of player that is going to be effective at first glance but the kid flat out gets it done at both ends. Can score from anywhere on the floor with unlimited range and defensively makes up for a lack of athleticism with positioning and moving his feet in space to beat the offensive player to spots on the floor. 8. Michael Scott- Conner (16.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg) Much like McNeil at Cooper, Scott is another player that can play and defend all 5 positions. Struggled with his shot from outside but tough going to the rim and scores with efficiency. 9. Adam Kunkel- Cooper (15.7 ppg, 4 rpg) Kunkel really blossomed in to a future star during his sophomore campaign. With McNeil out due to injury he showed that he is a capable rebounder by posting a double double and his offensive game speaks for itself. Smooth. Finished the year 50 percent from outside and 51.5 percent from the floor. 10. CJ Fredrick- Covcath (10.9 ppg, 2.9 rpg) 44 percent from outside, 53 percent from the field. Not too many sophomores play the minutes that Fredrick did at Covcath this year and make the type of impact that he did. The most underrated part of his game is his defense and much like Kunkel, he blossomed in to a future star with the way he has played this year. Honorable Mention: Andy Flood- Covcath AJ Mayer- Covcath Leighton Schrand- Holy Cross Spencer Hemmerich- Conner Reed Bradfield- Dixie Heights Hunter Meyer- Dixie Heights Paul Wallenhorst- St Henry Kedan Davis- Newport Now that all that is out of the way, I guess the only thing to do is get ready for what should be an exciting 9th region tournament at NKU's BB&T Arena. Let the fun begin.

Of the 8 teams that took part in the 2015 10th Region Tournament, 7 of them return for a chance at the title in 2016. The one newcomer just so happens to be this year's host, as Montgomery County takes its third turn as the site for the 10th's annual March showdown. Two-time defending champion Campbell County is back, joining the Indians as one of the favorites. The two schools have won the last 3 tournaments. 40th District champion Paris is another favorite, as the Greyhounds have won a Region-leading 23 games thus far. Augusta is arguably the hottest team in the 10th, winners of 9 straight contests. Last year's runner-up Scott is back again and looks to win one more game than it did last year. Pendleton County is perhaps playing its best ball of the season right now, while Mason County will be hungry to rectify the disappointing ending to the 39th District Tournament. Harrison County enters as the field's greatest underdog, but the Thorobreds provided plenty of shock value last season. The Pairings Wednesday, March 2nd (6:00 pm) - Campbell County vs. Mason County Wednesday, March 2nd (7:45 pm) - Paris vs. Harrison County Thursday, March 3rd (6:00 pm) - Pendleton County vs. Montgomery County Thursday, March 3rd (7:45 pm)​ - Augusta vs. Scott Monday, March 7th (6:00 pm) - Semi-Final #1 Monday, March 7th (7:45 pm) - Semi-Final #2 Tuesday, March 8th (7:00 pm)​ - Championship Game The Teams Campbell County Camels Head Coach: Aric Russell Record: 19-12 (37th District Champions) Key Players: Matt Wilson - 6'9" Sr. (19.9 ppg & 11.9 rpg), Cole Hegyi - 6'3" Jr. (12.2 ppg), Trent McGovney - 5'11" Sr. (8.2 ppg) The Camels are the 2-time defending 10th Region Champions and for a third straight year, Aric Russell's club will play the tournament's first game. The team leader is undoubtedly senior big man Matt Wilson, an Army signee, who has averaged a double-double for three consecutive seasons. Fellow senior Trent McGovney has been running the point for 3 seasons now, and brings plenty of experience and leadership to the table, while junior swingman Cole Hegyi is the team's #2 scorer. Lanky junior forward Garren Bertsch leads Campbell in 3-pointers made (57) and had an outstanding District Tournament. The Camels have won 11 of their last 12 games and seem primed to make another run at the Regional crown. Mason County Royals Head Coach: Buddy Biggs Record: 20-10 (39th District Runner-Up) Key Players: Antwavon "Pig" Williams - 6'0 Sr. (19.6 ppg), Conner Sweeney 6'6" Sr. (14.7 ppg & 6.8 rpg), Isiah Garrison 6'0 Soph. (12.9 ppg & 47.8% FG's) First-year Royals coach Buddy Biggs brings his squad into the 10th Region Tournament with somewhat of a limp. Mason County lost 3 of its last 5 regular season games, including a heartbreaking loss to Augusta in the 39th District finals. Pig Williams is a sensational point guard who leads the team in scoring and is one of the 10th's top overall defensive performers. Sophomore Isiah Garrison joins Williams to form an excellent back court. The duo combined to score 40 of the team's 61 points in the District championship. Conner Sweeney and Darren Williams, a pair of 6'6" seniors, give the Royals some versatility and size in the front court. It will be interesting to see how Mason responds to the District loss, but if this team is clicking, watch out. Paris Greyhounds Head Coach: Terence Brooks Record: 23-5 (40th District Champions) Key Players: Koebe Garrard - 6'3" Sr. (16.8 ppg & 7.7 rpg), Jekobi Wells - 6'3" Jr. (12.3 ppg & 53.2% FG's), James Clark - 5'10" Sr. (8.9 ppg) The Greyhounds claimed their 2nd straight 40th District crown by beating Montgomery County for an impressive third time this year, and now the team that won the most regular season games will play the team in the field that won the fewest games: Harrison County. Terence Brooks' team is likely the deepest in the entire Region, but senior Koebe Garrard is the roster's unquestioned leader. Garrard is the #1 scorer and #2 rebounder for the Hounds, while junior wing Jekobi Wells is the #2 scorer and #1 rebounder. Sophomore guard Eric Johnson has had a strong season at 9.4 ppg, while the back court tandem of James Clark (5'10" Sr.) and Marcus Ashford (5'7" Soph.) will frustrate opposing guards. Paris came up just shy in its goal of winning the 10th Region Class "A", but hopes to reach the mountaintop this time around. Harrison County Thorobreds Head Coach: Larry Kendall Record: 12-17 (38th District Runner-Up) Key Players: Zack Pulliam - 6'4" Sr. (12.5 ppg), Jovon Williams - 6'2" Sr. (10.8 ppg), Spencer Free - 6'2" Fr. (7.8 ppg & 78.1% FT's) Larry Kendall's Thorobreds enter the Regional Tournament in a bit of a slump, owning a 2-7 record since the start of February. The Breds gave Pendleton County a battle, but eventually finished runner-up in the 38th for a second straight season. Long, agile forward Zack Pulliam is the team's scoring leader, while Jovon Williams is the team's #2 scorer. Williams is also one of the 10th's most elite defenders. The Breds have an experienced senior running the point in Brock Jenkins, but the youth movement is strong as well with freshman wing Spencer Free. The Thorobreds pulled a stunner in last year's opening round by defeating favorite Mason County, but they will have their work cut out for them in duplicating that this year. Pendleton County Wildcats Head Coach: Keaton Belcher Record: 16-16 (38th District Champions) Key Players: Dontaie Allen - 6'5" Fr. (22.4 ppg & 9.4 rpg), Hunter Wood - 5'9" Sr. (7.6 ppg), Mason Dennie - 6'0 Jr. (8.7 ppg & 47.4% FG's) Belcher's Bombers cut down the 38th District nets for a second straight season, but even before the post-season success, the Wildcats were playing as well as most 10th Region squads. Of their final 4 regular season wins, the Cats won at Campbell County, at Paris, and at Mason County. While Belcher's bunch has some experienced talent, it is led by fantastic freshman wing Dontaie Allen, who is one of the 10th's top individual players. Savvy point guard Hunter Wood is the senior catalyst running the point, and junior wing Mason Dennie has come on strong in the second half of the season. Pendleton isn't the perimeter power it was last year, but the club isn't far off either. When the Cats are hitting from beyond the arc, they're capable of beating anyone. Montgomery County Indians Head Coach: Matt Daniel Record: 20-11 (40th District Runner-Up) Key Players: Caswell Fuller - 5'10" Sr. (13 ppg & 50.3% FG's), Art Walker - 6'3" Sr. (14.5 ppg & 41.8% 3pt. FG's), Jerryd Jones - 6'4" Jr. (14 ppg & 59.7% FG's) The host Indians put their disappointing 2015 post-season behind them and finished runner-up in the 40th District Tournament. Matt Daniel's squad is the most lethal from beyond the arc, draining 227 treys on the year. Senior Caswell Fuller leads a balanced attack from the point guard position as an able scorer and superior distributor. His senior back court mate Art Walker is one of the deadliest perimeter shooters in the 10th and versatile forward Jerryd Jones is an efficient scorer at nearly 60% field goal shooting. Freshman forward Brennan Canada has been impressive despite his youth, while senior Cody Parsley can both score and defend well. 6'7" senior center Shelby Combs rounds out Daniel's usual 6-man rotation at 7.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg. With above average talent and playing at home, Montgomery is among the favorites to reach Rupp. Augusta Panthers Head Coach: Brian Kirk Record: 22-6 (39th District Champions) Key Players: Connor Maddox - 5'11" Sr. (22.1 ppg), Camryn Snapp - 6'3" Sr. (11.8), Owens Crawford - 6'1" Sr. (10.7 ppg) In his first year as the head coach of his alma mater, Brian Kirk continued the post-season magic of his predecessor. The Panthers scored an improbable come-from-behind victory over Mason County to claim their 3rd 39th District crown in 4 years. The senior trio of Connor Maddox, Camryn Snapp, and Owens Crawford have been through the battles, cut down the nets, and they are looking forward to adding the big title to their large collection of hardware. Junior Jared Shoemaker is a crafty left-hander who has enjoyed a fine season and senior transfer Tanner Pugh hit the shot of his life to win the 39th. What Augusta lacks in depth it makes up for with grit and a never-say-die attitude, and Kirk's kids hope to turn their current 9-game winning streak into 12 by tourney's end. Scott Eagles Head Coach: Brad Carr Record: 13-16 (37th District Runner-Up) Key Players: Jake Ohmer - 6'0 Jr. (26.3 ppg & 85.5% FT's), Vinnie Duimlao - 6'0 Jr. (9 ppg), Andrew Trame - 6'1" Sr. (7.6 ppg) In the 11 years that Scott has participated in the 10th Region, the program has qualified for the 10th Region Tournament in every year but one (2014). The Eagles have never cut down the nets, but Brad Carr has led his group to runner-up finishes in 2 of the last 3 tournaments. Jake Ohmer is the field's top overall scorer, and does a lot of his damage at the free throw line, where he scores about 30% of his points. Vinnie Duimlao plays bigger than his size, and is second on the team in scoring. Senior Andrew Trame wears a lot of hats for the Eagles and 6'4" senior forward C.J. Seay played well enough to earn All-Tournament honors in the 37th District Tournament. Scott is very much a guard-driven club that plays with tremendous tenacity. And it seems that regardless of his personnel, Carr always has his squad ready for post-season success. The Predictions Papa's peerless predictions: Campbell County - Mason County. Do the Royals have any answers for the 10th's POY Matt Wilson? Royals are reeling at the wrong time, losing 3 of their last 5, with the only wins in that stretch coming after a sluggish first half against a woeful Fleming County squad and a close one over a feisty Polar Bears team missing a starter. I'd like to see a different outcome, but the 2-time regional champion Camels prevail. 70-58, purple jerseys. Paris - Harrison County. Paris has been hitting on all cylinders - excepting the senior night hiccup against Pendleton County - since Garrard's return. Hounds won this matchup in Cynthiana a week ago and I expect more of the same. 65-52, Greyhounds. Pendleton County - Montgomery County. Wildcats need a typical Dontaie Allen game and major contributions from the likes of Wood, Dennie and Browning to hang with the Indians - the one district loser than nobody wanted to draw in the first round. In the end, too much Art Walker, Jerryd Jones, Caswell Fuller and company. Tribe 72, Cats 65. Scott - Augusta. The most intriguing matchup in the opening round. Augusta handled the Eagles in the middle of the season, and seem to be a team of destiny. Jake Ohmer goes off for 35+, but I'll take the Panthers in a nail-biter; 70-69. Campbell County - Paris. This would be the first meeting of the season for the Camels and the Hounds. Paris will have the crowd behind them in what could be a game talked about in 10th Region circles for a month of Sundays. Paris 80, Campbell County 77 in double overtime. Montgomery County - Augusta. It's been a wild ride for the little town on the river, but the Indians use their size advantage to pound the rock inside to wear down the Panthers. 72 - 66, Indians. Paris - Montgomery County. Ol' papa picked the Indians to cut down the nets in the contest, so there's no backing down now. Fourth time's a charm. Tribe 60, Hounds 56 in another classic.
