Listen to the WeAreColerain.com staff on the radio

This past Sunday the WeAreColerain.com staff was invited to be featured on the weekly internet radio show that is produced by Old Goat Radio, the official voice of Louisville Dupont Manual high school football. We made the trip to Louisville, visited Manual's football stadium and facility and then recorded the radio show.

Manual's football history goes back to 1893 and it was incredible to see all the pictures and memorabilia from all the past teams at Manual, including National Championship teams and State Championship teams.

I would like to personally thank the Old Goat radio team of Buzz Frank, Dave Wright and John Wright for inviting us down to do the show, and showing us great hospitality during the visit. It was a good time for all involved.

Colerain Girls Thump Hamilton

Colerain High School-

It would have been understandable if the Cardinals were ripe for a let down in their game against Hamilton on Wednesday night. Afterall the Cardinals were coming off a tough loss to number 2 ranked Lakota West on Saturday and the Big Blue are in the midst of a down year and came into the game with a 1-7 record. Easy to overlook this game and continue to dwell on the West game? No chance. The Lady Cardinals jumped out to a 13-5 first quarter lead and never looked back as they downed the Big Blue 65-38.
Colerain (9-2, 4-2 GMC) showed incredible patience and unselfishness on the offensive end and finished the game with 19 assists as a team with only 6 turnovers. "We had two great days of practice this week and the girls were really focused on the game plan" said Colerain coach, Christi Mack. "I was really impressed with our ability to distribute the ball and rebound at both ends of the court" Indeed, rebounding was a big part of the Cardinals dominance as Colerain held a +12 advantage (45-33) in that department. Depth also played into the favor of Colerain who had 8 players log 10 minutes or more and had five players score 8 or more points. "I was fortunate enough to get everyone in tonight and we had some great play off the bench from Junior Tevin Andrews, Freshman Abby Feuchter and Freshman Kristen Thompson. Senior Kelly Bolden also pitched in with a season and career high 7 rebounds."

Colerain is currently ranked fourth in the City and sports a roster of talent that has three freshman playing on Varsity and another four freshman playing on the JV. With another young team feeling out the growing pains of life in the GMC in Lakota East coming up this weekend, Coach Mack was already back at work concentrating on her team's next opponent. "Next road game will be a tough one. Lakota East plays a lot of young kids who really play hard. If we continue to "Do What We Do" best, then I think things will fall into place. We can only worry about the things we can control which is our effort on defense, valuing each possession and rebounding the basketball."

If you haven't seen this team play, do yourself a favor and go check them out. They are a good, well coached basketball team that has talent to compete deep into March. They could use the support!

Go Cards!

Colerain tops Hamilton

The Colerain Boys basketball team fell behind 19-8 at the end of the first quarter but relied on a stingy defense and patient offense to come from behind to up-end the Hamilton Big Blue 55-47 Tuesday night.

Earlier in the game Colerain seemed troubled by Hamilton’s 2-3 Zone defense but started finding seams during a second quarter run that saw the Cardinals draw the game even at the half. “The key for us was that we began to move the ball quicker and that caused the zone to spread out…our guys began to see the openings in the zone and we looked to get the ball inside” said coach, Kevin Higgins. With the guards looking inside (12 combined assists from Jovante Harrison, Ryan Foster and Ken Kunkel) Junior Forward Ben Vonderharr took advantage of his teammates ball movement to score a game high 19 points. Vonderharr also added 12 rebounds and 5 blocked shots in 28 minutes of actions. “Ben played his best game last night. He has the potential to be a very good post player and can really affect a game on both ends of the floor…I think you will see more games like that in the future” Higgins added.

In spite of Vonderharr’s solid game, the score was still tied entering the 4th quarter. Colerain opened the period on a 13-3 run that put them comfortably ahead and the Cardinals sealed the deal from the free throw line. The Big Blue were paced Jake Turner and Drew Townsend (12 and 13 points respectively) on a combined 6 of 13 from the 3 point line.

Colerain improves to 6-2 (2-2 GMC) and plays at Lakota East on Friday night.
Hamilton falls to 2-5 (2-2 GMC).
