Stop me if you've heard this before: "Congratulations to Colerain girls basketball player SR Ashley Wanninger for winning..." It really has become a broken record with this young lady and her accomplishments.
This is a big one, however. This week, Ashley was named the Cincinnati Enquirer's Girls Basketball Player of the Year - Division I. SEE ARTICLE HERE. There is no shortage talented girls basketball players in the city and for Ashley to be named the best is quite an honor. And one that she has definitely earned.
Congrats to Ashley on this impressive achievement!
We Are...Colerain!
PS: I wonder how many of our readers even know where the phrase "broken record" came from??

Coach Mack Resigns
Chris Himonidis
WeAreColerain.com Staff
Per Mike Dyer on the Cincinnati.com preps blog, Colerain Head girls basketball coach Christi Mack has resigned her position at Colerain, sighting the desire to spend more time with her family.
http://cincinnati.com/blogs/preps/2010/03/04/colerains-mack-steps-down/
This is a sad day for the Colerain family as they lose a good coach who was good for the program and great for the girls. However, it's a happy day for the Mack family as the matriach returns home.
WeAreColerain.com would like to salute Christi Mack for all her hard work and dedication to Colerain over the past year and wish her the very best! She was always willing to offer up a quote or two and was never shy in promoting her players and her program.

Lady Cards Throw First Quarter Shutout In Rout of Fairfield 58-19
Al Gabriel
WeAreColerain.com
Colerain girls basketball coach Christi Mack says her team has certain objectives they want to hit in each basketball game: How many points to hold an opponent under. How many more rebounds than the opposition. Field goal percentage, etc...
When asked if one of the team goals was to hold a GMC opponent to one first half point the Cardinal coach grimmaced and sheepishly said "I didn't expect that to happen". But that is exactly what happend on Tuesday night at The Cage as Colerain shutout the Indians 14-0 in the first quarter en route to a 28-1 halftime lead and 58-19 victory. "When we got up big I told our kids to not even look at the scoreboard and just to continue playing hard and remember to 'do what we do'" added coach Mack.
Colerain out rebounded the Indians 42-27 and forced 11 first quarter turnovers in building its lead. Sophomore Kristen Thompson had six of her game high 15 boards in the first period. "Kristen is a good hearted kid. Kinda happy go lucky. She's third in the GMC in rebounds (7.9 per game) but I think she could be number 1. She's a decievingly good athlete and if we can get her to be more assertive she will."
Alexis Fitzpatrick was one of three Cardinals in double digit scoring with 11 points (Ashley Wanninger 17 pts, Sheaira Jones 11 pts) and also added a game high 7 assists and 4 steals. "Alexis takes such good care of the ball but she really sets the tone for us defensively. She's got such quick hands." It was off back to back steals by Fitzpatrick early in the game that lead to easy layups for herself and Sheaira jones.
Colerain moves to 10-3 on the season and now stands tied for first place in the GMC with a 6-2 conference mark.
Up next for Colerain is a visit this Saturday afternoon to Lakota East!
Come out to Liberty Township and support your lady Cardinals!

Colerain Girls Hold Off Pesky Harrison Squad 55-45
Al Gabriel
WeAreColerain.com
Behind the gritty play of sophomore point guard Abby Feuchter and the hot shooting of senior Ashley Wanninger the Colerain girls basketball team was able to withstand a furious third quarter surge by Harrison on Wednesday night and prevail 55-45.
Trailing 26-14 at the break the Wildcats used a stingy full court press and hot three point shooting from Amy Brooks (14pts) to close the gap to 41-35 at the end of the third quarter. Ashley Wanninger who scored 21 points (4 of 8 from behind the arc) kept the Colerain cushion from shrinking even smaller by hitting 5 of 6 free throws in the final two minutes of the period.
The star on this night, however, was Feuchter who scored 12 points and contributed 6 assists and hit 6 of 8 free throws down the stretch to seal the victory for Colerain. "I'm happy for Abby. She's a humble kid and she's worked hard to get to this point" said coach Christi Mack.
Up next for the Lady Cardinals is a return to GMC play with a home game next Tuesday night versus Fairfield. Coach Mack added, "Fairfield has a great freshman. They have some tough losses but we never count anybody out in the GMC. This league is too tough to do that. In fact, I've got some film on them that I'm going home right now to watch!"

Colerain Basketball RED HOT!!!!
Lady Cards down No. 1 Oak Hills; boys 2nd in GMC
(article by Tony Meale, Community Press)
Some very special things are happening with the basketball programs at Colerain. Coaches Mack (girls) and Higgins (boys) have the programs at a combined 15-3 and BOTH in second place in the GMC. We, as Colerain fans and alumni, need to take notice!
For the girls, this started back during the Coach Nikki Drew days when the girls turned the corner and started really competiting at a high level. However, Coach Mack has continued and improved upon that base. After beating previously GMC-unbeaten and #1 team in the city Oak Hills, the Girls have a home game tomorrow, Saturday Jan. 9 @ 2:30 against city-power Lakota West, who is 7-2 overall, 4-2 in conference. If you can be there to watch some great basketball and support our girls, be there! You won't be disappointed.
As for the boys, what can you say other than WOW!!! In 2006, the boys program won 2 basketball games THE ENTIRE SEASON while going winless in the GMC (0-14). From '05-'09, the most wins this program ever had in a single season was 11 ('05). Today, they currently sit tied for SECOND PLACE IN THE GMC at 7-1 overall, 3-1 in conference. Coach Higgins, in only his second season, has got our program on the right track. Which, if you listen to WeAreColerain.com's exclusive pre-season interview with Coach Higgins (CLICK HERE), you will hear the optimism and his belief that Colerain was going to surprise some folks. Well they certainly have! Tonight, the boys take on Middletown (5-3, 3-1) AT HOME at 7:30PM in "The Cage" at Colerain High School.
If you've been snowed in for two days and are looking for something to get your blood pumping again, get up to the High School tonight and/or tomorrow and watch these teams defend their home court and represent our school and community with the utmost effort and pride! You will NOT be disappointed you made the trip!
Basketball is in full swing and the Cardinals of Colerain should keep all fans, alumni, and the community engaged well into the beginning of Spring!
Continued well wishes to both Coaches Mack and Higgins and all the assistant coaches and parent volunteers for the rest of the season!

Colerain Girls Holds Off McAuley 40-38
Al Gabriel
WeAreColerain.com
In a game that Colerain head basketball coach Christi Mack knew would be a 'battle', the lady Cardinals held off the McAuley Mohawks 40-38 at Colerain last night. " I knew this would be a battle. The kids are from the same neighborhoods and they all know each other. Not taking a single thing away from McAuley but this was our worst game of the year. We shot just 25% from the field and just 12 of 22 from the free throw line and we got outrebounded. We were fortunate to find a way to win tonight and I am proud of our kids."
Colerain held a 30-27 lead entering the fourth quarter but the Mohawks quickly erased the deficit and the game was tied at 38 with 2:07 remaining in the game when a scare was put in to the Colerain faithful. Ashley Wanninger, who led all scorers with 17 points went down hard on the floor in front of the scorers table at mid-court while battling for a loose ball. Wanninger lay on the floor for a few minutes while the trainers attended to her but was able to walk to the Colerain bench under her own power with what appeared to be a leg cramp.
Wanninger would return to hit the front end of a 1 and 1 to give Colerain a 39-38 lead and Alexis Fitzpatrick would hit 1 of 2 free throws after a McAuley miss to account for the final score and she would come up with a tough rebound off of McAuley's last attempt and dribble out the clock to send Colerain to its sixth victory of the season. Sheaira Jones kicked 6 big points, all in the second half, that stemmed the tide of any Mohawk momentum.
