Greenon, KR girls face tough tournament foes

By Michael Cooper | Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 08:00 AM

When you head to some of the top holiday tournaments in the country, you know you’ll be seeing some stiff competition.

For the Kenton Ridge and Greenon High School girls squads, they’ll see just how good they are today, Tuesday, Dec. 29.

The Cougars face H.W. Byers, Miss., the two-time defending Class 2A state champions. They’re led by Amanda Jones, a Jackson State recruit. They’ll play Byers in the Braggin’ Rights Classic at Columbus Harvest Prep at 11 a.m. today.

The Greenon girls will get another tough test today in the form of Dr. Phillips High School, Fla. The Panthers are unbeaten and are the top-ranked team in Central Florida. They start five freshmen. They’ll play in The Rock Holiday Classic in Windermere, Fla. at Noon today. The Knights are assured at least a fourth-place finish after beating Memphis Booker T. Washington yesterday.

On Tap for Tuesday, Dec. 29

Now that the Christmas holiday has passed, it’s time to get back on the basketball court.

There are several huge boys and girls games on today’s schedule.

Graham at Tippecanoe: The Falcons have won 40 straight regular season games. They once stopped Tipp’s 49-game streak. The Red Devils will look for revenge tonight.

Urbana at Shawnee: Last year, the Hillclimbers knocked off the Braves and kept them from a share of the CBC Kenton Trail title. The Braves, coming off a big win over Tippecanoe, will want redemption.
