Korto and his Kalida team defeated a pretty good Pettisville team last night....at least Korto said that in the Lima News.......I believe they have Edgerton next......I just don't understand where all the Kalida faithful went.....this Kalida team is expected to go far in the tournament, but very little is being posted on the Rocketcorner......it's as if no one is excited....what's going on here!!!!!

[Dman]

The vast majority of Kalida posters have been pro-CYO and anti-King this year flounder. I'm guessing we miss bandido...

[Double Dawg]

Maybe they stopped posting on RC for Lent.

Key word flounder "expected". They have been "expecting" them to go far with this group ever since they were in junior high. Perhaps they are finally taking a backseat on this one and just letting this all play out.

All of the above seems in line, but they are winning and advancing down the tournament trail.......you really can't ask for much more.....just a little surprised that there hasn't been more chatter......all are waiting patiently to see if they can make that next step!!!!!

And Dman.....

I think you are correct, but CYO is not in the same league as OHSAA......I wonder how big their crowds are over there in CYO ball!!!

It also doesn't help that most of the topics on Kalida basketball in last couple years have turned into coach bashing or into away of showing a negative light on the community.

But is it all that bad no need to give coaches that read the Rocket Corner more information. The Edgerton coach has coached against Coach Korotokrax before when he coached at Tinora.

I'm a supporter of Coach K. I have to admit I thought they would handle Pettisville pretty easily and was shocked when they didn't. I think some folks expected a 20-0 regular season. I didn't expect 20-0, especially with the out-of-conference schedule Kalida plays. I think they'll beat Edgerton, but it's going to be very close,

[1rampart]

I'm thinking based on the pre-season expectations of this team......"very cautious optimism" is the operative phrase.
They are a terrific bunch of guys no matter what happens.

[GoMaroon]

oh alright, per your request....thank goodness our guards have stepped up and big time. If the big guys don't get moving, we're going to be over and out. And just to humor you....the CYO boys team is going to state (and yes, that is big news in Kalida. We love all our seniors - and the junior too). Good Luck to ALL of our basketball players!!! The "Grand Canyon" will be smeared with maroon & gold on Friday - on both sides of the court.

[flounder]

Maroon.......

How does Kalida stack up against Edgerton......and if Kalida wins, will the Kalida community start getting a bit excited!!!!!!

1rampart---you are very wise, well beyond your years !
" very cautious optimism " is the operative phrase !
Couldn't have said it better myself ! The King has his team cruising along quietly with ONLY 18 WINS !
The team is doing well. Several players averaging around double figures. Some players picking up the slack when others are having a down day. That is what a TEAM effort is all about. It's now time to get the team to start peaking ! The King has the stage set and the team is ready to roll.
Next game will show if the timing is on the mark. It's time to jell ( to take shape and achieve ) !

Once again, 1rampart---They are a terrific bunch of guys no matter what happens !

WOW ! What a great post !!!

Kalida will give Edgerton a great game, but the CYO team in Kalida may get invited to the CYO national Champ game in Columbus. You cannot win all your games every year, only in CYO. Good luck Coach K. and the rest of the Kalida fans.

While we're on the topic of Kalida, is there any Wildcat fan that could hook me up with a copy of the 1981 regional final against Marion Local? I'll pay any reasonable price...

Thanks.

Coach K's number is in the phone book. That would be a good place to start.

Sorry but going to state in CYO just doesn't quite impress me so much.

It is goin to be even quieter in Kalida after the Polecats from Edgertun gets done with them. No firetrucks this year.

Don't worry they will still toilet paper the town even if they lose.

What a classless bunch they are, I hope they only use single ply toilet paper then if they do it after a loss!!

Congrats Kalida on a fine season! Wish they could of went further, but they should be proud of their team and accomplishments.

I'm going with the upset, taking the "King" and the "Dream Team" in this one.

47-38

[flounder]

It's going to be real quiet now.......can't believe it.....the PCL took a big hit tonight!!!!!
