McGill lands girls hoops coaching position at Maplewood
Saturday, August 6, 2011 | 6:10 amLemore McGill expected to return to the bench at Hillsboro when he stepped aside in 2008 because of health issues.
Three years later, McGill is back in familiar surroundings — but not at Hillsboro.
Earlier this week, the 60-year-old McGill was named to succeed Mark Hayes at Maplewood, filling a position that had been vacant since late February.
“Coach McGill is a guy who’s highly respected in the community,” first-year Maplewood Principal Ron Woodard said. “He’s very familiar with this community. He’s a guy who really cares about kids and pushes kids to the next level, and that’s what we’re looking for.”
It’ll be McGill’s second time at Maplewood, having previously coached there from 1997-2003. After leaving the Lady Panthers, he went to Hillsboro for a second stint and virtually constructed the team that won the 2009 Class AAA championship.
“I had known I’d had kidney problems for two or three years before I stepped down,” he said. “I knew I was going to have to go on dialysis. I was trying to get through that last summer and come back and work, but it didn’t work out. If I can’t do it full speed, the way it should be done, I’m not going to do it.
“I took a leave of absence, under the impression I’d be coming back after the leave of absence, but that didn’t work out.”
Hillsboro, incidentally, is still looking for a coach after Katrina Carter — McGill’s replacement — was dismissed at the end of the school year. The Stratford girls position remains vacant as well.
McGill takes over a team that was 8-15 last season and 5-20 the year before. The Lady Panthers will be ineligible for the postseason following Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association sanctions for a fight that took place last year.
“We’re just going to start from scratch and build from the bottom up,” he said.

CPA’s Bradshaw set to sign with Belmont hoops
Tuesday, July 19, 2011 | 9:32 pmChrist Presbyterian Academy’s Craig Bradshaw announced this week he will sign a men’s basketball scholarship with Belmont during the November recruiting period.
A 6-2, 185-pound guard, Bradshaw averaged 20 points, five assists and five rebounds last year as the Lions advanced to the Region 5-AA semifinals and finished 29-5.
“Coach (Rick) Byrd and the staff have been to every one of my games — all of my travel ball games the last couple of years,” Bradshaw said. “They’ve been following me since my freshman year. They’ve been the most consistent in my recruiting.
“They only had one spot left (in this recruiting class), and there were two of us that the spot was for. So I had to make my decision pretty quickly.”
Bradshaw, who also had offers from Wofford, Middle Tennessee State and Western Kentucky, recently returned from a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that he sustained in June.
“They like guards that can handle the ball and come off screens and shoot it, equally well,” CPA Coach Drew Maddux said. “Craig’s explosive, athletic, physical and he has a high ‘motor’. He’ll be super-successful at the next level, and the opportunity to play for a guy like Rick Byrd is an opportunity you can’t speak highly enough about.”

Former Empire Hoops Standout Helps Pace Sonoma State
Thursday, November 19, 2009 | 1:58 amPosted By Press Democrat Staff Writer Michael Coit:
Finding her range at Sonoma State, former All-Empire forward Aly Henington is helping lead the Seawolves early in the college basketball season.
The Maria Carrillo and Santa Rosa Junior College graduate is second in scoring for Sonoma State with 11 points a game. Henington is making half her three point shot attempts and is a top free throw shooter.
In the Seawolves league win over Cal State East Bay on Sunday, Henington scored 8 points as Sonoma State evened its record at 4-4 on the season, 2-2 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.
A 5 foot 10 junior, Henington was second team All-Empire at Maria Carrillo for the 2006-07 season.
Henington played two seasons for Santa Rosa Junior College. Last year, she helped Santa Rosa to the California women’s junior college final four, the Bear Cubs first appearance since 1988. Henington was third on the team in rebounds and blocks and scored more than 6 points a game.
After a Christmas break, the Sonoma State women are back in action Dec. 30, traveling to play UC San Diego in a CCAA contest. The Seawolves are back home Jan. 2 against Humboldt State.

Nky hoops odds/ends …
Friday, November 6, 2009 | 3:08 amIf the hot start of Dixie Heights‘ boys’ basketball team has caught your attention, you’re not alone.
“Everyone I talk to says, ‘Man you guys are good, man you guys are undefeated,’” said Dixie coach Ken Chevalier.” We just need to tell our kids that we need to get better. On the surface, everything looks awesome. But we can get better offensively and we need to rebound better than we have been.”
Some stats on the Colonels, who are 12-0 and off to the best start in school history:
They lead the area in scoring at 72.7 points per game. They have five players who average at least 9.5 points a game — Brandon Hatton, Zeke Pike, Parker Stansberry, Matt Trammel and Jordan Hassel. They’re chasing the school record of 17 straight wins, set during the 2002-03 season.
If things go as they have been going, Dixie would enter the Toyota Classic at Scott County with a 15-0 record. It opens play against Louisville Western, and could play some of the state’s top teams, including George Rogers Clark and the host Cardinals. Five of Dixie’s final six games are against Holmes, Covington Catholic, Ryle, Holy Cross and Boone County.
“We’ll be tested down the stretch,” said Chevalier. “The schedule is kind of backloaded.”
Other notes:
- Lloyd, 8-5, already has surpassed its win total from last season. The Juggernauts went 6-22 in 2009-10. They started this season 6-2 and later knocked off Conner, the area’s No. 1 preseason team, 55-52 in the Lloyd Memorial Invitational.
- Quite a few former Northern Kentucky standouts have made a career playing overseas after college — Ross Neltner, Jack Jennings and Justin Doellman come to mind. Former Heritage guard Jackson Capel also is an overseas pro. He’s playing for the Cuxhaven Bascats in Germany.
- Holy Cross freshman guard Jalen Avery is second in Northern Kentucky, averaging 4.6 assists per game. One usually doesn’t see that type of floor presence and passing ability from a kid that young.
- The big fella from NewCath — no, not 6-foot- senior Jake Giesler, the real big fella from NewCath, Jack Gruenschlaeger — has seen the floor for the Thoroughbreds. The 6-11, 330-pounder, who is playing his first season of varsity basketball, is nine-of-11 from the field.
- Now, Giesler, on the other hand, has been a handful. During the Thoroughbreds’ current five-game winning streak he’s averaging He has led us to five straight wins and in that span is averaging 21.6 points, 15.2 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists.
