Excellence in

excerpt from the KHSAA monthly newsletter read in part, "These
schools promoted good sportsmanship and distinguished themselves
during the 2007-08 school year. Not one member of their teams or
coaching staff was ejected from any contest during the entire
school year. In a time in our society where there appears to be
an erosion in the values of teamwork, fair play, citizenship and
sportsmanship, these schools are to be commended for encouraging
their school community to walk the walk in this area." |

Birthday Wish Granted: Krebs To Be Walk-On For Cats October 11, 2006 |
By Jerry TiptonHERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITERAfter its winter of discontent in 2005-06, Kentucky basketball needed a feel-good wave to ride into this coming season. Maybe it came yesterday, three days before Big Blue Madness tips off a new season. Mark Krebs, a guard from Newport Central Catholic, learned yesterday that he had made the UK team as a walk-on. He got the news on his birthday, which was celebrated with a family dinner last night. "Oh, it's great," Krebs said. "It's a dream." Krebs will not participate in Madness. He will sit out this season as a transfer from Thomas More College. Barring a surprise, he will be on the team beginning in 2007-08 as a sophomore shooting guard. Krebs' persistence made this dream come true. After graduating from high school in 2005, he attended Thomas More because the Division III school was close to home. He wanted to be nearby because his mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. By the end of the fall semester, he realized he could "play somewhere." Kentucky, the school of his boyhood dreams, was the somewhere he wanted to play. He wrote a letter to UK Coach Tubby Smith in February. In his reply, Smith noted how Krebs was a promising prospect. That was an understatement, according to Newport Central Catholic Athletic Director Rob Detzel. "He's the nicest kid you could have," said Detzel, who coached the basketball team when Krebs played." Besides averaging 19 points as a senior, Krebs was a "fantastic shooter," said Detzel, who added that the player made 51 percent of his three-point attempts as a junior. "He's a 4.0 student," Detzel said. (Actually, Krebs said his grade-point average was 3.9). "And he doesn't drink." After not hearing again from Smith for about two months, Krebs said, "I took the initiative." He worked with personal trainer and put 25 pounds on his skinny 6-foot-5 frame over the summer. When he reported to UK for student orientation in August, Krebs went to the basketball office with letters of recommendation. Smith took a wait-and-see attitude. Then Krebs played well enough in pick-up games and worked out well enough to be invited to walk on. Asked if this made for a wonderful birthday present, Krebs
blurted out, "Oh, my god, yes." |

BANNER YEAR FOR THE 'BREDS12/28/05 |
At the Newport Central Catholic football awards banquet on Wednesday,
senior quarterback Sam Diehl
received a list of the 14 team records he set during his three-year
varsity career. Diehl set most of those records this season, but he
down-played his personal achievements. "The only thing that
matters is we won state," he said. Diehl had a lot to do with
NewCath winning its first Class A state championship this season. In
addition to passing for 2,502 yards and 37 touchdowns, he rushed for 416
yards and nine TDs. That's why he was voted Class A-AA Offensive
Player of the Year in a local coaches poll conducted by The Kentucky Post,
but he wasn't the only member of the NewCath team who came out on top in
the balloting. Justin Smith
was voted Defensive Player of the Year. He made 141 tackles at
defensive ends for the Thoroughbreds. Bob
Schneider was voted Coach of the Year. He broke the
state record for career wins (302) and won his second state title in his
40th season at NewCath. The Thoroughbreds played their best football
of the season during the Class A playoffs. They won their last five
games by an average margin of 33.8 points. Schneider said shorter,
less strenuous practices during those final five weeks of the season
helped his players keep a high energy level. "Anybody watching
us at the end had to be impressed with the way our kids played,"
Schneider said. "It was just amazing that we could play that
way throughout the payoffs."
