Holmes boys' basketball coach David Henley hadn't planned on telling his players that their next game will be broadcast locally Fox19 (WXIX), mainly because he didn't know.

"It is?" Henley said when he heard the news. "That's pretty cool, huh? It's good exposure. Hopefully we'll play well and get a win."

The Bulldogs, ranked No. 1 in the Enquirer Northern Kentucky coaches' poll and the state Associated Press poll, will play defending Class 3A Maryland state champion Largo Saturday as part of the Bill Keightley HoopFest at South Laurel High School in London, Ky. And although Henley is pretty sure his players will find out about the 2:30 p.m. telecast sometime between now and tipoff, they're not going to hear it from him.

"I'm not going to tell them because they'll probably want to show off," he said. "But I'm sure they'll find out anyway."
