The Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds won the 2012 9th Region championship rematch in convincing fashion Wednesday.

The Thoroughbreds dominated the visiting Boone County Rebels, 65-41 to remain undefeated at 4-0 on the season. All wins have come against 9th Region opponents. This marked the first home game of the year for NewCath.

The Rebels fell to 2-4 in a rebuilding year. Boone County graduated its top eight players from last year’s 9th Region championship that finished 27-8 including the 54-49 win over NewCath in the regional title game.

Nick Seibert led the Thoroughbreds with 18 points. All the points came in the first half as Seibert made four three-pointers.

NewCath forced nine Rebel turnovers in the first quarter to build a 23-4 lead. The Thoroughbreds led 38-14 at halftime and 53-27 entering the fourth quarter.

The Thoroughbreds cross the Ohio River on Friday for their next game at 7:30 p.m. They take on the Glen Este Trojans from the east side of Cincinnati.
