One of the biggest games of the Northern Kentucky high school basketball season is taking on new meaning this year.The varsity boys basketball game between Covington Catholic and Highlands Tuesday, Jan. 17, will be played in support of Covington Catholic senior Thomas Burns, who is battling Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer that primarily attacks bones.To show support and honor Thomas, close friends from CovCath designed and coordinated the production and sale of 'TB Strong' T-shirts. The goal was to sell 200 shirts and in just a week's time, the students well exceeded this target, selling over 800 shirts, not only to Covington Catholic community members but also to students and fans from Highlands.
