Ryle 46 Conner 42

Heard that Conner held the ball for 6 minutes in 2nd quarter and score was 13-13 at half. Conner had a 2 point lead with about 2 minutes to go but would end up losing by the final score of 46-42. Sounds like they made it interesting for the lady raiders.

Not many teams have come within 4 of Ryle lately. Sounds like Aaron's strategy worked pretty well.

I'd love to comment but I'd rather watch it all play out for Ryle. get your running shoes on ladies

With whistle happy refs early on, and 2 Ryle starters on bench early in second quarter, the 5 plus minute pause in action may have benefitted the Raiders in the end.

Conner played very scrappy, and Coach Stamm kept them fired up thru the end, credit to them! Lots of good D on both sides and Conner started hitting 3's which kept it close.

 

Fun crosstown / district rival game! (Except the 2nd qtr!)

I assume the officials didn't tell Ryle defenders that they could not come out and pressure the ball, correct?

You are correct..but the officials were distracted during the stand and dribble quarter..I think one broke out a lawn chair to read the sports page..one ran to skyline and back..one wrote a review on war and peace

Per the KHSAA site Conner was 11-20 from the foul line. Free throw shooting continues to haunt the lady cougars. Have to think that a few of those the second half were front ends. Also looks like Hurst struggled with only 2 pts and 0-9 from the field. This team is capable of upsetting someone should they get to the regional but they would have to be clicking on all cylinders imo.
