Two teams that are trying to show they belong in the upper tier of the 9th Region.

Ryle ( 0-2 ) is on the second night of a back to back after the nail biting, tough loss to 9th Region contender Holy Cross. This isn't the NBA, no load management. Ryle's kids are looking to get their first tally in the win column.

Lloyd ( 2-1 ) coming off their own back to back on Friday and Saturday where they lost the last one to a very solid Ashland team in a game Lloyd feels like they had all the ability to win.

Both teams should have got their football players back around the same time and with a week under their belts should be getting into form.

Good gauging stick for both teams.

Should be a good one in Union at 7:30.

Ryle isn’t shying away from comp to get the '25-26 season started.

Lloyd with only 4 players who scored?

"Leading" scorers. Ryle also had more than four.

I love Mark, but 859 Sports Radio wears me out. At some point I have to turn off the noise.

I noticed Lloyd was short handed in this game. It is flu season and everyone's not Jordan. No excuses though. I don't know that it would have been enough to swing a W for the Juggs but it definitely would have made a difference.

43 of 45 points accounted for by Lloyd's 4. So I imagine one more player scored 2.
