Ryle 56 - Ballard 54

 

Boone County 52 - Lafayette 43

 

Notre Dame 44 - Harrison County 34

 

Rowan County 69 - Bishop Brossart 34

 

 

Nice comeback wins for both Ryle and Boone County who will meet in the consolation game today. Ryle fell behind by 9 in the 3rd quarter before a spirited comeback got them up by 5. A last second "3" by Ballard got the final score back to a 2-point margin.

 

Ballard played their best game of the tournament by far, with nice outside shooting and a great performance from the free throw line. Sydney Moss is beginning to round into playing shape for Ryle and Abby Jump continued to shoot the three-ball well. Also, another Ryle player to watch is Liz Meyer who is back from a hand/wrist injury and looking good.

 

Gutsy performance by Boone's Jacy Bradley led the Boone turnaround from a first half deficit. Playing on some sore/aching wheels, Bradley was outstanding in her overall play; scoring, dishing for scores, playing defense very well, and handling whatever pressure Lafayette brought, particularly late in the game.

 

Rowan County and Notre Dame will meet in the finals. Both very well coached and the two best teams in this tournament at this time. Ryle-Boone County in the consolation game, and I believe Ballard-Lafayette in the 5/6 game and Brossart/Harrison County in the 7/8 game.

 

Nice Tournament, well run by both hosts, ND and Boone.

Good luck ND girls
