Final.

Sounds like one of the best season openers. I figured Boone would have a hard time stopping Stauffer and thought the Raiders would win this game. Congrats to Boone on what must have been a hard fought win. Both teams should win a lot of games this season.

Surprisingly Ryle lost Stauffer early in this one to an ankle sprain. Maybe early second quarter.

Stauffer wasn't a factor. He had 4 points in the first half. Turned his ankle just before halftime and didn't come back. Scoring leaders for Ryle were Coleman with 19 and McLeash with 11. Leaders for Boone were Cotton with 15 and Popp with 12. Close game the whole way.

WOW! Didn't think it would be this close.

Vollet put in some serious minutes for Ryle. I was really impressed with Cotton and Montgomery tonight. I was expecting to see Gabbard do more.

Why? Its a district game and Ryle is a good team. Good win for Boone, anyone have stats?

I also think Montgomery did well. I think he could end up being Boone's 5th starter.

Agree!

Always good to see Boone win, especially against Ryle.

Popp played very well for Boone. Lots of intangibles. The kid is very quick, and gets to the rim very well. Nice win for the Rebels.

So do we assume that Ryle would have fared better with Stauffer playing 4 quarters?

Absolutely. You can't predict what he would have done in the second half based on his first half. The bottom line is that he is a very good basketball player who is a difference maker. Rematch should be fun.

With that said, Popp didn't play the first quarter. If he starts and plays the first quarter like he did the rest of the game, Boone could have controlled this game instead of it being a dogfight.

I expected to see Boone do more. I wasn't overly impressed. I think Earls serves them much better playing the post but he seems to shoot outside most of the time. His money should be inside.
