Wild see saw final in 33rd district at Boone. Ryle jumped out 9 - 0. Boone led by 11 at half. Ryle came back but Rebels score winning basket with 6 seconds.

My favorite part of the night was when the announcer asked the Ryle fans to please show some good sportmanship. Talk about over the top. I am a Campbell fan and glad. I would be embarassed to be associated with that group. These are 14 and 15 year old girls. Cheer for yor team not against the opponent.

Did not see any problems with Ryle or CC parents. Was nicely reffd game so just minimal fussing from few parents on both sides. The refs were actually chuckling at little kids in front row making silly noises which were not actually very loud. Thought it was decent of one CC fan to point out to another CC fan that Ryle's team is, in fact, all freshman when the other fan yelled "NOW you put in the freshman players." when Ryle emptied their 3 person bench late in the game.

Ryle fans considerably smaller in numbers and more subdued than CC as Ryle's Jv and Varsity played at the same time at New Cath, but no bad behavior from any of the parents on either side.

Kudos to CC all tourney members, and the others that were announced previously. Brittany Fornash, Holly Turner, and Holly Schwarre from Campbell -I think. CC growing their program nicely, too.

Finals tonite at Notre Dame - Lady Ryle freshman team over Lady Camels 39 -22. Ryle finishes 25 - 2 after also defeating Walton, Scott and Highland in the frosh tournament, while CC ends a great 18 - 4 season after getting through St Henry, Conner, and Holy Cross before falling to Ryle tonight.

Thanks to NDA for hosting again!
