BA at Father Ryan

[itzme]

It will be a tough game, no doubt. Bontrager is one of the best coaches in the state...always has the Irish ready to play.

BA wins 57 to 53 in overtime. Bill Kotas made clutch free throws down

the stretch to seal the victory.

 

Father Ryan made a furious comeback in the second half after being

down by double digits in the first half and 8 at the half. Dylan Heim

was unconscious from 3 point range in the second half.

 

Congratulations to BA but Kudos to Father Ryan for a great game.

BA did not shoot the ball well but part of that can be attributed to good

defense by Father Ryan.

Ryan played very good D on Bone...as well as I've seen anyone play him. They had nobody to match up with Wright, however, especially after Virgo fouled out. After a tepid shooting first half by both teams, somebody was bound to get hot, and it seemed like the whole Ryan team (especially Heim) couldn't miss for a while. They hung tough, as always. Good win for BA, and now they actually get to play a few on their home court!!

 

Note to the Ryan administration...you took in probably what, $15-$18k for the game. How about springing for an off-duty officer to switch the Franklin Rd. lights manually? It took me 42 minutes to get out of the parking lot.

I 2nd that about the traffic, it was a mess.......but more importantly what a game, Ryan was absolutly on fire from 3 and Brandon as usual was dominant in the paint, and did a great job staying out of foul trouble to stick around for the entire game+ overtime. Both teams really played to their strengths, but BA was just a little much in the end- congrats to both teams can't wait for the rematch.

The parking lot was a mess.... but the game was great. With the score 6-1 at the end of the first quarter, you knew this was a unique game. Heim was a true leader for the Irish, but Wright was too much, and Kotas showed great poise at the free throw line. Heck of a game, can't wait for the rematch.

Great game, the crowds were loud. Did anyone see the BA fans raving outside the Father Ryan gym after the game? That was tight. They went nuts for about 30 minutes.

[Pride30]

That was tight? Not quite.

[dumptruck]

yes it was.

[Pride30]

I thought there was gunna be a dance off for a second or two. That woulda been awful.

[CR4]

Pride it seems like you dont want to talk about the loss, only dancing?

[itzme]

Let's be fair...the ketchup man brought it up.

 

BTW...the dancing was weak. The game was strong!

 

We're done!
