Varsity Girls lose KPAC semi but came back strong to the finish

       The Varsity Girls Basketball team after defeating Maples 83-39 in the qaurter finals on Monday, onWednesday played the #2 team, #6 in the province, Miles Mac Buckeyes.  While the Royals opened up the game with a nervous and uncharacteristic low scoring half and dug a 20 point hole for themselves by halftime, the second half was another story. 
         In the second half of the game, after quickly dropping to 27 points behind, the Royals rallied to score 58 points in the second half, pulling within 5 with 2 minutes left in the game, only to lose by 8 at the end.  considering the Royals averaged 56 points per game this season, this was a gritty character game, and every point was battled hard for.  While the season ends for the Varisty Girls, they definitely went out in a blaze of glory last night, and we salute those senior players that are moving on, after showing leadership, strong play and good sportsmanship throughout the season:  Holly Goodbrandson, Brandy Fekete, and Ramey Goetz.                                T.
