Holy Royal Rally

Forget blizzards, power outages, season-opening episodes of The Voice. The real drama tonight was in the Assumption High School gymnasium. The girls basketball regional championship drama, er game, against the Edgar Wildcats went something like this.

Act 1: Regardless of the final score, this was to be the game on the home court for our seniors. Always bittersweet.

Act 2: Edgar pulls out to a huge lead with their sophomore phenom hitting 4 three-pointers in the first several minutes. "Do not let #1 shoot!"

Intermission: Halftime score: Royals 16, Wildcats 29. (Not a typo. Uff da)

Act 3: Royals rally! I mean really, really rally. So much action! A last-second Royals three-pointer in regulation sends the game into OT!

Act 4: As in 4 minutes of overtime play for the championship.

Final scenes: Your Regional Champions! Final score: Royals 53, Wildcats 47.

Addressing the Royal Nation.

Please stay tuned for scenes from the next episode, er game... Sectional round one at Wausau Newman on Thursday evening! Go Royals! So proud of you ladies!
