Ouch

71-69, it still hurts almost a week later. The underdog York Lions slew your not so mighty Ryerson Rams in a Kerr Hall Gymnasium packed with over 700 spectators. The place was rockin' with the sounds and chants of playoff basketball. We even had to open the upper balcony for the extra fans. Gerald Carlse, one of York's assistant coaches, commented to me about it would be nice if all the games had this kind of atmosphere. Aye! Aye! York won the first two quarters and was ahead, 37-33 at halftime. We came out strong in the third quarter and played the kind of game that had carried us to two regular season victories over York. Aha, we finally got it together and our, 22-12 quarter translated into a, 55-49, 3rd 1/4 lead. Alas, York led by 5th year Senior (hooray and goodbye) Tut Ruach, 22 pts for the game, had a 22-14 final stanza, which got them to Ottawa on Saturday. Not a good thing, as Carleton demolishioned them by 41 points. 

So the year is over and we are all sad the way it ended. However, have we got a bright future and there will be another posting coming out soon which will address that optimism. Until then, thanks for all your support.
