I really thought that Wyoming East would bring the title home for the third year in a row. Ravenswood had played good defense the first two games but showed
little offense in those two wins. They came out hot and stayed hot from the parimiter(sp), built a 13 point lead in the third quarter and won by ten 62-52.
They continued to play great D and only allowed Shrewsbury 9 points in the game(2 of those in the last minute). Great win for Ravenswood. Maybe the two teams
will go for a best out of five next year as they both have two state titles in the last 4 years.

the thing that shocked me, Ravenswood had been pitiful as late. not even near the team they was when them and East met back the start of the season in New
Richmond and yes i know it was at home, but still East beat them by what 7?
when R'wood is not so great, only beating a Webster Co. team they should prolly destroyed and then being able to get by Oak Hill by the skin of their teeth, i just knew Wyoming East was gonna destroy them in the finals. boy was i surprise?! i dont know if it was as much as talent as it was to Jesse simply being out coached this year. Mick had a simple plan, shut Shrewsberry down and limit his touches and make Wyoming East find another way to beat them! now any other night, i think it would not have worked, but on this night it did. all the talk of how Wyoming East was a 10-11 deep team went down the drain as no one else really stepped up and put the team on their back. to say im shocked is an understatement! i really anticipated a WE-OH state title final, with WE bring the title home for a 3rd time. oh well, just not meant to be. congrats to Ravenswood and Coach Price, you guys totally earned this win! way to go!! |

I was talking to Raymond Rose (retired principal of WE) on Friday night and I mentioned to him that I would never count a Mick Price coached team as a sure
win.
He was able to limit Shrewsbury's touches and that was BIG. Congrats to Mick and his staff as well as the players who trust their coach and do what he asks. Very deserving. |
