A Little Behind...
Finally MAKING the time to get this picture posted of the Schuyler Rams with their 1st place trophy from the District Tournament win against Macon at Palmyra.
This was one heck of a game to watch. At first I wasn't sure that the boys were going to pull through to win it (even Meema said she was about ready to shut the radio off somewhere around 1st Quarter)...but from then on it was pretty much game-on. Down by two with two seconds on the clock, Jesse Wheeler made a three-point shot to win the game. I'm pretty sure I hadn't heard that much yelling and screaming from the Rams Fans at any point during the season. The fans leaped to their feet and flooded the court to congratulate the team on their victory.
Following this game, the Rams won the sectional game against Blair-Oaks at Mexico and lost a somewhat unfairly matched game against Whitfield, a private school in the St. Louis area.
I'm disappointed that the season is over... not disappointed in the boys at all, just that the season is now over. I had a lot of fun this year following them here, there and yonder just taking pictures and cheering them on. I do have to congratulate the boys on how far they progressed towards state competition. It had been 28 years since the Schuyler boys had won districts...and this year's team went an extra step further by winning sectionals and progressing to regionals.
The amount of support shown by Rams Fans this year was phenomenal! Each game they won, the crowd grew just a little more each time. At Mexico's sectional game Rams Fans managed to fill an entire half of the seating...BUT at Hannibal's regional game Rams Fans filled around 75% of the seats. Kudos to the parents, faculty, fans, and the Schuyler Student Section (or SSS, as the later became known as) for their tremendous amount of support at each and every game! It was an A-W-E-S-O-M-E season! Thanks for the entertainment Rams... CAN... NOT... WAIT... FOR... NEXT... YEAR!!!
