They got us playing their game, said a frustrated Ted Smith, and they really scorched us on the fast break. The Royals came back in the final quarter to make a game of it.

The Royals may have been looking past the Tigers in anticipation of playing East, the number One ranked team in the state, and instead lost both games over the weekend.

He is like a third guard on the floor. Roys Little Men play an important role in this years success. Brad McCaulley and Troy Thompson are both lightning fast, and tenacious on defense. They create a lot of turnovers against Royal opposition. Roy has been going to its bench, often, for the services of Jed Porter and Mike Reske.
