Romeo Bulldogs boys basketball team

won their state high school tournament district championship today. They defeated Rochester Stony Creek HS, Troy High, and Troy Athens HS by a combined margin of about 70 points.

We were concerned for Blake Cushingberry when he rolled his ankle on Tuesday night and missed the fourth quarter. However he did play (very well I might add) on Thursday and Saturday.

A good test for this team is Wednesday in a regional semifinal game against Pontiac Northern HS. PN has won a couple state Class A championships in the last ten years and always has a very good team. The other game in the region being played at Troy HS has Orchard Lake St. Mary against Canton HS and should be fun to watch also.

Kids in the Dawg Pound are having fun bantering with other schools' student cheering section, reminding players that they missed the rim on a shot (Airrr ball) or committed a violation like double-dribble (You can't do that!), and cluing the driver to "warm up the bus" because the game is over. I look forward to seeing them at regional games.

Go Dawgs!
