River Coach Rick Isaly must have thought he was watching a replay of last year’s district final.Saturday’s rematch in the Division IV district final against Berlin Hiland was almost a carbon copy of how the game played out one year ago.River started well, kept it close through the best part of two quarters.But then the Hawks take over.Just like in 2023, Isaly and his team had to watch the game gradually get away in the second half.And just like in 2023, River had to settle for falling short of its goal of a district title in a 62-44 loss Saturday, March 2 at Cambridge High School.“In the second quarter, it started to get away from us,” Isaly said.
The Seminoles made winning a sectional title look easy.Monroe Central outclassed Bridgeport in a 67-16 victory Friday, March 1 at Monroe Central High School.The game was never really close.Tucker Howell and Chance Allen combined for 11 points in the first quarter.
