The first round off the 4a playoffs was last night at Salem Hills High School, The confident Skyhawks of Salem faced off against the Rams of Highland High. It was a highly anticipated game, and forced the Salem Hills Skyhawks to take a crash landing after a 59-53 loss.
The game started off well for the Skyhawks when they got the tip and went on a 5-0 run in the first 2 minutes. However the Rams came back and took the lead from the Skyhawks 10-9. It was a good game; both teams continued to go basket for basket most of the game.
The Skyhawks however, were having a lot of difficulty landing shots and getting open. They missed many shots that we normally see them make, not to mention the lack of rebounding. The Rams completely dominated the paint, and the team that controls the paint is the team that controls the game. The final score was 59-53, the Rams on top and leaving Skyhawk arena abnormally quiet, the usual ring of “We Are Skyhawks” was absent from the arena as the Salem Hills players and fans went home--hopes dashed.
The Skyhawks overall season record was 11 wins and 11 loses, but they went 7and 3 in region. They Skyhawks may have lost that playoff game but let us not forget the Skyhawks have back to back region championships and no one can take that from them. Congratulations to the Salem Hills Skyhawks on another great season.
