On Friday, January 17th, the boys basketball team took on the Mayfield Wildcats. This was an important WRC game, but it was also the return of senior, Ryan Bowers after his ACL injury. Ryan tore his ACL this past summer and throughout his recovery he was unsure if he would be able to play at all during his senior year, which is any athlete’s worst nightmare. But just a few weeks ago, he was cleared by his doctors and played his first minutes during this game. When I talked to Ryan about how it felt to be back he said, “It was great to be back on the court, I missed playing with my friends and the atmosphere in the gym during the games”. This was a tough game for the guys and even though they didn’t end the night with a win, the boys played hard. You could feel the emotion on the court as they gave it their all but they ended up coming up short. One of Ryan’s closest friends, senior Chris Blauman, was very excited to be on the court with Ryan again, “It was definitely one of the happiest moments of my basketball career, I can’t wait for senior night when we get to all play together”. With only 8 games left in the regular season, everyone needs to come out and support the boys as much as they can. Their next game is away at Kenston on Tuesday, January 28th and varsity will start around 7.
