On Monday, October 20th, there was a showdown in Motown. The St. Robert Rams junior girls basketball team hosted a good match-up against the Alexander Mackenzie Mustangs. The night started out rough as the Rams allowed back-to-back baskets in what seemed to be a momentum builder for the Mustangs. The Rams quickly regained their pace, though, as they started with a well-executed inbound play to score, followed by forced turnovers and steals. That wasn’t the end of it – the Rams demonstrated excellent all-around ability as they hammered the Mustangs in the post on both offense and defense. The Rams put on a show in the first half by wowing the crowd with three point plays and circus shots. It was as if they were executing plays straight from the San Antonio Spurs’ playbook! They led 24-14 going into halftime.
