COLERAIN BEATS NORTHMONT...ADVANCES TO COLUMBUS!

There are no words to describe the immense pride I have in my heart for this team. Folks, the Colerain Cardinals are DISTRICT CHAMPIONS and are heading to Columbus for the Regional Championships....for the first time in 43 YEARS! Let that sink in...43 YEARS!! What were you doing 43 years ago?

With a gritty, gutty performance, our Colerain Cardinal Men's basketball team beat Clayton Northmont in Dayton on Saturday night by a final of 69-63. After being down 10-0 to start the game and in enemy territory, the Cards did what they have done all year...FIGHT BACK! Read the Enquirer article for more detail.
But most importantly, the Cards survive and advance. And now, they play the #1 ranked team in the state of Ohio in Columbus Northland (and they are pretty good nationally as well...USAToday and PrepNation.com). I know it may be a hike for a Thursday night...but please, get out and support this team. It's been 2 generations since a Colerain basketball team was this succesful. These young men are going to need our support IN FULL FORCE on Thursday night against a team like Northland.

Congratulations to Coach Higgins, his entire staff, and the young men of Colerain Basketball for accomplishing something that only those in the locker room from day 1 thought was possible.
BRING ON NORTHLAND! WE ARE...COLERAIN!!!
