Cardinals Dream Season Comes to an End

Columbus, OH - No one expected this run. But everyone who saw it, will remember it. The Cardinals traveled into enemy territory for the second game in a row and unlike their last game against Northmont in Dayton, the Cards just didn't have enough to pull of the Mother of all upsets in Columbus against the #1 team in the entire nation as they fell to Northland, 70-41.

The defending State Champion Vikings were frustrated in the first half as Colerain's press provided enough pressure to create a very exciting first half that ended 35-27, Northland. However, whatever adjustments were made worked for the home team as the Vikings outscored our Cardinals 35-14 in the second half to pull away and win by 29.

WeAreColerain.com would like to pay a special thanks to a tremendous Senior class that has endured a tremendous amount over the past 4 years. These young men deserve a big "WELL DONE!" for leading this program to a place they had only been once before in school history.

Congrats to Coach Higgins and his entire staff for an incredible coaching job this year. As for the underclassmen...learn from this experience. Come summer, hit the gym and hit it hard. A GMC Championship is no longer out of your reach, it is now a goal.

From all of us here at WeAreColerain.com, thanks for the incredible memories of an AMAZING basketball season!

WE ARE...COLERAIN!!
