Rams wallop Meadowbrook, chance at Redemption, face Saint V in championship game

The Trotwood Rams, making their 2nd straight OSHAA State Basketball appearance, had a 10:45 game, against a mentally sharp and tough minded team in Meadowbrook, so the consensus was uncertainty on how the high scoring Rams would come out the gate.

Amari Davis leads fast break in Trotwood 88-42 win over Meadowbrook in the OHSAA Semifinals 


Well they put all of that to bed, as they came out with one of the best performances in ohsaa history with a 88-42 thumping of Meadowbrook in the state semifinal D-2 matchup.


Rams junior star G-F Amari Davis led all scorers with 21 points, Senior captain and star G Myles Belyeu added 18, with Super sophomore G-F Carl Blanton adding 18 as well.
Throw in the intensity of 2-sport star Justin Stephens and his electrifying dunks and blocks, and you had one of the greatest Semifinal wins in OHSAA history.

So big a margin that the newly added "Running Clock" Rule was implemented due to score difference.

 With Akron St Vincent St Mary winning their semifinal game (62-51 over Lexington) it sets up the Rematch the Rams have been Oh-So patiently waiting for.



Most of the players and the coaches still feel the sting of the last second loss from last year.

They want nothing better than to avenge that loss in the Championship.

However be careful what u wish for.

Know that coaching guru Dru Joyce will have a couple of tricks up his sleeve, as he guided his St. V squad to a epic win past season.
They are the benchmark in high school sports in Ohio right now.

And Joyce is a master of getting his troops ready for war.


This should be a war for D-2 supremacy.
Are the Rams up for the task?

State Title on the Line.

Redemption has been the theme all season. Will it continue for RamNation hoops like it did for football?



As we already Instragram tagged LeBron James, get ya popcorn ready.

Should be a ESPN Classic.
