11/01/96 (Post until "These kids work hard. Yes, they deserve to be recognized!" becomes a GIVEN.) Coaches and/or Athletic Directors, How about doing us fans a favor ... Please distribute your team's CURRENT roster before the game. It shouldn't take much effort at all - just open a file, print a page, make 50 copies, plop them on a table. The visiting team can bring their own copies. The fans would appreciate it. Thanks, SCFun ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mar 13, 1999 (Game #F1): North Kingstown vs La Salle -
La Salle wins 51-28.
At long last, La Salle girls claim the crown

Rams complete perfect season with 51-28 victory
over North Kingstown to capture the Girls' Division I
title.

PROVIDENCE -- Rack up all the wins in the world, but
there's a certain sense of validation that comes with
winning the "big one" down the stretch.
  La Salle coach Leo Butler watched his Rams prove "they
were the best team in Rhode Island from start to
finish," as they capped a perfect season with their
first state championship in the program's 14-year
history.
  La Salle overcame a sluggish first half and steamrolled
to a 51-28 victory over North Kingstown to capture the
Girls' Division I title at the Credit Union Classic
Interscholastic League High School Basketball
Championships before a roaring crowd at the Civic
Center.
  "A lot of people have never seen us play," said Rams'
senior forward Shannon Perry after leading the I-North
champions with a game-high 24 points, 21 rebounds and 7
steals. "They just see in the paper that we're
undefeated. Now they've seen us. Now they see that this
is the real thing.
  "This is a feeling I can't even explain," added
Perry, who was named MVP of the tournament. "In four
years, we've come real close and today we did it. I
just hope all the little girls coming up can experience
this one day."
  Despite boasting one of the most talented teams in the
state for the last few years, La Salle had continually
fallen short come playoff time. The Rams suffered a
semifinal loss to Ponaganset in 1997 and then fell to
North Kingstown in last year's semis.
  La Salle broke the jinx Wednesday night, though, as
Perry's 34-point performance propelled her team to a
55-48 victory over Ponaganset, ending the Chieftains'
six-year reign in the process and earning the Rams
their first trip to the Civic Center in 12 years.
  "There certainly was a sense of urgency and
frustration," Butler said of his team's missed
opportunities over the years. "I felt for kids like
Shannon Perry, Sue Dyer and Amy Brennan who had worked
hard for four years and still hadn't had a chance to
showcase themselves at the Civic Center. In Rhode
Island, this is the place to come and prove who is No.
1."
  Though La Salle had handily defeated North Kingstown by
30 points in the North-South Challenge last November,
the Rams didn't put much weight on the early lopsided
win, knowing the I-South champions had undoubtedly
improved since then and more importantly remembering
all too well, last year's upset to the Skippers.
  Indeed, North Kingstown had posted another upset in
this year's playoffs, upending St. Raphael, 57-55, to
earn a return trip to the finals.
  The score did stay close through the first 16 minutes
of yesterday's game, as both teams had an unusually
tough time putting the ball in the basket.
  La Salle managed to take the lead on two free throws by
Kate Lally at 10:35, but had difficulty getting into
any kind of a flow.
  Amy Brennan hit a 15-footer from the baseline to put
the Rams up, 16-8, at halftime, closing out an
amazingly low-scoring half.
  Still, Butler was encouraged.
  "Obviously we were a little tight. I think North
Kingstown was too," he said. "But even though we were
only up 16-8 at halftime, we felt good. The bottom line
was we felt we played great defense to hold them to
eight points. And we were getting good looks, but the
ball just wasn't rolling. So we knew it was just a
matter of time before they start falling in the second
half. That basket by Brennan really got us going. It
gave us a little edge going into the locker room."
  Perry kicked it into overdrive after that, pouring in
15 points to lead a 23-6 drive over the first six
minutes of the second half.
  The 25-0 Rams caused all kinds of problems for North
Kingstown with its full-court press, and the Skippers
were never able to recover.
  "Coach Butler gave us a nice talk at halftime," Perry
said. "He just said to calm down and everything would
be all right if we played good defense. We came into
the second half just running. Every shot that went up,
went in."
  Patty Fitzgerald was back in the Rams' lineup after
missing the last two games with a sprained ankle. The
6-foot junior forward contributed 10 points, four
rebounds and two assists to the winning effort.
  Dyer, La Salle's senior point guard, chipped in seven
points and collected four assists.
  "They play strong defense," North Kingstown coach
Burny Guidry said. "That made it very difficult for
our girls to get in position. They're tough to beat."
  Tift paced the Skippers with 13 points, nine rebounds
and three steals. Nicole Campbell finished with nine
points.
