Sad to report that long time Kenmore coach, teacher and referee Yon Jones has passed. She was a great role model for the girls in the city and just a pleasent woman to be around. I will miss her😢. She fought a great battle and now the Lord has taken her to be at his side. 😇🏀🙏

Please Bob. Are u serious. You ever played or even reffed. That dunk was nothing. The ref wants to be noticed. Other 2 were not even beginning to blow whistle. What this kid did was dunk and swung a little until he had balance. No intent. That ref is a headliner.
Clark proved she is by far the best player in the college ranks for sure. What an impressive performance by her. Holy smokes Caitlyn welcome to Cleveland, Ohio!!!!!!
Congrats to members Copley, Medina and Streetsboro for their wins tonight and advancing to regional finals.
Copley 47-40 over Bellevue
Boro 45-42 over SVSM
Medina 52-50 over Lake
Good luck Friday ladies!

Boro plays Laurel
Medina plays Magnificat
