Rams eye two wins to lock up N-O title

By Mike Wertman, Sports Writer Posted 13 February 2022 at 7:56 am

Heading into the final week of the regular season Roy-Hart needs only a pair of home court victories to lock up outright possession of the Niagara-Orleans League boys basketball title.

Currently at 8-2, Roy-Hart holds a one game lead over Newfane (7-3) and a two game edge over defending champion Medina (6-4).

The Rams host Medina on Tuesday and Albion on Thursday.

Anything less than a two game sweep by Roy-Hart would open the door for Newfane to claim at least a share of the title. The Panthers face Barker on Tuesday and Akron on Wednesday.

Medina needs plenty of help in order to claim a share of the title. The Mustangs need wins both at Roy-Hart on Tuesday and at  Wilson on Thursday and for Albion to down Roy-Hart and for Newfane to just spit its two games.
