I saw with interest the basketball headline Jan. 29 heralding the “Freeport boys win on last-second 3” (“Last-second 3-pointer lifts Freeport over Burrell,” Jan. 28, TribLIVE). A great win and a fine article supporting the efforts. What I didn’t understand, however, was the lack of a similar story about St. Joseph High School doing exactly the same thing the previous Tuesday as Rylan Zale swished a 3 with two seconds remaining to beat Riverview by one point in Riverview’s gym. Apparently, there was not a sports writer at the game even though St. Joe’s is also a local school.

The memory of the victory will always be there for the Spartans but, sadly, there isn’t a press clipping available to read about it.
