Having followed Warren Basketball for a long time, to see a team that looked like it did not belong on the floor with the size and athletism as Warren, Rockford fundamentally won the game on the defensive end. Kudos to the Rockford Auburn fans -their enthusiasm was what High School basketball was all about and they should be proud of themselves and their team. To the Warren seniors and to Chuck Ramsey - thank you for all the memories. This era of Warren basketball for the last 19 years of Coach Ramsey's career, will never be duplicated. I am glad for all the nights I passed up on attending other more glamorous events in order to see this program play. It is a shame that more students and adults did not back this program in its last year of Coach Ramseys tenure. For a school of 4500, to have about 75 kids attend the Super-Sectional, and to have 85% of the Warren adult fans to never get up out of their seats to show appreciation to what this team has accomplished, spoke volumes. Very sad to see. Congrats to Rockford Auburn – what they pulled off last night was a great achievement.
