Community spirit shone as Scranton rallied behind the Lady Royals in their Division III championship match.

SCRANTON, Pa. — Community members showed their team spirit Saturday in Scranton. 

Students and local supporters came out to the University of Scranton’s McElhenny Ballroom to watch the Lady Royals basketball team face off against Ohio’s Denison in the Division III championship match taking place in Salem, Virginia. 

“Very nervous, I was in a situation close to 50 years ago when I played here at Scranton…but I think they’re playing a little nervous, as, as they should be. It’s a big stage.” said Todd Bailey, college admission counselor at Scranton Preparatory School.

The Lady Royals did fall short of the championship, but community support will always prevail.
