Knights lose on buzzer beater at home

ROYAL CITY — The Royal Knights (11-2) were defeated 88-84 by the Zillah Leopards after a buzzer beater three that also drew a foul. Despite the loss, Head Coach Tim Ravet said it was important his players experience a competitive game like this. “It was a good fight,” Ravet said. “It's games (like that) you got to play in that if you want to do something special at the end of the season, you got to have games like that. Obviously, we probably learned more from a loss than a win.”
